611. t • •
His Majesty's departure has been postponed to the
29th of this month, as his Majesty is not yet saffici-
end). recovered to undergo the fatigues of so long a
journey. The weather here is yet fine for.4the season
of the year, but it is feared that rain will succeed and
render the roads very bad.
His Majesty, it is said, had yesterday a slight
return of pain, which prevented his dining with
the members of his august family. His Majesty, ac-
cording to the reports in the city, hsd invited their.
Highnesses the Dukes and Duchesses ofCumberlaod and
Cambridge and their children, the Landgravine of,
Hesse Homburg, the Dukes of Brunswick, &c. to dine'
with 'him
His Majesty resides in his apartangots, where none
are allowed to enter, except the members of the Royal
Family, and Ministers of State, anti the English at-
tendants. The avenue leading from Herrenh:usen to
the city seems deserted in comparison to.the first days
after his Majesty's arrival. His Majesty's continued
absence from the various exhibitions. and atnusemints
has rendered them dull.
The exact day of his Majesty's departure cannot be;
Imown, for it depends upon the state of his Majesty's.
health. Monday has been fixed upon,: het mine cams
be certain. It is4niended to procemk.by easy stages,;
so as to be eleven days upon the road. On the first
Might the King is to rest at Rothenkirche, and the se-
load in Minden. The route afterwards is to continee
rough Coblents, Cologne, Aix-la-Chapelle, Liege,
'and Brussels.
Prince Metternich arrived here on the 20. b, in the
petting, and on the'following day he was presented
to his Majesty by Count Munster, the Hanoverian
Minister for 'Foreign Affairs. The King, it is so-1
ported, was not able to receive the Prince otherwise'
than as an invalid, seated in an easy chair with his
leg stretched out on a couch. The Hanoverian news-
paper (a paper which is at least demi-official) states
that Prince Metternich has come as being specially de-
puted by the Emperor of Austria to congratulate his
Majesty on his arrival in his Continental dominions.
That may partly be the object of his visit, but nobody
believes that this great diplomatic character came
here for nothing more, particularly while one of the
Imperial family, Prince Ferdinand, is here, deputed
specially for that purpose. Prince Metternich and the
Marquess of Londonderry visit each other daily.—
Coant Lieven has not yet arrived, although the Countess
came to Hanover on Sunday. The protracted absence
of the Count, united nith some of the late declarations
of Russia, gives cruse of surmises unfavourable to the
peace of Europe. The coffee-house politicians here
think that it looks as if Russia was determined to
wage war with the Turks without the consent of
Austria and of England. England, they say, will
then wage war with RussieFdaud they look forward
to the occupation of Hanover by the troops of Prin.-
sia as a matter of colirsa.A mention this merely as the
chit-chat of the place.
Letters are said to have been received here from

I have this moment inquired after his Majesty's'
health at the Palace, and have been informe,l that his
Majoity slept well during the night, and that be finds
himself quite well. The various members of the Royal
Family are to dine with his Majesty, and in the even-
ing there is to be a drawing•room. His 3lajesty i4not
expected to leave the Palace to-day. It is said, that
in the evening, the middle classes, or as thry are
called here, the burghers. intend to give his Majesty
a serenade or torch music, similar to that which was
before given by the officers.

The Doke of York will, it is expected, attend the
meeting of the Lords Justices at the Cock Pit, on
Thursday next, and afterwards leave London immedi-
ately, on a visit to the Marquess of Hertford,at Hatfield.

A general meeting of the Guildry Incorporation of
Perth, was held on the 6th inst., when a vote of thanks
was unanimously voted to Joseph Hume, Esq. M.P. for
his indefatigable and meritorious conduct in the
House of Commons. Mr. Hume, after returning his
acknowledgments for the respect shown him, made the
following observation :—" The present self-electing
Royal Burgh system is of that nature, containing in
itself the seeds of misrule and injustice; and I have
only been acting a consistent part in my continued
exertions to have it abolished, and the choice of the
Councils given to the people whose rights and interests I
they have to watch over."--(Glargoto Chronicle.)
ROTALTT AND PLUM TM/TH.—ln the summer of
July, 1757, the Empress Maria Theresa was walking in
the Imperial Gardens at Schaeabrann, reading some pa-
pers; at the end of an avenge she perceived a hoary
veteran, wbo had been placed there as ematinel, fast
.asleep. Sbe gave him a gentle tap with the roll of pa-
pers, and having awoke bhp. she desired him to keep
his eyes open, for fear of the punishment incurred by
soldiers who sleep on duty. The old veteran, unaccus-
tomed to compliments, thanked her in the best manner
bewail', and she then asked him " if he knew the Em-
press?" He replied, that" he bad seen her at !poprock
some HI or 17 years ago, bat that he had not seen her
slate." " Well," said Maria Theresa, "I am the Ear
