The Royal Visit.
[By Telegraph] . Wellington, February 11, The Premier, through His Excellency the Governor, has received the following communication from the Secretary of State;—“His Majesty the King has decided that the visit of their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York to Australia for the opening of the first session of the Federal Parliament should take place. The desire of her late Majesty to mark the greatness of the occasion, and her sense of the loyalty and devotion which prompted the generous aid afforded by all on the South African war and the splendid gallantry of her colonial troops, is fully shared by His Majesty, who desires also to signify his heartfelt gratitude for the sympathy for himself and the Royal Family in the loss they have sustained by the death of his beloved mother which has been exhibited by his subjects in the colonies. His Majesty is confident that in the arrangements for the reception of their Royal Highnesses his people wonld not fail to recognise duly the sad circumstances in which the visit will take place.”
