LEIPSIC, AUGUST IS
.

It is now said that the Saxon Diet will not meet
before the usual time, that is, on the 6th of January,
1821. The health of Prince Schwartzenburg does
not amend in the degree that his friends desire. For-
merly he rode out frequently in a carriage, but this
he has now ceased to do, chiefly according to the
orders of his physician, who wishes again to accus-
tom him more to bodily exercise. He still resides in
the Milk Island (a; it is called) where he is often seen
sitting in the open air.
Accounts from Syria of the 17th July say, that on
the 13th, 250 houses were destroyed by fire in the
quarter of the Turks.

• Her MAJESTY will receive the Camberwell, Mary-
la-Bonne, and Kimpton (Hampshire) Addresses on
Monday, at one o'clock, at Brandenburgh House.
The Kimpton Address will be presented by the Mi-
nister of that town and a deputation of the inha-
bitants. Her MAJESTY will not come to town on
Monday.
Yesterday morning a courier from Milan arrived
at Brandenburgh House. He was the bearer of dis-
patches to her MAJESTY. He also brought letters to
Mr. Alderman WOOD, from his son. These letters
are said to contain very important information.
The QUEEN does not now enter the House of
Peers'on her coming to Westminster, but continues
in the apartment appropriated for her MAJESTY'S re-
tiring-room, until her return to St. James's-square.
Thursday, at four o'clock, her MAJESTY WES
pleased to receive the Address of the Gospel Church
in the town of Portsea, under the Ministry of the
Rev. ISAAC CARTER, which Address was presented
by the said Minister and three of the members of the
said Church, when her MAJESTY was pleased to re-
turn the following most gracious Answer :
" I accept, with unfeigned complacency, this valuable tribute
of regard from a pious congregation of Christians, called the
Gospel Church, in the town of Portaea.
" The judgments of GOD are inscrutable, but mercy and
goodness, which to our gross perceptions are sometimes invisi-
ble in their commencement, always palpably characterise their
ultimate results. From the dark ways of Paovtoenor often
issues a light, which convinces the understanding that the At..
KIWITI is not an indifferent spectator of human affairs, but that
he notes the most minute deviations from individual rectitude,
and that he weighs nations in the balance of righteousness.
" The proceedings of my persecutors are in direct opposition
to that soft spirit which Christianity so affectionately breathes,
and to those gentle virtues which it so earnestly recommends.
I have assiduously laboured to Inhale that spirit, and to culti-
vate those virtues, in which I am convinced that I shall have
an accession to my happiness in the prosperous, and a diminu-
tion of my misery in the adverse hour. They will, indeed, be
my support in all changes, and my comfort in all circumstances ;
nor shall I cease to find them pleasurable when all other plea-
sure fades from the view, or palls upon the sense."
