After paying his respects for a few m;nutes to Lady

with the remainder of the Royal Patty. A number
of Ladies and Genilenler., and persons of all denomi.
nations, collected on the beach, cheered lie barges
as they left the shore, and the band of the 71st Revs
ment played at intervals. Lieicenale Ttiomas Nor;
Flag-Lieutenant to Re ir Ad:niral Fotry, end patrO.
nized from fus infancy by the Duke of CLAREsuP, had
the bonat,r of s! eri:3 his Royal Highness's barge_.
On the. Royal Standard appearing at a short dis-
tance foam the fl et, Admiral Youec, late Com-
mander in Chief of his Majesty's ships employed in
the blieicale of the Scheldt, made the preparatory
signal from the CHRISTIAN VII. for the fleet to sa- s
lute. The Admiral began the salute; and the whole
fleet accompanied him with one and twenty guns, I
manning the yards at the same iristant. His Royal
Highness then went on board the Cite's-rum VII.
where he was received by the Commander in Chief, ,_
and the Admirals and Commander's of the fleet, wi Ii
all military honours, and a royal salate; the Admi.
ral's flag was hassled down from the mail, the royal
standard sithstitteed in its place, and his own flag
hoisted on board the Euatosie.
In inspecting the CHRISTiAN VII. his Royal High.
ness mustered the men at their guns and by division, j
and was so well pleased with their discipline and ex.
cellent condition, that he sent for Captain M,Keztr,
to whom, and to Admiral YOUNG, he expressed him-
self in the most gratifying terms of approbation, for
the high order in which be found their ship, the
Clottstiem VII. His Royal Highness and his •
fiends then partook of a cold collation prepared by
order of Admiral YOUNG, consisting of fruits and
every delicacy of the season, served up in the best
manner. and accompanied weft the choicest wines.—
About four o'clock the barges with his Royal High-
ness's friends left the Cambrian VII. and proceeded
with them to the shore.
At nearly five o'clock. his Royal Highness, Lord
TEMPLE and Captain M'Keszte, of the CHRISTIAN
VII. proceeded to visit the 14.stno frigate, Captain
CARTERET. Time NAIAD, as our readers will recol! '
lect, is the ship which so gallantly mauled the 800.
IJ
lcyce (:11 a recent occasion. She, cher..tore,
excited patticuiar interest. On going on board, his '
Royal Highness was again saluted with twenty.nne
guns; atter which line inspected her in the same man-
ner AS he had previoesly inspected the CIumrsTIAN
VII. and the result was precisely
lied approbation for the excellent state of discipline
in which she appeared, and admiration of the heroic
valour which she had so lately displayed against the
enemies Of our country.
Exactly at six o'clock, hls Royal Highness landed
at the Dock-yard, where, amidst the acclamations of
an amazing concourse of spectators, he was received
by Admiral Focer, and Captain HYDE PARKER, with.
whom he walked arm-la-arm to Admiral FoLav's
house, at which a grand dinner was prepared for his '
Royal Highness, and the Nobility and Gentry who
accompanied him on his visit.
In the evening there was a Bell at the Assembly-
Room, to which his Royal Highness went, attended
by the dinner patty ; and followed by all tiler:n:lk and
fashion in the neighbo'mrhood, who hastened to pay
their respects to his Royal Highness, and join in the
pleasures 'that were heightened by his presence.
—After dancing till a late hour, his Royal Highness
returned to Admiral FOLEY'S to supper ;—expressed,
in glowing terms, his warm sense of the attentions
with which he had been honoured by Admiral and
Lady LL:CY FOLEY ; and then set out on his return
to Ramsgate.
His Royal Highness was in his undress uniforms,
as Admiral of the Red. The ships* in the Downs,
which are uncommonly numerous, were decorated in
their gayest colours. The day was uncommonly fine,
and the splendour of the scene was in no instance
elowded with the smallest accident.

IR mustering the crew on board the %is°, his
Royal Highness recognized a se man who had served
under his command in the ANDROMEDA and PEG*-
; and, with a view to provide for him, he has re-
quested Captain CARTERET to let the man pass his
examination to qualify him as a warrant officer. It
is remarkable of this man, that he was stationed at
the wheel, in the action with the Boulogne flotillas
and had therefore .a narrow escape for his life.
