laid aside his sword and advanced to tlAe King, who rose and.'
approached the altar, when the Archbishop blessed, t.fte. Sword
of Charlemagne, saying the prayer, Exiixdi occsrits Damine
preccs nostras, &c. The Archbishop then girded the sword
about the King and immediately took it off,-and drawing it
from the scabbard, presented it to him, saying, Accipe giadium
titian, after which the King kissed the sword and replaced it on
the altar.

After several prayers, the Archbishop prepared for the sacred

The King, conducted by the two Cardinals, sat down. The
Archbishop opened the reliquary containing the holy phial,
and with the point of a golden needle took out a portion, which
he mixed.with consecrated oil. The Choir chaunted the An-
them, Gentem francorum inclytarn, &c.

. -
The two Cardinals opened the places in the King's garment
for the unction, and led his Majesty to the altar, where he knelt
down on a cushion placed for the purpose. Tbenthe four Pre-
lates appointed to chaunt the Litanies advanced to the foot of the
altar. After the Litany prayers, the .Irchbishop took his place
on. the seat, with his back to the altar. -The King was con-
ducted by the two Cardinals to Archbishop, and knelt
down ; the Archbishop seated, with his :mitre on his head,
said the prayer, Onin;potens sempiterne Dens Oubernator
The Bishop.of.Soissons took from the alta'l,he holy oil and
presented to the Archbishop, wito.took some with his thumb to
anoint his Majesty on the usual places.

right and left shoulders. Gth and 7th. On the bad( of the right
and left arms; making each time the sign of the cross, and re-
peating Ungo te, &c.

The High Chamberlain put on his Majesty the tut?iea and
the dalmatica of crimson satin, embroidered with fleur-de-lis of
gold, and over this the Royal mantle of purple velvet with gold
fleur-de-lis, lined and trimmed with ermine. The King being
in his Royal robes, knelt down. The Archbishop seated, took
the holy oil for the Bishop acting as Deacon.
After the prayer, the first Valet de Chambre presented to the
Deacon a pair of gloves on a plate of silver gilt, which the Dea-
i con held while the Archbishop blessed the gloves, saying
Omnipotent Crcator, St.c. The Archbishop sprinkled the gloves
with holy water, and put them on the King. The same cere-
mony. took place for the ring, which his Grace put on his Ma-
jesty,from the finger, saying Accipe aim:slum. The delivering
of the sceptre and the rod of justice was performed in the same

manner.
The Archbishop, with both hands, took from the altar the
Crown of Charlemagne, and placed it above, over the King's

head, without its touching his Majesty. The Princes put their
hands to support it. The Archbishop, holding it with his left
hand, said, making the benediction with the right, Coronet te
Deus, corona gloria atque justitix. After which he placed the
crown on the King's head. The Dauphin and the Prince's a
second time put their hands on it, as if to support it, and he
said, Accipe coronam Regni, in nomitte Patris, &c.
The ceremony of the coronation being finished, the Arch.
bishop raised the King by the right arm, and his Majesty was
conducted to his throne. His Majesty was attended' in the
same mannner as on his entering the church, the Duke of
Conegliano bearing the sword of Charlemagne naked in his
hand.

-Every body standing, the Arehbishop.holding the King by
the right arm, and turned towards the altar, said the prayer.

Then the King being seated, the Archbishop holding his
Majesty by the hand, said, In hoc regni cello confirnzet tc, &c.
The prayers being ended, the Archbishop put off his mitre,
made a profound obeisance to the King, kissed him on the fore-
head, and said, Viva! Rex ire ceternuM. The Dauphin and the
Princes took off their crowns, which they placed on their seats;
they advanced, and each of them- received the embrace from the ,
King, saying, Viva! Rex in ceternung. At this moment the
trumpet sounded, the people entered the church, the heralds dis-
tributed the medals, .a thousand birds were let loose, all the
bells were rung, and three volley's of musketry, fired by the in-
fantry of the royal guard, were answered by the artillery of the
ramparts of the city..
After these ceremonies the Archbishop chanted Te Denns ;
then high mass was celebrated, during which the Dauphin and
the Princes took off their crowns, and the Cardinals their mitres,*
The Dauphin took the King's crown, and laid it on the desk
of his Majesty's pew. • After the GoSpel he replaced the crown
on the King's head, and resumed his own, as did the Princes.
• During the offertory the King at Arms and three Heralds
carried the offerings to four Knights of the Holy Ghost. These
offerings are a vase of silver gilt, containing the wine, a silver
loaf, a gold loaf, and a large dish of silver gilt, containing the
medals, struck on the Coronation.. After the elevation of the
Bost, the High Almoner, Prince de Croi, went to take the kiss
of peace from the Archbishop; then going up to the throne he.
gave it to the King. The Dauphin and Princes of the Blood
came to receive it of his Majesty, when the Dauphin bent his
knee. The Dauphin having received the King's embrace (acco-
lade), bent his knee to his august father, who raised him, and
held him long pressed in his arms. This affecting scene made
a profound impression on the Assembly, and tears, produced
by the sweetest emotions, were mingled with unanimous cries
of " 'Mee le Roi Yive k Dauphin !", The enthusiasm of .the

spectators were without bounds. •
,His Majesty afterwards took the sacrament in both kinds;
after which the Dauphin approichecl the King, and delivered
his crown to him again: His Majesty remained a few moments
on his knees in prayer, after which the Archbishop took from
him the crown of Charlemagne, and gave him a lighter one.—
He afterwards returned to his apartifienta, and he repaired to
the Royal entertainment in the great Hall of the Archiepiscopal
lece:

CIIIILMSFORD PITT CLIJI3.—The Birth-day of
the immortal PiT.T was celebrated with great festivity at the
Black Boy Inn, Chelmsford, on Saturday last, when the same
loyal and constitutional feeling was expressed as at the London
celebration. Colonel STRUTT'S band of the West Essex
Militia attended on the occasion.
Ens PITT CLun.—The Members of.this Club
.assembled at the Music Ball, Leeds, on Saturday last, in com-
memoration of the anniversary of the Birth-day of that illus-
trious Statesman, the •Right Hon. WILLIAM PITT. At half-
past five o'clock nearly MO Gentlemen sat down to a most
sumptuous dinner ; C. Bnowx, Esq., Mayor of Leeds, in the
Chair; A. HUNTER, M.D., Vice-President. The room was
suitably. decorated for the occasion. The chair was surmounted
by a canopy of laurel, at the back part of which was introduced
a handsome transparent painting of a Crown, and laurel wreath.
Opposite the chair, and over the entrance door, was placed a
striking bust of Mr. Pitt. The meeting was conducted with
great spirit, and the most perfect conviviality prevailed. The
sense of the meeting on the late proceedings in Parliament, on
the Catholic Question, was strtiogly manifested, when the toasts
of " The Duke of York," and " The Protestant Ascendancy,"
were given, which were most enthusiastically received.

There is a-rumour, though not in current circulation, that
their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of -York and Sussex intend
honouring the North shortly with a visit. Their residence, it
is understood, will be Lambton Hall ; and if so, • we may cal-
culate on our races being more fashionably attended than was
ever known.—( Pipe ltiercury.)
