THE KING.

The moment the KING presented himself at the
Theatre in Brussels, the whole audience rose with
nor accord,'nd the orchestra struck up GOD save the
go while his MAJESTY bowed repeatedly in ac-
inowkdgment of their attention. This was the first
time since his MEJarria arrival that the Belgians
proved themselves worthy of his presence. His MA..
Jury appeared in excellent health and spit its. He
was dressed in the uniform of a Field Marshal, and
yore the insignia of a Belgian Order, as did also the
Duke of WELLINGTON, who sat with the Marquis of
LONDONDERRY in a compartment under the Royal
caavy, and detached from the other distinguished
personages who were in attendance. His Excellency
the British Ambassador sat behind the chair of his
Royal blaster, attended by the Officers of his House-
hold; and the personal suite of his Belgian MAJESTY
eras exceedingly brilliant. The dress of the Quasi(
iras very much admired for the taste and richness it
displayed. Her MAJESTY wore a red colour satin
turban, the folds of which were confined by diamonds
of the purest water, disposed in fan itul wreaths, and
a dress of the same costly description enhanced the
light drapery in which her MAJESTY was attired.
The dress of Lady Czdincaary and her daughters
was also very splendid. They sat in his Excellency's
box, which was occupied by some English personages
of the first distinction, among whom were the Mar-
quis of CONYNGHAM, Mr. Fosrms (our Ambassador
at Copenhagen) and his Lady, Lord CLANWI&LiAMI
Sir ANDREW BA REAR!), &c.

The Marquis of CONYNGHAM, while sitting in the
Ambassador's box, related ass anecdote that made
those around him laugh heartily :—He said that while
travelling in the Royal carriage from Calais to Lisle,
the people in many places mistook him for the Kiwo,
and incessantly cried out, Vine le Rei d'Angkterre,
Making, at the same time, a profound obeisance. The
Noble Marquis felt quite embarrassed at having thus
involuntarily usurped the honours of his SOVIRSION,
and was anions to hide himself from the acclaiming
multitude. However, to do this, he was subjected to
no slight inconvenience ; for, being of more than or-
dinary stature, he found k necessary to coil up his
frame in a corner of the carriage, and to hold his head
close to his knees, a posture which his Lordship re-
punted as by no means pleasant on a long journey.
His MAJESTY enjoyed 'the scene exceedingly, and
rallied the Marquis on the aukward predicament in
which he found himself. a What, CONYNOHAM,"
said his MAJESTY, " have you not yet learned to play
the King ? How to them, man, as I would I" Those
who have seen his MAJESTY make a bow, will readily
admit that be could not have imposed upon the Noble
Marquis an injunction less likely to be obeyed.

Wednesday, the Marquis of LowDomplaay and
Lard SIDMOUTU landed at Dover from the Lord Sid-
math passage vessel, wader a salute from the Heights
battery; and nest morning proceeded to visit Lord
Livia:cos, at Warner Castle.

The Admiralty yacht has been dispatched to Calais-
for the coeveyance of the Prince's AUGUSTA to Eng-
land from the Continent, where she has been for some
time OA a visit to her Royal relative&
The Duchess of Dzvossntan, after having had
the honour of being one of she very select party in-
vited by the King of the NETSIBRLANDS to the dinner
area by his MAJESTY to the King Of ENGLAND, pre-
pared to leave Brussels on her return to England.

Advices have been received from Gibraltar to the
14th ultimo. The superior Board of Health of the
province of Cadiz made it known on the 6th, that not
ally the best state of health was enjoyed in that city
ad Xeres, but that eight cases at Port St. Mary's,
which at fist had been held suspicious, were, after
he closest investigation, ascertained to be merely such
as usually occur at this season of the year; whence
the Board draws the conclusions, that the whole pro.
hate is perfectly healthy.

Private accounts have been received from Madrid
to the 21st ult. Tranquillity generally prevailed in
the Spanish capital up to that slate. The Captain-
General had, it seems, conducted himself with great
vigour, and bad organized a new Military Police,
askki day and night paraded through the city in va-
rious directions, dispersing such portions of the po-
pulace as ventured to collect together, and even en-
tering several public and private houses to disperse
dam who were supposed to be disaffected. One ad-
nice father mentions, that the Captain-General bad
lased several Proclamations to the Municipal Autho-
rr.itims and to the citizens, expressing his determine-
LA at all'hatards, to prevent distinbancer by the
punishment of persons disposed to act is hos►
why to the law.
Extract of a letter, dated Rosario de Cucuta, lane
24:=" Some of the more sensible part of Congress,
amongst whom are Penalver, Dr. Gall, Castillo, San-
" Maria, lita are bringing in a taw to fund the na-
tional debt, by sinking a certain proportion of the
duties. This plan would not only provide for the
payment of the interest, but leave an accumulating
surplus that would enable the Government to pay off
the principal in a very short time."
