His Royal Highness held a Privy Council, at which
the immediate Dissolution of Parliament was agreed
upon. Viscount CUSTWYND attended, as Clerk of
the Council.

Arrangements were made for the REGENT going
in State to the House of Peers to do e the Session of
Parliament. The King's, the Queen's, and the Tilt-
yard Guards mounted duty in the morning, in white
gaiters, &c.
The Crown was removed from the Tower of Lon-
don to the House of Peers. The streets from the
Horse Guards to the Parliament House were covered
with gravel. The State Attendants were assembled
at St. James's Palace, soon after one o'clock.

The PRINCE REGENT arrived in his private car-
riage' at St. James's Palace, from Carlton House,
'soon after half-past one o'clock. The different state
rooms were filled with persons respectably dressed,
to see his Royal Highness pass with his attendants.
His Royal Highness was received by the Lord
Steward of the Household, Lord AMHERST, as Lord
in Waiting; Sir JOHN CRADDOCK, Groom in Wait-
ing; the Master of the Horse; Sir WILLIAM KEPPEL,
as Master of the Robes ; the Comptroller of the
Household, the Treasurer of the Household, the State
Page, the Page of Honour (Master GREAVES) ; Gold
Stick (Earl 11-lAnniNcrom); Silver Stick (Colonel
Macs); the Captain of the Yeomen of the Guard,
four Gentlemen Ushers, the Clerk Marshal, &c.

There were four carriages and six, one with a set
of beautiful black horses, and three with bays, aR
decorated with crimson ribbons. The eight beautiful-
cream-coloured horses were decorated on their manes
' and harness with light blue ribbons. The PRINCE
REGENT wore a Field Marshal's uniform, decorated
with his numerous Orders. He was attended in the
state carriage by the Duke of MONTROSE, as Master
of the Horse, and Lord AMHERST, as the Lord in
Waiting.
The. REGENT began to move out of the Palace-
yard exactly at a quarter before two o'clock, saluted
by the Band of the Guard playing God save the
King," and the sound of trumpets. The weather
being remarkably fine, as great a concourse.of people
were assembled as we recollect on any similar oc-
casion, especially under the circumstance of the
shortness of the notice when it was to take place,
which rendered the procession particularly splendid,
and it was enlivened by the females in the gardens,
Park, at the windows of the houses, curtseying, and
the waving of hats and ltuzzaing of the men in the
Park and the streets.

His Royal Highness entered the House cf. Peers at
six minutes after two o'clock, which was announced
by a Royal salute of cannon. His Royal Highness
returned from the House and entered the State car-
riage at 25 minutes before three o'clock, and the pro-
cession returned to St. James's Palace in the same
order as it went, and was generally cheered by the
populace. The REGENT arri•ed at the Palace at
three o'clock. His Royal Highness evidently ap-
peared to suffer extremely from the oppressive heat
of the day, but we were happy to observe he appeared
in very good health and spirits.
The House of Lords, above the Bar, was yesterday
crowded with Ladies, in number beyond any former
precedent. Among them woe many beautiful and
superbly dressed women. The Duke and Duchess 01
CAMBRIDGE, in full dress, with their attendants, were
present. His Royal Highness, as before, sat at one
extremity of the Woolsack; the Grand Dqlce MiciinEL
and suite were also present. These illustrious Per-
sonages were considered as the principal point of at-
traction. The State Procession of the PRINc-.: RE-
cif:sr, on coming down to and returning from the
House of Lords, was extraordinarily magnificent.

An article from Ilanover mentions that the P..lace
of Furstenhof, in that city, is preparing tor the re-
ception of the Duke of CLAttexce and his intended
Consort.

The Duke of Dzvossasaa has arrived a: Brussels
from Paris.

yesterday a Court of Directors was held at th e

pointed Secretary to the Company, and sworn into
that office. PETER Aenen, Esq. Chief Clerk, was

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—IL was yesterday deter-
mined to close this Theatre till Monday, when it is
to be re-opened for the Benefits of the Performers
(save only One night when the Duke and Duchess of
CAMBRIDGE Flea to honour it with their presence)
till the 30th inst. when it closes fur the season.
MEMOIRS OF LUCIEN BONAPARTI4-.-M. PELTIER,
in his " Afti i‘u," strongly corroborates the opinion
already given of these Interesting Memoirs.
He observes that they are intitled in every respect to be dis-
tinguished from the mass of secret histories, so called, which
have hitherto appeared respecting the family of Bonaparte. They
can only have been wrineat by a confidential Secretary, by one
who has folluwed the steps and witnessed the actions of Lucien
for four aau twenty years, and who now openly exhibits him to
public view. A Nobleman who figured a little in the Revolu-
tion, and who enjuyx a Elzh distinction in the career of Art, hap-
pened to be in Lontioa during the printing of the Work, and as
he had been intimately connected with the individual in question,
he was consulted respecting their authenticity by the English
Editor. He acknowledged their veracity. with the exception of
some rectificatirma, which he ass made to certain Anecdotes, and
some facts which be Sias added in a Letter addressed to the
Editor, and which is printed at the end of the Volume. This
Appendix gives to the Work a double seal of authenticity: the
Reader rill find a great fund of curious Anecdote, and the His-
torian rich inatszia, for tae annals of the Revolution.
