tendants or ceremony, conversing in the mest 
affable manner with his numerous, guests. 
‘The company found an abundance. of amuse- 
ment in perambulating this celebrated man- 
sion, Dancing commenced about twelve. in the 
grand council chamber, and about two. supper 
was announced. The company proceeded down 
the staircase into the basement story 5 and 
thence to the tables, either into the grand 
range of rooms connected with the conser- 
yatory, or those in the Chinese temporary 
yooms. At the end of the conservatory was a 
smost magnificent allegorical transparency, 
with G. R. TLL. acrown, and other devices, 
This was the terminating obj:ct of the whole 
yarige, and particularly designating the great 
feature of the féte. The banquet was the 
mest’ costly and admirable in all its arrange- 
ments. The Prince Regent, with that urba- 
nity which has ever been his distinguished 
characteristic, had a table placed contiguous 
to his own, for the foreign ministers and no- 
bility who were of the party. The royal 
dukes assisted the Prince Regent in doing the 
honours of the table. The ball-room, after. 
supper, was surrounded by a gradation of con- 
yersation stools, for the accornmodation of 
those who chose to be calm spectators of the 
scene. The Duchess of York, Princess So- 
phia of Gloucester, and all the royal duces, 
‘attended this splendid féte. Upon no pre- 
xious occasion, and at no court in Europe, 
was ever the experiment made to set down 
£000 of the pringipal nobility and gentry of 
akingéom to a regular supper, as was the 
‘case at this fete. The largest entertainment, 
at the most brilliant period of the French 
monarchy, was that given by the Prince of 
Conde, at Chantilli, to the King of Sweden, 
when 400 covers were laid. Here covers 
were Jaid for 1600 under canvas, and for 
400 in. the house,
