. Greenwich hospital. The princess 
was received on her landing by sir 
Hugh Palliser, the governor, and 
other officers, who condué¢ted her to 
the governor’s house, where she 
took tea and coffee. Lady Jersey did 
not arrive at the governor’s till an 
hour after the princess had landed ; 
and soon after, they both retired 
- into an adjoining room, and the 
dress of the princess was changed, 
from a muslin gown and blue satin 
petticoat, with a black beaver hat 
and blue and black feathers, for a 
white satin gown, and very elegant 
turban cap of satin, trimmed with 
crape, and ornamented with white 
feathers, which were brought from 
town by Lady Jersey. It 1s impos- 
sible to.ccnceive the bustle occa. 
sioned at Greenwich by the .prin- 
cess’s arrival. The congregation 
at the hospital chapel lett it, before 
the service was halt over ; and even 
the pulpit was forsaken fer a sight 
of her highness, The acclamations 
of the people were unbounded. A 
little atter two o'clock, her royal 
highness left the governor’s house, 
and got into one of the king’s 
coaches, drawn by six horses. In 
this coach were also Mrs, Harcourt 
and Jady Jersey. Another of his 
Majesty’s ccaches and six, preceded 
it, in which were seated Mrs. Har. 
vey Aston, lord Malinesbury, lord 
Clermont, and colonel Greville. 
In-a third coach with four horses, 
were two women. servants, whom 
the. princess brought from Germa. 
ny, and are her only German at. 
tendants from thence. The prin- 
¢ess’s carriage was escorted on each 
‘side by a party of the prince of 
‘Wales’s. own. regiment of - light 
dragoons, commanded by lord -Kd- 
ward Somerset, son to the duke of 
Beaufort. Besides.this escort, the

road was lined at small distances 
by troops of the heavy dragoons, 
who were stationed from Green~ 
wich all the way to the Horse 
Guards. There were besides hun- 
dreds of horsemen who followed 
her totown. Westminster bridge, 
and all the avenues leading to the 
park, and the palace, were crouded 
with spectators and carriages ; but 
the greatest order was preserved. 
The people cheered the princess 
with loud expressions of love and 
loyalty, and she in return, very gra- 
ciously bowed and smiled at them 
as she passed along. Both the cars 
riage windows were down, At 
three o'clock her serene highness 
alighted at St. James’s, and was in- 
troduced into the apartments pre- 
ared for her reception, which look 
into Cleveland-row. After ashort’ 
time the princess appeared at the 
windows, which were thrown up, 
The people huzzaed her, and she 
curtsied; and this continued some 
minutes until the prince arrived 
from Carlton-House. Ata littlebe. 
fore five o’clock, the prince and 
princess sat down to dinner. 
The people continuing to huzza 
before the palace, his. royal high. 
ness, after dinner, appeared at the 
window, and thanked them for this 
mark of their loyalty and attention 
- to the princess, but he hoped they 
would excuse her appearance then, 
as it might give her cold. This 
completely satisfied the crowd, 
who gaye the prince three cheers, 
The princess of Wales travelled in 
amantle of green satin, trimmed 
with gold, with loops and tassels
