THE PRINCE Ruattirs MIRTH-DAY.

The Grand Fite given by the Countess Dowag:.r
of CARDIGAN, in honour of the Anniversary of
the Birth of the PRINCE REGENT, at her house on '
Richmond-hill, has been in preparation for six
weeks past, in which artists HMI various other
persons have been employed, combined with the
Noble Countess's taste, and in which an expvnce
or exertion was spared to snake the entertainment
the most splendid that could be given, and worthy
the honour of out individual, having nearly the
whole of the Royal Family tinder her root at the
same time, and combining with it the gratifica-
tion of celebrating the ParNCE RecietaT's Birth-
Day. The Right Hon. the Lotto MaYoa,who in-
tended to have given a silver cup to he rowed for,
in honour of the day, at Teddingtoo, was in-
duced to defer his tete, lest it should interfere with
Lady Cardigan's ; and gave a dinner and ball on
board the City barge, in which he proceeded from
Kew to near Richmond Bridge, opposite her
Ladyship's grounds. Viscount Sidmouth gave
permission for the carriages to drive into Rich-
mond Park ; and a covered way was fitted up
tram the western gates to the grand ball, which
resembled an illuminated kind of shrubbery ; the
,floor of this entrance %vas covered with grey cloth.
Tippo6 Saib's tents were pitched on the lawn,
anti in these splendid tents the greater part of the
company were regaled. The lawn, commanding
a prospeCt at once varied and extensive, was ena-
melled with flowers of the choicest kind. IVithin
the largest: of -the tents were two tables, laid
out for sixty-tour persons each ; and the smaller
tent had also two tables for fifty each. Pyra-
mids with the letters G. P. R. were exhibited on
them, and Waterloo trophies. Both tables were
burdened with cold viands long before the coin-
pally came. Even the house iself was adapted
to the honours of the day ; for the drawing-room
was, fitted up as a dining-room, anti vice verda,
the dining-room note became a drawing-room,
There vir•re two chairs in the dra,siag-room, coin-
maadiag the lawn art astueiitents, pro•idetl for the'
Prince Regent and the Q',-en. Ticket, were is-
sued for about 40 persons at I he Queen's table.
The compaay began to arrive soon aftt-r two
o'clock ttuA continued arriving till tour; the
Prince Re.;:ent and the Queen, who were received
with acclamations by the people. came last.
Princess Charlotte and Prince Leopold came in
an open carriage. The company now otl:7,ed
their congratulations to her Majesty and the
Prince Regent on the return of flys auspicious
day. Atter they had reciprocally paid their re-
spects-to the Prince Regent, ttie Princess Char-
lotte and Prince Leopold went back to Claremont,
not stopping to dinner, which was served tip at
quarter-past tour o'clock oti the Queen's table.
All the members et the Royal Family were in ex-
cellent health ; and the baud of the Ist regiment
of Foot Guards played to them Upoti the health of
the Prince Regent being dratik,.a Royal salute was
fired from the lawn, waich was answered by an-
other from the Lord Mayor's barge on the river.
The dessert was served up in the highest style.
After dinner, the company were amused
by promenading the. -different walks ; and as
the Countess of Cardigan had permission to
open a passage from her own grounds to those of
the Marquis Wellesley, the Royal Party and the
company took that direction. On the approach
of the Regent and Queen towards the bank of the
Thames, the Lord Mayor's band immediately
struck up God save the King. The Royal Family,
having taken their s mint' on the lower side of the
green hank, the Lord Mayor gave orders to drop
his baree down opposite to them, which being
done, his Lordship came on deck in the front of
his company, with the Lady Mayoress leaning on
his right arm, took off his hat, and bowed most re-
spectfully. The Prince and the Queen condescend-
ed to acknowledge this marked attention. The
Lady Mayoress and 'he females eourtesied ; and
theGetit ;eaten of the Lord Mayor's party then gave
nine Cheers. This was repeated by those in boats
and by the numerous and respectable assemblage
on both shorts; and was also acknowledtied by
the Queen courtesying, and di,. Regent taking off
his hat and bowing The city barge stoic took
its former station, and the merry dance com-
menced upon deck with a most charming country
dance. The Royal Family and the company re-
mained some time viewing the dance. They left
' this delightful spot soor after seven o'clock, and
returned to the house. The Ladies wore generally
white satin bats, or caps. The Prince Regent, and
tuna of theGetstlemen, «ore the morning Windsor
uniform. Esrl Bathurst wore his star, as a Knight
of the Order of the Garter, for the first time.—
The Noble Earl came front Chi I ester, expressly
to attend the celebration of the Regent's Birth-
day. The room in which the Royal Family
had dined was cleared, and arranged for dancing.
Mr. Paine, w ith a most excellent band, was in
readiness ; and as soon as her Majesty had taken
her seat, the dancing was commenced by the ju-
nior branches of the distinguished personages
present, consisting of the Ladies Stanhope, Lady
Bathurst, and others. They commenced with a
quadrille; the second was a waltz ; atid the third
a waltz. Tea, coffee, and a satiety of refreshments,
were served up in' great abundance. • The Queen
retired to the adjoining room, to amuse herself
with a game at commerce. None of the Royal
Family danced. The Prince Regent called for bii
favourite dance, Gang nee mair to yon town.—
