on the 20th ult. when Lotus entered into AmsterdairiA.

pomp . calculated to impose upon the lower order
of the'people was carried • into etfeCt. He was
received by a Deputation of the Chief Citizens,

prepared for the occasion, The accounts say, the
utmost pleastire prevailed among all the people 'On,
beholding their beloved Monarch---a feeling very
natural indeed among Every out-

on the occasion, by tiring of guns, ringing of
bells, flags on the churches, as well as the ship-
