INTO LONDON;

The delay tdhicli has mien place in tie King. of
FRANCE leasing Hartwell,..toproceed on his waif to
France, has, we are concerned to say, been owing to
his indisposition- and infirm state. However, on
Monday, his Majesty felt hinzself so much better, that
he sent an express to the PRINCE Renoir and his own
Relatives in this country, that he would undertake
the journey yesterday ; and arrangements were made
accordingly for this memorable unpreeedented event,
of a King of France making his public entry into the
Metropolis of dreat Britain, accompanied by the
ostensible Sovereign of these realms in the persdn of
the Prince Regent.
Every Court arrangentent

-As it was generally supposed his Majesty would'
let oitt at an early hour, from the Marquis of Aber;
born's, at Stanmore, all those who telt anxious to
bbtaiu a view of the procession on the road, Were is
/notion before nine riclticic ; and, long before twelve,
an 4211111110136 concourse of people were seen forcing'
.their way frtiM every part of the town towards Hyde'!
Park Cotner. From the top of Oxford-street, to Matt,
part of the Edgeware-road where it is intended to
. unite the Regent and Paddington Canals, a row et
carriages, of various destriptions, tined each side of
the way. The foot:way was filled with pedestrians ;
and the centre of the ttrad scarcely afforded sufficient
room for the immense multitude of coaches, cabrio-
lets, landaus, gigs, and taxed.carts, which were pro-
ceeding with as much expedition as possible towards
Kilburn-wells. Beyond the Regent's Canal, the ob-
structions at the side of. the road were less numerous,
but the centre presented a very interesting and ani-
mated spectacle. A string of carriages extended!
almost as far as the eye could reach, flanked by an
immense body of equestrians, every individual wear-
ins. the white cockade, generally accompanied by a
sprig of laurel.
The little village of Kilburnavas crowded to oncost
--many elegant families having alighted there, and
paid a very high price for windows, in the meanest
tenements, in consequence of a squadron of the Horse
Guards being' stationed there, who were to act as an
escort to his Majesty from thence. It was, therefore,
imagined, that some little delay would take place at
Kilburn, and much anxiety prevailed to procure ac-
commodations in so favourable a situation.
At the top of Oxford-street, at Hyde-park-corner,
and in Piccadilly, considerably beyond Albemarle-
street, the throng of carriages, principally belonging
to persons of the first rank, was so great, that much
inconvenience ensued, when the procession ape
proached ; and it demanded the utmost exertions of
the constables, of whom a large body were in atten-
dance, aided by the soldiery, who) paraded the streets
to make room for it, to pass.
Every window on the road that Commanded a
view bf the scene, was occupied—every wall and
every g.ue was taken possession of-revery tree was
inhabited—and amongst those who were obliged so.
content themselves with a peep, Sob dio, at the pro-
cession we observed a great number of ladies, ap-
pirently hblding a respectable class in society.
Many of the houses on the road displayed the white
/oz, bearing the fleur-de-lys, and ornamented with '
bi Anche&of laurel. Such was the general appearance
out of town—in town, particularly in Hyde-Park and
Its immediate neighbourhood, the bustle was still
greater. The gates at the top of Oxford-street,
• Park-lane, Hyde Park-corner and Piccadilly, were
almost impassable. The carriages, which were sta-
tioned two, and even in some instances, three deep,
were filled with elegant company, principally fe-
males. The windows in Piccadilly exhibited a blaze
of beauty and fashion—many of the balconies were
ornamented with festoons and rosettes of white ribbon,
intermieglecL.with laurel leaves. The white cockade
was universally worn—and such was the joy' and
exultation which beamed in every countenance, and
was breathed from every tongue, that one would

The Prince Regent, after giving an audience to
Earl Bathurst, and receiving dispatches from Sir
Thomas Tyrwhitt, brought by Mr. Sylvester, the
King'S Messenger, who artited at Caehon-house,
which we understand state, that the Queen of Wir-
temburg has postponed her visit to this country on
account of indisposition, his loyal Highness left
Carlton-house in his travelling carriage, for Stan-
more, at half-past twelve o'clock, attended by the
Duke of Montrose, the Master of the Horse, and Vis-
count Melbourne, the Lord in Waiting. His Royal
Highness was drawn by four beastiful bays, drove
fyx his postilions, in white jackets, white hats, and
wEite cockades in them, all emblematical of the oc-
casion; with three outriders in the Royal liveries, and
whiie cockades.
The Grand Duchess of Oldenburg sent invitaticata
to the Queen, Princesses Elizabeth, Mary, Charlotte
'of Wake, aid Sophia of Gloucester, to come to
tmtey Hotel, to see the royal procession, which they
ssfl aceepted, eicelit her Majesty, and were to visifi
the Royal DuAsets upon this rejoicing occasion, at
Agee tecloek,' when a Most sumptuous but lunch was
staved up by Mr. Esendier. There were also present
to join the Royal party the Russian Ambassador,
Countess Leiven, GeneralTaikescoff and Lady, Baron
Nichelai and Lady, and abont twenty others..

laid down and put in force by the military, the Bow-
.street, and other Police Officers, from Albemarle.

cularly allude to the exclusion oftarriages and horse-
men from Hyde Park—And the arrAnget of this new
regulation deserves the, highest credit, 31 it enabled
the mass of the people to behold the -Royal and gra-
tifying spectacle; with perfect ease And safety; whereas
if carriage; and -horsemen had, been admitted, they
would have caused great confusion and danger, and
interrupted the gratification of all ranks of oeople.
A Guard of Honour was marched into Piccadilly,
in white gaiters, with the state colours, decorated with
bunches of white ribbon ;the band in their state clothes
played opposite Pulteney Hotel, to the Female
Royal Party, who were repeatedly cheered by the
Public, when they were at the windows.
The Marquis of Abercorn invited the. Prince Re-
sent, the King of France, kc. to his Mansion•house,
the Priory,' near Statiniore, which however, was de-
dined.
The Prince Regent arrived at the Abercorn Arms
Inn, at Stanmore, about two o'clock, from which the
pincesion was to pit teed. The town of Stanmore
exhibited the must novel 'sight possible to be con-
ceived; there was not a finlike but exhibited tokens
of respect by the emblems of white—some, to shew
their zeal to a great extent, actually displayed sheets
-and pillow-cases. The principal part of the Nobility
and Gentry of that part of the country, and In fact
every person who could misster a horse, went on
horseback a 'mile out the town to accompany him
into Stannvote ; and when. the King had got within
a short distance of the town, the populace, who, had
become extremely numerous, took the horses from
his carriage, and drew him into town.
On the arrival of the carriage at the Abercorn.

rvo infirm, he was obliged to be lifted out of tf.e car.
`singe by his servants
.: the Prince Regent was at the
door of the inn in readiness to receive his Majesty,
and his Royal Highness received him according to
the custom of the French nation, by embracing him;
they conversed in the French language. The King
was dressed in blue and gold,• resembl'ng the Wind-
, sor uniform. The Prince Regent was dressed in full
regimentals, with his Russian and English Orders.
His Royal Highness was attended by, besides the
Lord in Waiting and Master of the Horse,
Mr. lieri.ert, Groom in Waiting • Colonel Bloomfield, Prin-
cipal Equery; General Hanunomi, Equery in Waiting; Master
Smith, Page of Honbur ; Earl Harlington, Gold Stick ; Silver

the following order, at twenty minutes past three
o'clock 1
One hundred Gentlemen on horseback. •

Kilburn, when they commenced a walking pace, and
a groom to each horse was added.
It is impossible to describe the respect and rejni.
cings shown by the people an the road. Laurels,
white ribbons, &c. were displayed, as they were its
Condon, in great profusion. On the entrance of the
procession into Hyde Park, and as-it passed through
it, the scene there exhibited is easier to conceive than
describe; the motion of the crowd, in the wide part
of the Park, was like an uncontrolled torrent. The
procession arrived at Hyde Park Corner exactly at
half-past five o'clock, and proceeded along Pico.

When they arrived at Grillon's Hare, in' Albe-
marle-street, a tempore.ry platform was made, even
with the passage, to prevent the King's eaperienent4
any inconvenience from ascending the steps. The
Prince Regent conducted his Majesty to his apart-
ment, where about one hundred of the French Nobi-
lity were in readiness to receive him. On entering
the apartment for his reception, 'and receiving the
obeisance of the corripany, his Majesty turning to the
Prince Regent, addressed him in-the most impressive
manner, to the following effect :
it I want wordsgo express the sentiments of grati-
tude and regard with which I am deeply penetrated.
To you, Sir, I owe every thing-6y lite, even my
daily bread, an.l what is Innre, the restoration of rue
and my family to our bekved couituy, and to the
throne of our ancestors."—[Here his Majesty, over-
come by his feelings, made a pause.]
The Prince Regent availing himself of the oppor- I
trinity, stated, in answer, that his Majesty •fek too
'sensibly those attentions which derived all their value
from him by whom they were received. Aka as to
any thing else, to call forth his Majesty's acnow-
IledgMent, the Allies had only supported their own
'cause in maintaining the legitimate _rights of the
House of Bourbon, and were well repaid by the suc-
cess of their exertions, His Majesty, deeply affected
:by the winning manner of the Prince, thanked him
for his kindness, in endeavouring to kss.n the load
of gratitude which he owed. He must, however,
repeat what he had said, that to him he owed his.
,life, nay, his bread—then taking _off the Order St.
1 Esprit, which he wore, assisted by the Duke De
Bourbon, and the Prince De Conde, his Majesty
placed it on the shoulders of the Prince Regent,
adding, " This day will eser reckon among the hap-
piest
of my life, which affords me the grateful reffec-
, Lion that in investing your Royal Highness with this
Order, a Prince should be the first to receive it, to
whom France is so much indebted for its revival."
His Majesty proceeded for some time in the same
complimentary style, which was received and re-
turned with corresponding, grace and affability by the
Prince Regent.
, This ceremony took place in the parlour, into
which his Majesty was conducted by the Prince Re-
gent. whose arm he held. Finding himself overcome
with fatigue, his Majesty seated himself in an arm
chair, with his Royal Highness the Prince Regent
and the Duchess de Angoulemo, upon his right, the.
Duke of York on his lett,the Duke de Bourbon, and
Prince of Conde in front, with all his suite surround-
ing him. The Marquis of Hertford and Earl Choi-
mondeley were behind the chair. The Austrian.
Russian, Spanish, and PortuguessrAmbassadors, with
the British-Ministers, were also in the circle. After
some farther conversation, filled with-expressions of
gratitude and mutual regard, his Royal Highness,
took his leave. At parting he saluted his Majesty
several times, which • was returned by his Majesty
with the mast (ender emotion. His Royal Highness'
then successively Saluted the Duke de Bourbon and
the Prince de Conde ; and taking the hand of the
Duchess of Angoulerne, be kissed it with fervouf
and devotion.
His Royal Meiners then entered his carriage, and
dtove to Carlton House, through an immense crowd,
who hailed him as he passed with the most joyful ac-
clamatlosss. such as—" The Prince and OW England
for ever 1"--4614.• Prince and Roast Beef l"--,, The
i Prince and Plunib=puttsting vi---ds The Bourbons for
1 riser f"--44 Louis the XVIIIth tut ever !"

After his Royal Highness had withdrawn, his Ma-
jesty and suite sat down to a superb dinner at. half-
past six, which was prepared in the back parlour_
the party consisted of sixteen. The Prince de Conde
and the Duchess d'Angouleme at the held of the
table, his Majesty on the left, the Duc de Bourbon,
with the Archbishop of Rheims at the bottorh. Du-
ring the whole of yesterday, the E;tsiern part of the
Metropolis was completely deserted. The City ac-
tually emptied, itself into 'Westminster. About six
*'clock, its population began to till Oxford-street and
the Strand on its return home.

from the Anniversary of the tutelary Saint, in con-
sequence of the Adjournment of Parliament. Half

not appear, and the Chair was taken by the Earl of

inclosing a draft for £lOO. Another letter was read
from Colonel M'Mahon, inclosing a draft for £lOO
from the Prince Regent.—The greatest cordiality
and harisony prevailed throughout the eyening,
and the toasts that usually suggest themselves .on
these occasions were drank, with the addition of the
health of Louts XVIII. and one or two other senti-
meats-founded upon the present situation of Europe.
The sollectigas amounted 'to about £950.
