St. James's, Sept. 9. Her most serene Highness the Princess
Charlotte of Mecklenburg, arrived yesterday at the palace at
St. James's a quarter past three: Her Majesty alighted at
the garden gate, being handed out of the coach by his Royal
Highness the Duke of York, and upon her entrance into the
garden she sunk upon her knee to the King, who most
affectionately raising her up, saluted her, and then led her
with his right hand into the palace, where she dined with
his Majesty, the Princess Dowager, and the Princess Augusta.
Her Highness's arrival at the palace was immediately
proclaimed by the firing of the guns at St. James's, which
were followed by those of the Tower: And a half an hour
past ten last night, the guns in the Park and Tower were
fired again, on the joining of his Majesty's and the
Princess's hands, The houses in the city of London and
Westminster were illuminated and the evening concluded with
