THE PRINCE REGPNrs DRAWING-ROOM

A Presentation at Court being, from long esta-
blished custom, a necessary preliminary apong Per-
pins of Rank to an introduction into company at
Home, and to admission at Foreign' Courts, the
PRINCE ItamtNrdetermined on holding a Drawing-'
room. A precedent for the reception of Ladies,
without a Royal Female to preside, was found in the
reign of GKIRCIR IL which Sovereign was accus-
tomed to hold Drawing-rooms after the death of
Queen CAuottsg. It may be remarked also, though
we do not quote it a* a precedent, that the King of
France, though a widower, receives Ladies as well
as Gentlemen athis Levees. It was determined also
lo combine with it the celebration of the PRINCE
REcitcr's girth-day, his Roil Highness having been
indisposed on the day first appointed to be observed
as his Natal Anniversary. In pursuance of this plan,
Lord LIVERPOOL, as Prime Minister, gave a grand
dinner to several of the most distinguished Peers and
Commoners ; Lord CASTLEREAGH, as Foreign Se-
cretary, entertained the Ambassadors and Diploma-
tic Gentlemen ; Lord SIDNIOHTII, the official persons
connected ‘vith the Home Administration ; the Mar-
quis of WixettEstEft, the Lord CHAMBERLAIN, and
the MASTER of the HORSE, each entertained the Gen-
tlemen connected with his pat ticular Department.

A few days ago the PRINCE 1t GENT visited Buck,
hlghani-house, tor the purpose of making arrange-
ments for the Drawing-room, and fixed upon the
grand Saloon as more convenient for the ceremony
than the room used by her late MAJESTY, 4s it pre-
cludes the necessity of the company passing twice
before the SOVEREIGN.

The Queen's Drawing-roem was set apart for the
attendance of the Great Officers of State, &c. the Ja-
p:c..-room for those entitled to the privilege of the
entrj, the Warm-room for his Royal Highness's clo-
set, and the Blue-room for the lOyal Family. From
the Throne in the grand Saloon, which was erected for
the late QUEEN to receive Addresses from Corporate
Bodies upon the marriage of the late Princess CIIAR-
Lolls, her initials C. R. have been taken ofF, and
G. b R. subsituted. Cdnsidcrable inconvenience
having been experienced by the carriages' of those
who have the privilege of the entil, coming in contact
with those of the general company at firmer Draw-
iug-rooms, an additional gate was opened in the
centre of the iron railing enclosing the Court-yard,
in the front of the Palace. The morning was ushered
in with the usual demonstrations of rejoicings. The',
military attended in the usual manner, and in con-
junctioa with the police maintained perfect order.
The PniNcE REGENT arrived with an escort of
Life Guards, amidst the loud huzzas of the populace
as he passed, exactly at one o'clock, while the can-
nons were discharging a national salute, in celebra-
tion of his Royal Highness's Natal-dav, and the band
playing Goo ,tatnt the King. His Royal Highnes
dressed in the Palace for the Drawing-room, and ap-
peared in full regimentals,, with a brilliant display of
his Orders ; his Royal Highness appeared in the full
enjoyment of health, The Duchess of YORK, the
Duke and Duchess of GLOUCESTER, Prince LEOPOLD,
the Princess SOPIIIA of,GtoyczsrEtt, and the Duke
of KENT, came in State ; the Duke of YORK came in
private. The SPEAKER of the House of Commons
came in State, for the fist time since his election to
the Chair. Prince ESTERIIAZY Ithe Austrian Am-
bassador), the French Ambassador, the Swedish Mi-
nister, the Duke of WELLINGTON, and several other
distinguished characters, went in State.
The company began to arrive at the Palace soon
after twelve o'clock, and they continued to arrive till
near five ; numbers were detained in their carriages
for two hours, and many Ladies were so impatient
lest they should be too late to be introduced to. the
REGENT, that they walked a considerable distance to
the Palace.

The PRINCE REGENT entered the room appropria-
ted for his closet, at half past one o'clock, when the
Lady of the French Ambassador was inn oduced to
his Royal Wghner.,s, by Viscountess CASTLEREAGLI,
and had the honour of a private audience. After this
ceremony, his Royal highness was joined by the
different branches of the Royal Family, who had
previously assembled in the Blue-room. The REGENT
proceeded to the late Gineen'i Drawing-room, where
the attendants upon his Royal person, the Great
Officers of State, &c. were assembled ; they pro-
ceeded into the Japan-room, where the Foreign Am-
bassadors and Ministers, the Cabinet Ministers, the
Archbishop of CANTERBURY, and. all those who have
the high privilege of the entre were assembled, from
whom his Royal Highness received their congratula-
tions on the return of the day.

The Countess PALMELLA, the Lady of the Portu-
uese Ambassador, was introduced to his Royal
Highness by Viscountess CASTLEREAGH. The Coun •
tess NVORONZOFF was introduced by the Countess
LIEvEN, the Lady of the Russian Ambassador.
Lady CHESTER and Miss CHESTER were introduced
tc his Royal Highness by the Marchioness of SALM-
EURY, on Sir ROBERT CHESTER being appointed Mas-
ter of the Ceremonies.

The French Ambassadress presented liter sister 4nd

---- -
The REGENT having received the congratulations
and presentations of those entitled to the elli7e, he
proceeded to the grand Saloon, and took his station
in the front of the Throne ; the Princess AUGUSTA
took her station to the ItEcENT's left, the Duchess of
GLOUCESTER, Princess SOPHIA of Gi.oucEsma, and
the Dukc of Gr.ouorwreii, to the right. The Dukes
of YORK and KENT remained opposite the REGENT.
The Royal procession into the grand Saloon was
closed by Earl COUR-MUM, the Captain, the Lieute-
nant, and other Officers of the Honourable Band of
Gentlemen Pensioners. The Drawing-room being
expected to be excessively crowded, Lord GRAVES
and Earl FIVE both attended. as Lords of the Bed-
chamber, to introduce the numerous presentations, as
well as the novel Court ceremony of the Ladies being
introduced to the *REGENT.
