he went away the evening before for his
country seal at Ktsec. The Minister Of
the Kingdom OF Hanover, alexander
Count Hardenburg) followed his example,
and also absented himself so that the
Princess was obliged TO alight at pub

observed the strictest incognito, as the
Court Gazette this day announces, the
Princess, however, paid a visit to tie
Empress. She will go away tomorrow,
and travel through Lay back, Trieste, and
Venice, on her return to- her beautiful

the inhabitants of Como were not very
serious. These quarrels, indeed, are al
tributed to the jealousy OF some hus-

are the reasons which have dissuaded the
princess from her projected journey to
Paris, and thence, with all her attendants,
10 England but it is now again asserted,
that she will make an excursion into Per-
STA i'm the course ofthe year.
