Vienna, October 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 Ann 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.
