At the moment while this Paper is putting to press
all is bustle and gaiety at the Court end of the town,
and nothing occupies the general conversation but
the Nuptials of the Heiress of the British Throne,
with a descendant of one of the most ancient Pro.
testant Houses in Europe. 'Ail are pressing, west.
ward, in their best clothes, with as much tag. rness
AS if they were to be admitted to the nuptials, and some
as anxiously as if they were to be the parties. We have
given ample particulars of the arrangements in the
next page, and shall therefore in this place confine
ourselves to the pedigree of the Pntecti, who, -Re
hope, is destined to become the founder of a long line
of British Soveteigns:
German genealogists trace the origin of the present
Saxon Ptinces to Arerncien, the celebrated Chief of
the Saxons, who for thirty years contended against
all the power of CnteLEMACNE, and who, after his
final submission to that cnnqueror, still retained large
tertiterial possessions, together with the Duc.q floe.
From him were descended the Dukes of Saxony, of
whom Br:At:ARO, in 1'212, was the fit st that was raised
to the Electoral dignity. The Electorate was en-
joyed by the descendants of ti.ls Prince until 11'22,
when, en the failure of his line, it W2S conferred
on Fa:maim 66 the Warlike," Margrave cif Tr:u-
ittotA, also a deF:cedant of Werixlxo. Tte
grandsons of 6;6 lAttcr were ERNEmT and AL-
ame, from whom are descended the Ernestine and
Albertine branches cf the House of Saxony. The
Ernestine. which was the elder branch, continued to
enjoy the Electorate Pita 15 JOHN, " the
magnanimous," was qepri7ed of shpt dignity by the
Emperor CHARLES V. '.cho conferred it on Mnunic
66 the Patriarch" of the Albertine branch, to whits
the present KING of SAXONY belongs. " The ?rotes.
tant Religion," says a learned writer nt the present
day, " has the greatest obligations to the Princes of
the Ernestine line. FREDERICK, the el,'lst son r-f
EnNEsr, was LUTHER'S first patron and defender.
JOHN, the second son of ERNEST, was the chief pro-
moter of the Protestation against the Church of
Rome, from which the Protestants have derived their
appellation. This JOHN was surnamed "the constant."
He was the father of. the above-mentioned JOHN,
" the magnanimous," and grandfather of JOHN Faa.
DEIUCK, the founder of the House of SAXHCOBOURG.
Of this illustrious House the late head was the Duke of
Saxe COBOURG, who commanded the Allied Armies
at an early period of the French Revolution ; and
Prince LEOPOLD, who is this day to be united to the
Princess CHARLOTTE, is the third son of that eminent
Commander.
Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the But India
House, when the following Commanders took leave, previous
to departing for their respective destination s—Captain Cress.
well, of the Astell, for Ceylon and Bengal; Captain M'Dougald,
of the Lady Carrington, for Madeira and Bengal; Capt. Mayne,
of the Batavia, Captain Marquis, of the Lady Campbell, Ind
Captain Bunn, of the Mangles, for Bengal; Captain Masan, of
the Ann, and Captain .Cobb, of the Alexander, for Madeira a:4

We regret to state the total loss of his Majesty's frigate Phenix,
by a hurricane, in the Bay of Chisme in the Archipelago ; but we
are happy to find, and it will be a consolation to the friends of
those on board, that not a single soul was lest on this unfortunate
Gamlen.
Moante.—The body of Mr. Garza, of Rasharkirx, near Bel-
hist, was lately found murdered and dreadfully mangled in one of
his own outhouses. A hatchet was lying beside the mangled
corisse. It is lamentable to add, that two of the deceased's sons
and a daughter are implicated in the murder of their lather, and
have all been committed to Carrickfergus jail.
