THE XI VG'S DRAWING-ROOM. The West-end of the town yesterday presented a spectacle not less gratifying to every patriotic feeling than pleasing to the mere lover of shew and amuse ment. The homage of such a Nobility and Gentry as t hose o f Great Britain to their Sovereign cannot be paid without having in itself an air of grandeur; but the cfrect is incalculably heightened by the blaze of female beauty and the embellishments of combined wealth and elegance. The present Drawing-room had ex cited an extraordinary ince, est. The streets leading to the Palace presented a scene of extraordinary animation; aid the visitors of the Court ceased to be the only, and ; ,;most ceased to be the principal objects of attraction. N„ t only were the foot-ways crowded with well-dressed merry people of various ranks, but even the carriage-way seas hill of spectators, amongst whom was no inconsi d,able portion of respectable women. The univer sal opinion amongst these gazers seemed to be, that they had by far the best of the amusements of the day. Tile windows and balconies too were occupied by as many lookers-on ac they could conveniently hold ; and from one end of St. James's-street to the other was a str ing of pi ivate carriages containing families who came to see the shew without mingling in the bustle. The whole presented an aspect of liveliness, ease, opulence, and comfort, not to be paralleled in any other city in the world. In the early part of the day, some apprehensions were civet wined that the KING would be unable to re ceive the company, which was arriving in such great numbers; but these fears happily proved to be ground. less. In spite of the remains of indisposition, his MAJESTY went through the ceremonies of the reception with his wonted glace, dignity, and politeness. As the KING ' S Birth-day had been already cele brated, the public demonstrations of loyalty usual on that occasion were of course out of the question, and the procession of the Mail-coaches was the only dis play of that kind which we observed had been re served for yesterday. Yesterday his Majesty's Drawing-room, which has been postponed several times from unavoidable circum stances, to celebrate the King's Birth-day, took place at the King's Palace, St. James's, which is the first Court tier has been held there for upwards of ten years, although the suite of rooms called the State-rooms, for holding Courts, are allowed to be the best in this or any other country for that purpose, not only from their spa dons size, but their convenient arrangements for the' cempany entering and departing. The State-rooms, and the rooms adjoining them, were occupied at one time for some months as barracks by a portion of the Guards : they afterwards underwent a slight repair, and the celebrated tapestry was taken eown to be cleaned ; this was said to be for the purpose of the late P:incess Charlotte receiving company, had she recovered' from her accouchement. There was scarcely any furniture remaining ; the only seats were, a few old-fashioned stools; there wee no lights al lowed; the King was known to have signed official do cuments by the light of a fire. His present Majesty, than Prince of Wales, when at Court, inquired the cause of there not being any candles, and on being informed that none were allowed, expressed his displeasure. The exterior inconveniences of the old Palace were vet) , great. The entrance for the general company by the great gates opposite St. James's-street was attended with considerable confusion in general, the turn from St. James's being so very short, and it was very un pleasant to the Nobility and Gentry coming to Court, particularly to the females, as they were exposed to the fall of weather, and the wind from various quarters; and among the rest of the unpleasantries, they were sub ject to the rude (to use no other coarse term) observa tions of the spectators, who were numerously admitted in those days. At the entrance for those entitled to the enue, or what may be termed the first Levee for the Royal Family, the Foreign Ambassadors and Ministers, the Cabinet Ministers, the Great Officers of State, and other Official Gentlemen, or those who have been in office, &c. the King's permission to retain their privi lege of the entte being granted on leaving office, if asked for—one of the principal inconveniences was a narrow staircase, only wide enough fur one person to pass, for which a spacious staircase is substituted.— Rooms and convenient avenues have been built for those distinguished personages to wait for their ser vants and cat riages. The yard for their carriages has teen increased to above double the size, by pulling down a range of buildings which were occupied by persons hiding situations in the Palace; and a gallery above them, connecting the Duke of Cumberland's residence with the state-rooms of the Palace. What used to be called the Lord Steward's Court, from the Board of Green Cloth being in it, and the Kitchen Court, now form one open space. Such an arrangement was pro bably absolutely necessary, from the circumstances of ijs present Majesty having increased the entre list so mush, that there would not have been room sufficient fur their carriages. The entrance for the general com pany is much improved both in convenience and com i4t, by the wall of Mat thorough-house and the King's ( ietman Chapel : they will alight from their carriages eirect under a colonnade, where there are also rooms and coveted ways, with fires for the company to wait I , )r their servants and carriages. The two staircases, (,re of which is solely appropriated fur those who have the privilege of the enure, are of white stone. The gallery through which those who have the entre are to pass is supported by marble pillars, the cornices of which are gilt. It is to be lighted, when required, with Grecian lamps, placed on pedestals. The first room teach the company entered was the Guard Chamber, %%Lids, together with the whole suite of rooms, has un dergone a thorough repair, new beautified, and deco eited so completely, that there is scarcely a vestige of old appearance of the rooms remaining. All the rooms have had new stoves, to correspond with, and agreeable to the fitting up or splendour of the rooms, el. appropriate fenders and fire-irons. The beautiful aeu delicate marble chimney-pieces have been cleaned ;it'd polished, so as to have the appearance of new.— Over the fireplace of the guard-chamber is a complete ~nit of armour, of polished steel, with a sword in the :ight hand. There are a variety of portions of armours eistriouted in various parts of the room. There are ;1 1 :.0 a great number of muskets, pistols, swords, dirks, ..:aggers, &c. formed into various devices, after the man err of the distribution of the celebrated armoury in the Tee et of London. In the centre is a bronze lamp, with `;!ecian burners. The next room is the old Presence tenonber, with the celebrated tapestry,having six lamps. The next room is the Privy Chamber, adjoining the 'ate King's Levee Loom, both of which, together with ale remainder of that east-wing which escaped the con ti4wation of th e fi re , are thrown into one, forming one spacious room. In this room is a large looking-glass, ex.ending hum the top to the bottom of the room, which faced the company ak boon as they left the grand staircase and entered the guard-chamber. At the east end of the room is a painting of King George 11. in his Parliamentary robes. The room contains stools and seats covered with crimson velvet. Large pictures of Tournay and Lisle. In the centre is a large or-molu lustre, containing two rows of lights of three branches each. Two large candelabras, elegantly gilt, at each end, for twelve li g h ts eac h. n the next room is an ex cellent full-length portrait of his late Majesty King George HI. in the robes of the Order. On each side are representations of the celebrated Sea Fights by Lord Howe, on the Ist of June, and by Lard Nelson, at Tra falgar. In this room there are three large pier glasses, teaching from the top to the bottom, with marble slabs of proportionate height. In the centre is a large massive or-molu lustre. The nest state room, in which the King held his Drawing-room, has a throne, which, for elegance, splendour, and magnificence, is supposed never to have been excelled, if equalled ; and far, very far exceeds that in the House of Lords: on the inside of the top of the canopy is a remarkably fine large star. There are three steps for his Majesty to ascend, with a most splendid State chair and a foot-stool of crimson velvet to correspond. Over the fire-place is a full length likeness of his present Majesty in one of his co ronation robes, with the fore-finger of his right hand pointing to the crown, which is close to it. On each side of the picture are representations of the battles of Vittoria and Waterloo; in the former the Duke of Wellington is the principal prominent figure, mounted on a white charger, wearing a large white mantle. In the latter picture his Grace is also the principal pro-' I mment figure, mounted on a fine bay horse, and wear• ing a blue mantle. There are three large glasses in the' piers in this room, also, entirely filling up the piers. There are marble slabs before the glasses, which have brass rods to guard the glasses from being broken. The curtains are of crimson satin, with gold coloured fringe and lace. The rooms increase in splendour, magni ficence, and elegance, from the first, till the arrival at the room in which his Majesty held his Drawing-room, to receive the compliments and congratulations of his loving subjects. Behind the Throne is a room, which was part of an apartment occupied by one of the Maids of Honour, and in which the New Year's Ode and the Birth-day Ode used to be performed by the King's baud, the door being open at the time close to the Throne. It is now his present Majesty's closet to give audiences in; to re ceive the Foreign Ambassadors, the Cabinet Ministers, the Great Officers of State, and the different branches of his own illustrious family. This is fitted up in an elegant and appropriate mariner. Beyond this room is the King's dressing or private room, into which the King enters from the garden. The company retired from the presence of the Sove reign by a different route. On their leaving the Draw ing -room, they turned to the left, and passed through a gallery which led them to the grand staircases, with out passing through the other rooms. In these rooms there are seats for the company, in case they have to wait for their servants and carriages. Another roo-n belonging to this spacious suite of rooms, which has undergone a complete change, is one which was not opened yesterday, it not being a court room; it was the old ball-room, but has been entirely new-modelled, for the purpose of a supper-room, for a series of entertainments, which it is understood his Majesty intends giving, and for which purpose a cola- , munication has been made with it and the old kitchen. The room is of a white ground, richly gilt in compart ments of various dimensionsv The ceiling has twelve perforated ornaments. It has five large or-molu los tres, that in the centre particularly brilliant and splendid. The whole of the fitting-up is in a very novel style, and is said to excel in magnificence anything of the kind that has ever been seen. The Duchess of Northumberland came in a most splendid chair, preceded by four footmen in new superb liveries. The doors were opened at one o'clock, when the company were admitted with great dispatch; as many as five carriages set down at the same time, at the new entrance opposite to the King's German Chapel ; they continued to arrive in such peat numbers, that by two o'clock, although the Privy Chamber has been so consi derably enlarged, that room, the Presence Chamber, and the Guard-room, wete completely filled, and in a short time after the whole of the spacious staircase was completely blocked up. They continued to arrive in crowded numbers till half-past three o'clock. The different branches of the Royal Family, who en tered by the military yard, were received with the band playing " God safe the King." The Duchess of Kent and the Princess Sophia Matilda came in state. His Majesty slept at the Palace on Wednesday night. At two o'clock the Duke of York, the Duke and Duchess of Clarence, the Princess Augusta, Princess Sophia Ma tilda, Prince Leopold, and also Prince Leittingen, were admitted into the royal closet to the presence of the King. At twenty-five minutes past two o'clock, his Majesty left his royal closet, and entered his principal drawing-room, and received those entitled to the entree, consisting of the Foreign Ambassadors and Ministers, the Cabinet Ministers, the Great Officers of State, and others. The Foreign Ambassadors and Ministers pre sent were—the Prussian, Portuguese, Danish, Ameri can, Russian, Swedish, French, Neapolitan, Baden, Hessian, and Wurtemberg, and Mr. Colphoun, Consui General for the Hans Towns. The Russian Ambassador came in state, as did Prince Polignac, the French Am bassador, accompanied by Mr. S. A. Billing, C.T. Roth, and Count Alfred de Vaudreuil. The Baroness Langs. dorff, the Lady of the Hessian Minister, wars presented to his Majesty by Mrs. Canning. The Chevalier de kautzaw, the Charge d'Affaires of his Majesty the ' King of Sweden and Norway at the Court of his Most Faithful Majesty, by the Count of Villa Real, the Portuguese Ambassador. The Bavarian Minister, and Mr. Niemen, the Secretary to the Austrian Em bassy, were also present. The Archbi.hop of Can terbury and Bishop of London came in state, as did the Speaker of the House of Commons.—There were also present, the Archbishop of York, the Great Chamberlain of England and Deputy, the De puty Earl Marshal, the Lord Chamberlain, the Lord Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench, the At torney-General, the Solicitor-General, the King's Ad vocate, the Judge of the Arches' Court, the Lord Mayor of London, the Lady Mayoress, Sheriffs Laurie and Whittaker, Under-Sheriff Richardson, Mr. Fitzge• raid, High Sheriff of the county of Suffolk, Mr. A. W. Des Barnes, Attorney-General to the late Government of Cape Breton. The Membeis of the different Orders wore their d.fferent collars, it being a Gala Court day, which had a very splendid effect. At the commence ment of the general Levee, his Majesty took his station with his back to the second window, in the front of a chair. The King's Royal relatives, &c. arranged them selves to the left of the King, according to their rank. His Majesty continued to receive the very numerous presentations and compliments of the Nobility and Gentry till a qutrter before five o'clock, with his usual affability and condescension.
