IMPERI : IL AND ROYAL VISITORS. , 1)1 The Allied Sovereigns left Pctworth on Sunday, and readied the Pavilion at Brighton, the King of Prussia at eight, the Emperor of Russia and Duchess of Oldenburg at eleven o'clock the same morn. ing ;• there they took ref reslments, - and the Emperor and Duchess walked a few minutes on' the Steyne ; from thence they p ursue d their journey to Dover, which they reac hed late in the eveni ng .... The King of Prussia slept at the York Hotel ; the Emperor and his Sister at the house of Mr. Vector. At half-past nine Monday tnorning, his Majesty the King of Prus sia, accompanied by his SQII anti Lard Witham Bentinek, left the York Hotel in an open carriage, and paid a morning visit to his Imperial Majesty at Mr. Fector's, where, after remaining about an hour, they returned to the Yolk lintel, took a fiarewel of the nu merous visitors, and of the town, and at eleven-o'clock his Majesty, accompanied by the Princes and attendants, embarked on board the launch of his Majesty's frigate the Nymphet', tinder a discharge from the batteries, Rod amidst the shouts of " Long live his Ma jesty," from all classes of the spectators. The Prussian standard was immediately hoisted, and his Majesty and suite sailed direct for Calais with a fair wind. At a quarter before seven in the afternoon the Urand Duchess of Oldenburg went on board the Jason frigate, under a royal salute; and at seven o'clock the Emperor embarked on board the Royal Charlotte yacht, which lay close to the edge of the wharf, in the rear of Mr. Vector's house. His Majesty was re ceiied on board by his Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence, Ad miral Foley, and a great number of Naval othcers. A grand salute was fired from the batteries, and the shipping in the has boar, and the Russian royal standard hoisted at the main-top-mast. The yacht sailed immediately out of the harbour, amidst the cheers of thou sands, and the roaring of cannon; his Majesty repeatedly bowed to the people on all sides, until the yacht cleared the harbour. The Emperor did not land at Ostend as he intended. The wind being rather unfavourable for that poi t, it was faint; more convenient for the yacht to make Calais, where his Majesty disembarked at seven o'clock in the morning of Tuesday. His Prussian Majesty had landed on the preceding evening in a private manner, from the Nymphen frigate. During the r.A.iew of the fleet at Spithead, on Thursday, the King of Prussia was struck with the appearance of a barge of the Rod nee, ship rig'aTtl, sailing about the fleet, an' requested her as a pre sent of the Mince Regent. His Royal Highness immediately con sented with his usual condescension ; when the King, turning round to the Regent and the Emperor, facetiously observed, " I hope you two heads of great maritime nations will not be jealous of my Navy.' The Regent, on taking his departure from the town of Pot tsmouth ordered the sum of 591. to be given to the poor debtors confined in the goal, and 501. for the poor of each of the paitsbes of Parts mouth, Portsea, and Gosport. So indecorously was the veteran Blucher buffeted about by the crowd at Portsmouth, that the fine enamel of the or nament presented to him by the Prince Regent has been cracked from top to bottom. This mark of royal favour con sists of an oval miniature of his Royal Highness in enamel, about an inch in length, and nearly three quarters of an inch in breadth. It is surrounded by' eighteen most rich and brilliant diamonds, the diameters of which arc as big as the largest pea. The whole is surmounted by a lustrous coronet of diamonds of the finest water. On the back of the gold, in which the picture is set, there is the following simple, hut honourable inscription : y r o m hi, [l o y a l Hi g h nes s George Augntonm Frodetick, Regent of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, to his Friend. F.eld-Marsh:il _Blucher, in token of his esicein, ri-grtrd, and high ad miraii at of his sipal Nery ices in the cause of Europe, 1314."
