On Saturday evening arrived the mail from Holland; and also Mr. Mason, with dispatches from the British army in Holland: and Mr. Fabiani, from Brunswick.
The latter brings an account of the marriage, by proxy, of his royal highness the prince of Wales, and the princess Caroline of Brunswick, which took place on the 3d inst.
Lord Malmesbury was the representative of the prince on this occasion. At noon on that day, his lordship made his grand entrée at the court of Brunswick. He was conducted thither in a very superb state coach, drawn by six white horses: eight servants in splendid liveries preceding it. Lord Malmesbury was first introduced to the duke: then to the duchess, and afterwards to the princess, who was publicly betrothed to the prince of Wales. In the evening there was a grand gala, when her royal highness received the compliments of the nobility on the occasion. An hour previous to the above ceremony, Major Heslop arrived at Brunswick, with a portrait of the Prince of Wales, which Lord Malmesbury presented to the princess. Every account we receive states how anxious this lady is to be beloved in this her adopted country.
Her departure from Brunswick depends altogether on the time of the arrival of commodore Payne's squadron in the Elbe.
The princess will not set out till she hears of its having reached Stade.
