THE XI VG'S DRAWING-ROOM.

The West-end of the town yesterday presented a
spectacle not less gratifying to every patriotic feeling
than pleasing to the mere lover of shew and amuse-
ment. The homage of such a Nobility and Gentry as
those of Great Britain to their Sovereign cannot be paid
without having in itself an air of grandeur; but the
cfrect is incalculably heightened by the blaze of female
beauty and the embellishments of combined wealth
and elegance. The present Drawing-room had ex-
cited an extraordinary ince, est. The streets leading to
the Palace presented a scene of extraordinary animation;
aid the visitors of the Court ceased to be the only, and
;,;most ceased to be the principal objects of attraction.
N„t only were the foot-ways crowded with well-dressed
merry people of various ranks, but even the carriage-way
seas hill of spectators, amongst whom was no inconsi-
d,able portion of respectable women. The univer-
sal opinion amongst these gazers seemed to be, that
they had by far the best of the amusements of the day.
Tile windows and balconies too were occupied by as
many lookers-on ac they could conveniently hold ; and
from one end of St. James's-street to the other was a
string of pi ivate carriages containing families who came
to see the shew without mingling in the bustle. The
whole presented an aspect of liveliness, ease, opulence,
and comfort, not to be paralleled in any other city in the
world. In the early part of the day, some apprehensions
were civet wined that the KING would be unable to re-
ceive the company, which was arriving in such great
numbers; but these fears happily proved to be ground.
less. In spite of the remains of indisposition, his MAJESTY
went through the ceremonies of the reception with his
wonted glace, dignity, and politeness.
As the KING'S
Birth-day had been already cele-
brated, the public demonstrations of loyalty usual on
that occasion were of course out of the question, and
the procession of the Mail-coaches was the only dis-
play of that kind which we observed had been re-
served for yesterday.
Yesterday his Majesty's Drawing-room, which has
been postponed several times from unavoidable circum-
stances, to celebrate the King's Birth-day, took place at
the King's Palace, St. James's, which is the first Court
tier has been held there for upwards of ten years,
although the suite of rooms called the State-rooms, for
holding Courts, are allowed to be the best in this or any
other country for that purpose, not only from their spa-
dons size, but their convenient arrangements for the'
cempany entering and departing.
The State-rooms, and the rooms adjoining them, were
occupied at one time for some months as barracks by a
portion of the Guards : they afterwards underwent a
slight repair, and the celebrated tapestry was taken
eown to be cleaned ; this was said to be for the purpose
of the late P:incess Charlotte receiving company, had
she recovered' from her accouchement. There was
scarcely any furniture remaining ; the only seats were,
a few old-fashioned stools; there wee no lights al-
lowed; the King was known to have signed official do-
cuments by the light of a fire. His present Majesty,
than Prince of Wales, when at Court, inquired the cause
of there not being any candles, and on being informed
that none were allowed, expressed his displeasure.
The exterior inconveniences of the old Palace were
vet), great. The entrance for the general company by
the great gates opposite St. James's-street was attended
with considerable confusion in general, the turn from
St. James's being so very short, and it was very un-
pleasant to the Nobility and Gentry coming to Court,
particularly to the females, as they were exposed to the
fall of weather, and the wind from various quarters;
and among the rest of the unpleasantries, they were sub-
ject to the rude (to use no other coarse term) observa-
tions of the spectators, who were numerously admitted
in those days. At the entrance for those entitled to the
enue, or what may be termed the first Levee for the
Royal Family, the Foreign Ambassadors and Ministers,
the Cabinet Ministers, the Great Officers of State, and
other Official Gentlemen, or those who have been in
office, &c. the King's permission to retain their privi-
lege of the entte being granted on leaving office, if
asked for—one of the principal inconveniences was a
narrow staircase, only wide enough fur one person to
pass, for which a spacious staircase is substituted.—
Rooms and convenient avenues have been built for
those distinguished personages to wait for their ser-
vants and cat riages. The yard for their carriages has
teen increased to above double the size, by pulling down
a range of buildings which were occupied by persons
hiding situations in the Palace; and a gallery above
them, connecting the Duke of Cumberland's residence
with the state-rooms of the Palace. What used to be
called the Lord Steward's Court, from the Board of
Green Cloth being in it, and the Kitchen Court, now
form one open space. Such an arrangement was pro-
bably absolutely necessary, from the circumstances of
ijs present Majesty having increased the entre list so
mush, that there would not have been room sufficient
fur their carriages. The entrance for the general com-
pany is much improved both in convenience and com-
i4t, by the wall of Mat thorough-house and the King's
(ietman Chapel : they will alight from their carriages
eirect under a colonnade, where there are also rooms
and coveted ways, with fires for the company to wait
I,)r their servants and carriages. The two staircases,
(,re of which is solely appropriated fur those who have
the privilege of the enure, are of white stone. The
gallery through which those who have the entre are to
pass is supported by marble pillars, the cornices of
which are gilt. It is to be lighted, when required, with
Grecian lamps, placed on pedestals. The first room
teach the company entered was the Guard Chamber,
%%Lids, together with the whole suite of rooms, has un-
dergone a thorough repair, new beautified, and deco-
eited so completely, that there is scarcely a vestige of
old appearance of the rooms remaining. All the
rooms have had new stoves, to correspond with, and
agreeable to the fitting up or splendour of the rooms,
el. appropriate fenders and fire-irons. The beautiful
aeu delicate marble chimney-pieces have been cleaned
;it'd polished, so as to have the appearance of new.—
Over the fireplace of the guard-chamber is a complete
~nit of armour, of polished steel, with a sword in the
:ight hand. There are a variety of portions of armours
eistriouted in various parts of the room. There are
;11:.0 a great number of muskets, pistols, swords, dirks,
..:aggers, &c. formed into various devices, after the man-
err of the distribution of the celebrated armoury in the
Tee et of London. In the centre is a bronze lamp, with
`;!ecian burners. The next room is the old Presence
tenonber, with the celebrated tapestry,having six lamps.
The next room is the Privy Chamber, adjoining the
'ate King's Levee Loom, both of which, together with
ale remainder of that east-wing which escaped the con-
ti4wation of the fire, are thrown into one, forming one
spacious room. In this room is a large looking-glass,
ex.ending hum the top to the bottom of the room,

which faced the company ak boon as they left the grand
staircase and entered the guard-chamber. At the east
end of the room is a painting of King George 11. in his
Parliamentary robes. The room contains stools and
seats covered with crimson velvet. Large pictures of
Tournay and Lisle. In the centre is a large or-molu
lustre, containing two rows of lights of three branches
each. Two large candelabras, elegantly gilt, at each
end, for twelve lights each. n the next room is an ex-
cellent full-length portrait of his late Majesty King
George HI. in the robes of the Order. On each side

are representations of the celebrated Sea Fights by Lord
Howe, on the Ist of June, and by Lard Nelson, at Tra-
falgar. In this room there are three large pier glasses,
teaching from the top to the bottom, with marble
slabs of proportionate height. In the centre is a large
massive or-molu lustre. The nest state room, in which
the King held his Drawing-room, has a throne, which,
for elegance, splendour, and magnificence, is supposed
never to have been excelled, if equalled ; and far, very
far exceeds that in the House of Lords: on the inside
of the top of the canopy is a remarkably fine large star.
There are three steps for his Majesty to ascend, with a
most splendid State chair and a foot-stool of crimson
velvet to correspond. Over the fire-place is a full-
length likeness of his present Majesty in one of his co-
ronation robes, with the fore-finger of his right hand
pointing to the crown, which is close to it. On each
side of the picture are representations of the battles of
Vittoria and Waterloo; in the former the Duke of
Wellington is the principal prominent figure, mounted
on a white charger, wearing a large white mantle. In
the latter picture his Grace is also the principal pro-'I
mment figure, mounted on a fine bay horse, and wear•
ing a blue mantle. There are three large glasses in the'
piers in this room, also, entirely filling up the piers.
There are marble slabs before the glasses, which have
brass rods to guard the glasses from being broken. The
curtains are of crimson satin, with gold coloured fringe
and lace. The rooms increase in splendour, magni-
ficence, and elegance, from the first, till the arrival at
the room in which his Majesty held his Drawing-room,
to receive the compliments and congratulations of his
loving subjects.
Behind the Throne is a room, which was part of an
apartment occupied by one of the Maids of Honour,
and in which the New Year's Ode and the Birth-day
Ode used to be performed by the King's baud, the door
being open at the time close to the Throne. It is now
his present Majesty's closet to give audiences in; to re-
ceive the Foreign Ambassadors, the Cabinet Ministers,
the Great Officers of State, and the different branches
of his own illustrious family. This is fitted up in an
elegant and appropriate mariner. Beyond this room is
the King's dressing or private room, into which the
King enters from the garden.
The company retired from the presence of the Sove-
reign by a different route. On their leaving the Draw-
ing-room, they turned to the left, and passed through
a gallery which led them to the grand staircases, with-
out passing through the other rooms. In these rooms
there are seats for the company, in case they have to
wait for their servants and carriages.
Another roo-n belonging to this spacious suite of
rooms, which has undergone a complete change, is one
which was not opened yesterday, it not being a court-
room; it was the old ball-room, but has been entirely
new-modelled, for the purpose of a supper-room, for a
series of entertainments, which it is understood his
Majesty intends giving, and for which purpose a cola- ,
munication has been made with it and the old kitchen.
The room is of a white ground, richly gilt in compart-
ments of various dimensionsv The ceiling has twelve
perforated ornaments. It has five large or-molu los-
tres, that in the centre particularly brilliant and splendid.
The whole of the fitting-up is in a very novel style, and
is said to excel in magnificence anything of the kind
that has ever been seen.
The Duchess of Northumberland came in a most
splendid chair, preceded by four footmen in new superb
liveries.

The doors were opened at one o'clock, when the
company were admitted with great dispatch; as many
as five carriages set down at the same time, at the new
entrance opposite to the King's German Chapel ; they
continued to arrive in such peat numbers, that by two
o'clock, although the Privy Chamber has been so consi-
derably enlarged, that room, the Presence Chamber,
and the Guard-room, wete completely filled, and in a
short time after the whole of the spacious staircase was
completely blocked up. They continued to arrive in
crowded numbers till half-past three o'clock.
The different branches of the Royal Family, who en-
tered by the military yard, were received with the
band playing " God safe the King." The Duchess of
Kent and the Princess Sophia Matilda came in state.
His Majesty slept at the Palace on Wednesday night.
At two o'clock the Duke of York, the Duke and Duchess
of Clarence, the Princess Augusta, Princess Sophia Ma-
tilda, Prince Leopold, and also Prince Leittingen, were
admitted into the royal closet to the presence of the
King. At twenty-five minutes past two o'clock, his
Majesty left his royal closet, and entered his principal
drawing-room, and received those entitled to the entree,
consisting of the Foreign Ambassadors and Ministers,
the Cabinet Ministers, the Great Officers of State, and
others. The Foreign Ambassadors and Ministers pre-
sent were—the Prussian, Portuguese, Danish, Ameri-
can, Russian, Swedish, French, Neapolitan, Baden,
Hessian, and Wurtemberg, and Mr. Colphoun, Consui
General for the Hans Towns. The Russian Ambassador
came in state, as did Prince Polignac, the French Am-
bassador, accompanied by Mr. S. A. Billing, C.T. Roth,
and Count Alfred de Vaudreuil. The Baroness Langs.
dorff, the Lady of the Hessian Minister, wars presented
to his Majesty by Mrs. Canning. The Chevalier de
kautzaw, the Charge d'Affaires of his Majesty the
' King of Sweden and Norway at the Court of his Most
Faithful Majesty, by the Count of Villa Real, the
Portuguese Ambassador. The Bavarian Minister, and
Mr. Niemen, the Secretary to the Austrian Em-
bassy, were also present. The Archbi.hop of Can-
terbury and Bishop of London came in state, as
did the Speaker of the House of Commons.—There
were also present, the Archbishop of York, the
Great Chamberlain of England and Deputy, the De-
puty Earl Marshal, the Lord Chamberlain, the Lord
Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench, the At-
torney-General, the Solicitor-General, the King's Ad-
vocate, the Judge of the Arches' Court, the Lord
Mayor of London, the Lady Mayoress, Sheriffs Laurie
and Whittaker, Under-Sheriff Richardson, Mr. Fitzge•
raid, High Sheriff of the county of Suffolk, Mr. A. W.
Des Barnes, Attorney-General to the late Government
of Cape Breton. The Membeis of the different Orders
wore their d.fferent collars, it being a Gala Court day,
which had a very splendid effect. At the commence-
ment of the general Levee, his Majesty took his station
with his back to the second window, in the front of a

chair. The King's Royal relatives, &c. arranged them-
selves to the left of the King, according to their rank.
His Majesty continued to receive the very numerous
presentations and compliments of the Nobility and
Gentry till a qutrter before five o'clock, with his usual
affability and condescension. The Cabinet Ministers
