with flags, pendants, and streamers, and rowed in
Iwo parallel lines from the harbour to Spithea,l, bear-

about 20 persons, and the Deputation which headed
the procession in the Commissioner's barge, lent for
the purpose, were the hearers of an Address with
4,000 signatures, whirls were signed in the short
lapse of about tell or twelve hours, and which would
have swelled to ten times the slumber, if his MA-

siderably affected with the effusion of attachment
to his person, which was evinced by this display,

hearer of this token of rib ction from a loyal people,
and was accompanied by a few of the most respectable
inhabitants of the town. After the Address had been
received, arid the AlISWer given, the boats' crew a which
formed the procession struck up the national An.

. from Ell parts of the yacht to the surrounding
boats, and was almost affected to tears. He dis-
missed the Deputation with many expressions of
gratification for the scene lie had witnessed.
