wards submitted to the Prince Regent, and received his Re, I

on Monday morning, and took have cf his Royal Highness. He
was also busily engaged in the course of the day with the Earl of
Liverpool, Earl Bathurst, and others of his collesguem, and Mr
Hamilton, his Under Secretary. The Noble Viscount attended at
his Office, and swore in Mr. William Richmond, as a Special Mes-
senger, to attend his L 9111,1141, in the room of Mr. Basilico, re-
signed. who bad filled that office about thirty years. At two
o'clock, Mr. Curvisor, the Messenger, was stilt off to make prepa
tations on the road. Dinner was ordered for Viscount and Vis-
countess Castlereagh at half-psst three o'clock ; Mr. Hamilton, and ,
a few select friends, dined with them, but the arrangements neces-
sary to be made wise so numerous and in portant, that they were
not in readiness till half-past seven, when it was announced to
those who were to accompany and attend the Noble Viscount in
his irission ; consisting of the Viscountess, Lady Emma Mount
Edgecumbe, as a companion, to her Lailyshiv ; Mrs. Robinson, her
Ladyship's principal waiting woman ; Mr. F Robinson, and Mr.
Planta, of the Foreign Office, as Secretaries to the Mission; Mr. 111

Mr Richmond the Noble Viscount's Special Messenger; Mr. Ruff
and Mr. Williams. the King's Messengers ; Mr Krouse, Messenger
to Mr Planta. Pour carriages were in readiness at the dour of
the Noble Viscount's house, in King.strect, St, James's. Viscount
rid Viscountess Castlereagh having tal‘en a very atketionate leave
of their private friends, who attended to bid them farewell, as well
as very condescendingly of their domestics, the different pal tics left
the house, and entered the carriages. The Noble V iscount was re-
ceived by a large concourse of people assembled on the occasion
with unbounded applause—hats off, huzzaing, clapping of hands,
and every demonstration of joy which the populace could skew.
This demoustration of joy had nearly been attended with very se-
rious consequence ; the shouting of the people caused the horses in
the second cari lase to run away, lint they were providentially
stopped by some of the spectators, at the risk of their lives, jusc as
the carriage was coming in contort with a post turning towards
Psil-onill.—Visconot Castlereagh, it is understood, has made
arrangements for being, absent about two months. It is said that
the Viscountess, Lady Emma Mount Falgecumbe, &e. will stop
with the Earl of (lineally, in Holland, and remain there till the
return of the Noble Viscount.
Lord Castlereagh had not proceeded on his journey through Fleet-
street, on Monday night, before an attempt was made to cut the
hunks fixed to his carriage. The robbers, however, failed, in con-
sequence of the trunks being chained ; disappointed at this, thy
followed the cal singe to Whitecbapel, where they made another at-
tempt, and had almost cut the chain in pieces, when it was disco
vered by the outriders, who obtained assistaeee, and one of the
parties was Feciired ; the watch, hawever, not being set, and the
tog increasing, his Lordship thoneht •it advisable to "'tissue kis
jonrney without kitty, and the person in custody made his escape.•

Monday, Miss ST E P r:Ns mink her appearance at the Bath
Theatre in the part of Ma'ndane in the Opera of A rtartrrec.
The nitllitly civet Ilt,w of Covent-Carden Theatre, m-hcrtever
S. perfot med. and the nnive•sal report of her fame, had
raised the exreclation of the public to an unusual pitch, and
the house was of course filled at an eat lv hour; v:ben every
anticipation was infinitely exceeded by a display of vecal ex-
cellence, seldom if ever enualled ; and the audience evinced
the delight she imparted, by repeated encores, and incessant
peal, of the most rapturous applause. It is said she receives
501. per night fur her pet formance she returns to Loudon
next week.
