A detachment 0.l the him's: Fourteen Royal Footmen, in state liveries. Twelve Marshal's Men. A troop of the Horse Guards. Kis Royal Highness tile Prince Regent, in his state cat riage, - drawn by eight cream-coloured horses. A troop of Horse Guards followed. The Dukes of 'York, Clarence, Sussex, and Glacester, were in the procession. The silver trumpets sounded at intervals. After the royal carriages came two of the Heralds, in costume, on horseback. Is the carriage with the Regent were the Duke of Wellington and the Mike of Montrose. The Lord Mayor. Sheriffs, and other City Officers, fell into the procession at T( mple-bar. • The Peeresses, and other individuals who were accommodated with scats in the Cathedral. approached by Holborn to Neevgate street, down Warwick-lane, to the North-gate of the Church. Great order was preserved in the streets. The windaws and housetops were crowded with spectators. About 12 o'clock the procession reached St. Panl's gates. Most of the Nobility, the Great Law Officers, and the Members of the House of Commons, had taken their phices when the Prince Regent arrived ; his Royal Highness was preceded by his brothers, the Dukes of Cambridge, Sussex, Kent, and York, according to the it respective seniority, and the Duke of Glireester, who was warmly greeted by the populace. Nothing could equal the splendour of the Prince Regent's equipage and horses, and their trappings. The Duke of Wellington walked on the right hand of his Royal High ness from the carriage to his scat in the Church. Words can con vey but a feeble idea of the richness of the view fr on the front of the Cathedral down Ludgate-street, as tic Royal procession moved slowly up. Troops,_ in all the isle of military array, lining the streets ; carriages of the richest workmanship, surmounted by bril haul ornaments; horses that pranced and c hamped the bit, as if elated by the honours and sprightllness of the scene which they partook ; the facade of the houses almost alive from the myriads' out-stretched neck, and floating handkerchief; the glittering of swords, clashing of arnr, sound of trumpets, pealing of bells--all conspired to till up the two senses of sight and hearing to their utmost stretch of beariug. On its arrival at the great western gates of the Cathedral, the Royal procession moved along the nave of the Church, flannel' the screen. Immediately on the right hand side of the chancel was the seal constructed for the Prince Regent and hls party. It was co vered with crimson cloth, the cushions of vclvrt and gold. The Duke of Wellington was seated on the right of Royal Highness, with the sword of state before hitn. Those svho saw his Grace •when he was last in England, will perceive that six years of inces sant labour and anxiety have produced some c h a nge in him. Over the pew, if so it might be called, in which his Royal High ness was seated, was a lofty and magnificent canopy, with an ele vated dome in the centre, the whole of' crimson horde; ed with gold. On the right of the Regent were seated his Royal Brothers, and the Duke of GI :rester, in a pew by themselves, covered with crim son; the Prince Regent's fare was towards the high altar: they hooked across the chancel with their right to the east( ru each of ti n ' church. The Ministers of Stay oceopied the lower end of the chancel : the Peers, Foreign Ministers, Members of the Howe of Commons &e. &c. filled each side, on benches one above another, mounting almost to the top of the arrhes. The Liturgy was performed after the Cathedral manner, T MUM, &c. being chanted. Among the performers were Bartleman and other professional men; and we could observe that the Duke of Sussex also joined in the musical part of the ser •ice. After a ser mon by Dr. Law, Bishop of Chester, the splendid cavalcad4 1110'0 JULY 10. in inverted order from the Cathedral to Carlton-house. Exclusive of the external tact produced by the sight of:0 much magnificence, the mind takes no small interest in the contemplation of all that England contains of valour, talent, and, we may add, of beauty also. The occasion of this solemn service, too,—for, in spite of the bustl e incident to such an assemblage, the service within the chancel was solemn and impressive,—the occasion, then, of such a ceremony, wherein Princes, Prelates, Judges, Warriors ; were all seen kr.eelin.l before the God of Peace, to return thanks for that, the greatest of all public blessings, was most gratifying. An honourable peace after a glorious war; a peace that dispenses joy and security to as, and even to our enemies forgiveness and comtort, and every other enjoyment but the privilege of oppressing others be ever the peace which, in future ages, it way be the lot of England ttr make.
