PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY MORNING.

The PRINCE•REGENT rode yesterday in his car-
riage, before ten o'clock, to the Dock-yard, where
be was met by the Sovereigns,. the Royal Dukes,
the Grant! btICILeSS,Of OLDEN/WRGH, and a no—
merous retinue of General Officers. After paying
a visit at the house of the flon C. GIiKY, the
Commissioner of the Yard, the Illustrious groupe
walked to the stairs ; the Duchess of OLDEN-
-nuttoa taking the arm of the REGENT. His Royal
Highness and suite embarked in the King's barge,'
and the Noble Strangers embarked in the Port
Admiral's barge, amickthe cheers of the town.—
Fourteen ships of the line, chiefly of first-rate,
were moored at anchor in two lines, from south-
east to north-west, extending nearly four miles.
The vessels were the Ville de Paris, St Domingo,
Bedford, Rodney, Chaticant,,i'rhiee,figre, Queen,
Sceptre, Magnificent, Montague, Stirling Castle,
and the flig-ship, the Impregnable, onboard of
which-the distinlruished 'Visitors assembled.
On the arrival orthe PEINCP. REGENT'S barge
withiu sight of the fleet, a Royal salute of 21 gums
was fired by the whole fleet at once. On the
barge bearing the Royal Standard
reaching- the
flag-ship, the flag of leis Royal highness thebekc
of CLARENeE was struck-, and the ItoYal Standard,
of hew and exquisite workmanship, was hoisted at
the Main-top-gallant-mast head, and it %vas sa-
luted by every ship excepting that on Which. the
Royal Standard was on ba un, with 21 guns by
.the whole fleet at once. Uere a picturesque scene
presented itself, which.ean only be appreiateil by
those presci4. The yards of. the several vessels
bad been manned on the RF.6eNr's barge appear-
ing iii sight. The guns„were fired at cute by the
whole fleet. It isymmptite'd that-SOO s tti at this mo--
ment were under way traversing opposite courses,
in the space of fourtniies,and yet such was the ma-
nagement that lie act:idea happened.; The hills
surrounding, the - battlements, and Portsmouth
and Southsea Cohnuon were covered with' mostly
elegant company. The 'Newcastle and Antelope
ships of wh. at. this thus.: convoyed an American
outward-hound fleet to St. Helen's:: The lin-
pregnable hosted the Union flag at tilt:, mizen, and
that of the Admiralty at the !ovc..--top gallant' mast-
bea(l ; and on the RE“ rNT arriving ol board, the
crew welcomed him w:th three cheers, and the.
band played, -" God ,save the •Kille.". ,The four
frigates, as We before stated, and other vessels'of
war, were under weigies daring ttte• time, dis-;
playing naval' tactics. Some French vessels.
were obs,erv:-!t1 among ,the multitude. His
Royal Flightless the Pat NCC REGENT, and fits
. laustrious Friends, returned to. Sally Port,
where they landed
.at four o'Clo:!•., the Royal
Standard having been shuck on board the
Impregnable, with the yards again manned ; a
third Royal Salute by the whole fleet was fired,
and a fourth on the party lauding, by signal from
the plattorm. The Admirals Captains. of the
fleet assembled on board the flag-ship by signal,
and accompanied the REGENT on shore in proces-
sion. Ten thousand troops were..- drawn up in
Portstnonth,.at the landing, and a feu dejoye was
fired, and several times repeated with much dex-
terity. The Officers of the fleet, and a distin-
guished party dined with the REGENT at the Go-
vernment House in Portsmouth.

After the amusements. of the day bad closed.
with the setting sun, an event occurred which
gave fresh life to the town. A coach, drawn by
eight horses, drew up.at the CrOwn Inn, or Cla-
rence Hotel, and who should'alight but the gal-
lant BLUCHER. He was instantly recognised,
and on no occasion in Loudon was the -populace
more numerous : the eagerness to grasp his hand
by both sexes was unparalleled. " Blucher, Blu-
cher !" filled the air. " Shew the the Conqueror
of the Tyrant. Come forward, BLUCHER." The
gallant veteran appeared at the windoW with his
accustomed cheerfulness—the air was- rent with
applause. • When the roar was out, the General,
in English, with a bumper' in his hand„ drank
the health of the company. We leave the reader
tojudge in what manner this toast was returned.
This day the REGENT. proposes to receive the con-
gratulations 'of the Mayor and Corporation of
Portsmouth. After which, the workmen in the
Dock-yard. are to copper a ship in two. hours.
Next, a review of the military, and then another
acquatic excursion. To-morroW, Saturday, his
Royal Highness will breakfast with the Duke of
RICHMOND at Goodwood.

-There are still about 4000 sick Frenchmen at
Hamburgh they are wandering about the streets
like spectres.
