London . . . Sept. 13. On Saturday last, after the Opera,
the King of Denmark, attended by the principal of the
Noblemen who compose his suite, went to take a view of Mrs.
Cornely's house in Soho-Square. . . Mrs. Cornelys had put
the apartments in all the possible order that a few hours
notice would admit of, and the whole were splendidly
illuminated with upwards of 2000 wax lights. The moment the
King entered the grand room the musick (consisting of French
horns, clarionets, bassoons, &c.) began playing; and his
Majesty seemed very much pleased at the agreeable manner of
his reception.
On Sunday his Danish Majesty, . . . [2 lines] arrived at
Hampton-Court Palace . . . [8 lines, admired portraits] The
Right Hon. Lady Fitzroy, and several other persons of
distinctions were introduced to his Majesty in the Presence
chamber, who received them with the utmost politeness: the
guard appeared under arms in their new clothes, and saluted
his Majesty with beat of drum, &c. . .
