THE ILLUSTRIOUS luarroas:

al PORTSMOUTH, Mt 14.
" he' Emperor of Rtissia and. the Kihg of Prussia
did hot arrive in thee oh Wednetd ty evening to be
present at the Goverdshent House at the dinner of
the Print* Regent. which was attehded by a very
large party of the Prince's suite, and Naval and Mi-
litary Officert The illustrious Visitors drove directly
em their entry to the houses prepared for their recep-
Non ; the Ettlperor and his Sister, to CommisSioner
Grey's,. In the Dock-Yard; and the Prussian King
and Prineet, to the Lieutenant-Governor, General
Houston's. They cur in so late, that they had no
oppottunity of witnessing the interesting appearance
ot the road, thronged by the people of Hampshire,
eager to behold them. The universal hilarity ot the
illuminated towns of Portsmouth and Portsea coati.
nued to a very late hour.
" Early yesterday morning, every body was in the
streets. Royal standards floated in the air, over the
Parade, the Ordnance-house, the Blockhouse Fort,
the Hospital of Haslar, the main-top of the Impreg-
nable, and the turret of the Dock-yard, which last
was a beautiful silk flag, hoisted for the first time.
The troops were dtawn our in front of the Govern-
ment House, and parties of dragoons paraded from
thence to the Dock-gates. The Prince Regent got
into hii carriage, under a discharge from the battety,
at half.past nine o'clock, with the Duke of York, and
"drove to the residence of the Emperor, whither the
King and Princes of Prussia, the Duke of Saxe Wei-
mar, &c. shortly after repaired. The illustrious as-
semblage walked from thence about eleven to. the
place of embarkation, where the Naval Procession,
headed by the Duke of Clarence as Admiral of the
Fleet. was in readiness to receive them.
" The procession commenced with men of war's
barges, commanded by Captains, clearing the way.
The Admiralty barge, with its characteristic ensign,
came first, and was followed by the Royal barge, with
the Royal standard, and two other barges, one hoist-
Mg the Russian flag of yellow, with the Black Spread
Eagle ; the other of white, with the Sable Eagle of
Prussia. The King'swatermen rowed them in their
uniforms, with their gold-laced caps. They contain-
ed the Regent, the Emperor, the Duchess of Olden-
burgh, the Princess Volkowski, the King of Prussia,
his sons and relatives, many German Princes, and the
suites of the three Royal persons. The Rcgentwore
a full dress naval uniform, with his various stars ; the
Emperor of Russia his own uniform of deep green,
faced with scarlet ; aed the King of Prussia blue
regimentals. The DUchess of Oldenburgh wore a
straw-coloured pelisse. These were folloseed by a
gnat number of boats, containing Knitters of
State, Public Officers, and Foreign Wan iors, and
hoisting the col .urs denoting the various branches
of public service to which ihey belong.
$1 Arrived at the destined spot, the procession pur-
sued its trackless course ail along the line of the men
of war (of which several additional ones had c•me ih,
last night and to-day ), amid a Irtetal salute of 4tt
guns iron each ship. It turned back again, and stop-
ped at the Impregnable, when the paelit.ltes, &c.
ascended the stair, which was lined with green cloth,
and ornamented with the Royal standard, the IS ',ion,
and various other P.ags, and pasae from the deck
into the cabin. The ships' ) ardi were ill fully man-
ned, and the loud cheerings of the crews, end of the
countless company in the surrounding boats. emu-
lated the roar of the cannon. The Duke of Clarence
hicl,Preeionsty gone on tend to welcome the Visi-
tors—a short interval elapsed after their going on
board, v..hen the universal shout for the Emperor
Alexander Imaight his Imperial Majesty to the en-
tering•port, where he stood scme minutes, bossing
very graciously and gracefully to the surrounding
spectators. Similar calls took place for the Pnissiaii
Monarch, the Prince Regent, the Dochess of Olden 2
burg, the Dukes of York, Clarence, and Carol:ridge,
die Prussian Princes, and she Lords of the Admi-
ralty ; all of whom, with the most condesceeding
grace and good nature, made their appearance, and
received and returned the salute of John Bull.

"Another grand salute was then fired, mixed with
the general applause, and the cheerings of the ships'
companies, in which the'Prince Regent heartily join.
ed: Distinct discharges had been made on the arrival
of his koyal Highness, the Emperor, and the King.
Quickly atter getting on board, the Party proceeded
to explore the skip, each as he pleased. 'lie Regent
was very curisus and attentive. The King of Prussia
examined much, and appeared a very careful ob-
server. Alexander lost•no time. He left the main
deck, and went about the ship alone for a while.—
He then took his Illustrious Sister with him, and de-
icended to the place where the crew were receiving
their allowance of grog at twelve o'clock. He madr
enquiries concerning it, and asked what quantity of
water was added to the rum ? Being told that the
proportion of water was as six to one, a tar observed
that it would be no Worse for being stronger. Alex.
ander requested the usual allowance, and drank it
off reedit), smiling, and adding his approbation of
the liquor, which, said his Majesty, in very intelligi-
ble English, '4 You call grog, and I think it very
good." He had a smaller quantity poured out for
the Duchess of Oldeaburgh, who drank it with mpch
good humour. The men were ordered an extra'al-
lowance. Alexander then went into a marine's. birth
(of about eleven), who were at dinner. He seated
himself by theni, and took a portion of their mess.—
He then pulled out a sum of money, and lett it with
the company, bidding them 66 good bye." He did
the same thing in crossing from Driver, where he gave
the Marines coin worth about se.so. The Sons of the
King of Prussia also drank grog with the men with
much satisfattion.
" By this time a grand colla,:on was ready in the
cabin, where a most superb display el the Regent's
plate decorated the tables. Admiral Blackwood,
Captain of the Fleet, and Captain Adam, Captain of
the ship, did the table honours to this exalted party.
.Tihere were about forty naval officers at the enter-
'tainnient. The Regent's servants attended in full
liveries. On coming again on deck, nothing conld
exceed the satifaction of the guests. The surround.
ing scene was unique t it was a real panorama of the
most remarkable and magnificent kind. It might
not be hazarding too mach to say, that it was never
equalled.
'6 On kaving the Impregnable, salutes were again
fired for the Regent, the Emperor, and the King,
followed by a general salute. The Regent, the King.

sad Princes of Prnssia, &c. landed at the sally-pert.
..nd went to she Government- House. The Empea,ir
-nd his Sister landed at the Dock-yard, where they
were-received by crowds on the jetty. The -King of
Prussia, &c. &c. went lta. to their residences and
the !whole's:arty repaired to the U ,vernment-House,
'at eight o'clock, to another grand banquet given by
the Rege,,t to near 150 persons.
" After the amusements of the d iy had doted
with the setting sun, an event occurred which gave
fresh life to the town. A coach, drawn by eight
horses, drew t.p at the Crown Inn, or Clarence H-eel,
and who should alight but the gallant Blucher! He
was identified on alighting from the carriage, and on
no occasion in London was the populace more nume-
rous, and the eagerness to grasp his hand by both
sexes was unparalleled. " Blucher, Blucher," fiiled
the air. " Shew me the conqueror of the tyrant,
Come forward, Blitcher.'" The gallant veteran ap-
peared at the window with his accustomed cheerfal-
ness ; the air was rent with applause, and it was se-
veral minutes before the disputants could agree, whe-
ther silence immediate was repectlul. Lungs cart ied
the day, and when the roar was out, the General, in
English, with a bumper In his hand, drank the health
of the company. We leave the Reader to judge in
what manner this toast was returned.
The pepulace became appeased, and soon after
a carriage drew up, and was immediately surrounded.
Blucher got into it in haste. A party of sailors
shored in, and swore they would " be true to a gaod
Commander." Up Mounted half a dozen, and at this
time an escort of dragoons, previously stopped by the
crowd, and consequently kept back, appeared. Au-
thority kept the sailors in motion. and up lumped
Nell a dozen. Some sot off by accident, but two
kept their stations. Ihe GOvernMent House was a-
few hundred yards distant, and the two s illors.elated
as men of war's men by victory, danced on the top
of Blucher's carriage.
This day the Prince Regret proposes to re-
ceive the congratulations of the Mayor and Corpora-
tion of POUsmouth, after which the workmen are to •
copper a ship in two hours; next a ,review of the mi-
litary, and then another aquatic excursion. To-mor-
row (Saturday) Ids. Royal Highne-s will breakfast
with the Duke of Richmond at Goodwood. The
Allied Sovereigns will not visit London again, but
embark for Holland in a few days.".

" To the inerpressible regret of the inbahitantii
and a vast concourse of visitors collected to behold
them, the Allied Sovereigns will not, it is feared, pass
through this place. At a late hour last night, court- •
terorders were received for the troops and horses,
which had arrived in the course of the day, to return
to Battle, and chit morning, at an early hoot, they
left us for that place, to await further orders. It is
in consequence inferred that the route of the Royal
Party Will be nearly as fdlows trom Portsmouth to
Arundel Castle, thence to Brighton, where they are
expected to spend a day. From thence it is now said
they will proceed by way of Lewes, HAilsham, Ash-
hurnham, and Battle, to Rye, and thence continue
their route along the coast to Inver or Deal. The
two Royal Yachts, with the Jason fi ;gate, the Swinger
sloop, and other vessels, are pow in our roads, and
making.ep Chattnel for the I)owns—Wind N td.W.
The whole country for many miles round exhibits si •
scene of Imprecedented bustle and anxiety."
