On the side of one of the principal bridges, there was erected- an other arch, with the inscription, on one side, of " Tandem bona cause triumphat,"and on the other " 13ulgiam renatum." • On the morning of the 21st, the arrival of the joyful day was ainvounced by a salute of cannon from the walls, the ringing of bells, and the tvav ing of flags from all the towers and public build ings.

His Royal Highness - then repaired.with his re tinue to the spot, where, on the 12th of January, 1807, this city suffered so severely by the blowi up of a ship laden with gunpowder; and on his alighting, he was received with the most mark ed demonstrations of honour, attachment, and affection'. • On his return to the Council-house, his Ma jesty partook bf an entertainment, which was served up in the Council 7 hall, and during which, the national airs of William of Nassau, al-14i God save the King, were played, • accompanied with toasts expressive of the wishe's of the heart. At seven o'clock his Majesty returned to his resi dence, and the day was concluded by a 6 ner.al il lumination.
