ROYAL PENcnAwr.—Private letters from Naples confirm what the English papers
said some time ago, of a great attachment felt by the King of Naples for an English lady, but insurmountable objects have arisen on both sides. The lady (Miss Matilda Strachan), who is eighteen years of age, has quitted Naples with her mother, in company of the Marquess of Hertford.—Le Nationnel. MADAME MERE.—Madame Letitia Bonaparte was ill, in a hopeless condition, and almost without life. Her son (Jerome) approached her bed side, and read to her an article from a Paris journal, announcing that the Government had given orders to replace the statue of Napoleoa on the column of the Place Vendome. It seemed to restore life to the patient ; she raised herself, and is now better.—Le Nationnet. NON.CORPORATORS HARVVICH.—The watermen who went along- side the Comet, Government steam-yacht, on her visit to Harwich on Saturday, seeking errand-going orders, report that their applications Were met by some of the party sarcastically, with "How can you expect to be employed ? you are the disloyal Harwichers, who refuse to support the King." "I beg your pardon, Sir " replied one old tar, "tell our good captain,King William, to keep the helm, and give us Reform, and we Harwichers will soon make Herries and Dawson get up their an- chors and quit the port."
