ROYAL VISIT.

His Royal Highness the Prince of Wiles, while
it Portsmouth, visited the Duck-yurd ; the Hon.
ws—Spencer, son of Earl Spencer, a inidahiputan on
board the Tigre, was introduced to hini, and also
a son of Eurl Berkeley, a very fine youth.. a Lieu-
tenant in the navy. The Prime appeared extreme-
ly happy to see them, and shook them by the bond
with warmth and affection. On 'Thursday his
Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence, accompa-
nied by Admirals Montagu, Tyler, and Otwity, and
attended by all the Captains of the fleet, forming a
procession, went to Spithead, and his Royal High-
ness visited the following fillips, the Bar. leer, ys,
Rear-Admiral Tyler; Repit/A., 74, IL.n. A. K.
Legge; and Lavinia, of 40, Lord G. Stuart. A
royal salute was fired from the platform us his
Royal Highness embarked with his son Cornet
Fitzclarence„ and other Officers, at the Sally
Port ; and, on his going on board the Barfteur, a
royal salute was fired from all the skips in the har-
bour, which had their yawls manned, their colours
displayed, and evinced other demonstrations of
joy in honour of the occasion. The day being re-
markaiily fine, gave full effect to the scene, which
was one of the most beautiful that fancy can con-
ceive. His Royal Highness did not return until
about 3 o'clock, when he landed with his son, the
Admirals and other Naval Officers who accompa-
nied him, and was received on the beach by General

11'lletham, the Governor of Portsmouth. His
Royal Highness afterwards dined with a select
party at Admiral Montagn's, with whom he is also
to dine again on Monday next, by which time it is
supposed the Prince of Wales's Regiment, now em-
barked, will have sailed fur its destination. The
Duke of Cumberland is also ,expected to honour
Portsmouth with a visit next week, as his regiment
has received a route for that place, where it will
embark for foreign service. The troops stationed
at Guildford, and in that line, have marched for
Chichester, to make accommodation for the Regi-
ment of his Royal Highness.
