CONGRATULATORY VISIT OF THE CORPORATION•
His Royal Highness havir(g appointed Frid

morning, at 11 O'clock, to receive 'the visit of the
Mayor and commonalty, who had expressed their
wish to be admitted to his presence,—precisely at
that hour, R. Pridliam, Esq., the mayor, with most
of the capital burgessts, and many other members of
the corporation, arrayed in their robes of office, and
bearing before them the maces and other insignia of
municipal authority, attended at the hotel, and were
ushered into the presence, in the Prince's drawing-
room. The necessary introduction having taken
place, the Mayor, in a short address, begged to con-
gratulate his Royal Highness on his arrival at Ply-
mouth, and to assure him in the name of the corpo-
ration, and of the inhabitants generally, that they
considered it one of the highest honours they could
possibly have experienced, to have received a visit
from such an illustrious Prince; and further, that
he should have selected Plymouth as the place of
his embarkation : he most sincerely trusted that his
Royal Highness would experience a pleasant voyage,
and that he would arrive safe in his native country.
The address was repeated to the Prince in French
by Sir W. Fremantle, his Royal Highness not having
a perfect knowledge of the English language. The
Prince replied in French, which he speaks very flu-
ently, saying, in effect, that he felt the most heart-
felt satisfaction from the flattering and respectful
manner he had been received in Ply Mouth, and most
particularly from the respect now shown him by the
Mayor and Corporation; it was a circumstance he
should never forget. He felt a great partiality for
England, and the more he saw of it, the higher opi-
nion he entertained of the country and inhabitants,
In conclusion he again thanked them for their at
tention. •

The Mayor then introduced each gentleman indi-
vidually to his Royal Highness, who received them
with the greatest condescension and politeness. The
body then retired, being attended to the entrance of
the room by the Prince.
• His Royal Highness was dressed in full dress Por-
tuguese uniform, having five orders on his breast,
which he had put on expressly for the occasion, in
compliment to the corporation.
Admiral Lord Northesk, Sir John Cameron, and
the heads of the public departments were then intro-
duced to his Royal Highness, and about 12 o'clock
the coaches were ordered to the door, and the Prince,
attired as a private gentleman, attended by several of
hir suite, and preceded by the Admiral in his car-
riage, started off for the Dock-yard. His loyal
Highness's progress was
,marked by repeated salutes
from the citadel, batteries, and shipping.
The Royal Prince dined on Friday at Admiral
Lord Northesk's, where he met a most distinguished
party.

This day (Saturday) will be appropriated to visit
the other Government departments, shipping, &c.;
and on Sunday, wind and weather permitting, his
Royal Highness and suite will embark on board the
Pearla, Portuguese frigage, waiting in the Sound
to convey him to Lisbon.
