Royal Highness, to a numerous assemblage of the Nobility
and Gentry, and most of the Royal Family in London,

Every necessary regulation and precaution had been pre-

order and regularity with the carriages, &c. which they
accomplished in the fullest extent, as no confusion occurred
during the whole of the night.
The livery servants appeared in their state liveries, and
lined the entrance, and also the grand, lofty, and spacious
hall, which was brilliantly illuminated with very band-
some or-molu Grecian lamps. It was perfumed with the
must choice growing flowers, exotics of various descriptions,
as well as orange and other trees bearing fruit.
The whole of the eight rooms on the ground floor were
thrown open upon the occasion, which were illuminated
with Grecian or-molu lamps and wax candies.
In the principal drawing-room at the west end of the
house, in which the Prince received his distinguished
guests, a grand concert was given of vocal and instrumental
music, under the direction of Signor Rossini, who presided
at the grand piano-forte.
