ME PRINCE REGENT, &c:

POETSMOUTIT, Friday.—The Royal Yacht and
her convoy are still at Spithead. During his late
cruise, it was the practice of the PRINCE REGENT
to breakfast with Sir William Keppel alone, and
to devote several hours of each forenoon to the
dispatch of public business. With the assistance
of Sir William, his Royal Highness regularly
perused and answered all official communications
and State Papers, before he entered into the mi-
nor considerations of the day. The Prince Re-
gent was attended only by Sir William Keppel and
Sir Benjamin Bloomfield, when he stepped into
his open travelling carriage for Chichester, where
he purposed to make a short visit on his way to
London, after landing here from his yacht on
‘Vettriestlay last. His Royal Highness has ex-
pressed an intention, it is stated, of renewing his
marine trips on the 15th of next month. By that
period the little fleet is to re-assemble at Brigh-
ton, where the Prince Regent is again to embark,
for the purpose of proceeding to the Port of Ply-
mouth to inspect the Breakwater. When lately
off Weymouth, his Royal Highness is said to
have been much affected at viewing the represen-
tation of his Majesty carved on the Downs, to
the eastward of the town. The likeness of the
King on horseback, is traced most strikingly,
and the person by whom it was originally done is
reported to enjoy a pension of 1001. a year for
keeping it in preservation. The return of the
Prince Regent is looked for with impatience, and
will ,be bailed with feelings of gratitude and ve-
neration. The Vengeur sailed this morning, the
Ily,,erion follows in a day or two. Our town is
yet full of company.

THE PRINCE REGENT'S COURT.—Yesterday his
Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT received, at
Carlton-house his Royal highness the Duke of
York, the Prince Esterhazy, the Russian Ambas-
sador, the Hanoverian Minister, the First Lord of
the Treasury, and the Secretaries of State for the
Home and Foreign Departments. The Count
Capo d'lstria, the Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs to the Ernperor of Russia was introduced
to the Prince Regent by Count Lieven and Vis-
count Castlereagh. The Count was admitted to
the honour of a closet audience of his Royal
Highness, and was most graciously received. The
Count and his Excellency were dressed in full
Russian uniforms, and came to Court in his Ex-
cellency's state carriage, the servants wearing
their State liveries. The Prince Regent gave au-
diences to Prince Esterhazy, the Earl of Liver-
pool, Viscoont Sidmouth, and Lord Castlereagh.
On Wednesday last the PRINCE REGENT dined
with the Earl of ARRAN, at his seat, Bognor-
Lodge, Bognor Rocks, in his route from Cowes
to town.

A Supplement to the Gazette was published yes-
terday evening, containing Dispatches frotuludia,
which furnish interesting details of military ope-
rations. They will be found in another part of
our Paper.
