T)as machinery of that port ; iii- 

 teriiiixed willi banqueting and 

 festivity. On the concluding day, 

 a fleet, consisting of 15 sail of the 

 line, and about as many frigates, 

 formed a line in front of the Isle 

 of Wight, and having received 

 with a general salute the royal 

 visitors on board the Royal ^o- 

 vereign Yacht, stood out to sea, 

 and performed some of the ma- 

 ricEuvres of an engagement. They 

 returned to their anchorage in the 

 evening, when the Emperor and 

 King, the Regent, &c. accompa- 

 nied by an immense number of 

 pleasure vessels of all descrijjtions, 

 came to land, and the day termi- 

 nated with a grand entertainment 

 given by the Regent, at the Go- 

 vernaient-house. The whole was 

 calculated to impress the illus- 

 trious strangers, with the most 

 lively ideas of the national power 

 and greatness. 



27. The Emperor of Russia, 

 with his sister the Duchess of 

 Oldenburg, and the King of Prus- 

 sia with his sons, embarked at 

 Dover on their return to the con- 

 tinent, after a visit to this country, 

 which appears to have given ge- 

 neral satisfaction. 



28. Dover. — About five o'clock 

 this morning, his 31ajesty's sloop 

 of war the Rosario arrived in the 

 roads, and fired a salute. Shortly 

 afterwards, the yards of the dif- 

 ferent vessels of war were manned, 

 a salute took place throughout the 

 squadron, and the launch of the 

 Nymphen frigate was seen ad- 

 vancing towards the harbour, with 

 the Duke of Wellington : at this 

 time the guns upon the heights 

 and from the batteries commenced 

 their thunder upon the boat leav- 

 ing the ship ; and on passing tli« 



pitr-heads his lordalrip was greeted 

 with three distinct rounds of cheers 

 from tliose assembled; but upon 

 his landing at the Crosswall, no- 

 thing could exceed the rapture 

 with whicii his Lordship was re- 

 ceived by at least 5,000 persons ; 

 and notwithstanding it was so 

 early, parties continued to arrive 

 from town and country every 

 minute. The instant his lordship 

 set his foot on shore, a proposition 

 was made, and instantly adopted, 

 to carry him to the Sliip hin : he 

 was borne on the shoulders of our 

 townsmen, amidst the reiterated 

 cheers of the populace.

 years of age. On Monday night,

 answered a knock at the door, 

 when the prisoner presented him-

 She went to the outside of the

 with all possible speed, when he

 prisoner close behind her ; he did
