THE NATIONAL REGISTER. tOIIDOII9 SUNDAY, JULY 10,1814. 41111INIMMTIMINIMI GRAND CITY FESTIVAL TO THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON. Ilis Grace the Duke of Wellington yesterday dined with the Corporation of London in Guildhall, and was met there by several distinguished characters, atitong whom were the Royal Dukes, several of the Foreign Princes, and many Naval and Military officers of distinctiojt: The preparations for this splendid festival were as magoificetit as those dis• played at the late entertainment given to the Allied Sove- reigns, the Hall being in fact, with a very pule va . riation, 'fit ted up precisely in the same manner. The . galterlis, how ever, on this occasion were not confined fo r ladies alone, but were also open to gentlemen. There were two band; of music, which played at intervals throughout the evening ;and several of the most celebrated glee-singers added to the harmony of the festival. The Viands were commensurate with the well known taste of the Citizens, and were abundant and excellent. Among other articles of old British fare which was prepared for the gratification of the company, was a Baron of roast-beef, and a mag of more than ordina ry dimensions, containing three and twenty gallons of brown stout. The usual toasts were given during the feast. and the utmost Conviviality and good harmony prevailed till a late hour. We have witnessed with disgust the custom that has begun to prevail in this country bf piaearding our wal:s and houses with letters and inscriptions upon political questions, and which, we think, the - leis 4in be permitted, as here every loan is allowed to speak his mind freely, and the Govern• ment exercises no other jurisdiction than what may be ne cessary to secure the peace and preserve the order of the laws. What these nightly libellers want we cannot devise? The Papers in opposition are Surely vigilant enough in the trade of leuxd'esprit and open condonnation. If we have our fleets in Ilyde Park, they have their arsenals in the Strand and Printing House-square,; they abound in rtporis as we in rockets—and we fear their faire works are more dam.. gerous than those preparing in either of the three Parks. They ask constantly, what moral good all this preparation can produce ; 'and - we, in return, ask where is the moral evil? We require some amusernent to qualify our past suf. 7 7 'x'pressing out gratitude, that may otiuous airisttd. II fermi it.1...4d4ne tiode'cif expressing our gratitude, that may ~" • 4 r
