Olk6 of the grandest entertainments- ever wit:
nessed in the City of London, except the Prince's
r.-i.ig,aificentlete" , last year, -and Royal banquets,
was giVen on Wedilesday, at the Mansion-House.
It was the intention of the Lord Mayor to pay the
highest compliment-in his power to the Royal Fa-
mily, who have kindly connescended to honour
hint,.during his Mayoralty, with the most mai.ke<l.,
attention, respect, and regard.. The Party there-,
fore invited to meet their Royal liighnesSes the
Princes, consisted of all the Ambassadors and _Fo-
reign Ministers at our Court, 'the great Officers of
State, such of the Nobility kind distinguished
Members of all political parties as his Lordship
was acquainted with, all the Aldermen, and the
Heads of the principal Public Bodies and Charter-
ed Companies irk the City; and between 20 and3o
Ladies bf the first rank and distinction, who soon
after six o'clock assembled at the Mansion-Mouse,
to witness the. sumptuouSness (if the\ table of the
first City in the world, which was covered with
every delicacy of the season, and to partake of his
Lordship's splendid hospitality, in honour of the
great City over N.V.hich he presides.
To describe the decorations of this superb
edifice, in all its parts, would only tire the reader ;
unwearied preparations were made: for weeks be-
fore, owl every thing succeeded to the.high satis-
faction of the Illustrious Party assembled.
The Lady Mayoress, at night, opened the re-
mainder of this splendid Mansion with a ball and
supper, at which all the Gentlemen appeared In
Court dresses, and the. Ladies the same, with the
exception of hoops.
.The LOrd Mayor-and Lady
Mayoress, desirouS that nothing :'housiti diminish
the compliment to their. friends, „ were most re-,
luctantly obliged; to prevent 'the rooms from
being over-Crov;ded, to limit the nuiAbe;. of in-
vitations. ,

Supper was preparted for about seven hundred
persons, but so.numerous were the applications
for tickets to the:etteitainment from their innne7
diate friends within the last week, that nearly orie
thousand crae hundred invitations were, at last
issued and so desirous was the whole party of
paying every attention to the Lady Mayortss,
that nearly the whole of that number staid to the
Supper, .The consequence was, that many per-
sons were without seats all were, however, plen-
tifully supplied with Champaigne, and every other
choice wine that could be procured, and every one
at last got some refreshment.

The —splendour of the dresses was beyond ail
description, and only seen at the drawing-room,
and the houses of the Prince and persons of the first
rank and distinction. The La iv Mayoress wore a
splendid dress of white crape richly embroidered
with real silver .; her head-dress consisted of dia-
monds and a very large plume of white ostrich
feathers. The whole was truly magnificent, a;
were the Lord Mayor's being a rich embroidered
coat, and full suit 'to correspond. He did not
wear any of the state robes, owing to the day not
being held on any particular festival. The Lady
Mayoress went through the fatigues•of the day to
the _astonishment of her friends, and did the ,ho-
-nours of the entertainment with the most unaft
fected attention to all present..

We recommend to ail our readers the following
Exhortation of the late pious and wise Bishop of
London, which, though delivered thirty-four
years ago, will appear peculiarly apposite to -the
present domestic state of the kingdom n---
" It is in times such as these tha we look for
those noble examples of Self-denial and Public
Spirit, / which bespeak true greatness of. mind—
which .have sometimes saved kingdoms, and ini-
.mortalized individuals. Let, then, all the wise
and good, in every party and denomination of
men among us (for they are in every one to be
found), stand forth in the present exigency as one
man, to advise; direct, assist, and befriend their
country and. as the Roman Triumvirs gave -up
each hip friend for the destruction of the State, let
every one now give up his favourite 'prejudices,
systems, interest, resentments, and connections,
for the preservation of it. Let us not, for,Godss
sake; let us not waste that time in tearing and.
devouring one another, which ought to be em-
ployed for ,the general welfare. Unjust suspi-
cions, uncandid interpretations, mutual re-
pro-aches, and endless altercations, can answer
no other purpose, hut to embitter our minds, and
multiply the very evils we all wish:to remove."

A lbilg private ezamination before Mr. READ,W.IO
were bron.q-1-A from Gravesend A few days since by
Adkins :'nd rearkes. The prisoners, we learn
from Margate, hRd been living at Ad Thu there
for srane time, where. they paid their• bill With a
forged 501. Prink of England note. After they
were gone," it. was diseoVered that the note was
forged, -and a very flagrant coarse imitation of
ere ; it, i 3 not even the size of one, being consi-
derably largec..An alarm wa6 given, the prisoners
traced through 2:fargate and on to Gravesend,
Where they were stopped; and on searching them
and their luggage, some papero and letters were,
found; which caused a strong suspicion that th-ey
were carrying on an improper correspondence with
the Minister at the head of the Polit-e in PAri,(.-,
A communication of this circumstance .tv'.s sent
to the Secretary of State's Olive, and Adkins and
Pearkes-were in Consequence sent to bring theui
to town. •

Litehfielk,'tho Solicitor td the Treasury;

the Bank.

The prisoners 'Nyere committed for farther exa-
mination.

the `Office by J. Townsend; and tfro of 'the Pa-
trole; charged with:picking the pocket:of a Geri-
tlemaii; Mr. Warren, of Wu'worth, of his hand-

the King's Birth-day:
The charge being clearly proved, the prisoner
was committed far trial.

MART.,IIOROUGII-STRErT.—A strange occurrence
tuck place at this Office on Wctinesaay evening,
which, excited considerable alarm. Two of the
Magistrates were Conversing together in the ab-
sence of business, when a genteel looking man,
dressed in black, approached the table in an
as-
suming .attitude, with his hat on, and carelessly
threw a pamphlet on the table, and demanded
that it should be perused, and tilt grievanect,
thereid.stated redressed, or he would do for so:ae
of them: He drew from a side pocket a knife en.
sheathel, such as is used for slaying c::ttle, on
uttering the last expression, and he left the room
pointing it at th Magistrates. The intruder im-
mediately made his escape. He, howeTer; made
his appearance at the Office again yesterday, and •
he was immediately taken into custody and hand-
cuffed ; on searching him, the same knife which
he presented in his threat at the Magistrates the
day before was found on him. The prisoner un-
derweat an examination before Mr. Co NAtiT hut
lie assigned no other reason for his alarming con-
duct, than that he sought redress for injuries
which were stated in the pamphlet.
,U'he prisoner's name is Le Jure, and is, a French
teacher at an acadethy near London. The pam-
phlet is written in a romantic style, complaining
of want of redress of injuries, which are net even
stated. Hd had wrirtea letters to Government
Officers, and complained of neglect in his applica-
tions at Bow-street. His whole transactions im-
plied. a degree of insanity. He Was remanded to
safe . custody until another uay,... The prisoneris,
of French parents, but born in ellel j has been
•a French mariner and an English soldier, and
states himself to have rendered assistance to Go,
veinment.
