Wednesdly evenings. Tice streets were crowded to excess by per snits of all ranks in %%hose hats and bosoms the white coelode and sprigs of laurel were compicuous.

Nothing, in fact, could ex- coed the eritkoiasiic delight which iieeined ro.b. .tflt by all order, in the prollcct of once tl.ore seeing ;he iily of France and the lion of Great tinitt d in bonds of inntind friends' ip and peace.—Transparen cies were vciy numrrutiY. Among those sr. hie' attracted particular at tenti9ii was that hi the ROY. Rowland L. chapel in 11lackfi bits-road. A larch scroll, feuded with the worth, 1‘ The Tyrant is fallen," gave the Olowilig quotations from sacred writ;-- •' And the pride of thine heart kith deceived thee, than th it dwellest in the delis of the riich, whose habitation is high that saith in his heart, who shall bring to the ground ? Thouuli Own exiilt thyself is the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the clouds, thence will I bring time down, sari the Lund." Obild. 3. 4.

(hi his right stood his Satanic Majesty, with a red hot sox', with which he was g,iing to shave him, while an imp of the gr.in munarch kthere .1 the wretehed Napoleon with flaming brimstone. A: the contr , -t to this, Louis XVIII. was seen in anodisr part of the chop, seated on au eleg.‘ n t couch, his crown lying in his lap, while the naqtvr of the chop; we presteete dressed in his best, performed the duties of iii- cAliog in a style of gre..t elegence.

The screaming of th e women, the }filming of the men, the firing of gums and pistols, rent the skies. Drums, trumpets, horns, handbells, Ill:MOW. bones and cleavers, added to the general confusion.
