their order and collars of ftate, viz. 
the Dukes of York, Clarence, and 
Gloucefter, and Prince Erneft, the 
Foreign Ambafladors, &c. The 
Bifhop of London was on his Ma- 
jefty’s right hand, and the Bithop 
of Lincoln on his left. The fword 
of ftate was borne by Earl Spen- 
cer, in his robes, on the right, and 
that of the city by the Lord Mayor, 
on the left of the King. — The 
King appeared in blue and gold; 
the Queen in mazarine blue, with 
a diamond head-drefs; the Prin- 
ceffes in the fame coloured vefts, 
with chained head-drefles of gold 
and white feathers. —Their Majef- 
ties were received with applaufe as 
they paffed the body of the church 
toandfro. The gallant Lord Dun- 
can was greeted with rapturous and 
repeated plaudits. — Mr. Pitt and 
Mr. Dundas attended the Royal 
Proceffion in the Windfor drefs 
uniform, and were received much 
more favourably within the church 
than they had been in their paflage 
to it! The ceremony continued 
till half-paft one, when their Ma- 
jefties returned to their coach of 
ftate, and returned to Bucking- 
ham-houfe, under a fimilar efcort. 
No material ‘accident occurred to 
mar the fplendor of the day, 
which clofed with great credit: to 
all who had the condué of its ca- 
nonical, civil, and military arrange- 
ments. 
The fervice was concluded about 
half-paft two, when the proceffion 
returned in the reverfe order to 
that in which it went; and the 
Royal Cavalcade arrived at St. 
James’s a few minutes after four 
o’clock. 
The failors and marines were 
univerfally cheered by the popu- 
Jace. The former were headed by 
83 
a number of lieutenants and mid- 
fhipmen. 
The ftreets, from the Palace to 
Temple-Bar, were clofely lined on 
each fide by the Horfe Guards and 
the fixth regiment of dragoons, and 
from thence to St. Paul’s, by the 
London Militia, the Eaft India Vo- 
lunteers, the Light Horfe Affocia- 
tion, and the Gentlemen of the 
Artillery Company. The regi- 
ment of dragoons and feveral 
other corps continued to parade 
the ftreets of Weftminfter for the 
greater part of the night, and all 
the other troops were under orders 
to attend at a minute’s notice; but 
happily the peaceable demeanour 
of the people rendered their fer- 
vices wholly unneceffary. 
Patroles of horfe guards and other - 
cavairy paraded the principal ftreets 
all night. 
Mr. Pitt was very grofsly infult- 
ed by the populace on his way to 
the cathedral; in confequence of 
which he did not return in his own 
carriage, but ftopped to dine with 
the Speaker and fome other gentle- 
men in Doétors' Commons. He 
was efcorted home in the evening 
by a party of the London light 
horfe. 
The whole bufinefs was conduét- 
ed with the utmoft order.and pro- 
priety, and the beauty and clearnefs 
of the day greatly increafed the 
fplendor and brilliancy of the 
{pectacle. 
[Petitions having been frefented from

mofl of the arguments that could be broitght 
for that purpofe, and of which moft of the
