Vienna, Oct. 26. The distinguished honour which Sir William
Hamilton, the British Minister to the Court of Naples, meets
with from our Court since his arrival here is very
remarkable. The day before yesterday the said minister,
with his lady, had the great honour of being invited to dine
with both their Imperial Majesties, to which he and his lady
were escorted in the state coach and six by Prince
Didrickstein. After dinner Lady Hamilton played a solo upon
the harpsicord, accompanied with the voice of the Princess
Archduchess, in the presence of his Imperial Majesty (who
accompanied this harmony) and the greatest part of the
nobility. It is said that Sir William is recalled, being
appointed Ambassador to the Court of Versailles.
