HIS .11AJES7'Y'S BIRTH DAY.

Our beloved Monarch's birth-day is always
bailed as joyful event, and celebrated by all ranks
and degree", of persons throughout the country,
but particularly in the riot metropolis, which is the
seat of ito)alty, and where the Nobility, Oeutry.
and other perbonages of distinction, are assembled
from all parts of England, Scotland, and Ireland,
_ .

-
at this Liu's of the year, but in particular for this
day. tu fact, the Kum's birth-day is considired

th close of the London season, as the metropolis
begius to lose its fashionable cowpony, who then
retire to their country seats.
liis MMA,►sstr completed his seventieth year
on Saturday, and although it is the number that is
su general termed the extent of the years of man,
yet we have great satisfaction in being able to say, at

his aiir.iticeif age, he enjoys most eicelletot health
;And spirits. and touch vigour of Lund and booty ;
of which he g.ove great proof on Satuid.ty, to
the Bishops of Cultrreu and SALISBURY, several

dignified clergy, and * select party of personages
of distinction, and particular private friendg,
who were admitted to his preoence' tit pay their
reverts mid congratulatimp.on the day we haves..
however. to lament, that the disorder in his eyes
rti k remains, and prevents him from appearing in
puhlic we understand it is in the same state that
it bus hems for smile time past. He generally no-
sides at Windsor, his favourite Palace and country,
except oCcasionally for a few days in London, whru
he accoinpauies tier MAJWY, to hold a drawing-
room.

His MAJZIPTY was not at Court on Saturday.—
The day was distinguished by every demonstration
of
joy throngliont the KlNdll dominions, parti-
ctifarly in the inetnspolis. The inhabitants were
awaked is the morale! by the ringing of !sells;
this testimony of rejoicing, on the return of the
holiday, continued till near midnight, and every
ether public demonstration of jay was inanifested.
As the Horse Guards' clock struck cue, a gunner,
belonging to the train of artillery, discharged a
double toys'. salute, from small cannon, in St.
James's Park ; and, at the same time, the Go guns
freak the Tower were discharged. The ships lying
in the Thames, and all the ports, displayed their
colours upon the occasion, with • the English up-
periuovt, of course. The Gags and standards of
the United Kingdom were exhibited from the
Tower, the different public buildings, and the
churches. The day was, us usual, hulks] by moot
ranks as a day of festivity, particularly by females,
and persous of all deeeriptions from the country,
who flock to their friends residing at the Court-
end of the town, to view the numerous assemblage
of no-Libre, persons at distinction, and .geritry,
going to Court in their costly and superb dresses;
and although titlyeartainly may be called anti-
Rutted, yet it is a novel sight to behold them,
since Fier Ikleaawee holds so few Courts. The

inhabitauts of St. James's-street, and the streets I
leading to it, seriously experienced in their pock-
ate the attraction of the Cultic, as they were •
obliged to keep open houses for the enterteinment
Of -their fnends. Tkero was aaarosay a one:lets dist
was net fillet ; some of the tops of the houses
were crowded. This exhibition had a very fusel-
natiog and charming effect, the major part of the
spectators being lovely feteales., elegantly dresses!.
The streets were crowded to an excess, but we did
not hear of any accident, which we wereapprelicusive
would he the case, as the Life Guards rode at a
rapid pace among the multitude. This body of
men are extremely well calculated to regulate car-
riages, but not at all necessary for au orderly as-
' semliage of persons.
The Board of Green Cloth took every piostode
precaution to preserve order, they issuer) public
orders for regulating the carriages, ::c. The Bow-
etteet Ofllcers, with their silver staffs, the whole of
the parole of the same eetablishineut, the officers
belonging to the police offices, and a great number
of parish coustaliles, preserved all the regularity
possible in such n large assemhlage.
The company began to arrive at the Palace about
half past twelve o'clock, and the carriages conti-
nued vetting down till near five. The new carriae,es
were extremely elegant, maid the taste displayed
gave a very flattering specimen of the improved
state of the arts of this country. All the royul ser-
vants had new clothing for the occasion ; the
Prince or W A new state liveries were eetrente-
ly splendid ; thegold knee bands, Minced of littlish,
worn by His 1111.t.iastv's servants, were a consider-
Ile addition to the appearatiee, and the blue rat-
ifiers, inlaid on their large hats, had a very hraud
effect. The guards en duty for tics day had new
clothes, and the band, who played occasionally
in the Palace-yard during the day, their state
dreams. The weather in the morning was very unfa-
vourable, yet it did not damp the desire of the pub-
lic to sec the ROYAL FAMILY and the splendour of
the Court, for persous actually began to assemble
at the Palace, who lead procurer) tickets from the
I.tien CMAMBERLAIN, and by half past ten the
whole or the rooms were filled ; it rained nearly the
whole nioruing ; notwithstanding the crowd assem-
bled in the Park and round the -QC EEX'S Palace
exceeded any for a number or years, and continued
there, although several heavy showers fell, and it
did Not wholly clear up till 'near two o'clock ; the
top of the coveted way in the l'alace was crowded,
which much heightened the beauty of the scene.
Soon after nine o'clock Their MAJFIVCIEs end
the. PRINCE*SES breakfasted ; upon which occasion,
a • is customary upon Their NI AJ EsTIES' birth-days,
t ;la.! was a general assembly of the Royal Family.
The Duke of liesiT arrived at the Qv 11.21'S Palace
by half past ci4lst o'clock, end by a little after ten
the Prniceof Wa LF.T., lice Dukes of Vote, CLA-
RENCE, CCIIISERLAND, SUSSEX, CAMIIFIDOE, and
