• THE KING'S BANQUET.
.Thursday evening hiS InAjEs'ry had a nume-
rous and grand dinner party, at his Palace in
Pall:mall, given principally to the Foreign
Princes and others of distinction, sent here on
special missions from the different. Sovereigns and
Governments to be present at the king's Coro-
nation. To meet them all the Foreign Ainbassa-
dors and Ministers were invited, as were their
Royal Highnesses the Dukes of York, Clarence,
and Cambridge ; the Marquess. of Londonderry,
as Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs ; the
Duke of Wellington, as being personally known
to many of the distinguished Foreigners from his
long residence abroad. 'The Duke of Montrose
was in attendance on the King.—The State
Rooms were opened on the occasion, in which
the Royal Banquet was supplied. The Pages
and other attendants appeared in their-state uni-
forms; the livery servants in their state liveries.—
The Royal and distinguished party broke up a
little before eleven o'clock, when his Majesty
and his distinguished guests proceeded to honour
Prince Esterhazy with their company at his
splendid party.

PRINCESS I:TERHAZI"S BALL AND SUPPER.
Princess EsTEnnuy gave one of the most ele
pant balls of the season on Thursday evening, al
Chandos House, Cavendish-square.—Such an
assemblage of Princes has not been witnessed
since the late Sovereign came to the Throne of
these realms. There were no less than thirty-two
scions of the reigning Houses in Europe.—The
magnificent suite of drawing-rooms were most
brilliantly illuminated ; the principal one was
fitted up with unique taste for dancing : the
whole of them were decorated with shrubs and
the choicest flowers. His MAJESTY having sig-
nified his intention of honouring her Serene
high-
ness with his company, arrived about a quarter
past eleven o'clock in his private carriage, ac-
companied by Sir BENJAMIN BLOOMFIELD, and
was received by her Serene highness on alight-
ing from his carriage, who conducted him to the
ball-room, where he was most rapturously received.
His Majesty was attired in a full Austrian Field
Marshal's dress, and wearing various orders.
Dancing then commenced with a quadrille, led
off by Lord Viscount Cranborne and the Prin-
cess Paul Esterhazy. The supper, which con.
sisted of every delicacy in season, was announced
about half-past one. His Majesty took his leave'
at half-past two. We are gratified to state that
he looked extremely well, and was in high spirits.
There were nearly four hundred persons of the
first rank and distinction present ; to enumerate
them would be to name all the leading per-
sonages in town : of the Royal FamiCy—his
Royal Highness the Duke of York, the Duke
and Duchess of Clarence, the Duke of Cam-
bridge, her Royal Highness Princess Augusta,
and her Royal Highness Princess Sophia of
Gloucester.
Duke of WELLINGTON's Banquet to the KING.
His Grace gave a most sumptuous entertain-
ment yesterday to his Majesty and a party of 40
other distinguished personages. At half-past
seven the company sat down to one of the most
judiciously arranged dinners ever seen, consisting
of turtle and venison, served up on the last new
service of plate, in the great ball or saloon,
which has been recently erected at the east end
of Apsley-house. To meet his Majesty the fol-
lowing attended :
Their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of York, Clarence, and
Cambridge ; the Princes Nicholas and Paul Esterhazy ; Duke
of Devonshire, Duke of Montrose, Count Stackelbonrg, Duke
de Grammont, lilarauis of Londonderry, Baron Fagel, Earls

His Majesty was attended on leaving Carlton
Palace by the Master of the Horse and the
Master of the Robes, and escorted by a nume-
rous party of the Royal Horse Guards,of which
the Duke of Wellington is Colonel. His Ma-
jesty's entrance into his carriage was announced
by the sound of trumpets, which soon collected
a number of persons into Pall Mall in expecta-
tion of the pleasure of seeing the King, in which
gratification they were however disappointed, as
it was previously arranged to proceed through
the Parks to the Duke of Wellington's house,
which is tlfe corner of Hyde Park.--His Majesty
was also expected to honour the Duke de Gram-
moues Grand Entertainment last night given at
