The display of splendour in equipages is not
recollected to have been equalled at Court, by
Ainbassiodors end foreigners of distinction, as has
been the case upon the present occasion of his Ma-
jesty's Coronation. Those who hare come to Eng-
land on the present occasion have not been content
with the display of splendour that they have brought
with them from their different foreign countries, but
several persons have been employed for some days
past, early and lute, in preparing hats in the English
fashiou, with new various-coloured feathered bands
and broad and rich gold and silver lace, with their
different national cockades. Among those who
chiefly excelled in the numerous assemblage yester-
day were those of the Duke de Grammont, who
had two state carriages; that in which he rode, the
upper ptimels and the front were entirely of glass
end the upper ornament of silver; the outside of
.the paunch% were gilt. The state liveries were yel-
low, lined with crimson, richly ornamented with sil-
ver lace, except the hats of the footmen and coach-
man, which had broad gold lace upon them ;
these were two running footmen with fanciful
jackets and rushes of silver lace, red breeches pro-
fusely decorated with silver lace on the sides and
round the knees, arid also with rosettes of silver.
They wore sandals over silk stockings, and net silk
cravats of different colours. They also wore caps
or fanciful bonnets of silver lace, leaning on the
right 'side. Upon the whole, it was one of the
uso.t splendid and fanciful equipages that ever was
witnessed.

The Russian Special Ambassador on the corona-
situ), also came with two particularly costly and
splendid state carriages ; the hattaner-cloths con.
trilled exquisitely raised workmanship of briars,
cusitaiiiiiiig fire ordera of his Excellency. The
brass ornaments on the carriage as well as on the
!runes., were particularly splendid ; the lute on the
liveries was very handsome and costly.
Count Ludolf, the Sicilian Minister, had two
state tuniages; three, with the whole of his equi-
;bogy, was wily inferior to that of the Duke de
Grainniont. These and several others of the Aso-
bieradors and 111iiiiriers, had hussars and yegers
most splendidly and cooly &rowed.
