The King, wve are happy to say, is recovered from his late indispositioni, but which has left a weakncss in his lees, which was the cause of the dxawving.l.gom being further postponedl to the 20ih inistant .-Cout, IAewsman. Y-sterday the Lord Miayor gave a grand dinner to the Judges, Aldermen, Sheriffs, Sengean's at Lawv, &ce., after atten:iing dimine service at St. Paul's Cathedral. The Josrrnal des Debats uf Wtrednlesday conlains a lono' iwarm, and eloquent eulhgy oni her Grace the lace fiuclhets' of Devonshire, whose (deatlh at Rome we announced about a month ato. lIer loss to sagiety and the arts is compared to that of the late Cardiinal Gonsalvi, whose tastes she slhared, whose friendship slhe enjoyed, and whose memory she was preparing to honour by a mnonumient, when she wVts caUedl to leave her own to the care and affectionate gra- titude of her surviving friends. The manners of rher Grace woul(d appear to have been extremely popular, both with the niative inhabitalits of Rome, ani nwith the foreignr- ers who visited it; the patronage which she extendeed to artists wvs constant and well directed; and tlec mode in which she eaip!oyed an income, greater thani wvhat usually is possessed by people of ranlk in the quarter whLre it wvas spent, gave her at once a character for discriminating taste and munificent liberality, li ortl.r to promote a know- edge of plact s described in ancient poetrv, she caused to be published an edlitioni of Virgil. for wb ch all the ein men t arti,ts of Italy were cmployed to make topoVrapiiical eng,ravings ; andI a translatioi of the Fif'tlh Satire of Horace, in which he gives an account of his journey from Rome to Brundisium, wvas pu')lished undler her ausiices in tile stme manner, and] with the same design. But the undertaking in vhiich a pnrtion ot' her wealth wvas cxtended to the best advantage, a::d pro"'uced the most striking leselt, vas an excavation in the Forum, which 1:d to the (liscovery of rhe purpose s,:rved by what is nowv called the roluinit oe Phocas. It is mentioned to the hlonour of hier Grace, that her bounty to charitable establislhmints kept pace wvith her patronage of the arts, and that the poor join with the ciis- ti ne :shed andi refined portioi o-f soiety in lameentinlg herloss. *Ve have to congratu'ate tie ilntelligent part of the w orltl on the appearance of another division of M. tupill's work on Eng!and-a work, distinguisbed not mnrre by variety of rescatch, an I comprehensiven ss of knowle(6e5 than by the usefulness of the subjects to which the author Ihas directed his inquiries. The last part of M. Dupim's labours wvhich we were called upon to notice, embracedl those means of internal communiiication throug,hout Great Britaini wvhich m-inister to the wvatmts and protperitv of com- inerce. The presetat treatise is devoted to the maritime outlcts of the-e several comminications; and makes, for the purpose of fully explaining tlhem, an histosical and de- scriptive tour of the island, in wlich wve have accompanied the author with deep and sel(lom varying interest atd grati- fication. WVith regard to particu'ar passages in the treatise, to wlhich wve have now been referring, the niost elaborate and exact is probably that which dlescribes the origin, pro- gress, and completion ot' the Cale(lonian Canal - anti the most anusing and instructive wilt, wve think, prove to be the cormnercial history of Liverpool and the surrounding distric!s, (Inriuf the last century. Trhe ceremony of the bapltismn of the young Princess of Orange took place at the Has-neon the 4ch inst., in the great ctiurch of ~ti. James. She wa5 christened by the names of Wilhelmina Mlaxia Sophia Augusta. Orders arc said to have been issue'l by Government for imntediatelr forwvarding to Cape Coast Castle 130 toi's of provisions, and 40 tons of ordnancestores. SOUTHAAsIrTON, May 7.-General San AMartin arrived here yesterday froum Havre,and is sojourning at the Star tiotcl. The worlkmen on the Etnn bomb, in Chathain-yard, are employed extra hours in expediting that vessel for sea. rTie same exertions are making in the otlier dock-vargs where bomnb-vessels are fitdng, from which it is inferred tthat imore active operations are in contemplation against Algiers.- lEentiLeh Gaxctte. Sir WILLt.M at CUITIs.-Letteis from this worthy Baro- net were on Friday received in town, dated Cagliari, oardinia, April 16. The worthy baronet was received by the Viceioy with disinguished horours.-J?vening paper. SAILING OF THE DrScOVERY Sni'rs.-Saturday being appointec: fbr the sailing from Deptford of the llfcla and Fnrzy, on thc voyage of discovery, every arrangement was made to facilihite that object by the superintendent of tne Dock-yard; but on Friday nigtit the Fuyg was ordered to remain until tfiis morning's tide. I'he officers and crew of the lfecla mustered on board on Friclay night, witti many friends, among whom, were several fenmales, xwho couli not be prevailed upon to depart until the last moment. At five o'clock in the uiorraiig, the anchor was raised, and the Rech swung upon the buoy with the tide, and at seven o'clock the signal for sailing was hoisted; the Conzet steam-yacht was then fasttv moored alongsile to tow her down. Captain Parry, a few minutes after seven o'clock, canic ont board in the pinnace, vith several ladies and gentlemen, who were received by the First Lieutenatnt, Alr. 'Wynn. At this moment thte river and shore presented avery animated spec- tacle; several boats filled with company, bidlding adlieu to the crew of the Heca, were visible; and uiany of the ships of war's crews wereout, celieriiir the hardy advenlturers. The final orders for getting under weigh were given at 24 minutes past seven o'clock, and a very affecting scene took pltce on board the transport; several sailors at one tine tsshed into the arrus. of sotue timsales, and, - snatching a hasty embrace, jumped into the He-'-, in a mranner thl' ninny who hare taken such tarewells-caninot forget. 'I'he C'omctgei under weigh, and proceeded, with the l,cc:a in tow, dowvn the river,l and was soot, out of sight. The crew of the Griper gave three cheers as shc passed, which was answerpd' by the flecla's crew. The- Griper is taking out the land expetlitioti, and the next intercourse of these brave men will probably be in rngions of desolation and misery. PORTSMSOUT21, May 8.-Y esteiday inornimig his Majvsty's bomb Terror, Captaini A. D. Y. Arbusb.ott, sailed for Algiers, taking despatches for Vice-Admiral Sir larry Neale, (whom she expects to find in that Bay). informing him, it is presumied, wliat has been the final determination of Ministers with resaectto the Dey of Algiers. It would appear, .t tn the nature of tlte preparations made and orlered, tiat it is nit intended to m ake ai attack upon fll- giers by an united force of ships; but if the Dey should still refuse to accede to necessary, but what may eb deemed coercive termus. at- tacks will be nightly made upon the tow-nnand defences of Algiers, by the emplovinent of bomibs and *imortar vessels. To announce- this intention,' we believe the Terror has now proceeled- and itnap_ pears probable that Capt. Arbuthnott will, in the fitst placel land at Algiers, and endeavour to bring the Dey to a sense of what is dne to the offended Government of our King, from his past conduct im.. violating the Exinouth treaty, and of the situation in which his capital vill become, by a pettinacioiis rejec-ton of all amicable 'means of, reparation. The same ternms of reconciliation, and of security for the future, will probablv be pr posed to the Beysof Tunis and Tripoli; but there is scarcely a doubt of their acquiescence. The. four bombs to be employed are-the Terror, Capt. A. D. Y. Ar. buthnott; the I,[fermal, Capt. I H. Barclay (wlho so greatly diis- tinguished hinsels in the flotilia on the Lakes of Canada); the ,Etna, Capt. Sandom; the eileor, Capt. James Scott; and three mottar vessels, to one of' which, the Fd4niuth, at Deptiord, . Lieut. Joln nM. Laws is appointedl the commaand. .'lhe last accountsfroni' Algiers'stnte, that the Algerine cruisers had all returned to that wart, telmere' t.tey bad been stripped o2 th2eir rigging, therir Thlittt taken oat, and thev sunk int port to pravent flieir iBallininsto the 'hands: of the 'English.
