places his foot on his bread, and holds in one hand an 
honr-glafs almoft expended, and in the other a fpear. The 
fallen ruler (applicates Death to arrelt his fatal purpofe : 
beneath him are broken eagles, torn flags, &e. and in his 
hand he grafps the (battered remains of a (word. On the 
walls of Paris are feen Cofacs and other Radians, Prndians, 
Auftrians, See. who are railing the fta'ndard of the Bour¬ 
bons. 
Cockney punning was not forgotten in fome of the de- 
figns. In a large tranfpabehcy renrefer.ting Napoleon 
tumbling from the Mount of Republicanifin into the arms 
of a demon, there was the infeription, “ To Hell-Bay.” 
Covent-Garden Theatre.—On a tablet was the word 
Peace, formed of transparent lamps, laid on a gold 
ground, furmounted by a regal crown of great fplendour 5 
covering one of the windows there was a hay-rake and 
fork croflways, alfo formed of fmall lamps; and on the 
window on the other fide the crown, the figure of a feythe 
and fickle croflways, as emblematical of returning peace 
and plenty. 
Drury-Lane Theatre had two branches of laurel, over 
which the word Peace, in letters of nearly four feet long, 
formed of many chains of amber-coloured lamps, laid on 
a fiiver ground, which had a very fine effect; this was 
furmounted by a crown of large dirrffhfions, appearing 
to be formed of various precious (tones, which covered a 
confiderable part of the front of the building. 
The Bank was marked out in the architecture of its 
f.rches and architraves by illuminated lamps; and the 
arches were filled up by oval (tars. On the top of the fa¬ 
cade appeared the words “ Europe delivered !” in the cen¬ 
tre was a rich crown, fupported by (tars, and at the bot¬ 
tom was inferibed “ Our brave Allies.” 
The Eaft-rndia-houfe covered its pillars with lamps, as 
yfual, and illuminated its centre with the name Wel¬ 
lington at the top ; underneath, Allies, Peace, Com¬ 
merce, in deep-yellow lamps; below, the letters G. P. R. 
and the prince’s feathers encircled by laurel. 
Rowland Hill’s Chapel, in Blackfriars-road, had 1 a large 
fcroll, headed with the words, “The Tyrant is fallen ;” 
and the following quotations from facred writ:—“And 
the pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that 
dwelled; in the clefts of the rock, whofe habitation is high, 
that faith in his heart, Who (hall bring me down to the 
ground? Though thou exalt thyfelf as the eagle, and 
though thou let thy nelt among the clouds, thence will I 
bring thee down, faith the Lord.” “ Therefore, O ye 
judges, be juft; learn righteoufnefs, ye princes of the 
earth.”—Underneath was a reprefentation of the emblems 
of peace, the lion fitting down with the lamb, the imple- 
jnents of agriculture, the view of a village-church, and 
the fea in the back ground, covered with commerce 5 the 
whole denoting the repofe to which the world may now 
lock forward. 
At Southgate, the effigy of Bonaparte, drefled in his 
military uniform, and decorated w ith all his imperial in- 
firnia (furni!hed by Sir Wm. Curtis), was hung up, and 
in the evening burnt. The baronet added to the joy of 
the villagers by a donation of beef and ale. 
On Wednefday night, at twelve o’clock, the gates of 
Cariton-houfe w'ere thrown open, and lix hogfheads of 
,1‘trong ale were trundled into the (treet, to wet the throats 
of many who were Ivoarfe with making huzzas, &c. See. 
In a moment the head of each calk was (taved ; and, for 
want of a better fubftitute, the mob filled their hats. The 
jereaming of the women, the huzzaing of the men, the 
firm" of guns and pillols, rent the ikies. Drums, trum¬ 
pets, horns, hand-bells, marrowbones and cleavers, added 
to the glorious confuiion. 
The following curious robbery took place on Thurfday 
morning ; Two or three men, having the appearance of 
lamp-lighters, came with ladders and hampers, and took 
down all the lamps which were ufed in illuminating the 
fronts of fome houfes in Holborn, which they carried away, 
leaving behind them the frames on which they hung. No 
iaibicion being entertained of their Healing them, they 
D O N. 
were fuffered to take them away without being afkec? 3 
fingie queftion, or any particular notice taken of their 
perfons. At twelve o’clock, when the real owners came 
to take down their lamps, they difeovered that they were 
eafed of that trouble. 
A foreign guelf, not a little gratified at our rejoicings, 
was her imperial highnefs the countefs Romanoff, duchefs 
of Oldenburg, and filler to the emperor of Ruffia, who 
had arrived in London on the 31 It of March, the very 
day that her augult brother entered Paris. She had landed 
at Sheernefs on the day preceding, in company with his 
R. H. the duke of Clarence. She is a very elegant and 
accomplifhed lady, fpeaking Englifb well. The prince- 
regent fent his carriage and beautiful bay horfes to bring 
her imperial highnefs into London, which (lie entered in 
Hate, followed by a party of light horfe, and proceeded to 
the Pulteney Grand Hotel. The duke of Clarence and 
colonel Bloomfield handed her from her carriage; and the 
regent fent his congratulations. She was accompanied 
by the princefs Volochowfky, madame Aladenfky, countefs 
Lieven, and prince Gagarin. Her highnefs has experi¬ 
enced great attention from the royal family; and has vi- 
fited almol! every object of curiofity in the metropolis, 
displaying, by judicious inquiries and remarks, a well- 
informed mind and a correft tafte. She has alfo been on 
a tour through the well of England. 
The object of this lady in vifiting our ifland is faid to 
be the restoration of her health, which has been much 
(battered by the death of the duke her hufband. The 
caufe of that event wrns the duke’s conftant attendance 
upon fick and wounded prisoners, which brought on a 
malignant fever; and during the laft four days of his life 
his imperial confort would fuffer nobody to come near 
him but he-rfelf. The immediate confequence of her lofs 
was a fucceftion of fainting-fits, to which (he is (till fub- 
jeCt; and thefe were followed by a fettled melancholy, 
which, by the advice of her pbyficians, and chiefly by the 
tendernefs and anxiety of her brother the Ruflian empe¬ 
ror, (lie has been induced to relieve by change of feene 
and climate, and the amufements of lociety. The duchefs 
has two fons, but has brought only one of them with her, 
who is ftill an infant: the other is left under the protec¬ 
tion of the emperor Alexander, who intends, it is faid, to 
bring him over among us himfelf. Pier highnefs refides 
at the Pulteney Hotel in Piccadilly, and has a (hire of 
thirty-nine domeftics, of whom only four are Engliftn 
None of the male fervants fpeak either French or Eng- 
lifh ; and, as a mark of Ruflian tenacioufnefs, we are in¬ 
formed by the Morning Poll (who is our authority in¬ 
deed for all thefe particulars), that two of them who guard 
the entrance to her fitting-room “refufed to admit the 
duke of Clarence without a fpecial order from their mif- 
trefs.” Her highnefs’s fortune is about 200,000 rubles 
per annum. The duchefs is about twenty-fix years of 
age, and has been a widow fourteen months. She con- 
(tantly wears black, with three bftrich-featbers of the fame 
colour affixed to a fimple head-drefs. We trull that our 
fait vifitor will find what (lie has conic to feck. The plan, 
which has been advifed for-h'er recovery, is the belt which 
(he could adopt; and, though there are finer climates than 
England for fuch kind of indifpofitions, there is no coun¬ 
try where (lie may meet with fociety calculated fo much 
to relieve her, or with fo many varieties of men and ob- 
jefts worthy to be feen. 
Motifieur, the brother of Louis, made his public entry 
into Paris on the 12th of April.—At mid-day, the mem¬ 
bers of the provifional government, and the cominifl’aries 
of the feveral rninifterial departments, preceded and fol¬ 
lowed by the municipal body, and numerous detachments, 
of the national guard of Paris, repaired to the barrier de 
Bondi, to meet his Royal Highnefs Monfieur, Brother of 
the King, and Lieutenant-general of the Kingdom. A lit¬ 
tle before one o’clock his R. H. appeared on the-outfide of 
the barrier, furrounded by feveral grand officers and officers 
of his houlehold, and a group of marlhals of France, who 
had gone before Jo meet him, .Monfieur, and all the'per¬ 
ilous
