lIINDSOII, .AUGUSI' 19.

Yesterday morning her Maatta.rr, accompanied by
Princesses ELHIAVETH and Soma of Gcoucesren,
the Ladies in Waiting, and General 'Lamm. left
the Castle, in two coaches and four, and visited the
Duke and Duchess of MARLBOROUGH, at their house,
White Knights, near Reading. The Royal visitors
arrived there about twelve o'clock, and soon after-
wards the Duke and Duchess of Gunrcerria, attend-
ed by Mr. and Lady WYNNE, arrived from Bagthot.
The QUZOI and the Duchess of MARLIVIROUGH
rode out in a garden chair, and the PRINCIDIBM in a
second, followed them through the pleasure grounds,
but the weather proving unfavourable, caused the
Royal party to return to the house, where there was
a sumptuous dinner prepared for them.
Her MaJrnr, and the rest of the visitors, left at
six o'clock, and arrived at the Castle about eight.
This morning the Qualm and Faeces' EUZABBni
took an airing to Frogmore.

The Wellesley Estate. in the County of Meath. is
purchased by D. O'CALLAGHAN, Esq. of Cork. for
465.000.

The Duke of Lerman had a narrow escape a
few days past i the reins of an arch, which formed
part of the buildings at Carton, having fillers in un-
expectedly a few seconds alter his Grace had been

- -
inspecting it. _ _
Lord Dot:own:4mm we are happy to state, is so
far recovered as to be considered out of danger. His
complaint wan gout in the stomach.
Thursday Mr. VA murmur visited the Bank of Ire-,
I land. He minutely examined every department, and
expressed his entire approbation of the atrangementss
alter which he partook of a most splendid and sump-
, mous &jam.
By our letters from Liverpool, this morning, we
learn that lacumox had taken his passage on board
the John and Edward, bound to New York, and was
to sail the first lair wind.

The death of the Count di BARCAA first Minister
of the King of PORTUGAL, appears to have been
followed by the appointment of a new Administra-
tion, the names of whobe Members we btre sabp_in
—THOMAS AHTHONIO Di VILLA Nova, Prime Mini-
ster ; Count PALIJILLA, now AUIthISSAdOt it the
Court of London, Minister for the Foreign and War
Department ; Count Dos ARCOS (Governor of Bit-
bia), Minister of Marine; M. Bump, the depart-
ment of the Treasury.
Baron ESZN and the other conspirators, have been
found guilty. and are expected to be ordered for ere-
cution. The proceedings on their trials have been
withheld from publication fur the present, from pru-
dential considerations.

A considerable degree of jealousy exists at pre-
sent among the cbmmercial subjects of the King of
Holland and the Netherlands. The Dutch mar-
chants have to maintain a competition with their
neighbours in the adjacent country of Flanders, and
more especially with the privikged city of Antwerp-
There is another contingency by which their expec-
tations have been disappointed; heretofore Amster-
dam was the place where almost all the loans of Eu-
rope were negotiated, and if the opulent merchants
of that capital were not the lenders, thee were the
immediate contractors, and they bad at least their
brokerage, commission, exchanges, and re-exchanges
on the whole operation.
Such, they tell us, is not the advantageous condi-
tion of affairs at present, and Denmark, on very dis-
advantageous terms, bat negotiated a loan to the
amount of two millioni Sterling, with one of the ci.
devant Italian republics now under the supremacy of
the King of Sardinia.
Another circumstance has increased the mortifica-
tion of the Dutch subjects of the sovereignty of the
Netherlands. The fortresses of Breda, Bois•le-Doc,
and the chain of stations on the Dutch frontiers, are
no longer regarded as the security of the house of
Orange and its dependents, but the chief attention is
paid to the fortifications within the limits of Flan-
ders, oo the' side Of France, and the principal sate-
guard of the united dominions is hereafter to be
looked for in that direction. An immense number of
artificers are employed on these strongholds, and,
under such circumstances, a military character is
given to the Government, which is not at all suited
to the grave eharactes and commercial habits of the
people of Holland.

Such are the estates of di&rence now subsisting,
which, added to the dissonance of sentiment betwe:n
the Catholics and Protestants of the same country,
wall sooner or later chew themselves in a manner more
or lessdangerous to the public tranquillity-
Tut CELEBRATED I aisu Comeatazi.—On Wednes-
day evening last, the Budget of Mr. MArnaws, the
Irish Comedian, attracted a crowded and fashionable
audience, to one Town Hall we discovexed some
of high rank. He was patronized by Sir J. BROWN,
and the Officers of the Depot l the great celebrity
acquired by Mr. MATuzws in Irish characters, in-
duced as to attend, at the very opening of his Bud-
get. We reflected a great deal, and were not dis-
appointed. The talent of this Gentleman is of an
original, and attractive nature, which we have cal-
culated' from the very powerful impression made
upon his audience. He displays more genuine na-
ture than we ever witnessed in any theatrical eller-
lions. and received the admiration and applause be so
well desetved. His performance was given out for
'repetition amidst peals of the most enthusiastic appro.:
