EPROM Till LILTTIBIS or A PRIVA TS COIRRISPONDISSIT.,
lilacs, Nov. 4.—Yesterday his Majesty left Colby*
at an early hour, and at four o'clock arrived at Bat-
flee, a small place, about fifteen English miles hestee.
I happened to be there at the time, and there is no
true Englishman living who would not have felt the
—JlAttioligaatkaa.againee the Hem, of Orange that I
did, at peeing the total want of respect and attention
whieb was betrayed Wear& our Sovereign—the So-
.- 4renelgo of the most enlightened people and the most
extensive territory In the world. Will it be believed
that in the country of a Potentate who owes .us more
than he can ever repay—who owes us all and every
thing, his Majesty's carriage was ,dragged along by
eight wrdtched hacks, driven by eight ragged peasants,
whose ikuslid appearance was enough to excite the
disgust of all who beheld them ? But this was not
all; for 'tie jaded animals that had already gone to
the full extent of their might, were obliged to pro-
ceed all the way to this town, no horses being in readi-
ness to relieve them. The Duke of Cumberland, for-
getting that hie illustrious Brother was also his So-
vereign, sent forward some of his whiskered miniuns
by the !tortes that bad been ordered for the Royal
suite, and his Majesty's progress was delayed in conse-
gt, qaence, as well as by a trifling accident which occurred
to the carriage, from one of the springs having given
way. It was eight o'clock before his Majesty arrived
here, and opposite the hotel there were no demonstra-
tions of proper attention on the part of the Autho-
rities. There was no band—no guard of honour—
no deputation, either civil or military; in short, the
King of England was treated as if he were only one
of the plain bourgeois. Prom this presumptuous in-
difference on the part of the Belgian Government we
must infer, either that the individual who wields the
sceptre is the most ungrateful man in the universe,
or that he acts under the direct influence of the Em-
peror of Russia. The latter is the more probable
conclusion.
Buest et.s, Nov. s.—His Majesty has just arrived here
and gone to the residence of Lord Clancarty, where he
oecnpies for the night the same apartments he did before.
Ile will proceed to-morrow as far as Bruges, and thence
to Calais on the day following. Nothing has occurred
here worth noticing: the Belgians received his Majesty
on his return, precisely in the same manner as they did
when lie first made his appearance among them. The
I /*lke of Cumberland has not accompanied his Majesty
hither.
lineage, Nov. 6.—This evening his Majesty arrived
here from Brussels, and took up his abode for the night
at the Hotel de Pays Bos. There are not less than 70
English families residing in this town, and many of
them are of great respectability. Such of them as had
vehicles, drove out some distance to meet their Sove-
reign, and those who had not were seen on foot in the
suburbs of the town anxiously waiting the arrival of the
• Royal carriage. As soon as it came in view, they gave
three heady sheers in the style of their native country.
• elute, WEDNESDAY, Nov. 7, Twat me O'CLOCK.-
This mornink, on my arrival at Dunkirk, at five o'clock,
I discovered that Sir C. Stewert, our Ambassador at Pa-
ris, had come in a few minutes before, and was then
waiting at the Hotel de Mandrel., for the purpose of pay-
ing his respects to his Majesty, and of congratulating
him on his return. i also learned that tbe Duke d'An-
gonlense had gone with the same intention as far as Lisle
not knowing that his Majesty bad varied his route, and
taken a somewhat shorter one. His Royal Highness wrs
expected at Dunkirk every moment,. having been ap-
prised at Lisle that the Kin/ bad gone by the way of
Ghent and Bruges. The King of France, and those
Frenchmen who are attached to his dynasty, have ter-
wilily not forgotten bow large a debt of gtatitude they
owe to our Sovereign, and the distinguished attention
with which they have received him, forms a gratifying
contrast with the worthless conduct of their Belgian
neighbours.
THE KING'S ARRIVAL AT CALAIS.
HALF-PAST FIVII O'CLOCK.—A discharge of artillery
at the northern barrier announced, a few moments
since, that his Majesty the King of England was en-
tering the town, and the Royal carriage, escorted by a
squadron of cavalry, has just driven into the court-
yard of Deseins' Hotel, where his Majesty alighted
in excellent health and spirits. I understand that the
Duke d'Angoolerne had arrived a short time previously.
but lam not certain as to the fact. The Duke de
Chartres, however, and some of the distinguished No-
blemen of the country were at the door to receive his
Majesty, and a Guard of Honour was stationed oppo-
site to it. 1 observed Sir William Curtis among those
of his Majesty's British subjects who had come to
greet their Sovereign on his return. Immediately
after his Majesty's arrival, Lindens:et Reeve. of the
Starling cutter, w a sent off to Walmer Castle. near
Deal, with dispatches for the Eal of Liverpool. I
have just learned that his Majesty inteuds embarking
for England at tea o'clock this night. and be may
thetefore be expected on the shores QM, native coun-
try at an early hour to-morrow, the weather being ex-
tremely favourable for his passage. Sir Chas. Paget,
and the officers under him, have made all the neces-
sary arrangements for getting his Majesty on hoard in
the most comfortable manner. It is thought that his
Majesty, after coining perhaps to Margate. will pro-
ceed, by the steam-boat; up the river, as _far as Green-
wich, where he will disembark.
THE RING'S ARRIVAL. IN ENGLAND,

Ds*a, Orr. B.—Sit o'clock in the morning.—
This wonting at half-put ooe o'clock, the Royal
squadron rode into the Downs in 6ne style, the Royal ,
tkorge with a streaming pendant at her cast-head,
and seines far a-head of all the other vessels. They
all issued towards Ramsgate, but had' not proceeded
very far. whoa they retuned, sad anchored for the
