the natives of Batavia be 'e more so.

The 10th Light Dragoons are to change their unite
form previous to their coming into London to take
ithe town duty. :Their new dress will be red, instead
lof blue; and instead of blue furniture to their horses,
scarlet trappings with rich gold lace. The whole
will be much more splendid than their present equip.
ment. The PRINCE REGENT has devoted much of his
time and taste to the study of the new uniform,—
The_loth Regirapnt is to be given to the Marquis
WELLINGTON; as it is not considered right, now that
the PRINCE exercises the functions of royalty, that
he should continue to be the Colonel of a regiment.
We could name many Princes whom nature seems
to have intended for Tailors, and whose abilities,
appear to extend no farther than the trimming of a
coat, or the adjustment of a military cap ; but it is
not often we can witness the spectacle of a Monarch
actually wielding a goose, or handling the needle.—
Such a one, however, was presented by JAMES
of Scotland, who, having in his rage torn the charter
of the Earl of Morrow, was forced by his Nobles
to stitch it together again, which operation he actu.
ally performed while seated on his Throne, and ar.
rayed in all the pomp of his kingly robes !
It might he a useful employment to draw a parallel-
betwixt a certain Prince,-now living, and CHARLES
11. But, however close the likeness might he found
in some respects, as in profusion, love of pleasure,
'meanness of spirit, that would betray his former
friends, and accept of a bribe from Ms former ene-
mies : still then will be found one strong point of
difference: CHARLES, with all, his faults, possessed
one virtue:—lle respected kis trife—aad, though he
had not the virtue to imitate her example, he had
Ithe goodness to pity her mistortahee, sad -honour
her character.

1 It k curious to trace back the origin of those situ.
' ations in the Royal Household, and to mark the pri-
mary insignificance of places, which now, it seems,
I • p a pear of such vital importance to the preservation.
1 of the Constitution! The Chamberlain was the officer
who was entrusted with the care of the lodging of
his master's family. As this officer was entrusted
with whatever required to be locked up in the house,
for the future service of the household, he s ,oms on
this nccount to have become the keeper of th , ward-
robe; and, at a subsequent period, when the Crown
rents were paid in money, the King's treasurer. In
a similar way, these great Officers of the King's
household rose to the high consideration we see they
have attained in modern times, when, from the super-
intendence of the King's private concerns, their au-
thority was extended to the direction and manage•
ment of the kingdom !
Sir R. Coancre has obtained an order from the
Court of Chancery to try an issue, at the next
Shrewsbury Assizes, to ascertain his claim to an estate
of 100,0001. per annum ; he at present labours itt
the East India warehouses for about a guinea pee
week.
Yesterday morning, about tw'elve o'clock, a fine
boy, seven years of age, fell from a barge near Vaux-
hall-bridge, and was unfortunately drowned, though
not more than ten yards from the shore. The body
was not found at a late hour last night.
