Windsor, where he was riteeivild by the Dukes of
KIN? arid Corset ma.
Thu being the day appointed for the Psestse
AINBARSADoR to be presented to His MIAJINITY, and
it having been err saeomely stated, is several papers,
that his Excellency war to be remitted, in
Eastern pomp and apleudour, and that the delay of
his going to Court wee occasioned by the necessary
preparations. persons began to assemble inthe Park
soon after eleven o'clock, in expectation of seems
such a novel procession. This was, however, 'surely
erroneous ; as the delay was only occasioned by the
circumstance of His MAJIDITT having held his last
Court a ght inure, *Lich was about the time
his Eicelleircy arrived in London, sad yesterday
was the first Court flit MAJESTY appointed to be
held after. The length of time between the Courts
proved an inconvenience to his Excellency ; as he
had received particular instruciions from his Court
not to go out, after his arrival in the Metropolis o
England, until he was presented, in forts. to the
King of GREAT BRITAIN. Crown 4 of persons no.f
only assembled in the Park, but also in the streets
leading to Ins Excellency's house. in Mansfield-
street, where they assembled before twelve o'clock.
—About one o'clock His blx.issee's carriage, and
six beautiful bay horses, with the servants in their
new state liveries, end dressed, in every respect, as
if to attend His Mime iw state, except baring
hats on instead of caps ; and two new carriage, of
his Excellency, built by Bossism., together with
the carriage of Sir Stemma Correet.t, the Miei-
ter of the Ceremonies, arrived at his Excel-
lency's house. The•carrieges drew op with the
homes heads towards Cavendishostreet, for the pur-
pose of his Excellency', getting into the carnage
first, and also getting out first. when it stopped
at the Palace. In a short time after, his Excel.
lency came out of the house, carrying his creams.
tials in his hand, in an elegant gold casket, upon
a silver salver. covered with crimson velvet. Hie
Excellency appeared highly pleased with the viol
upprarance of His 1l Ai gyre's carriage, sad
live ries ; also with the reception of a genesis:sr a:
lish public, who took off their bats, and gave him
three cheers. A party of the Bow-street patrols
attended to keep order.
Mr. CIIVAITE.i, the Deputy Master of the Cere•
monies. Sir STEPHEN COTTRELL, the Master of
the Ceremonies, beteg iadiipmed, followed his Ex-
cellency into the coach, and took his seat on the
left of his Excellency. Sir Goax Obsess. who is
appointed his Excellency's interpreter, took his
seat with his buck to the horses.
His Excellency's carriage followed. with Mr.
Moexte. who went from England with Sir Ilse.
WORD Jos upon his mission to Persia, as an in-
terpreter. returned with his Excellency to this
country in the same capacity, and other attend-
ants. • In the third cornetts were two pages, his
Excellency's Priest, and Mr. Dotterel'. the inter-
preter to the attendants and household ; those who
were not of this country, were dressed in new east-
era dresses.

The procession was 11.41 by the carrirge of Sir
STILPHIIII Comm!. The streets through which
it passed were crowded to excess; and the Park was
so extremely thronged, that it was with great chi&
oulty the carriages could proceed.
It being the determination of Government to
*hew his Excellency every possible mark of respect
and distinction. his Excellency was allowed to en-
ter the QUIESN'S Palace by the great doors in frost,
where INt other person is allowed to enter, but those
of the Royal Family ; all others go in by the lodge.
His Excellency entered the Palace about • quarter
before two o'clock. He was accompanied to the
state apartment* by Mr. Cwityroft, Sir GORE Ong-
LEY. and Mr. Morita : the other attendants re-
mained in the Great Hall.

Soon after, Hi. MSJ !MY, being informed of the
arrival of 'his Excellency, signified his royal plea-
store to receive him ; when he was conducted by
Mr. Cusrrea, the Deputy Master of the Care-
mouies, and introduced by the Marquis Wet.-
LISLIT, as Secretary of State for Foreign Af-
fairs. Hi. Excellency, ricer the usual ceremo-
nies, delivered his credentials to His MAJASTY,
and he was moat graciously received. After his
introduction, he remained in conversation with
the Marquis WELLESLEY, who, together with Mr.
Cetsrea, Sir Goan °nixie, sail Mr. MORBIR.
conducted his Excellency to Rio MAJESTY'S car-
riage. about a quarter before three o'clock, aid
his Excellency returned to his house, Qom the
crowd was so extremely great. that it was isizeible
for His Majuexy's faCithien SO ipst ken oar-
riage. to open its door, and beech at the bases
door • and had it not been for the vigilaoce of
the ars-street Patrol,. it would bare beta im-
possible to clear the door-way. The populace gave
his Excellency three cheers again, upon his leaving
the cam iage.
The liveries of his Excellency are scarlet, nearly
the same os the Prince of lV•x•e's frocks, except
the buttons, which are plain ; the waistcoat and
breeches are green, instead of blue, and are bound
with gold lace.
