The Post this morning mentions a prevalent rumour that the

Duke of Sussex is soon to be publicly married to Lady Cecilia Underwood, with the consent of her Majesty in Council ; and that a message will be sent to the house of Commons recommending an addition to his Royal Highness's income. The sum mentioned is 6,0001. The Morning Post hopes that, under the very peculiar circumstances of the case, the "preposterous grant" will be "indignantly and contemptuously re- jected."
