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 champed 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 change 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 tin'
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

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 bustle
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.
