The celebration of the PAINCE'S birth-day, which

into effeet with the moll lively emotions of joy.—

ATUIDAY, AUGUST 14.
This day the Plumes had a (mall party to din-
ner, confining of the fika few who have fo fre-
cuently been mentioned upon the fame occafion
this feafon.
The DUKE Of CLARENCE had commanded the
Amax, but the PP.INC Os ball prevented his High-
nefs, and of courfc mon of the fithionable people,
front 4ttellding; the honk, however, was tolerably
well filled, (12ick's /fur being the attraelion,
which, together with his OM Duiky in the farce,
went off with its ufual eclat.

To.night he has The Brothers, with Barnat_v Brit-
!'. The P.:INCE is eXpenCLI to be there, as the
commencement of the performance is put off until
half 'WI fev en, by his Hinhnefs's order.
The Duicz of CLARENCE left Brighton for town
shout tt o'clock this day. The PRINCE does not
leave us until Monday, haying a dinner at the
Pavillion to-morrow (Sunday). Colonel MON T.
COMIRT acctnipanies his Highi.efs, who vifits his
Royal Parents at Weymouth; he will gn through
fame necetrary regimental reviews, and is es-
T;IFIed to teturlt to Brighton by the firft week in
Scptember.

The laR arrivals are tha Earl of CHICHESTLIt
and Lntd GRANTLEY.

Sir Jemx and Lady LADE have returned to
Brighton, and with a phzton and four, have this
day been exhibiting their (kill by navigating all
the (harp turnings.
The new wings which have been added to the
naine Pavilion are the admiration of every vifi-
tor at this place. They have given it an unifor-
mity which produces a moll pleating died, and
do credit to the architeftural talk of Mr. Hot.-
"D. The front, towards Eaft-flreet, is brought
ferward with a pediment frontilpiece, fupported
ty (our immenfe columns, and die plaifler work
in hcfco, all in imitation of 'tone. The drive in,
which was before very narrow, is rendered more
commodious. The Pa IN CEt when he has recovered
hi, rights in arrear from the Duchy of Cornwall,
intends to add another wing to correfpond with
the hook late Weltje's.
The following are the particulars of the im-
provements that have beat made in the interior of
Cie hui!ding
T:ie Prince's bed-chamber is divided into three
c.r tr . ?artments ; the centre enelofes, by fliding par-
tin: bed intended to be fitted up as a tent,
s.i:h lookinr, ,rlaff..s and rtrieflors, exhibiting to
I R,y:ll Higthnefs the promenade on the Sterne,

e Use is an Juti-loom, and on the other a break-

'1 lieGi and Saloon remains as before. The paint-
. 3. by It..bccea has been cleaned by Mr. Crace,
The do:ne, however, is partly new, except
L.:. 6ures, l,y the artill lioriago.

Cation of a Chintfe tent; the furniture by Morel,
who has been twice at Paris to procure patterns
for the approbation of the PRINCE. The win-
dows of the whole lint are executed with uncom-
mon mechanical (kill : the Ihntters are wainfcot,
and, when doled, form pilatters to the window
frames.

The Library will he fitted up with bookcafes, in
the French Style, in imitation of Fain wood—the
paper a brilliant yellow.
The Billiard.roorn is very extenfive, and will
includa, hazard, billiard, and money tables for
the large parties whom the PRINCE entertains dui..
ing the race week.
The entrance to the Raircafe from the anti.room
is extremely Spacious and grand—the pillars in
fcatieli, are by Richter. The newels and skirting
hoards imitate wainfcot ; the walls are painted a
bright Breen, and the ceiling of the ftaircafe grey
and white. The 11411, (lone colour and white : in
the centre is placed a patent Rove, which commu-
nicates warmth to the whole building.
All the coridores are painted a French blue.
The Plumes, though highly pleafed with the
improvements upon the whole, has determined
upon many alterations. His Highnefs is offended
at a mixture of the orders of architalure inter-
woven wi:h the alterations, which, in his eßima-
tion, do not harmonize. The dome is to be com-
pletely altered, the painting, by Rebecca, taken
down, and the tout enfendle to reprefent a Chinefe
palace.
