HER MAJESTY'S ARRIVAL AT DOVER.

Iti the mean time, certain intelligence had
heels received at Dover of her Majesty's approach,
ILA some confusion seemed to exist among the mi-
litary authorities as to the mode of receiving her
Majesty. At last Colonel Monroe, who it the
eomonnoslatit of the garrison, determined to receive
I:er Nlisiesty with a royal salute : he observed, as
we are informed, that as no special nestroctions had
heel) sent to him, he conceived that he should hest
discharge his duty by obeying the general rule,
which was to fire a roy. I salute whenever a
►oval personage landed at Dover. This decision
gave great sati•faction to the people of Dover, who
were already flocking in vast numbers, and all
.tressed as if for a fete, iu order to view the disem-
ba:kation of their Queen. The packet at about a
.tlsarter before one came close into the roads, but
nit meet:Hint or the title coold not enter the barbour.
We Majesty, with her usual promptitude, as soon
,11!, shr understood that it would he five o'clock be.
LAC the vessel coold get into the pit r, deter aaa i a ird
to go to shore in sii open bout, though the swell of
the water was so considerable as to make it difficult
to descend the ship's side, At length, however,
her Majesty and roite were safely placed in the
boat. which rapidly approached the shore, onsidat
the wet enthusiastic cheerings from the countless
multitude ou the beach. the heights, and all the
avenues leading to the principal hotel.

At one o'clock her Majesty pots her foot on
tritish ground : the royal salute begin to tire, and
an Quivers! shout of congratulation welcomed her
arrival. Fora few moments her countenance and
manner bespoke considerable agitation : •lie was
vi.ibly affected by the cordial symptoms of regard
which welcomed her home : but she soon recovered
herself, end with a firm step, a composed snooper,
end • smiling but steady countenance, walked
*lowly along the crowded ranks of the princiral
in-
habitants. Wdl-dres,ed females, young and old,
saluted her as she neared with exclamation. of
" God bless her ! she has a noble spirit : she moat
be inflected." The Queen returned the sa wet'
with the warmest masks of affectionate pleasure,
sod repeatedly thanked the Ladies fur their expres-
sinus of cordial attachment. She appeaired in good
health, her blue eyes shining with peculiar lustre,
lint her cheeks had the appearance of • long in-
timacy with tare and •uxiety. As she moved
slung the crowd gathered so feet, sod pressed
co closely around her, that she was compelled
to lake refuge in the York Hotel. Mr. Wright,
of the Ship Hotel, seeing that it would be
iinpoi.sible for her Majesty to reach his liaufe on
foot, immediately dispatched a handsome open car-
riage to the York Hotel. Her Majesty, Lady
Hamilton, and Aldermen Wood, ascended the
carriage : the populace removed the horses, and
drew it themselves. A band of music pre-
ceded her Majesty, nod two large fire, bear-
ing the ihsciiption of "God save (amens Casoliaa."
were carried by sonic of the principal tradesmen.
A guard of honour was placed at the door of the
hotel, but the people did not seem to relish their
appearance. and. the Queen observing to Alderman
Wood that their presence appeared rather to pro-
duce an uuplessatet snit angry feeling, the worthy
Alderman suggested the propriety of their going
• wi.y. After 'drying f:od sate the King the soldiers
reined, and the populace seemed highly delighted.
Her Majesty then went to the principal window rf
she hotel, and hewed several times with great grace
and sweetness of manner to the happy assemblage.
She then retired, and, first taking s slight refresh
mein, lay. down to rest after the harassing fatigues
ui body sod mind which she had undergone. At
five o'clock she awoke, and desired that the amines,
winch she now understood had been brought on
shore. should be speedily got ready, as she would
ail off fur Canterbury that eveuisig, and if possible
reach Sittingbourn to sleep. The Queen was expect-
eel to leave the titan at six. The rood from Dover
to Canterbury was crowded with people : indeed
the whale population of the latter town were out
in the ,treed' to greet her Majesty. The General
in command (we believe Gibson) had (mitred a
guard of honour for her reception. The people at.
Swisigbourn mere equally on the alert, and the road
was lined with litindreils from the nrighboursug
towns of FelMllitilo3 and Milton.
