" My Leed,—Mr. Townsend, Windsor Herald, attended
, at the Mamba-house to-day, in order te 0011111111i1Olt• to
yew lordship a letter which has been addressed to me by
his Orate the Earl Marshal, an 1 of which I have the dukes
ponaholoe to transmit to your lordship a copy. I sincerely
Lope that the decision upon the question of precedency
will be satisfactory to your lordship and to the Corporation
of the City of Londoe. I have, however, not yet received
any instructions on the occasion, as yourion, lordship will per-
ceive by the ceremonial of which I take the liberty of send-
ing a number of copies herewith. I shall with great
pleasure attend to the commands which I may receive on
the subject of your lordship's place in the preemies.

" Sir,—l this day received, by the hands of the Windsor
Herald, your letter of the 2nd, containing a reference from
the Secretary of State's office desiring my opinion on the
claim made by the Lord Mayor for rank in the procession
in the Newel of the late Lord Viscount Nelson, dated the
Ist instant. From the hasty manner in which I have ma-
Mitered the precedents pointed out is the report now mat
me, I us of opinion that if his Majesty attends in person,
and it shall be his Majesty's pleasure that the City sword
shoull be been before him by the Lord Meyer (either
with or without the sword of state), the placing his hied
ship neat the person of the King seems to arise out of the
circumstance, and is sanctioned by the precedents, of his
Majesty's predecessors, Charles 1., Charles 11., Wil-
liam 111., end Q.ieen Anne. la the procession on this
areemicia of James 1., where the King attended in person,
end the City sword was not borne, a different station was
allotted to him; at the funeral of Sir Philip Sidney, where
the Kik" did not attend, it seems the Lord Mayor and
meinln re of the corporation closed the precession as censer-
rivers *here they bed the jurisdiction, giving dignity and
solemnity to a ceremonial which so muck interested the
feelings of the English nation and its *Mee. I lament I
have not had more time to examine more accurately a case
that relate. to persons of such high consideration, and much
wish for more time to re consider it. I will immediately
repair to London, where I hope to arrive on Monday night,
and request your attendance, with the other Kings of Arms
and Heralds, at my apartments, at the College of Arms, ea
Tuesday, the 7th, at 2 o'clock, and request you will have
the goodness to inform the Lord Mayor immediately, that
in ease be wishes to make any commnoacition to me ma the
subject, he may have the opportunity to do it before I
return lay answer to the reference from the office of the
Secretary of State.

" Sir I. Heard, Garter King of Arms, At."
Sir,-1 have to acknowledge the receipt of your favour
sf this day, emissiag a copy of a letter from his race the
Sul Marshal ea the subject of my rank in the intended
ceremonial of Lord Nelson's funeral. As I have this day
seas Mr. King, the Coder-Secretary of State, ea the sub-
jest of the rank allotted to me, which, on a reference to his
Majesty's direction, as far as I can understand at present,
seems to accord with his grace's feelings, as Earl Marshal,
and my Ow., it seems hardly smeary further to trouble
the Earl Marshal with a meeting on the subject; and, in-
deed, I have little doubt but ere the receipt of this you will
have received each instructions as will preclude the e-
yfty any further discussion on my part.
