IMPERI:IL AND ROYAL VISITORS.

,1)1

The Allied Sovereigns left Pctworth on Sunday, and readied the
Pavilion at Brighton, the King of Prussia at eight, the Emperor of
Russia and Duchess of Oldenburg at eleven o'clock the same morn.
ing ;• there they took ref reslments,- and the Emperor and Duchess
walked a few minutes on' the Steyne ; from thence they pursued
their journey to Dover, which they reached late in the evening....
The King of Prussia slept at the York Hotel ; the Emperor and his
Sister at the house of Mr. Vector.

At half-past nine Monday tnorning, his Majesty the King of Prus-
sia, accompanied by his SQII anti Lard Witham Bentinek, left the
York Hotel in an open carriage, and paid a morning visit to his
Imperial Majesty at Mr. Fector's, where, after remaining about an
hour, they returned to the Yolk lintel, took a fiarewel of the nu-
merous visitors, and of the town, and at eleven-o'clock his Majesty,
accompanied by the Princes and attendants, embarked on board
the launch of his Majesty's frigate the Nymphet', tinder a discharge
from the batteries, Rod amidst the shouts of " Long live his Ma-
jesty," from all classes of the spectators. The Prussian standard
was immediately hoisted, and his Majesty and suite sailed direct for
Calais with a fair wind. At a quarter before seven in the afternoon
the Urand Duchess of Oldenburg went on board the Jason frigate,
under a royal salute; and at seven o'clock the Emperor embarked
on board the Royal Charlotte yacht, which lay close to the edge of
the wharf, in the rear of Mr. Vector's house. His Majesty was re-
ceiied on board by his Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence, Ad-
miral Foley, and a great number of Naval othcers. A grand salute
was fired from the batteries, and the shipping in the has boar, and
the Russian royal standard hoisted at the main-top-mast. The yacht
sailed immediately out of the harbour, amidst the cheers of thou-
sands, and the roaring of cannon; his Majesty repeatedly bowed to
the people on all sides, until the yacht cleared the harbour. The
Emperor did not land at Ostend as he intended. The wind being
rather unfavourable for that poi t, it was faint; more convenient for
the yacht to make Calais, where his Majesty disembarked at seven
o'clock in the morning of Tuesday. His Prussian Majesty had
landed on the preceding evening in a private manner, from the
Nymphen frigate.
During the r.A.iew of the fleet at Spithead, on Thursday, the King
of Prussia was struck with the appearance of a barge of the Rod-
nee, ship rig'aTtl, sailing about the fleet, an' requested her as a pre-
sent of the Mince Regent. His Royal Highness immediately con-
sented with his usual condescension ; when the King, turning round
to the Regent and the Emperor, facetiously observed, " I hope you
two heads of great maritime nations will not be jealous of my Navy.'
The Regent, on taking his departure from the town of Pot tsmouth
ordered the sum of 591. to be given to the poor debtors confined in
the goal, and 501. for the poor of each of the paitsbes of Parts-
mouth, Portsea, and Gosport.

So indecorously was the veteran Blucher buffeted about
by the crowd at Portsmouth, that the fine enamel of the or-
nament presented to him by the Prince Regent has been
cracked from top to bottom. This mark of royal favour con-
sists of an oval miniature of his Royal Highness in enamel,
about an inch in length, and nearly three quarters of an inch
in breadth. It is surrounded by' eighteen most rich and
brilliant diamonds, the diameters of which arc as big as the
largest pea. The whole is surmounted by a lustrous coronet
of diamonds of the finest water. On the back of the gold,
in which the picture is set, there is the following simple,
hut honourable inscription :
yrom hi, [loyal Highness George Augntonm Frodetick, Regent of
the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, to his Friend.
F.eld-Marsh:il _Blucher, in token of his esicein, ri-grtrd, and high ad-
miraii at of his sipal Nery ices in the cause of Europe, 1314."

the Chapel had been fitted up for the occasion, and nearly
