THE KING.

' Bynum, SEPT. 28.—His Majesty departed from
Lille for Brussels on Thursday morning, at ten
o'clock. The last stage to the latter city he was
drawn by six horses of the King of the Netherlands,
attended by an escort of Hussars. His Majesty im-
mediately proceeded to the house of Lord Clancat ty,

. .
situate in the Park, where the Duke of Wellington,
the Marquess of Londonderry and Conyngbans, and
Sir B. Bloomfield were waiting to receive him. A
body of infantry were drawn up before the Ambas-
sador's house, with the State band of music, which
struck up on his Majesty's arrival the national anthem
of " God save the King." His Majesty was dressed
in a plain dark brown coat, and appeared to be in
good health and spirits. He was well received by the
people. A number of English Gentlemen had placed
themselves near the entrance to the Ambassador's

house, by whom the King was enthusiastically greeted.
His Majesty appeared highly gratified with this mark
of attention, and acknowledged it with his usual
graciousness. About a quarter of an boor after his
arrival the King of the Netherlands came in his coach
drawn by six horses, escorted by a body guard, to
congratulate him on his arrival. His Majesty did not
leave Lord Claocarty's house that evening, bat par-
took of a fete prepared for him there, with a select
party. The small theatre at the front of the house,
and some few houses in the neighbourhood. as well as
the great theatre. were illuminated. On Friday his
Majesty visited the theatre; and Saturday, we under-
stand, was fixed for his visit to the field of Waterloo.
accompanied by the Duke of Wellington. He was also
to be gratified with a review of the Belgian troops at
Brussels. Monday morning was fixed for his depar-
ture for Hanover.

His Majesty's style of travelling, with the exception
of an escort, is more in the fashion of an English
Nobleman than in the splendour of a British Monarch.
The King of France had ordered relays of cavalry to
escort our King through that country, but bis Ma-
jesty declined that mark of respect.
SEPT. 29.—11 is Britannic Majesty, in one of the
Court carriages, drawn by six horses, went yesterday
to the Palace of harken, at half-past four o'clock.—
Lord Clanearty followed in another carriage. There
was a grand dinner, and then a play. When his Ma-
jesty returned to Brussels the Allee Verte was illumi-
nated. This evening his Majesty will be present at
the representation of the Bajaderes, at the Theatre
Royal. To-morrow his Majesty will visit the fi •Id of
Waterloo, with the Duke of Wellington, the hero of
that memorable day.
SEPT. 30.—The representation at the Great Theatre,
yesterday evening, will be memorable in our theatri-
cal annals. His Britannic Majesty, the King, and all
the Royal Family, the Duke of Wellington, the Mar-
guess of Londonderry, a great number of the illus-
trious strangers, as well as an immense crowd of spec-
tators, were present, and the Theatre was overflowed.
The spert•ucle was worthy of such an assembly.
The King of England, who was to depart to-day,
after viewing the field of Waterloo will remain bete;
his departure is fixed for to-morrow, at 8 o'clock, a. m.

lingbroke, Chamberlains of his Britannic Majesty,

to the Uermanic Diet, has set off for Bruessels, where

MASSACRII O/—THE ROTAL TERTLE.REtrad Of a
letter from Paris, Oct. I.—" His Majesty Louis XVIII.
resolving to entertain his Rritatinic Majesty with
what he fancied be was most fond, sent for a quan-
tity of live turtle to London, and a person came over
to feed them. They were getting remarkably fine, and
fit for a Royal feast, when the news arrived that
George IV, did not intend to visit Paris—an immediate
suspension of all preparations took place, and the turtle
were doomed to an watinsely fate. the warrant for their
execution mas signed late Thursday evening, and on Fri-
day they were weltering in their blood ! A French
poet of the Boulevards, has, we understand, written a
ost pathetic Elegy, in which the dying turtles are
I.l.ide to lament their bard fate, in not serving for arn
past to Neptune, for so they designate die Monarch who
sways the trident of the seas.
REMARLABLE DEATH OF A Honsx.—On Saturday
week, a draught horse, the property of Mr. James
Fitzsimons, of Whitehaven. suddenly became danger•
may ill, and on the succeeding day died in great
agony, notwithstanding every effort being used to pro-
mote its recovery. The body of the horse bas
been opened, and in the straight gut a solid ball
was found, • measuring above twelve inches in circum-
ference, and weighing somewhat more than 18 ounces,
which appear to be the immediate cause of death.—
The ball has been-cut in two, aid submitted to the in-
spection of a scientific person, and found to consist
of a cemented mass of excrement, nearly as bard
as a stone. Until Saturday the horse continued
in excellent condition, and was allowed to be one of the
finest animals for strength and bone in this country.
