a dark cloth pellice, with large gold 

 clasps, and a cap in the Prussian 

 hussar style, of violet and green 

 satin, with a green i'eather, Tlie 

 Jason and the Rosaria lay at an- 

 chor aVjout three miles from shore 

 with their j'ards manned ; and on 

 her royal highness's going on 

 board, the royal standard was hoist- 

 ed. From the barge her royal high- 

 ness repeatedly kissed her hand to 

 the female spectators, who in re- 

 turn waved their handkerchiefs. 

 The Jason sailed about seven 

 o'clock in the evening. Numbers 

 in carriages, on horseinack, and on 

 foot, came from Worthing and the 

 vicinity to see the Princess dtpart. 



10. His royal highness held a 

 chapter of the order of the garter. 

 The knights present were the 

 Dukes of York, Clarence, and 

 Cambridge; the Earls of Chatham 

 and Westmoreland ; the Duke of 

 Beaufort, the Marquis of Hert- 

 ford, the Earl of Liverpool, and 

 Viscount Castlereagh. 



The procession was made in the 

 usual form ; and the knights being 

 seated, the chancellor read a new 

 statute for declaring his most Ca- 

 tholic Majesty, Ferdinand VII. 

 King of Spain, elected a knight of 

 the order, and his Majesty was de- 

 clared elected accordingly. 



The chancellor then signified to 

 the chapter the Prince Regent's 

 pleasure, in the name of the Sove- 

 reign, that a lineal descendant of 

 the late Sovereign King George the 

 Second, may, in virtue of the sta- 

 tute in that behalf, be elected a 

 knight of the order. The suffrages 

 were then taken by the chancellor, 

 and presented to the Prince Re- 

 gent, and by his royal highness's 

 command, his royal highness Wil- 

 liam Frederick, Prince of Orange 



and Nasjau, Prince Sovereign of 

 the Netherlands, was elected a 

 knight of the order. His royal 

 highness was declared elected ac- 

 cordingly. 



The knights being called over by 

 garter king of arms, the procession 

 returned to the private apartment 

 of the Prince Regent. 



A solemn ceremony took place 

 in a Roman Catholic chajjcl at 

 Clonmel, in Ireland, which, from 

 the interest of the circumstance, 

 was crowded to excess. It was 

 the acceptance of the white veil, 

 in the Society of tiie Presentation 

 Convent, by a Miss Fanning, of 

 Waterford, 17 years of age, with a 

 very respectable fortune. All the 

 gentry of the town and neighbour-

11. Acountry paper states, that 

 R. Dahsey, of Clater-park, Esq. 

 and Dr. Matthews, of Belmont, 

 both in the county of Hereford, 

 have, in consequence of the low 

 prices of grain of all descriptions, 

 reduced the rents of their estates 

 one-third. 



On the late rent-day atStanford- 

 hall, Leicestershire, Mr. Vere 

 Dashwood requested his tenants 

 might be informed, that although 

 he had given notice of an advance 

 in their rents, in consideration of 

 the change in political affairs, he

Though an order had been sent 

 from the Secretary of State's Office 

 for the discontinuance of the fair 

 in Hyde-park, and for the removal 

 of the booths, it had not been duly
