Among the many fplendid entertainments this feafon in honour of the Peace, that which was given lag night by her MAJESTY, furpaffed every thing which has been feen of late years.

Perhaps there is not in Europe a room more magnificent. The whole of the furni ture is painted by the fair hands of the PRINCESSES, and furpafTes in beauty any thing of the kind to be feen elfcwhere.

The whole of the lower apartments were converted to this purpofe. In the Library were four tables ; anJ in the Dining rnom four others, for the younger branches, who eaticed. In another room was a table for the RfiYAL FAMILY, and two miler tables in an ad 7.ining room, which were decorated with the beau. Ikands and ornaments that Lord CORNWALL, s rtl:tcle ufe of at Amiens. The elder part of thc No bility cupped in this room. Of the fumptuoufnefs of the Entertainment it is ant neceffsry to fay much, as it canftllesl of every , •::nry the country could furrifh; there was abund. anlil of grapes, pineapples, peaches, nectarines, and ;hang, of the sueft LADY MAYORESS'. ROUT. The LADY Mayottess's Rout at the Manfon honfe laft night was condußed with more fplen. dour than it has for fome years. The reafon of the Rout being put off fo late was, in order to ce lebrate her Majesty's Birth-day. The Egyptian Hall was moll beautifully illnnti• Hated with a Crown on the top, C. R. and the word Peace in variegated lamps at the top of the room, under which were three large mirrors, with the portraits of Lord Neybn on one Cdc, and Lord flood on the other.—A kind of throne was ereeted, on which the Lam , MAYORESS and feveral of the female vifi:ors took their feats about nine o'clock,' the Princefs CASTELCICALA being on her Lady (hip's right, Mifs EAMER on her left, and her two beautiful children oppofite her, in the centre. The company confuted of about fOOO, among whom were Lady LUCAM, Lady BENTINCE, Lady POMFRET, Ltdy ANDERSON, Hon. THOMAS ER SKINE, the Duke of ORLEANS, the French Princes, feveral of the Foreign Ambafradors, and a vaft crowd of beauty and fafhion. The dances began in the Venetian Parlour about ten o'clock, and continued till a late hour. The LADY MAYORESS wore a white crape, fan cifully trimmed, and ornamented with with artifi cial flowers : in her head-drefs (he difplayed a number of diamonds and elegant feathers. Yciterday morning Mifs THOM►SON attended the Kitiu with a few of her (mailer pi Lures in w. , 01 ; a command which the was honoured with confequence of the fatisfaftion the Q . lrs EN and PP. INCESS is experienced on their via' to her exhi b;tion on Friday Jail : we feel happy in congratu lating the ingenious artia on the unlimited enco miums which (he received from the Royal Family, on viewing there elegant and novel prodations.— We love to fee Greatnefs thus employed.—lt be comes the Throne to give an example of talk to its fubjeds. DM LE TANTII T HEATS S.—This Theatre having received a confiderable reinforcement by the affift ance of the Officers of the Guards who diainguiffied themfelves fo much by their late theatrical perfor mances at Chatham,was more crouded op Monday laa than it has been this feafon, alma all the Sub feribers being prefent. The performance was the Liar, which was indeed executed in fuch a Rile as would have done honour to a regular Theatre.— The parts were diaributed as follows : Young - • Capt. CAULTIELD Old Wilding - - Capt. BRIANT Papillon - - • Mr.Sownen Waiter - - Mr. CARLETON And Sir James Elliot - Colonel GRFvILLI Mifs Grantham - Mifs NORTON Mifs Godfrey - Mifs SIDNEY Kitty - Mifs PINKERTON. To which was added, LA SOIREE ORAGEUSE. Don Carlos - - M. La TRIM, Sen. Roberto - - Marquis De MONTMOUNI Angellno - - M. OCIRTIS Georgia* - - - M. Wm.sn •1 M. NOJRNT M. De CIIOTSIVL M. Lr. Tears, Jun. Ines - . . . Madame HeRBSTERZ Collftal3CE - - - Mes SIDNEY. The following is the Prologue to the Liar: Now when fair Candour rules the world no more, Her (brine negleeted on Britannia's ihore ; . When Calumny ufurps her milder Tway, And bids mankind her fianderous laws obey, How can we h op e alone to '(cape her rage, And pats uncenfur'd in an envious age ? As the firm rock withitands the boilVrieus gak, That blows tumultuous thro' the neighb'ring vale, The Pic Mc Rill, uninjured. keeps the field, Too firm to fall—too power: cl to yield— While the poor breath of Malice, Wring round, Whifpers, unable to infliet itz spread What, !hall we fly ? Shall we contend no more— Turn recreant Knights, and fake paths explore ? Shall we detest our infant boards with theme, Skulking ignobly from the lifts of fame ? When peeriefs Beauty backs our caule the while—. Gilds our Axed hopes, and cheers us with her (mile ? No—Should you, I.adies, give urger applaufe, We, never, never will defert the seep. The' fell reproach with banners now untied, Holds forth our Stage obnoxious to the world; The' Scandal's trumpet founds herdire alarms, And calls our moral Grandmothers to arms, We (tilt/Safi wiser, and the fpleen ear& Of private rancour and intolerant foes; While to the world this triumph (hall he known, Beauty and Virtue make .sr caisli their rues. We offer not, nor have it at command, The gilded armour of Pizarro's band ; Nor do we ftrive by loyal pomp to gain One (park of credit loft to Drury-lane ; • But may not merit in ids fplendor thine— To be an Aelor mutt the drefs he line? Ne—W e difclaim fuch pageant thews as there—. By our own talents well attempt top/refl. Yet, furely now, 50.60 e Peace from Heav'n dcfcende, With the glad tidings that mankind arc friends; When the brave Soldier hails his native plain, His wife, his children, and his cot again ; When now no more the hardy Sailor toils, Rich in his Country's love, in Gallia's (polls: We too may hope sir amain will crate, And let the Pic Nic, with the world, have peace! Les Aguazils Upwards of 350 perfons were prefent. After the reprefentation of the theatrical pieces feveral longs were fung by the Noble amateurs, Etc. Mifs NORTON is a niece of Mrs. MARTYR. The French afterpiece was interrupted by the fudden illnefs of Mils SIDNEY. The new Grand Ballet of AEtion brought out at the Royal Circus, named the Fatal Presliaion, or Midnight sfrafin, is highly creditable to the pen of Mr. CROSS. The Scenery is finely executed, and the Mufic admirably compofed. Amidft the ex cellent Scenes of this interefting Piece, the Cell of the Myftics is powerfully impreflive, from its va riety of awful folemnities,to animate and arengthen criminal ambition, every bofom is touched deeply at the Chamber fcene and murder of tiywah/. The Coronation of Ethwdd and Elburga is truly magni ficent, and the concluding fcene, with the appear since of the SpeEtres, (hikes the imagination pow erfully, and finely reprefents Supernatural Inter• ference punithing the guilty confcience. The Duets of Mifs ADAMS and Mrs. ROFFEY are very pleafingly executed. Mrs. HELMS in Elburga, Mils ADAMS in Birtha, and, in fa 1, all the perfor mers do the greateß jullice to this piece, which is -eccived by the loudeft plaudits of a molt crowded ndbrilliant audience, and will doubtlefs prove a very great favourite with every clds.

Subjeds of this defcription fhould have fomefinifh ing bellowed upon them to make them of fufficient confequence to hold a place in a national exhibi ti,n, particularly when coming from an atrift of eftablithed reputation, and a Royal Academician. 56. Portrait of Earl Cowper.—J. LAWRENCE, R. A.—This is a finely executed portrait, and a col , red likenefs, but the effect produced is by meretri cious means. We fincerely with an artift of fuch great merit could bring hirnfelf to paint in a more legitimate Ilile. The clearnefs and btil:iancy fo much admired in the proJudions of the Venetian fchool were not produced by glazing and varnyting. 61. Portrait of his Royal Ifighnsfi the Duke of Cum herland.—Sir W. BEECH EY, R. A.— In this portrait, which is one of the bell in the Exhibition, the artift has very fuccefsfully charaderifed the peculiarity difccrnable in the vilion of his Royal Highnefs.l He appears in the uniform of his regiment, which is very elegant and pidurefque. 135. 140. Cupidflung by a Bee, Es'c. Two deign: from Anacreon.—B. Wert., R. A.—The Prctident this year has been very claffical in the choice of feveral of his fuldeCts. Thefe are very pleating compotitions, not highly finithed, but richly colour ed. The artift, perhaps by a poetical licence, re prefents the " Urchin God," though diminutive in fixture, proportioned as an adult. This may be admiffible, but it has a very fingular effttl. 160. Richard and Kate, or Fair-Day.—Mils SP I LS BUItY.—This lady greatly improves, both in her Rile and execution. In this pidttre the army is well told, and there is much natural expreffiun in the faces of all the figures introduced. 08. Mr. Emery, in the charatter of yobn Lump. — S. DE WILDE.—Mr. De Wilde, for a number of years, has been the fuccefsful delineator of thea trical portraits, but in the prefent inftance he has been lefs fortunate than ufual. The character of John Lump is very well preferved, but the repre tentative is not Emery. 7 . Gaut:, &c. at Bowes, on the Ganges, Es'c.— T. DANIEL, R. A.—To Mr. Daniel's pidures in general we cannot refufe the tribute of almoft un qualified praife. This is one of the molt beautiful of them : a grandeur of defign, a breadth of light and thadow, and a bold firmnefs of touch, prevail tin onghout : perhaps here and there the yellow and blue exhibit too thong a contrail. Thefe few obfervations apply to every picture the produdion of this gentleman in the Exhibition. 522. Portrait of the Marquis of Exeter.—M. A. Salts, R. A.—A very fine likenefs, and a cub ftantially executed pidure in all its parts. 4oS. Portrait of Mr. D. Davis.—J. LONSDALE. —The colouring of this portrait is foil and good— the pofition eafy : the whole thews the pencil of no common artill. The Stibfcribers to Mr. PITT'S Statue have re. folvcd to let the money colleeted accumulate at in tereit in the funds till Mr. PITT'S demise. We fee in the Subfcription the name of" THOMAS ARIS" for five guineas. Whether this be the Governor or not we are not certain. Two young m:n at Edinburgh, in confequence of fome difputc, agreed to decide their quarrel on Sunday fennight, according to the prevailing mode, by Olio's ; but the Procurator Fifcal of the county having received information of thcfe irregular proceedings, the young mem were taken into cuflody, brought before, and examined by the Sheriff, who very properly fined each of them in ten guineas, for a breach of the public peace, payable to the Houfe of Indutlry, betides expences, and granted a warrant to commit them to prifon until they found fecurity for their good behaviour for twelve months, under the penalty of tool.
