THE L'AIL'EL: w -It OF RUSSIA, ANN) TILE KING OF lAIIVSSIA, &c. The aittuial desire of these tli'stingnislied Person ages to see that is worth seeing, in a country to which they have hitherto been strangers, ex cept by report, and which. the triumphs of a glo-_ rious Alliance have occasioned theni to visit, - in - (him! theirMAJE - STIES to attend the annual" Races at Ascot Heath yesterday. They started early, and went by the Fulham road, over Putney-bridge, through Rochatnpton and Richmond-park, an; arrived on Richmond hill at nine o'clock. They alighted at the •Star amid (;arter Tavern. The party consisted of the Eatperor of Ru , sia, his *Sister, the Duchess of Oldeliburgh, and several forein Ladies, the King of Prussia, the Prince Royal and other Prussian Princes, Marshal Blucher, • General Platoff, and many distinguithed Foreigners, Lord Yarmouth, Lord Cathcart, Cord Clihrles Bentinck, Exc.; in a cortege of eight or nine open carriages, attended by the Prince Regent's sereantS in dress liveries. - They went -first into the Tavern, and viewed the apartments, after 'which an elegant repast was served up to them in the Great Room, of which many of thein partook heartily ; his IMperial Ma jesty having breakfasted previors to leaving town, amused himself chiefly with -the views from the windows and balconies. The whole party then walked on the Terrace, and the adjoining spots. All expressed themselves quite delighted and in rap ture with the well-known and exquisite beauty of a ccenc, which all foreigners have pronounced un surpassed in Europe, the rival in .beauty to the vicinity of Geneva,the Ffescati of England, which induced our great Reynolds to fix his villa - on the brow of this enchanting Hill, whence the prospect i 4 worthy of the best efforts of Claude Lorraine, and where \ the stirrouritling.conatry. presents the Thames, not indeed loaded with vessels bringing into its bosom the wealth of the_Equator and the. Poles, hut a calm, meandering silver sttcam, gently flowing between banks fringed With um brageous grandeur, studded_ with villas, and adorn ed Avith. palaces ; a country endeared yet more perhaps by the recollection of poetic. excellence; celebrated by our Thomsons, and our Popes, in never-dying verse. Strangers they were not all to the history or the poetry of Britain ; but all stemed to feel, in their fullest force, the natural beauties - of the place, and the association of ideas by which, if possible, even those beauties arc enhanced. The Emperor of Russia .scented especially gtatified, and observed to some of his illustrious Companions, that it was the most beau tiful.situation he had ever seen. .After passing about an hour and an half on Richmond Terrace, they got into their carriages again, and descended the Hill, to proceed to HaMpton Court. • Owing to some mistake of the postillions, the August Party were here separated for a time ; the Empe ror anti his suite tamed to the left, and were driven by the-way of Kingston ; while the King and Princes of Prussia went over Richmond Bridge, and through Ttvickenham, Teddington, and Bushy Park. On passing. the bridge, the King of Prussia stood up in the barouche, and looking up and clown the river, expressed his ad miration of the scenery. The two Parties met .again at Hampton Court, and went through the State apartments of a Pa lace, which recalled to their memories, not only the wealth and pride of a Wolsey, the pomp a;:d: power of a Henry, but the deeds of a William; and the reign of an Anne, under whom those brilliant victories of a Marlborough, at the head of British and Allied troops in Germaily, were achieved, which have been since unequalled, un til, in their oWn days, by a Wellington in Spain. They then walked over the gardens of the Palace, if they boast more of the geometrical grandeur of the Les Noires' and Le Sueurs' than the Arcadian charms of a chaster and more Imo dern refinement, yet mark the magnificence of their times, and the constant splendour of Bri tish Monarchs. Their Maieszies assumed no cha racter of pomp, but conversed most affably with The Emperor wore a plain brown coat, with a small cross, and half-boots ; the King of Prus sia was in plain blue. They had but a short , time to snare ; yet every thing they saw they viewed with as much attention as that short time ad- . mitted. The neighbourhood being unapprised of their coming, they were relieved, if we may say so, for one forenoon, from the tumultuous, though grate ful expressions of public feeling. - . They continued their route through the south west part of ..Middlesex, over Staines bridge, to the race-ground at Ascot, where they arrived soon after..one. _ _ _ _ Meantime the Prinee•Regent had also left Um don for the races, in his traveling carriage',_ac-; companied by the Prince of Metklenburg, and two Gentlemen. Another carriage followed. ' The Emperor of Rtiftia, the Duchess of Olden ht &c. appeared the first on the course, and the moment of their arrival seemed the signal for universal and _unbounded acclamations from the greatest concourse of persons of all ranks that has ever been remembered . at these races, often as they have been honoured ,with the presence of Royalty. The King of Prussia and his company followed, and were'reeeiVed with great and gene ral -applause. The Queen of England and the Princesses came licit ; and, shortly after, his Royal Highness the Prince 11;!gent, .who was et ureeted with universal pO laits, &c. The Prince of Orange also %Vas there. The - Queen drove up to her Majesty's Stand, to which the Regent, and the Foreign Sovereigns Rod Princes, and other distinginshed Persons, immediately repaired, and where they remained during the races. The Royal Stand was at the time full, and the universal call of the thousands assembled was, " Blucher Blucher!—PlattifT! .Platoff !"—The Prince Regent condes• - endingly informed the Coln-' piny neithei - hid yet arrived.. The Pacificator of Europe, the Emperor Alexander, was called. llis 3..dajesty carne forward, amidst shouts of applause, which lent the air. • ller Mliesty, the Prince Regent, andt!.e Prin cesses were reslecti rely called, and each t cceivedi he cheers and other dcwo;;ltralions of joTful respect.

The same congratulations to these plant men, as before testified, took place ; hundreds were for taking the horses off Marshal Blucher's carriage, but a remonstraneC.from Colonel Bloomfiekl and other Gentlemen prevented it. Dinner was provided for 100 persons at Fro,,more, fur the Royal Fa mily, 'att. distinguished r 'Foreigners, and suite.— The_ august Party first visited the Castle, and viewed the pictures and other curiosities. , The Brentford and Staines road was in a perpe tual hustle throughout the day, and the footpaths crowded with spectators, who were not a little disappointed in 'the. change of the route of the Emperor and K hag, who had intended to go that wav, but had ordered their relays from Hounslow to . liampton Court. ADDRESS OF THE FORT-OF DOVER TO THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA. 111•3jesty the Emperor of Russia having signified, through Lord YARMOUTH, that he would receive ale Address prepared by the Corporation. of Dover; the Mayor, with several Jurats and Common Councilmen, attended by the Town Oliicers bearing the mace and other insignia of the Corporation, proceeded, about nine o'clock in the evening, to Mr. FEtiroa's, and being shewn into the drawing-room, the Emperor in a few minutes entered, attended by Lord CATHCART j when Mr. SHIPDEM, the Town Clerk, read the following Address To his imperial Majesty the Emperor of ALL THIS RUSSIAS. " Al - r!// it pfrase your Majesty, " We, the Mayor, Jurats, and Common Conn cilinen..of the Town and Port of Dover, in the county of Kent, .leg leave to approach your Im perial Majesty, to oiler our sincere and heart felt congratulations on- your Majesty:s arrival ii England. " The' great and glorious part your Imperial Majesty has performed in the grand events which, under Divine Providence, have .overthrown the usurped and despotic Power that so, long - oppressed. great part of Europe, is the theme . of just and universal a(!niration ; and in no country are the magnanimmis actions of your Majesty, and the brilliant 'achievements of the Russian Armies and their heroic Commanders, more deeply felt than in England. In following your Majesty's splendid career during the last eventful months, we beheld and admired, in your Imperial Majesty, the great and victorious Chief; whilst, in the forbearance and magnanimity displayed by your Majesty on the victorious termination of the mighty conflict, shone, fOrth the sublime character and virtues the Christian Warrior, with a lustre that will evi dently adorn the pare of history. " Your Imperial r Majesty will be welcomed and, greeted, in your progress into the Kingdom, with acclamations anti blessings flowing spontaneously frOm the hearts of Britons of every rank. " That the Almighty may guard the invaluable life of .your Imperial . Majesty, and long preserve it to reign over the patriotic, brave, and good Russian People ; and that time may strengthen and perpetuate the cordiality and friendship which now so happily exist between the Russian and English Nationi, is our fervent prayer. Given under our commoh Seal this Slst day of May, in the year of our Lord 1814." The EMPEROR then addressed hiMself to the Deputation in English, as follows : " Although, Gentlemen, I understand your Language, I do' not feel myself sufficiently ac quainted with it to reply to you in English, and Deputation who speak Creuch to be my interpte to's. to those who do not.'' The°remaindet of his Majestyi,s Answer was in French, in substance as follows " I am much ple:ised to Find, by the sPtimentSi you have rxpre•ocd, , o!at I.le services reude! - ed by •`%.rinies in ate . t.rteat eau.4e in which wc hat-;; been engaged are so highly 'conside'red by tilt British Nation I_eap assure von, that by no means the .swailest gratification I derive - frindifie late campaign is ;the opportunity it has afforded me of visiting• England—a country for which I have long entertained the -highest e.steean.' Gentlemen, I beg you will accept my thinks for this mark of your attention, 'and' my best Avies.for the welfare of your Town ; and assure yourselves, I shall always endeavour to preserve a cordial friendship between England and Russia.!! The astrEtton then inqqired of the Mayor the population of the town ; and having- asked some farther - questions, retired, leaving the Corpora tion tilled with admiration at his gracious conde scension and affability.
