| TIE Ktxe.-A Portsmouth paper Of the 18th
says:
The sansuine hopes we INDUCED in last week,
of his Maiesty's honoring this port with visit
! ON the 7th June, will not be realised. HIS Ma
iesty has caused it to be communicated that ne
| has abandoned the intention, and it is reported
| for the same reason Zone deeply deplored by his
loyal subjects} which induced his Majesty to de-
cline his VISIT for the present to the Lord mayor
of Londou-viz. his i'll state OF health. Consider
ing his Majesty's affection for the sea, and the
enlargement for so many months OF our sailor
King from that element in which ne 80 much de-
! lights. visit of his Majesty to his heet would
greatly I'VE think contribute to restore him to
strength and health. We earnestly hope that
/ his Majesty's medical advisers will recommend
the quarter deck one OF the means to this anx-
! iously wished for end. It's surlnised that the
! King will visit the feet on its return from the
summers cruise.
/ II appears by an official communication from
Lord Melbourne, that the state OF his Majesty 8
health was the sole cause of postponing his visit
to the city, and being present at the Corporation
dinner This letter to the Lord Mayor Is dated
on tie 9TH, and states that his majesty was reuc-
tantv compelled still To defer receiving the lnv-
tation. but was influenced in so doing by no 9TH
err circumstances whatever, than the cause above
assigned; that he entirely satisfied with INC
explanation made by the Mayor as to the affair
of the illunpations. and the contradictions OF the
report as to the employment Of the City Police
on that occasion.
! Prono.i ions TO the Peerage.-The following
announcement is from provincial paper. We
! find no confirmation OF it in the latest London
Journals.
! Earl Fitzwilllam will, it is said, he created
Marquis of Rockingham, and the Marquis of
Cleveland elevated to Nukedom, and Lord Self
ton. Lord Cloncurry. Sir Francis Burdett, MIR.
Coke. of Norfolk. and Lord Kinnaird, called to
the Upper House, as Peers Of tie United King
dom.
The following announcement is official.
UhaesaiI. May a. The King has been pleas
ed to direct letters patent to be passed under the
Grea, Seal, granting the disnities Of Baron. Wis
count, and Earl of the United Kingdom OF Great
Britain and Ireland, to George Fitz Clarence,
ESQ, Colonel in the army, and the heirs male Of
his body lawfully begot,en. by the names, stiles,
Clarence. and Earl of Munster.
Lord Dolhousie. -Ihe Court Journal has the
following paragraph. Other papers speak Of the
quarrel alluded to as Of an alarming character,
but furnish no further particulars.
We have to state with regret, that we have
learned from q source which we cannot question,
that serious difference has taken place in India
between Lord William 6entinck, Governor-Ge-
neral. aud Lord Dalhouse, Captain-General OF
the Forces. Such was its extent. that the 60
vernon General deemed il his duty 10 place Lord
Dahousie under arrest. The important results
of this proceeding scarcely admit of calculation;
as the European officers have generally sided with
the COMMANDMENTS Chief and refused to attend
Lord William Benrnck's parties. The moral
influence of such conflict OF authorities. upon
India at large, may prove of a most important
nature; and we anxi0usly await further intelli
gence on this painful subject.
