t'ar's Bush, now brougllt forward under the title
**f. The 111 Q-chant of f.;'ruges, was represented last
tight again at this-Theatre, before* as numerous
audience as on the preceding evenh:g, and
very well r,eceied, except towards the conclu-
sion, when a few discontented spirits raised a very
feeble opposition; but why we know not, as the
play tsas origitiawritten by two of onr stexiing
Dtamatic Mims, And'has been so ingeniously
Ziltvred as to exclude every thing offensive, and to
Leighten. the generz:l interest of the Piece.. The
'9l.9rin applause of the audience, however, in a
i),lotnent overcame this pitiful hostility. An Epi7
P(lpie writteurby the anthe- of the PrOlogue, was
tiven with spirit by Mr.IIARLEY.

AroauvAL OF THE QUEEN AT.BIZIGIITON.

Bstom Drx,,l4.—This day the High! ,
Con-
stable whl his HeadborOaghs, mountedu'ipop grey
horses, bearing. staffs P(oflice, and toliowerl by pn'
equestrl-an cavalcade, to•I he nmilliir of several hun-
dreds, moved forward io a regular of proLes-
sion, before 12 o'clock, from Alarlborofigli StcYne--
along the turnpike road to Pyecomb, near which
they were joined by Captain SUIFNEE'S troop of
yeomanry, and halted, to wait , the approach of
her MAJESTY.
At two o'clock a troop,of-the Ioth Royal
Hus-
sars, single files, took their station to the west-of
the road at the north entrance to the Palace, And
a Guard of Honour, with the British colours, and
the Band of the 55th infantry, faced them. The
Level; prior to this tone, had become the general
musterbig point• of. the town,. and before three
o'clock,., the inhabitants extended from the extre-•
miry, of the short line of military at the Pavilion,.
on each side of the road leadingito Preston, in
many places 20 or 30 deep, more than the distance -
of a mile, forming a xl•ide passage for carriages
and horses between them.. From the Pavilion to
Patcham, an orderly dragoon was placed at the
distance of about 200 yards from his comrades to.
the right and left, to convey the earliest notice of
the QUEEN'S approach to the town. . •
Soon after two o'clock, the Prince Regent, in
plain clothes, the Duke of Clarence, and several
Noblemen of, hiS unite, appeared between the milt-
tai-y at the Palace entrance, the gates-of which
were thrown open. Their Royal Highnesses Con-.
Linsied sometimes promenading the road within'
the wail, and sometimes that without, for seve-
ral hours. From two to five o'clock many arrivals
of importance took place,, including—

. ,
Prince EstiUliazy, the Austrian Ambassador, Count Lie-
yen, the-Russian Ambassador, the French and 'Prussian Am-
bassadors, the Earl of Liverpool, the 'MarchiOness of Salis-
bury, atils Lady GeOrgiana Cecil, &c. Count Lic•ven having
ali..!;hted from his carriage, was received by the Prince Rvg-e'nt
•at the Palace-gate. -General Sir W. Pane, Colonel Sir Loftus
Otway, and several Noblemen •and Gentlemen, had also the
honour of being received by his Royal Highness in this open
situation. . _ _

A few minutes before five- o'clock, the orderly
dragoons stationed to convey the earliest infor-
mation, came in at full speed, and took their sta-
tions with their. comrades. Huzzas now rent the
air, and hats were waved in all quarters. 'Four
of the toWn equestrians, at full speed, now dashed
(low': the street between the populace, and these
were followed, at a si ni or. pace, 13'" the YeoCminry
Cavalry, after whoir, came the carriage contain-
ing Ler Majesty, the Princesses Sophia and Mary,'
the Duke of Kent, and Lady Harringion, followed
by the High Const:able, Mr. W. Williams, and
liisHeadboroughs, and. the cavalcade. The Prince
was seen at the Palace-gate, as the bawl stnick ttp
the national authem of '' God save tire. King,"
and received her Majesty in the mosCrespectlut
:
Ono auectionate-manner.

Her illkjest's stay here is not t'xpeeted.to ex-

much-wished for arrival of her.Majestv, was y'es-
terday ‘vekostnt!ti 'on the part' of the inhabitants
ah»o,t to an extravaganeeof joy. Nothing-was'
omi!ted in point Of etiquette, to convince her Ma-
jesty of their respect .towards her and their grati-
- tilde to%vards her illustrious family. The morn-
ing was employed:in preparations, and forming;
the guard of honour, and in the evening, an equal
spit it of emulatioti prevailed in the illuminations
and 'various festive parCes.
A great assemblage of persons promenaded the
road here, which, with the numerous line of car-
fiiled with beauty and fashion, and crues-
tr tats _both- sexes, independently of the great
windier of licntlemen, as an escort to the Queen,
gave uncommon animation- to the whole scene ;
the effect of ‘vhieir was increased by the military
lining the road to the Pavilion gates,' and the- fine
muSic.of the Baud of the 55th regiment. The
anxious expectations for.the near approach of the
illustrious Party, was compensated by the gay
hustle prevailing the whole afternoon, and some
idea' may be formed from the list of arrivals dur-
ing the afternoon in carriages and 'four..
1-kr Majesty, the Princesses Augusta and Mary, the Dulie
of Kent-, the Marquis and Marchioness of Salisbury, the La-
dies Stanhope, Lord'St. Helen's; Lord Yarmouth, Lord Carl-
