ne Court.
The King and Queen came to town yesterday, for the purpose of bottling a Levee ; which was very thinly attended. There were only one Duke ( Wellington), three foreign Barons and three Lords—one Irish, one Scotch, and one of courtesy only. Among the presentations were two that require notice,—Lord Nugent, as Lord High Commis- sioner of the Ionian Isles ; Sir Harris Nicolas, on his appointment as Chancellor and Knight Commander of the order of St. Michael and St. George ; Mr. John Dens Thomson (late Commissioner and Ac- countant-General of the Navy), on being nominated a Civil Knight Commander of the Royal Hanoverian Guelphic Order. At the en- trée Levee, M. Van der Weyer had an audience of the King. An' Investiture of the Ionian order of St. Michael and St. George was held previous to the Levee ; when the dignity of Knighthood of the order was conferred on Lord Nugent. .Sir Harry Neale, Sir Graham Moore, Sir Pulteney Malcolm, and Sir E. Codrington, were also re- invested with the order which they had resigned on quitting the Medi- terranean, conformable to its statutes. Sir H. Nicolas attended for the first time in his new office.
His Royal- Highness the Duke of Sussex visited the King on the occasion of his Majesty's visit to town.
.Their 'Majesties returned to Windsor in the evening.
