Admiral Whitshed having hoisted his flag on
board the Virginie, commanded by Captain Brace,
gave, on Thursday, the 14th of September,, a most,.
splendid entertainment in that frigate to the puke. •
and Duchess of Richmond. The day became fair,
as if on purpose for the occasion; for it had been
stormy and Wet before, and has been the saints
since. .The sun, however, shone, upon ibis fete,
and lent ins lustre to the flags of every nation, in
which all the ships and vessels of war at Cove were
dressed, and ,the breeze was sufficiently strong :to
blow them out, and to display them to the best ad-
vantage, shewing the Royal Standard at the main-
top-gallant-mast head of the Firginie, waving above
the rest, the Utdon at the mizen, and the Vice.:
Admiral's red flag at the fore. The Lord Lieute-
nant and Duchess of Richmond arrived on board the
frigate about five o'clock in the evening, and were
greeted by the roar of cannon,
As the representative of the King, his Grace was
received with a royal salute of twenty-one: gunS,
each vessel of war discharging that number,' and
with yards manned; three cheers frnm the respec-'
tive crews in alternation, echoed Oro' the harbour,
while the Admiral amid:all the. Naval Captains, in
full dress uniforms, received their Graces on the
gangway of the frigate. Ai six o'clock the ,Lord
Lieutenant, the Duchess of Richmond, Lord March
and Lady Mary Lennox, the. Marquis and Mar-
chioness of Thotnond, Ladv Caliir, Lady Edward
Somerset, General Floyd, Sir
,Charles Vernon, the
Admiral, Mrs. Whitshed and tinnily, the . Naval
Captains, some of the Lieutenatos, and the Ladies
find Gentletnen of the neighbourhood, amounting
in al, to fifty-two, sat down to a sumptuous dinner
served on Le frigate's main-deck, and consisting of
turtle, turbot, venison, and every delicacy of the sea-.
son. 'I.;ICSe beingaccompaiiied by subsequent bum-
pers of champagne and a great variety of other choice
wines, and followed by an elegant desert, gave exhi-
lirattou to every countenance, and spirit to the Cow!

At eleven o'clock, the ladies being impatient for
the merry dance, the music struck. up, .to remind
the gentlemen, that their attention was demanded
by objects far more pleasing than Bacchus, that suf.
