Tins Lady gave, on Friday, a splendid entertain malt, at her elegant house, in Portman-square, 11,11{ encoded by upwards of tire hundred fashionables. The arrangements fur the evening displayed the greatest taste and elegance. The grand hall and stair-case were brilliatida lighted, and the servants wore their state liveries. The Bull room, which, in dimensions, as well as ia elegance and riciniees of the furniture, is must su perb, was lighted by a large diamond cut grass chandelier, elliptic stands; and or meta brunches, with wax lights. The flour was tastefully chalked iu devices. In the other apartments curd-tables were set out. 'five slipper rooms were very brilliant; the tables were laid fer three hundred persons, and decorated in a most tasteful manner: grottos, temples. and bougiseis were placed round. In the centre of the table was a superb gold plateau, with six gold branches, for li t htc; the service was of silver. At the top of the table was Britannia, supporting the bust of the late Lord NEI.4nNs with the Lima ut her feet, underneath the Victory, with the mottos Trefidger, Copenhagen, and Aboukir; opposite *was A'epearse, the whole executed in transparent jelly, which had a most beuutiful ef fect, and did great credit to the ingenuity of Mr. ReAD, who regulated this grand entertainment. At ten o'clock the ball was opened by Lord SUN. , DCRLAND and 11144 DIANA BE•UINONT, to the fa vourite dance of Michael Wiggins—the music un der the direction of Mr. (;ow. After this deuce, which went oft with great spirit, the two 3liso B11•131011T% who were pupils of Mr. VeiTuts, danced a Boleros, with great correctness; they were loudly applauded by the company. The Friary Dunce then followed ; the third dance Lord Catch- earl, and La Boulaugere condoled the dancing, whets mapper was announced at one o'clock. it con sisted of every delicacy of the season—suups, of every description, and a moat sulierti desert, with the choi rest wines, graced the festive board. At half past two the company retorned to the ball-room, and continued dancing mitil day light; when they 'woke up, highly gratified with the attention of their host and liti.tess. Among the company were— Duchesses of Northurebei laud, Uniiii•t, and Leeds ; Mar ohioness of Blawdford ; Countess of Limerick, Earls Dighy add Perry.'; Lords Carrington, Wentworth, Jyhu Speatrr, Chetwynd, and Sunderland ; the Archbishop of York ; La die. mai min g, Dasbounil, 1. .

The vessels, with the remainder of the troops, I entrusted to Captain Salgado. of the Nr °o dor, with orders to foamw me, after dusk, to anchor in the mouth of the river Mahuree, and wait until I gained the hefore-mentioned 'amities; when, on my making the signal agreed on, be W4l to enter the river, and disembark with all possible dispateb.

Our force being two small to be divided, and the distance between the two pests being great,,asid only 12 miles from Cayenne. it was determined to dismantle Fort Diamoint, and collect all our forces at Grand Cane. I therefore left my First I.ieutetunit. Mr. Mule:atter, with a party of the Confiauwe's, to perform that service, sod then join me. On arriving at Grand Cane, 1 perceived two other batteries about a mile tip the flyer. ou opposite sides, and within hidt gun-shot oFeach other; the one on the right book, called Trees, no en emnience commanding the creek lead. lag to Cayenne; the other, at the opposite .rile, at the entrance of the creek leading to the house and plantation of Gen.
