THE DUKE OF CLARENCE.

PLYMOUTH, JrNE 5.

The presence of his Royal Highness the Duke of
Clarence during the last week has given the greatest
gaiety and animation to this place.
On Monday motning his Royal Highness inspected the
citadel, and partook of an elegant cold collation with the
Colonel and Officers of the MI, at the Mess-room. At
seven o'clock his Royal 110 mess again visited the citadel,
for the purpose of dining with the gallant Commander-
in-Chief, Sir James Cameron, where he was met by Sir
J. Saumarez, the Commissioner of the Dock-yard, Capts.
Pipon, Ayscough, and Hardiman, with Lieut. M`Crea,
R.N., the Commanding Officers of the several corps in
the garrison, and the Officers of the Generals Staff. A
party of ladies also visited Lady Cameron.
On Tuesday a grand inspection of the Guards, under
Colonel Cochrane, took place at the Government Parade,
Mount Wise, at eleven o'clock. His Royal Highness ex-
presard himself highly pleased with the appearance of the
corps. The attraction to see the Duke, the review, and
the weather being so fine, called a greater concourse of
persons on the ground than ever we recollect seeing at any
preceding period; every part of the space from which a
view of the troops could be got was filled by spectaton
there were upwards of 30 carriages or the ground. At seven
in the evening his Royal highness dined with the Colonel
and Officers of the Guards, at Elliott's (late Goude's) Royal
Hotel.

On Wednesday, his Royal Highness embarked from his
yacht on board the Royal Cambria steam-boat, and made
an excursion up the river as far as the Weir Head. In
the evening his Royal Highness dined with the Naval Club
at IVhichion's Royal Hotel. The ball which followed, and
which his Royal Highness honoured with his presence,
was attended by most of the rank and beauty in these towns
and neighbourhood : it was the most numerous and bril-
liant assemblage of Bank and fashion that has ever graced
the Royal Hotel ball-room.
On Thursday, his Royal Highness, in the Admiral's
barge, visited the Dock-yard. Ile was rc:eivetl at the
landing-place by the Commissioner and superior officers
of the various departments, and conductrel through the
whole establishment, with which his It iyal flightier:a ap-
peared highly pleased.
Yesterday morning, shortly after five o'clock, the Royal
yacht, having on board his Royal Highness, was taken iu
tow from her moorings in Hamoaze, by the steam-packet,
the Royal Cambria, and towed down the harbour, through
the Sound, and to sea, by the eastern end of the Break-
water, amidst salutes from the Britannia, Mount Wise,
Island, Garrison, and ships in harbour. She was accom-
panied by his Majesty's ship Reindeer. It was intended
that the steam-packet should tow the yacht into Dartmouth,
but about fifteen miles off, the wind, which was very
light during the morning, sprang up a tine brt exe, and in
consequence the steam-packet was cast off, and reached
Plymouth by eleven o clock. 'We understand that his
Royal Highness intends being in London by the Otir.
