Yesterday the Earl of LIVERPOOL and. Viscount CASTLEREAGH had audiences of , the PRINCE REGENT. Yesterday morning MONSIEUR called at Carlton House, and made his respectful inquiries after the PRINCE REGENT. '1 he Russian Minister has been some time indis posed, at his house, at Richmond, in consequence of which his house in Harley-street was not illuminated last night. On Thursday night it was' brilliantly lighted. Mr WiIITDREAD has presented the Proprietors of Drury-Erne Theatre with a bust of GARRICK. We have the pleasure to announce, that a new and complete edition of the Armoire: Himviyurs, Line retires, et Anecdotiques du Jittii6n de Grim*, in four vo• lames, may- now be had at CoLautts's, in Conduit street : those tberrfore, aho have nut yet seen this interesting work, may now be gratified with a perusal of the roost amusing though masterly sketch of the society, the - manners, and literature of the French watior, ever exhibited. Messrs ES - Arsasarnoz• and WOOD caution the Pub lic agaiost spurious imitations of their Patent single and' double Flageolets : Messrs. B. and W. the Pa tentees, are aware that a quantity of Flageolets of this description are sent into the country made by on principled tradesmen, *who are always on the look out to reap-an advantage from the labour of others, but on a candid inspection by any professional man, they will be found so much out of tune, that it is im- Asible for any person who should purchase such an •strument, to play in tune or to produce those tones Patent Flageolet is capable off. They are in iced to give the public this caution, as there is arce a dity passes, that some one (who has been sposed on, thinking they have purchased a Patent lageolet) call at our Manufactory to have it tuned, bleb 'cannot be done*: they also request the public be particular in poking for the Patentees' names, - ome makers have gone so far as to imitate, are genuine that are not marked with ttunoz and WOOD 35, Holborn-Hill, London. further inform their friends and the public in they have obtained a New Patent for a Fla ith the fingering precisely the same as the Flute, villa has all the compass of that )t, made with or without - additional keys, . sizes, from an Octave to a full sized Con- German ADM Notices, in a printed‘fcirtn t ha ty;nk been posted ia various parts of tb i e town, of the ntention on tbe pact of Government to illuminate the public offices, in testimony of their sense of the late unexampled and brilliant successes of the Allied Powers engaged in the contest with the Ruler of France, the most exten sive preparations were yesterday made in all parts of the metropolis, to second the views of his Majesty's Ministers, and to prove with what sincerity the public at large coincided with them in an enthusiastic feel ing of joy and admiration, at the prospect which was now afforded of once more establishing the various States of Europe upon such a basis of independence as was likely to secure to this country, and to the world, the blessing of a tatting and firmly secured peace. Scarce had the glooms of night lowered up on us ere a-new day, as it were, burst upon our view, and exhibited an effulgence of the most dazzling de scription ; but not more dazzling than the lustre which shone from the deeds of those, whose achieve ments were meant to be thus proudly and honoura bly acknowledged. Every square, every street, every lane, nay, every alley, contributed its meed of light towards the general Mate, and long before the hour of nine, a scene was exhibited, calculated to excite the most heartfelt feelings of delight and satisfaction. Never was national joy more signally pourtrayed— never did the heart of John Bull seem to be more fer vently alive to the blessings with which the coming hour seemed pregnant. Thousands and tens of thou sands of all ranks of his Majesty's subjects poured into the chief avenues of the town—not alone to gra tify their curiosity, but to evie . ce how cordially they participated in every feeling of admiration and re spect for those brave and gallant people who, at length awakened to their own interests, had boldly asserted, bravely fought for, and gloriously attained their national independence. Never did we witness a collection of more happy countenances, nor ever did we see -a mass of population so immense more cordially disposed to be in good humour with them selves and all about them. The weather was parti cularlr favourable, and we are hippy to state that nothing occurred to mar the general harmony of the evening, save the occasional inconveniencies of dirty streets and impetucus jostling. We were happy to observe also, that from the precautions adopted by the police, the mischievous practice of throwing squibs and discharging other fire-corks, to the alarm and imminent danger of passengers, was, in a great measure, suppressed. Among those illuminations which were conspicu ous for splendour at the West end of the town, were the following ; Carlton HousP.—'flie whole of the facade , cowered with lamps. The pillars wreathed in a very beau tiful style. In the centre, a most elegant star.— The effect of the whole grand and brilliant in a very high degree. Apsley House, the town residence of the Marquis Wellesley, was tastefully illuminated, exhibiting stars, festoons, intertwined with laurels, &c. _ _ Mr. Long Wellesley's house, which on other occa sions went so far beyond its peers, on this day of .proud celebration was uncommonly cold in its ap pearance. At the Park front there was only one , ample row of lamps, and the same in Norfolk-street —but this was accounted for by the absence of Mr. 'W. from town. At Mr. Cooke's, Mr. Wellesley's neighbour, there was a tasteful exhibition, a splendid crown, stars, &c. in Park-lane, many of the Noblemen's residences in particular evinced much taste and liberality in their illuminations, especially Lord Dudley and Ward, Lord Middleton, &c. The Duke of Montrose's residence, in Grosvenor square, was splendidly illumined, and displayed a large brilliant crown, most tastefully supported. Mr. Jennings's, in the same square, presented an agreeable appearance, two beautiful stars being conspicuous ; and Lord Sydney's also was agree able to the sight, by means of numerous large flambeaus. In Portman-square there were many pleasing illu minations, at Earl Grey's, Mr. Cochrane's, Mr. Ha milton Nesbitt's, &c. Manchester-square, Baker street, the the New Road, and all the streets in its neigh bourhood, shone also with great lustre. Cavendish-square, Hanover-squate,Golden-square, Le . c?q,r-fields, Lincoln's Inn Fields, Bedford and Russell-squares, Montague-place, &c. &c. were all very tastefully illuminated. The Swedish Ambassador's residence, in Ches terfield-street, presented an interesting appearance, there being the words Grossberen, Leipzig, Denevitz," &c. In Oxford-street there were many instances of the joy felt by its inhabitants in extensive illuminations, emblematic exhibitions, &d. The Spanish Ambassador's house, Dover-street, was most brilliantly illuminated, presenting the , words— ,, The Spanish Nation to the Allies in the , North." Bond-street displayed many very appropriate illu minations. such as crowns, stars, •' S. K. L. D." (Silesia, Kulm, Leipsic, Denevit s) ; and the Royal Institution did not forget to offer its meed on the oc casion of such splendid triumph, as if to shew, what , is the truth, that the sciences and literature only flou rish where there is something like freedom. Lord Ashburnham's residence was tastefully lighted up, with the addition of flambeaus round the tore-court. In Piccadilly there were many festoonings and displays of laurel ; but amongst the most singular and grotesque, exhibitions, it would be an injustice not to mention the White Bear Inn. It may have been observed that at this Inn there is a large white Bruin placed over the door ;—on the present occa sion, this figure was literally covered wits lamps, having two red ones to denote his eyes, it is to be presumed. At Stubbs's, the paper-hanger, there was a large transparency, displaying the Lion of England and the Eagles of the North combining to devour and de vouring the monster dragon that had ventured to trespass on their.repose and liberties. St. James's-street presented a beautiful and varie gated appearance ; almost every house had either lamps in front or many candles in the windows. The most remarkable objects in St. James's-square, were the Union Club-house, and that of Lord Cas tlereagh, the latter of which displayed a Crown be tweets two glitter;ng Stars, and tinderneath the tiah V. C. A. At Arthur's elttb-hottse, there Was G, R. In large characters; and neatly decorated, Star, kc. At the Guards' Subscription-house, there was " Lamm," in bold and neat characters, without any ornament. Pall Mill made a very gay appearance, generally, 'but there, before the superior and overwhelming lus-i tre of Carlton House, all the lesser lights, " sxlnt inter l eper Luna minorer," were outshone, and compelled to bide their diminished heads." There was no parti cular device or inscription, but all was dazzling and insufferable brighmws." The Opera House was illuniinited by a beautiful Star, between two flaming Pillars, and underneath, " G. R. and the Allies." At the Admiralty was held out a rich Crown over a blue Anchor a and two brilliant Stars, between which were the initials G. R. and G. P. R. At the Treasury, we read, in large and dazzling characters, 84 Tun ALLIIII-GREAT SIG." Fife House too made a conspicuous and beauti ful appearance. A radiant Arch, surmounted by the Crown, and underneath, in a corresponding curve— " Small., Kuser." In the centre of the base, " DES.. NEYITE," and in large characteri, between two flam ing Stars, at the bottom, " LEIPSIC." At the North side of the entrance to the House of 'Lords, the large window exhibited one blaze of lus tre, immediately over which were the letters G.P. R. the Prince's Plume and the Regal Crown at the top, and underneath was inscribed, " THE Cat:se or Ey- ROPE." The House of Commons was distinguished by a splendid Crown, the initials G. R. and a beautiful Star. In Great George -street, the most conspicuous ob jects were the Adjutant-General's Office, which dis played the Crown, with this inscription, " To THE ALLIES I" the Commissary-General's Office,, with the Crown with G. R.; 'and the Irish Exchequ er Office, which was si lendidly lighted. From Parliament-street to Charing-cross the bril liancy was superb, particularly the Treasury and the Horse Guards, the centre of which latter edifice was distinguished by a superb Star, under which , were written, " The South wing presented a Regal Crown, with the,, letters G. R. and the North the Prince's Plume and G. P. R. A very appropriate personification of the present distressed state of Bonaparte, was exhibited in the' ft - tint of Ackermann's Repository of Arts. The Cor sic,tn Pc.tentate was represented sitting on a drum in the field of battle, his hands under his chin, his el,' bows resting on his knees. Opposite is seated Death upon a dismounted cannon, in the same position, his elbows upon his knees, " staring the humbled Ruler in the face." His right foot has crushed the insolent French trophy, the cidevant invincible Eagle, his left foot on a cannon-ball. These two Sovereigns of ter ror look equally ghastly. In the back ground is seen the legions of the Usurper filled with dismay, flying before the conquering Germans, Russians, Prussians, and Swedes, whose proud harmers display the Northern Eagles, which will drive the French "Eagles berna the Rhine. The whole was surmoun ted by an emblematic Circle, indicative of union and strength, which was lighted by gas, and df dazzling brightness. At Covent Garden Theasre, the word " VICTORY" was displayed in front, in letters of red and • its inhabitants contrived, that in splendour ;t sh6nld vie with the longest and most elegant in London.. .Mr. Blades, whose loyalty and taste art alike con. spicuotis, and who has already becetbe proverbial for theexcellence of his illumination' s gratified-all who had the pleasure of passing along Ludgatehill t with a triumphal arch, lofty and elegantly propor tioned, composed of lamps of every imaginable to. lour, surmounted with a very brilliant crown. In the centre appeared written-44 Our brave Allie," formed of lamps sufficiently luminous to brighten the oppo site house tops, and underneath were the initials G. R. of corresponding resplendance. On the front of Messrs. Rundell and Bridge's' jewellery shop appear ed the word—" Victory" between two bright stars, the radiance of which was not eclipsed by the neigh• bourhood of the triumphal arch which we have just described. Mr. Jackson's shop was illuminated with a refulgent star; and Webb's Lottery Office pre. sented a front covered with lamps, tastefully grouped and clustered. . I St. Paul's Church-yard was adorned by the ele iant taste and loyalty of Menri. Neale and Bailie, ' and Messrs. Pelbttt and Green. The shop of the former was illuminated with two ample boughs of laurel, formed of variegated lamps, surmounted with a splendid crown of the same materials; underneath appeared " Leipsic," with the initials of the Hero of the Allies, the Crown Prince of Sweden. The shop 'of the latter was of corresponding elegance--an Im perial crown, skirted with boughs of 1 awe), brightened underneath with two stars of no ordinary splendour, 'had a fine effect, and attracted the passengers in crowds, who testified their approbation in loud and continued shows. The pediments, porticoes, and en tablatures of St. Paul's School, were hung with very bright lamps; and several private houses were illu minated with stars and crescents. From the entrance into CheapsiJe and through tl'e Poultry, till the prosp'ct terminated by the branch ing of the street at the front of the Mansion Houella the view was dazzling and magnificent. The front of a shop at the commencement of the street presented tae initials of the names of the mighty Kingdoms at ~resent asseciated to preserve the Freedom of the World—Eoglaud, Russia, Prussia, Sweden and Aus• tria. On the tiont of the shop of Mr. Moore and Co. appeared a very splendid star ; and Mr. Kennet, the hat-manufacturer, exhibited amidst the splendour of his windows the busts of those two immortal Minis• ters whose genius alternately directed the councils and nerved the arms of the people of Britain. The ape pearance of the busts of Pitt and For, at the moment when the. heart is rejoicing in the successes of freemen against Imp incipled usurpation, brings forth remem• brances which a British heart delights to recal ; and for a mometit we associate the Achtevements of the present day with-those two immortal Ministers. On the shops of Messrs. Kemp and Rae, and .Hick and Keats, appeal.ed two radiant stars ; and leftward, as we passed, we could discern Guildhall. amidst the gloomy splendour of an imperial crown, composed of red lamps, the initial letters of our Sovereign's name, and a star, the light of which served to make the surrounding darkness more visible. Mr. Rigge, the perfumer, adorned his shop with a resplendant star; the shop of Messrs. Birkeu and Wiustanley presented a star of corresponding effulgence ; se veral othei shops were decorated with - lamps, in groups, rows, and clusters ; and the Atlas Insurance Office had provided a huge transparency, represent. ing Atlas himself, supporting the universe on his shoulders. oisplayeu _ large __ green lamps. - The Mansion House, for the elegance ands pirit. • Over the Box Entrance of Drury-lane Theatre,' a dour of i ts d e c orati o ns, transcended all other edifices beautiful laurel wreath, of green lamps, entwining in the City.
