le, the forenoOn'of the ryh instant, his Majesty
after the Review, accompanied by her Majesty, vi-
, sited the apartments designed for the, Emperor of
Russia; and both their Majesties expressed in
the most gracious terms their satisfaeftion at the
• very excellent manner in which they were sfitted
up. To shew honour to the distinguished visitors,
the town has had two triumphal arches eretr.ted ;
one before the Gate of Liebate, representing a
portico, the entablature of Walt was supported
by four groups of pillars, and iii the frize the
inscription : Alexandra et Frederica
a Deo jun Bis civitas. In the middle of the attic
were the arms of the town ; a Savage leaning On
an Anchor, wreathed with flowers. The other
triumphal entry, at the end of Linden-street, was
formed by two obelisks entwined with garlands of
flowers, one bearing the Russian, the other the
Prussian flag. On the toth His Imperial Majesty
arrived, under the name of a " Comte de Russie,"
at Polangen, the last frontier town of Russia, three
(German) miles hence, where he was received by
Comte Kalkreuth, General of Cavalry, who ac-
companied his Majesty to the entrance of the town.
On the way from Polangen to Bommels, half a
mile off, where the Royal State Coach with eight
horses was. ready to receive him, he was accom-
panied by several piquers of Hussars, placed there
for the purpose, and thence to the town by a Squae
dron of Dragoons, and by the Merchants' Guard of
this place. His Majesty did not accept the State
Coach, but remained in his chariot, attended only
by an Adjutant. His Imperial Majesty had put
on the Insignia of the Order of the Black, Eagle.
He was saluted from the camp with too guns.—
His Majesty the King, ornamented with the Rus-
sian Order of St. Andrew, rode in the mean time
on horseback, about a quarter of a mile from the
town. On perceiving the Emperor's chariot, his
Majesty dismounted, as did the Emperor likewise,
and the two illustrious Personages welcomed and
embraced each other. The Emperor then mount-
ed one of the King's led horses, and the two IVlo-
narchs rode side by side, followed by their united
suites (all on horseback) into the town. From the
gate of Liebau to the house of the merchant Lorck,
were placed two rows of chosen men from the Re_
giments Reinhardt and Schoning, and from the
'Grenadier Battalion Bulow. Before the house of
Mr. Lorck, where the King and Queen were
lodged, her Majesty, the Queen, came to meet the
illustrious guest, and surprized hirn with an embrace,
which the Emperor returned, by pressing her Ma-
jesty's hand to his lips. He remained to dinner
with their Majesties, and about four o'clock, ac-
companied by the Royal Princes, ,Kent to his apart-
ments of the Merchant Glagon's, in Linden-street.
Before entering, his Imperial Majesty passed twice
before the Guard of 57,2, men and four Officers, and
inspeded the Grenadiers, with visible satisfaction..
He then presented Major Von Billow with a gold
snuff box, set in pearls, and each of the Officers
commanding the guard, with a gold ditto, and each
private with a ducat. He conversed much with
Major Von Bulow, concerning the arming and
equipment of the Prussian Grenadiers,
,and re-
quested that the greatest part of the Guard might
be dismissed, wnich • was immediately complied
with, only fifty men being left for this purpose.
His Imperial Majesty passed the evening also with
their Majesties—the bands of three regiments per-
forming Turkish musk before the house all the
time. On Friday Morning he was present at the
Review, at the end of which his Majesty the King
placed himself at the-head of the infantry, saluted
the Emperor, and then rejoined him, on , which
the whole line passed before the two Sovereigns.—
The Emperor dined again with the King, and after-
wards both, accompanied by the Queen, who rode
between them, all three on horseback, took a ride
to the camp, anvil afterwards through a great part
of the town. This morning early (Saturday) the
troops were again exercised to the great satisflaion
of their Majesties. To please the Queen, the Em-
peror had ordered 20 cossacks, commanded by Co-
lonel Eaton, and 3 Officers from Polangen, to the
camp, where they went through the manuvres •
peculiar to them in riding and fighting with great.
dexterity. The King presented the Commander -
with a brilliant ring and a gold snuff-box, each of
the Officers a gold snuff-box, and each cossack four
Frederics d'or. To-day their Majesties have again
dined together; and in the evening are expefted to
honour with their presence a Ball, given by the
company of merchants trading abroad. The pro-
prietor of the house where his Imperial Majesty is
lodged, receives 200 roubles per diem. The price
of all provisions is immensely risen. Tbe Ladies
of the Prussian Court have had the honour of a
visit from the Empercr tinder the name of Comte
de Russie. Their Royal Highnesses the Princes
Henry and William, the King's brothers, have
received from him the Russian Order of St. An-
drew, and different Noblemen of the Court other
Russian Orders ; in like manner the King has ho-
noured several persons of the Russian Court. His
Imperial Majesty affirmed lie had never passed such
agreeable days as in Memel; and at the request of
their Majesties consented to prolong his stay ano-
ther day.
