London. . . Dec. 13 . . . A certain very great northern
potentate is to resign the crown, and come and live in
England in less than two years; and a certain celebrated
architect has instructions to build a palace suitable for
the reception of so great a personage. Adjoining to this
palace, which is to be raised in Oxford-road, is to be built
a very magnificent theatre, where plays and operas will be
exhibited alternately, and gratis, four times a week. The
sums necessary for all this expense are already vested in
our funds. The revenue to be spent by this retiring
Sovereign, will amount to 200, 000 L per ann. It is said
that a troop of horse are regularly to mount guard at the
new palace.
