Last evening at 7 o'clock, the King left- his Palace iu-Mali all, ii'nis carriage, with four footuaen in their state liveries, scorted by a party of the Life Guards, and cced. th2rougli St. James's Parkc to the Duke of lVel-. lington'sX ?6 dirtrters Thu Duke of Yoryl also dined with tbe noble.Vake. . -: Ycsterday the Duke of York and the Priincess Augusta visited the King. The Iiord iChance.llor- had an audience of His Majesty yesterday. Though no officialnotice -has heen published,-yet from the circumstance oa Mlr. Dorset Fellowes having issued tfe usual admission tickets, we have no doubt that the-King will this day prorogue the Parliament in person, unless any suddeln illness shouidl prevent him. We bave received numbers of the Greek Chronicle,- a journal published in Romaic at Missolonghi,_down to the 29th of'March. They contain no news, but by their ge- neral tenour show that the Government is condlucted with regularitv, and that nb apprehension is entertained of a fourth camipaign, Tbe number of the 26th gives a fright- ful picture of the state of Candia. We see by the German journals, that Prince Aietternich is now at his seat of Joannisberg (on the Rhine, a little bc- low Mcntz), and that he is there receiving visits from seye- ral Ministers and Plenipotentiaries of the other German States. Is Joannisberg to he the seat of a iMinisterial con- gress on tie affairs of the Confederarioa ? I A letter from Santa Mlartha of the 12th cf Mfay, states that Commissioners from Hayti had arrived there on their way to Bogota, one of the objects of -whose mission is said to have bcen that of offering a loan of five millions of dol- lars for the service of thelRpublic of Colombia. The well- known wealth of Boyer, the President of Hayti, renders the off4r, we understand, by no means an improbable one. Boyer, who. feels far-.frona recuro against-anvfrivagi-eTV-6i France, is anxious also to sttengthen }himself by au alliance. with Colombia. VALPARAISo, Feb -lIis Iaj-sty's sbip .3fersey ar- rived yesterday from Rio Janeiro; the Datch frigate came E in also from the -river Plate, and there is a Ruissian frigate at Conception. An evening paper of' yesterday has inserted a long article,. which appeared in the Lisbon Gazette of the 4th inst. relative to the conduct of Prince Miguel, and the characterof the revolt, which was maintained under his. name from the Soth of April to the. 9th of May last. We observed this article in tlie file of Lisbon papers which wve received on Monday,. but as. ve were nlot then in the secret of its '1 having been- transmitted specially to Mr. Canning from our Ambassador Sir E. Thornton," or of its being reg5r led as a " "official documcnt," we did not think it worth the trouble of translation, or the space for insertion. Noris our opinion -much altered by the new lights with which we have been favoured by our c6tem- porary. The- opinion of his Faithful Majesty, anid the energy of the Portuguese Government, hadl been suffi- ciently manifested hy. the declarations- which they is- suied and the decided conduct which - they pursued, in queUing a-senseless Tebellioni, andt seuding on lhis travels, for improvement, tle young Prince who had absurdlv, or wickedly, placed himself at its head. . A newspaper com- ment, though, perhaps, written by a MIinister about a month afterivards, when the Prince is in France, his mo- ther and aceomplice in a convent or in exile, and his at-. tcndants in prison or disgrace, cannot be considered of much relative interest, especially when we bavy so im- portant a practical result as the convocation of -the.ancient Cortes, and perhaps a total alteration in the bases of the Posnlgauese monarchy. - We see bv an advertisemetit that a subscription is about to be raised'for the widow of the f4issionary Smith, whose tinttitely death las been a subject of such just lamenta- tion, both in and out of Parliament. Kiwo's THEAThE.-A " masked military fete" was given at this theatre last night, in commemoration of the battle of Waterloo. It was caDcd military, we presume, upon the principle of Lucus , non, Zlcendo; for there were but twb military unifornis in the room, Of other characters, however, there were plenty, the whole ofthis large theatre being absolutely crowded. The assem- blage,a'as not so, slect, but much more numerous than those which we observed at the Argyll-rooms,- the accommodation here being more extensive for an entertainment of tleis kind. .The bills pro- mised, amongst other thingsi a. game of chess, played with characters. Thefloor was chalked ac6ordingly, andate chess-men in readiness, but for some reason or other, it didnot take place. There was a bal- let danced by children belonging to the Opera House; but with this exseptior, we saw nothing to vary the present froYn anv other. His Grace the Duke of Bedfford has at length let, on building leases, the whole of the valuable land surrtounding Tavis- tock-square, so that the north and wrest sides of this Iicturesque spot will nowbe finisheda-niform with the others.

We understand that the mother of the wife of Captain Jobnstone (wblose case appeared in yesterday's T-inas) was not the daughter of Lord Omiand, but of Lord Aldborough.
