.TULY 14. ROYAL FAMIL K • Tit e mu's HEALTH.--The following Bulletin was issued on Sunday at St. James's Palace:— win:nun( CasTs.e, July 6.--" Hiy Nlajesty has enjoyed good bodily health. and lion in genera' been tran q uil thr ighout the Last mouth; hilt his Majesty's disorder k out abated." His Royal Highness the Prince Regent gave a splen did Fete on Friday to the Members of the Royal Family, and a number of the Nubility and Gentry. There was considerable military parade on the occasion, and the Horse anti Foot Guards were on duty; their respective bands playing favourite tunes during the whole of the evening. The Queen and Princesses went in chairs at ten o'clock by the light of flambeaus through the Park. Her Majesty had six footmen; each of the Princesses two ' • all in their state liveries. Some yeomen of the Guards also attended, and a small party of the Horse Guards in the ride kept pace with the chairs, as they event along 6 the walk. The procession had a pleasin g erect, and the populace, who accompani e d it, preserv e d the greatest decorum. The gossips. who are determined to be early enough in their conjectures, impute the Princess Charlotte's in disposition to a cause, which will be welcome to the na tion. We are h appy to state, that it was some time ago announced to the Establishment of the Princess Charlotte of Wales, that her Royal Highnes: expected they would wear in fu- Ciro only British manufactures. An order was at the same time sent to her dress-makers, &c. not to introduce any thing foreign into articles prepared for the wear of her Royal Highness, on pain of incurring her displeasure, end being no longer employed. Tuesday, their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of Kent and Sussex, the Duke of Gloucester, and the Prince Leopold of Saxe Cobourg, proceeded to Guildhall ; where, in the presence of the Lord Mayor, the Aldermen, and others of the Corporation assembled on the hustings, they were each presented with the freedom of the City in boxes made from a piece of oak which farmed a part of Lord Nelson's ship the Victory ; they were lined with gold, and richly ornamented with the same metal —After the ceremony, the company adjourned to the Mansion- House, where a splendid entertainment was given by the Lord Mayor. The Lady Mayoress had a numerous party in the evening, consisting of not less than 2,000 persons, among whom were many distinguished timeigners. The Duke of Sussex was the only one of the Royal party who danced. The Prince of Saxe Cob ourg retired about half-past eleven, and was soon followed by his illustrious relatives. THE PRINCE ESTERHAZY'S 114NQUET. Chandos House, in Chandos-street, Cavendish-square, WOW opened on Sunday night, for the first time for more than St() years. This magnificent structure was erected by the (;rand 'hike • a title conferred on his Grare in conse quence of the style of regal splendour in which he lived. Every one acqnainted with the old Court recollects the celebrated preparations made for the christening of the infant, when the - King and Queen stood sponsors in person; they also must call to mind the extraordinary and agonizing catastrophe, viz. the child b-ing seized with convulsions, and dying in the nurse's arms (luring the ceremony ; the presumed cause the glare of light! After that dire event the family never held up their beads. The Duke deed, and the Duchess retired from the world, but stat from the house, in which she took a melancholy pleasure to reside, until " removed to the last stage of life's itinerary.' Once more, terrestrial greatness appears in that quarter of the town--the prototype of the Chandos family may be seen in that of P..ince Paul Esterleizy ; their possessiuns exceeding 350,0001. per annum. Bat to proceed:— Sunday evening his Serene Highness entertained the Prince Regent in a style of elegant judicious comfort, which produced the highest possible gratification. The party consisted of :al persons, comprising the following :---The Prince Regent; Prince Esterhaty, his son the Prince Paul, and the Princess Esterhazy ; his Excellency the Russian Ambassador and his Lady ; the Spanish Ambassador: Viscount and Vis countess Castlereagh; Marquis and Marchioness of Hertford: Sir B. Bloomfield; Baroness I.uckuer ; Count Bombell ; Mr. Newman and Capt. !Laws. The arrangements of the banquet were as follow :—Down the centre of the table, in the great eating room, appeared a plateaux, of exquisite workmanship, in ormolu, the devices branches of vine leaves and grapes. The principal ornament was a candelabra carrying la wax candles in a circle, within which were placed the choicertdowers ; several other candela bras, carrying five candles each, assisted in lighting up the table, on which were placed a most splendid service of plate. At six o'clock the domestics were arranged in the hall, and on the grand stair-case, dressed in new and magnificent uni forms ; nastielv,l2 livery servants wore yellow cloth, si ith broad stripes of silk lace embroidered very richly with the family arms, an equal number of those usually out of livery were ca parisoned in superfine dark blue coats, waistcoats, and breeches, embroidered with silver in a style of matchless excellence ; those dresses had only arrised from Vieitpa in the preceding week. At the bead of the corps appeared the celebrated Hus sar, who is seen only on occasions of state. This personage, whose commanding appearance always excites respect, wore a dress which baffles description ; the pelisse and pantaloons cost 2701. At seven o'clock the Prince Regent arrived, and was intro duced in the great drawing. room to the Princess Esterhary, a very beautiful young woman, just turned of twenty, and highly accomplished. The principal apartments, which are of the fist order, were admirably furnished after the Grecian taste ; rosewood and gold, the cabinet work ; the curtains, chairs, and sots covers of crimson striped silk, very rich and handsome. At half past seven the company sat down to dinner. The ban. apiet consisted of three Cutirsi , , rompriing avers delicacy ; the wines excellent ; and the desert was the finest ever seen. The Prince Regent was &murk delighted, and staid until a late Lour. 'IMF NATIONAL REGISTER MILITARY. Saturday sennight the 20th Light Dragrgins was reviewed by the Duke of York on Hounslow Heath.— His Royal Highness arrived on the ground in time for the Review to begin at twelve o'clock. The Duke of Wellington, attended by his Aid-de-camp, had arrived a short time before. His Grace joined the Commander in-Chief in the Review, as did General Bolton, and the Royal Duke's usual staff. This fine regiment executed the various evolutions in so masterly and soldierlike a manner, as to call forth repeated marks of approbation from the Duke of York and the Duke of Wellington. A great concourse of people were attracted to the Heath, including a number of military officers, and persons of distinction. The interest was increased from the circum stance of this being the only review near the metropolis this season, except that by the Duke of Gloucester, on Saturday se'nnight, in Hyde Park. The Duke of York returned to London about three o'clock, and, afterwards waited upon the Prince Regent at Carlton House. The Duke of Wellington returned to London, and after taking off his uniform, walked through the streets, ac companied by a gentleman. He was recognized by the public, and numbers followed him. A crowd was col lec!ed round his Grace by the tune he got into Cock spur-street, who testified their joy at seeing him by loud }razzes. Tuesday morning the Duke of York reviewed the second battalion of the Coldstream regiment of Foot Guards in I I yde-park ; and then went to the Queen's Riding house, to inspect the new formed corps of lancers. His Royal Highness was received by Capt. Peters, who has brought them to a state of great perfection. The Royal Duke was accompanied by his Aids-de-Camp, the Earl of Rosalyn, General Floyd, the Marquis of Worcester, Col. Morland, Capt Floyd, Col. Ponsonby, and a num ber of other cavalry Officers. They took their station in a gallery at the east end, near the Queen's Palace. The corps then commenced their exercise. It was a matter of astonishment to see with what firmness the men ride their horses in hill gallop, and at the same time load, fire pistols, and change from lance to pis tols, and from them to the sword exercise, and again return tit the lance, which is performed without any inconvenience or difficulty. The lance can only be used by a good horseman. When they were in full speed, and attacking individually, it was supposed they were in confusion, as is sometimes the case in the field of battle: but the word of command being given, the men and horses were instantly in the greatest order. The training of these animals is most astonishing. The exercise concluded in threes, in a walk, trot, and canter. The Duke of York expressed himself highly pleased, and his entire approbation of the manner with which the whole was gone through, and then his Royal Highness retired. A number of the men of the 12th light dragoons, who have lately returned from France, and the 18th light dragoons, • who have arrived from Ireland, were present to witness the exercise ; as we understand they arc to be taught the same. An embarkation of Royal Marine Artillery took place during the last week in the River, to join the Expedition under Lord Exmouth. Four detachments were embarked on board bombs, and the rest are to be employed as a Rocket Brigade, under the command of Captain C. F. Burton, and howitzer and mortar-boats. A series of medals, entitled the Wellington medals, on the plan of the Napoleon medals, is now in progress of execution. An investigation, under the superintendance of one of the Royal Dukes, has recently commenced, it is said, on the conduct of an individual holding a superior situa ticn in a national Institution not far from the metropolis; the management of which was not long since under the cognizance of Parliament. The English army, lately stationed in Sicily, has left an honourable memorial of its residence there, in a small building, erected just below the upper cone of .Etna, at the height of nearly 900 feet above the level of the sea. It contains three apartments, with a stable, and bears the name of the Casa I nglcsa. Over the door is the fol lowing short but elegant inscription :—" ,Etnam perlms trantibus has wiles Britanni Sicilia, anno Salutis, 1811." An article from Brussels states, that the Government of France has given orders (in addition to those already in force for completing the Departmental Legions) for raising a new levy of men, to increase the infantry of the Royal Guards one-limrth part. The recruiting, when the Guards is complete, is still to go on; and a new regi ment of three thousand men is to be raised, to be called the Princess Caroline's; in compliment, no doubt, to the Duchess of Berry. The Paris Papers arc silent upon this head ; they preserve the same uuvaried solemn stillness on political subjects. But if we arc to credit the Brus sels article, the French Government is beginning to lay the foundation of a Military super-structure, which at some future period may rise out of the ruins of the Na poleon remains, with a towering nail tin-mid:lWe aspect. It is true, that at present the Allies circumscribe their views, check their daring, and impede their progress ; but the spirit of the nation is not extinguished. The same thirst for conquest though lying dormant, is still La eziatenca. 179 Front tke LONDON GAZETTE, Tuesday, July 9. The Prince Regent has conferred the honour of Knighthood on H. N.
