About six o'clock the company sat down to dinner•in 'the KING'S S.llOOll, which had been previously decorated in a style of unrivalled excellence by- Mr. JOHNSTON, the Machinist. The Company occupied only one table, which was orna. niented with every device which taste and loge. nuity- could display ; it was natural .and artificial, in, the form of arches, and festoons were intro. duced - with the most happy . effe4 imaginable.— Alt these preparations were in compliment to the PRINCE, who was expeCted. The Company broke up about twelve o'clock, previous to which many loyal and patriotic Songs and !'oasts were given. We understand that in consequenCe of the money lately granted It IMParliament, preparations are al. ready making ft* a new Building at the British Museum. It Svilt be erected on the' south- side of the present strufture, with which it will sommunicate ; and is intended to form a Gallery solely appro. plate to Antifluities, including the Hamilton Col.

In order to give an instance of the power and ar. bitrary condutt.of the French Ambassador, General LANNES, at ,Lisbon, the following anecdote will suffice :—The man who exhibits the Phantasmagoria there, having shewn Louts XVI. General Lianas immediately had him ordered to leave the City. The Correspondent who relates this story, adds, that he was present , during the representation of the Phantasmagoria; -and that . the people clapped at the appearance of -Lours.

Towards two o'clock the dancing was rebutried, and continued to enliven its votariesfor bet. ter than three hours after. The rooms in the Castle were also open this 'e v ening, but so thinly visited, that the sounds of the fiddle . and tabor there were not heard during the night.' Several families of fa. shion retired from the scene of disaprointment at ode house to partake of the aCtive hilarity of the whet. Many of the principal inhabitants of the , town m a d e a point of being present'at the entertain. meat of the Old Ship this evening, as a proof of their sincere approval of his spirited and 10)41 con. duCt, in h'.3 splendidly celebrating the Natal D.y. of Royalty, a sfew evenings before. , The greater part of the Officers of the gist Regiment of infantry were also of the party.
