TEE KING'S DINNER.—The king entertained a very large party to
dinner on-Thursday evening. His Majesty made an admirable speech on: the subject of the Coronation, remarking, that as it appeared to be the wish of the people that the ceremony should be performed, he cer- tainly had made no objection to it ; but that as to its adding aapartiele to his sense of obligation to rule the nation according to law, and to pro- tect the rights and interests of every class of his subjects, he hoped no prince of the House of Hanover would ever require any such stimulant. His opinion was, that it a coronation was at all necessary, it Should take place immediately after the accession of -the sovereign to the throne. His-Majesty observed, that he had now been Icing for More than a year; and as he had sought, so he should ever centinue to seek, the peace and happiness of the people over whom it was his duty to preside.--Gloae.
