THE ROYAL MARRIAGE.

Mach conversation and conjecture are, occasioned I
by the statements afloat respecting the -Marriage of
the Duke of Clarence to Miss Wykeham. 'We have
our doubts on the accuracy of most of these 'Keit/tits,
but it is a part of our business to lay these particu-
lars before the Reader. At present, the only for-
mal progress we hear of towards the Marriage is
that—the Duke of Clarence has given the legal no.
lice of his intention to the Privy Council. The law
allows the Council a full year to consider 'of such i
proposition from a Member of the Royal Fainilk,..
after which, if 'it be not objected- to, the Marriage
may take place; or the assent of Parliament viity as-
thutise a marrisge,withiti this petiOd, notwithstanding
the hesitation of the Council. Sidi, itorleistand.
is the Lsw ; but it is not probable, that *Pa thadteht
would act. in such a cast., alienist the wishes of ails
senior members of the Royal Family, nor is it likely,
considering the harmony which now happily prevails
in that family, that Pieliarnesit should be appetite('
to upon such a subject. What are the present per.
I sonal inclinations of the Queen and Prince Regent
we are unable to say, but we learn front good autho.l
rity, that her Majesty has been much aveise from thel
marriage of the Duke with a subject, aud, that the
Prince Regent has endeavoured, though with less
anziety, to dissuade his Royal Brother from it.
Miss Wykeham, the Lady in question, is 28 years
of age, of a countenance prepossessing, though not
highly distinguished for beauty, of a good figure, end
a must ingenuous disposition. tine is in posses.siort of
between 17 and 18,0001. a year, landed property,
