NINO'S POk THE CON-
, TINENT. •
•
It is not surprising that the foreign journals contain
confused accounts of the intended movements of the King
of England, when our own are contradictory and doubt-
ful. His Majesty, we find, after all, is to embark pro-
bably on Monday, and at none of the places that bad
been previously supposed. He is now intending to
embark at Ramsgate ; and a communication to this
effect, has, it is understood, been made to the Mayor
of that town, by the Earl of Liverpool. Previous to
his embarkation, it is reported. he is to dine with Sir
William Curtis, the Pilot who weathered the storm, at
his villa near Ramsgate.
The place at which the King will land, is as much
a matter of dispute as that of his Majesty's embarks-
tion. Prom the arrival of the Duke de Chatre at
Calais, to honour his Majesty's reception, and from
other indications, it appeared more than probable that
the King intended to land at Calais. One of the
papers of this morning, which aims at being distin-
gnished for its Court intelligence, accordingly asserts,
that Calais is the first place on the Continent that
will be honoured with his Majesty's feet. The Morn-
ing Poet of to-day, however, alfirms, that his Majesty
embarks not for Calais, as it bad been reported, but
La Ostend.

TIL

What is still more amusing than all we have hi-
therto stated, is the controversy that prevails about the
time of his Majesty's departure. The Times and The
New Times allege that the King left town on Satur-
day morning for Ramsgate ; The Morning Chronicle,
The Morning Post, and The Morning Herald state
that his Majesty was to leave town to-day. How came
the important circumstance of his Majesty's departure
from the metropolis of his kingdom; to have been
managed so as to be a matter of mystery and doubt ?
" They manage these matters very differently in" Ire-
land. In that country all his Majesty's movements
courted the utmost publicity and popularity ; in this,
the utmost privacy. If we did not know by accidental
means the route and objects of his Majesty's journey, it
might be thought and said theKiag was going on a Secret
Expedition. In fact any of the Secret Ezpeditions under-
taken during either of the two last wars, were, com-
pared with this, an affair of very general notoriety.
As the editor of the Hampshire Telegraph may be
better acquainted, for aught we know, with his Majesty's
movements than any of the editors of the London pa-
pers, we give the following particulars relative to his
Majesty's departure for the Continent, from that jour-
nal, under the date of Saturday evening:—
" This morning, at day-light, the Royal squadron,
under Commodore the lion. Sir Charles Paget (which
returned to Spitbead from Dunlesry, on Monday last),
sailed for Ramsgate, at which place his Majesty
will embark on Monday next, and proceed to the Con-
tinent, on a tour of about six weeks. The Admiralty
yacht bar been ordered to join the Royal squadron, as,
should the weather permit, it is his Majesty's inten-
tion to land by her either at Antwerp or Ostend. His
Majesty, we understand, will travel alder the title of
Count Lunenburgh. The Royal squadron, which con-
sists of the Royal George, Active, Liffey, Lee, Hind,
and Camellon, will return to Spithead, after his Ma-
jesty's debarkation, and proceed to Calais, to escort
his Majesty to England again, in about five weeks.—
The Royal Sovereign and Male Rom leak% hal/
arrived at Deptford, and are preparing to be laid up..,
We have been favoured with the following sketch
of the preparations making at Hanover for the recep.
Lion of his Majesty, contained in a letter received here
(Portsmouth) this morning:—
" Ha:4mm, SEPT. 13.—1 t is now certain the King
will arrive here about the later end of the month;
every preparation possible is making for a suitable re-
ception : the troops will shortly begin to assemble, the
greater part will go into quarters and cantonments,
and the remainder will encamp about the city. One
brigade of Foot Artillery comes from Stade ; and the
Horse Artillery from Waunstorf, under the command
of Major Cleeves, will go into cantonments near the
Palace of Herrenhausen ; a very great number will be
quartered in the city, which is undergoing many inn
provements. All the hotels and lodging-houses are
fitting up in great style. Every instant we expect the
arrival of Count Munster, to give further directions.
The King will make his public entry into the city
through Stein (stone) Door, which is now preparing in j
a most superb and beautiful manner. All the persons
in the civil departments are very busy getting ready
their particular dresses ; and every class is well em-
ployed, and anticipating with sincere joy the sight of
a beloved Monarch visiting the kingdom of his an-
cestors. The whole place will be brilliantly illuminated
several nights, and the States have voted 6,000 dollars
(1,0001.) for fire-works the first night only.
" The King will be, I believe, at his summer resi-
dence at the Palace of Herrenbaasen, about a mile and
a quarter from the city, the road leading to which is
through the most beautiful avenue of the finest tall
elm trees in Europe."
The following, it is understood, is the route which
his Majesty will take from Calais to Dusseldorf:—
&Ares. St. Omer, Cassel, Baines), Lille, Tourney,
Leuze, Atb, Bngheid, Halle, Brussels, Genappe,
Namur, Huy, Choquies, Lelge, Aix la Chappell.,
Jailers, Furth, Neuss, Dusseldorf.
According to the reports from the country and

pital of Hanover, received at Hamburgh, the ixpectatila
of his Majesty's visit has produced a very lively feel-
ing. The inhabitants, excited by the description of
the King's visit to Ireland, promised themselves, that
even that portion of their fellow subjects should not
surpass them in enthusiasm'. On every route, where his
Majesty's presence is even a probable event, extensive
preparations are making for his reception.

In the obience of Sir Robert Wilson, we could have
wished not to enter on the subject oWs removal from
lit
the service ;' a measnte h his juAy produced such
a sensation throughout contitey.
We gave on Friday, om Ifie Times, a narrative
of the circumstances which led to the dismissal of
this gallantUfficer, communicated by one of their cor-
respondents, "as the accredited explanation in the
Military and Ministerial circles," stating at the time
that we could not take it upon us to say how far it
might, or might not be correct. We have since learnt
(and the quarter from which we derive our informa-
tion induces us to place much reliance on it) that that
narrative is materially incorrect.
We understand that Sir Robert Wilson rode up to
Captain Oakes at Cumberland-gase, and entreated him
to prevent the Guards from firing on Cie people ; that
Captain Oakes did not know Sir Robert Wilson, but
desired him to go about his business—he knew his
duty, and would perform it; and the men also knew
theirs ;—and that this was literally all that passed.
There was nothing personal, and no reference was
made by Captain Oakes to the other officers of his re.l
giment, as to a challenge. Captain Oakes was sent '
for by Sir Herbert Taylor, who told him that it was
Sir Robert Wilson who had spoken to him while on
duty. and desired him, by command of the Duke of
York. so write down an accurate account of the words
spoken, which he did. Sir Herbert then wrote to the
commanding officer of the regiment. desiring him to
make enquiries among the privates whether Sir Robert
Wilson had spoken to any of them. This was done,
and a Report made which was submitted to the King,
and without any inquiry in the presence of Sir Robert
Wilson, he was dismissed the service

Dublin.

RESURRECTIONII.—Yesterday, Hall, the officer, at
Union-hall, discovered human bodies and skulls re-

cently buried in waste ground adjoining the King's
Bench wall and Borough-road, which were, by order
of the Magistrates, removed to the burial ground of
St. George, near the Bricklayer's Arms. It is really
shameful in private Anatomists not to take better care
in ilieposing of the relics after the operations are per-
formed, instead of which the bones are scarcely co-
vered with clay, and therefore subject to be disturbed
by dogs, pigs, or otherwise.
The effects of the hurricane, stated in our last, to
have visited Seddlescomb and Brede, were not con-

fined to those places; other Hop Plantations in the
neighbourhood were equally affected by its violence;
but as the Hops were in a state for picking, no great
injury was sustained ; and especially as the expense
of Pole-pulling, from the fallen state of the Poles,
must have been unnecessary. This hurricane was ac-
companied by torrents of rain, and proved much more
terrific on the premises of Mr. Adds, than appeared
our representation of it last week.

Iruterday se'nnight Mrs. Southey, wife of a master
biackimith, at Pellbridge, near East Grinsted, cut her
throat in a dreadful manner, with a penknife. Sur-
dcal assistance was called in, but the wound was too
esperate to admit of cure, and she died on Wednesday.
On Friday an inquisition was held on view of the body,
before our Coroner, 0. Owynne, Esq., when the Jury
from the evidence given, returned a verdict ofinsanity.
In the cue of Mr. H. Palmer. under the head of
" Police, Union-Hall," in our paper of Saturday last, it
is stated, among other matter, that " Sir T. Champneys
nest day sent Mr. Park a note, acknowledging to haw
received from him 150/.: Mr. Park said he showed
.this note to the defendant, who desired him not to send
the money, but to give him the note, and he would
settle the Shatter with Sir Thomas Champneys. Mr.
Park, however, could sot say whether or not Sir Tho•I
Mat had ever received the money."
This statement which we copied from a morning
paper, is said to be incorrect, and the following alter-
ation has been requested to be made in it :-...
' Sir Thomas Champneys wrote next day again to M r.
Park, requesting Ise would send him 1301. which note
lir. Park showed to the defendant, who desired hien
not to send the money, as he (the defendant) would
settle the matter with Sir Thomas Champney. Sir
Thomas Champneys did lot send Mr. Park any ac-
Imemleigements for 150I.Pbt, indeed, any other sum
of mosey ; nor did Mr. Palk ever see the ackowledr
meat in question, until he saw it in the possession of
the defendant, who informed him that he bad ad-
vanced the money to Sir Thomas, and that he bad takes
the acknowledgment in his (Mr. Park's) name as a
kasesuity:

-THE DUKE Of WEIAINOWN.
• The AllgemeineZertustr %Atte 13th instant, (Weise
a private letter dated from the Lower Rhine, which
says—" The reception which the Duke of Wellington
experienced on his last visit to the Netherlands was not
upon the wbok such as that. Commander was entitled
to expect from a people who are so much indebted to
him, and whose Sovereigh has bestowed on him the
most flattering marks of his favour. It is not easy to
determine to what cause this want of love and respect
fir a man so highly meritorious with regard to the king-
dom of the Netherlands ought to he ascribed, but the
truth will perhaps be approximated if we consider it to
arise from a certain national jealousy, which cannot
endure, since the Goverment is consolidated, and not
the slightest appearance of danger from any external
enemy remains, that the defensive forces of the state
should still he placed under the inspection and contras!
of a foreigner. From similar motives we must endea-
vour to account for the conduct of the inhabitants of
Liege,when the Duke honoured that town with his pre-
sence, and which was in particular on the 16th of thii
month (August), when his Grace visited the Theatre.
As the assurance had been given, that not only the
British Commander, but that the Prince of Orange would
also be present at the representation of the evening, the
managers of the theatre had prepared two boles, • and
made all suitable arrangements for the reception of
these illustrious personages. The Duke of Welliwg-
ton appeared, accompanied by a lady and a gentleman ;
and as soon as he was known to be present, the orches-
tra struck up the air of " Marlborough s'en va-t-en
guerra,' &c., in which a hundred voices in the pit joined.
This hymn was not, however, allowed to be sung qui-
etly. Some disorderly persons studied to interrupt it by
cat-calls and various unharmonious sounds, by no means

indicative of approbation. The Duke of Wellington
was so offended by the continued expression of this un-
friendly disposition, which a great part of the public
then present manifested, that during the whole perform-
ance he never showed himself in the front of the box,
and towards the end of the play went away as little no-
ticed as he bad entered. The Prince of Orange did not
come to the theatre, and it is not known why the people
of Leige were deprived of the opportunity of showing
the respect they entertain for this generally beloved
Prince."
