The weather was, in every respect, favourable during his
Royal Highness's stay; and nothing email exceed the magni-
ficence and splendour of the scene which Portsmouth and
Spithead exhibited during the whole visit. Great 'numbers
of the Nobility and Gentry from rill parts of the country had
repaired to Portsmouth ; and when his Royal Highness wept
afloat, the crowds of sailing vessels and !mats which covered
SOit head, ornamented with flags, and filled with company,
afforded the most brilliant and gratifying 'spectacle that can
be imagined.

The towns of Portsmouth and Gosport, and the neighbour-
hood, were brilliantly illuminated every night; and the in-
habitants vied with each other in displaying transparencies
and devices, cxpresSive of their dutiful affection to his Royal
Hit !mes's -person and government ; and their gratitude for
the signal glories' and blessings which had been achieved-
under hiS auspices. Indeed, wherever his Royal Highness
appeared, he *AS received with the liveliest expression of joy
on the part of the people ; and on his going to Portsmouth,
the towns and villages were crowded with spectators, who
had collected from all parts of the country: tlags and ban-
ners were hung out front the windows, and triziMphal-arches.
adorned with laurel end wreaths of thrvers, were erected in
several places through which his Royal Highness and his Il-
lustrious Visitors passed.
The satisfaction with which his Royal Highness received
these lively and continued demonstrations of the ailection
of the people was bei.ghtened by the happy consideration,
that notwithstanding the immense concourse of persons col--
lected everywhere on shore, and the innumerable boats and
vessels which crowded Spithead, and attended the Beet to sea,
no accident vivhatsuever was known to have occurred.
On the evening of the 27th, the Prince Regent returned to
town, • highly satisfied with an excursion which appeared to
give equal pleasure to his Royal Highness, and to all those;
who bad the happiness to approach his Royal Person.
