in the afternoon with carriages, horsemen, and pedestrians, notwithstanding the severe coldness of the wind, and the frequent showers. The interior of

Camelford-House was crowded with all ranks and parties, leaving their respectful congratulations. The Prince and Princess Castelcicala were amongst the distinguished personages, who paid their respects on this occasion jointly to the Princess Charlotte and Prince Leopold.

On Monday, the 13th of May, the Sheriffs of London and Middlesex waited upon the Princess Charlotte and Prince of Saxe-Coburg Saalfeld, at Camelford-House, to know the time when they would be pleased to receive the address voted by the corpo ration of London upon their marriage; when her Royal Highness and his Serene Highness were pleased to appoint that day, after they had waited upon her Majesty the Queen at her palace.

At two o'clock a guard of honor marched into the court-yard of Carlton-House, preceded by the band in their state uniforms. The royal household were in attendance, and dressed the same as at the levee. A party of life-guards were stationed in Pall-Mall, with their band in full uniform.

A little before three, the corporation arrived in state; the Lord Mayor wore a large cockade on his left breast, and his collar on each shoulder ornamented with white ribbons. The aldermen, the gentlemen of the court of common council, the city officers, &c., wore the same favors. The Lord Chamberlain shortly after introduced them into the presence of the Prince Regent; who, being seated upon his throne, surrounded by the officers of state, received the address, which was read by the Recorder, and to which his Royal Highness returned the following answer :

"I thank you for this loyal and dutiful address. It is with the most cordial satisfaction that I receive your congratulations on an event no less grateful to my personal feelings, than important to the best interests of the British empire."

They were all received very graciously, and had the honor of kissing the hand of his Royal Highness.

The city cavalcade then proceeded to the Queen's Palace. They were received with military honors by a guard of honor, which had previously marched into the court-yard for the first time, except on the days her Majesty had held drawing-rooms at that palace. This being the first address from the Corporation which the Queen had received at her palace, it was deemed essential, after due deliberation, that she should receive it on a throne, and there being no throne there, a new one was built upon the occasion. It was placed against the centre window of the grand saloon. In the front was her Majesty's statechair, on which she took her seat, accompanied by

the Princesses Elizabeth and Mary, attended by the officers of her household, and ladies of the bedchamber.

The Corporation was introduced into the presence of her Majesty and the Earl of Morton, when the Recorder read the address, to which her Majesty returned the following answer :

"I receive your congratulations with heartfelt satisfaction, and I am highly gratified by those sentiments of duty to the King, and of attachment to the Royal Family, which you have expressed on the present occasion."

They were all very graciously received, and had the honor of kissing her Majesty's hand.

The Corporation then proceeded to CamelfordHouse, round which an immense concourse of people were assembled. Sir Nathaniel Conant, the magistrate attended, with a number of police officers. The procession entered the court-yard by HerefordThe Princess Charlotte appeared at one of the windows, and being seen by the populace, they greeted her with loud huzzas. The Princess and Prince's servants appeared in their state liveries for the first time.

street.

The procession arrived at Camelford-House about a quarter past five o'clock; they were a considerable time alighting, when the hall became extremely crowded. The Lord Mayor addressed the gentlemen, and informed them he understood the room in which the Princess was to receive them, was not large enough to receive so numerous an assemblage; pro

bably it would only hold thirty at a time, and requested they would allow some to leave the room before others entered; but he assured them the Princess would see every gentleman. This request was attended to.

Her Royal Highness received them in the drawingroom, and took her station at the centre of the room from the entrance; her dress was of black silk, agreeably to the directions of the court-mourning for the Empress of Austria. On her head she wore a beautiful and elegant plume of white feathers. Mr. Percy, her equerry, was on her right. Lady Emily Murray, Lady John Thynne, Mrs. Campbell, and Miss Coates, also stood on her right. The Lord Mayor and aldermen entered, and the Recorder read the following address:

"To her Royal Highness the Princess Charlotte Augusta of Wales and of Saxe-Coburg of Saalfeld. "MADAM,

"We, his Majesty's dutiful and loyal subjects, the Lord Mayor, aldermen, and commons of the city of London, in common council assembled, request permission to offer our warmest congratulations upon the recent and auspicious marriage of your Royal Highness with his Serene Highness the Prince of SaxeCoburg.

"This very important union with an amiable and accomplished prince, of a family long distinguished for its attachment to the Protestant cause, we regard as an additional proof of the anxious care of your Royal Father for the interests and welfare of his

Majesty's subjects, and of his paternal affection for your Royal Highness.

"The splendid dignity of your royal birth, as presumptive heiress to the British sceptre, creates peculiar sentiments of affection and reverence in the hearts of all his Majesty's subjects, accompanied by the full assurance and proud exultation, that the great acquirements and endearing qualities and graces of your royal mind are so happily calculated to adorn the exalted station of your Royal Highness; and their prospects are brightened by the affectionate regard to the interests of these happy realms, which your Royal Highness, the pride and hope of Britain, has manifested by this illustrious alliance.

"The citizens of London are anxious to express the affectionate solicitude they feel, that the joyful event may be accompanied by the peculiar favor of Heaven, and that the transcendent virtues which inhabit your royal bosom, may descend to grace a line of princes, who may be the pride of their royal parents, and a lasting glory to the country."

To which compliments of congratulation, her Royal Highness was pleased to return the following answer: "My Lord Mayor, and Gentlemen,

"I receive your congratulations with the utmost satisfaction, and I desire you to be assured, that it will be my constant wish and endeavour to preserve the esteem of the city of London."

They, with the rest of the gentlemen of the corporation, 'then approached her Royal Highness, and had the honor to kiss her hand.
