PItINCE REGENT'S FETE.

Last night, in honour of her 'MAJESTY, the
Putxce REGENT gave a splendid. I' ete at .Carlton
House. The Nobility and Gentry invited began
to assemble about ten o'clock, atid 'continued to
arrive for upwards of an hoar after. A numerous ,
party ref the 7th regiment of hussars were on duty
in Pali Mall on the occasion„ and the utmost
good order was preserved, notwithstanding the
immense number of spectators that crowded the
streets to a late boar. It is scarcely necessary to
observe, that the entertainment provided was of
the most sumptnous description. The rooms
were fitted up in nearly the same style as on the
occasion of the former fete; but the number of
persons invited, as we have already stated, was
comparatively not very great, his Royal High-
ness, for the better accommodation of,. the
fashionable world, having former' arrangements
for receiving the Nobility and (;entry at differ Lot
times,

sedan chair front Buckingham House to the
Pattqcv. itaGENT'$ Fete, accompanied by their
Royal highnesses the Princesses Buz/tel.= and
Alsav, with their usual attendants.
The state sedan chairs having been beautified
for the occasion, we have been favoured with a
description of them.

with the Muses in medallions, surrounded by de-
vices of the most elegant description, la scrolls,
festoons, &c. highly varnished and polished ; the
