'THE paiNcE REGENT, eta:

MIT G IiTONi AUG. B.—A mew/ peal froth the '
churen-hells announced the arrival of the PRINCE
REGENT here, •a few minutes before nitie o'clock
.on Friday evening. His Royal Highness was ac-
t outrank(' by the RI ht Hon.. Sir B. Bloomfield.
The Marquis ot Anglesey, Sir W. Keppel, Sir E.
Nagie, &c. had arrived earlier in the day, and,
with the Duke of York, received the Regent at
No. 8, Marlborough-rot", •the Pavilion, froM the
etxtension of the improkementS there, not being
in a condition for occupancy. The Regent, with
the Royal Doke,, the Marquis of Anglesey, &c.
.took dimmer soon after his arrival. As early as
!three o'clock yesterday morning, the Duke Of
TM k departed for Windsor, to receive the oh y-
ela us' Report upon the State of his Majesty's
Health, but his Royal Highness is expected to re-
itairti this evening.
Yesterday morning the Royal George yacht,
‘tthicie had come round to this station on Thurs.
d ay, two frigates, two armed brigs, and the Mar-
quis of Anglesey's, and other yachts, were all
'Ong as close in as safety would admit to
the shore, it being then known that the Regent
it 'tended to embark on board his yacht early
it 1 the afternoon. All ranks and descriptions
o f people, consequently, continued to assemble
aisout the south etift, of tire Steyne, the cliff
p Pranks, and on the 'beriCh, during tire morning:—
AA two P. M. the state'harge front the yacht run
it t, the rowers in which, sixteen in number, were
uoiformly dressed in blue jackets and trolvsers,
w ith red facings, giving something of a mi-
litary aspect to a nautical character. Time
w gather was lovely—a slight breeze from the
wo;st prevailed, and gently agitated the sur-
farm of the ocean. , Numerous pleasure-boats,
filled with fashionable parties, diversified the
scene on the water ; and time assemblage of spec- •
tat ors about the Strand was very numerous.
At two p.m. the Prince Regent, arm-in- artn with
the lion. Capt. Paget, and accompanied also by Sir
B. itlloomfield, Sir W. Keppel, Sir Edmund Nagle,
&C. left the Palace and crossed the Steyne for the
watt:t's edge, descending the road by Russell
House, amidst tire shouts anti acclamations of
the aurrounding populace. His Royal Highness
was babited inn a loose hime coat, white trowsers,
black. neckcloth and white hat. Ills countenance
was remarkably cheerful, and we never had the
pleastire to ht hold him in better apparent health.
The embarkation was effected in the easiest and
safest way ; his !loyal Iligliness.passed through a
bathing-machine, purposely run lion the water, and
stepped into the barge front the opposite opening.
The royal standard was now hoisted at the bow, and
which was the signal for the royal salutes front tire
shipping generally. These salutes were repeated on
the Regent's reaching the yacht, andwhen the royal
standard was shifted to rite main of the royal
George. The royal squildron now stood out for
the south-east, in which d,rection it was visible
in the evening, way!) weather equally favourable,
and tire breeze in the same quarter.
His Royal Highness's destination is not decided-
ly known here; some say the Scottish coat/,includ-
ing the honour of a visit to the Earl of Fife ; and
others affirm Portsmouth, where the Persian Am-
bassador is to be put on board ; the Isle of Wight,
Plymouth, &c.
Prince Esterhazy came in last night, and em-
barked in a gun-brig to follow and join the royal
squadron.
