The PalEca REGENT, accompanied by Sir Rix-
Jamul BLOOMFIELD, alighted from his travelling
chariot at the house of the Duke and Duchess of
GLOUCESTER, in Marlborough-row, at seven o'clock
on Friday evening. The bells of the Parish Church
immediately rung a merry peal on the occasion. His
ROYAL HIGHNESS had the happiness to find the
Duchess of GLOUCESTER (who has been indisposed
for a few days) much recovered.
On Christmas Day, at noon, Divine Service was
performed in the presence of the REGENT, the Duke
and Duchess of GroucnsTaa, and the Royal Suite,
by the Rev. R. J. CARR. The REGENT and the
Duchess of GLOUCESTER received the Sacrament.
The Royal Dinner Party was small and select. At
nine o'clock a few of the Nobility joined ,the assem-
blage, and a charming selection of music was per-
formed for the entertainment of the guests.
The workmen and artists of the Pavilion, anxious
to get the stately edifice forward for the reception of
his ROYAL HIGHNESS, had assembled on Christmas
Day, but a mandate from the REGENT quickly occa-
sioned their dismissal, .his ROYAL HIGHNESS posi-
tively ordering that the day should be observed as
one of rtst and sacred devotion.

We quote with great pleasure the following extract
of a letter, dated Crieff, December 20 :—" The Hon.

ready to work. Single men have Is. a day, married,

The notorious General MACE, who was disgraced

CHARLES was the mediator on the occasion.
A letter frcm a Naval Officer on the St. Helena
station, dated the 2d September, states, that at that
time the island was perfectly healthy. The writer
says that BONAPARTE, who was in good health, some-
times rides out; but seems extremely desirous to shun
observation, as upon the sight of any one he instantly
returns, home. Madame MobrrnotoN had quitted
the island, and it was thought BONAPARTE would ul-
timately be left alone. The restrictions are unre-
lated, and escape is considered impossible—every
avenue being guarded, the heights crowned with
guns, and numbers of boats are patroling the whole
extent of the lee side of the island all nighte—
One ship cruises to windward, to board all vessels
approaching the island, and another to leeward to
pick up any boats that might venture to leave the
island. The TEES frigate was stationed off Leinon
Valley about a mile and a half from James Town, to
watch that pass, and to overhaul all fishing boats,
which were not permitted to go out without being
first examined. No vessel was allowed to anchor
after sunset or before sunrise. No persons can land
without the Governor's permission, which being ob-
tained, they are required to sign their names, with
their ranks, &c. in a register kept for that purpose.
All packages must be delivered to an Officer ap-

cheese, Ss. and even East India produce very high,
as also European goods. No spirits can be imported
without being subject to an enormous duty. In no-
ticing the general appearance of the Island, the writer
describes its exterior as a mass of high steep cliffs,
without a blade of grass to be seen ; every cliff and
hole in the rocks stuck full of guns. In the interior
are many pleasant spots, in a good state of cultiva-
tion, producing pumpkins, potatoes, and other vege-
table roots; fruit k out of the question. The new
habitation erecting for BONAPARTE was in a state
of forwardness, and expected to be completed at the
end of the present year; it is pleasantly situated, and
perfectly convenient in every respect. A young Mid-
shipman, in climbing among the rocks, had. Slipped
over a precipice about 150 feet, and was dashed to
pieces. The sheep often get into such sisuations that
they cannot get either backwards or forwards, and
, are dashed to atoms. •
