We are informed, that the grand illuminations and music at Buckingham-House on Monday evening last, were prepared by her Majesty without the Knowledge of the King, and that when his Majesty came there he was most agreeably surprised with the brilliancy of the appearance, and the harmony of the performers.
We are informed that her Majesty, the night of her illumination, in order to prevent any suspicion of any thing extraordinary going forward in her palace, had the supper all dressed at Almack's tavern, which added greatly to his Majesty's agreeable surprise. Upon the whole, there never was any thing better conducted nor could possibly give more satisfaction to all who had the happiness of being present, for nothing but joy and pleasure could be seen in every face.
