<1.5.-Trn rrapa
The French Princes, the Foreign Ambassadors,
the'Emigrant French Nobility, and many of the
English,' were present on this solemn occasion.—
High. Mass was performed by the Rev. Mr. CFIAR..
RON, and the other assisting Priests, in their su-
perb vestments. The decoratiOns. of the altar,
the blaze of wax .tapers, the burning of incense,
the 'solemn tones of the organ, and the cliaunting,
of the Priests, had a most solemn and impressive
cfrect on the mind. After High Mass, Te Deum
was performed by the Gentlemen of the Choir of
the Portuguese Ambassador's Chapel, in South
Audley-street, accompanied. by many- of the other
first-rate vocal and instrumental performers, who
gave their services on this truly pious occasion.---.
The singing and. music was truly delightful, and
proved a high treat to the lovers of harmony.
The Chapel was crowded to 'an overflow ; the
eyes of many of the French Nobility, so long exil-
ed from their native land, were.suffnsed i:ith tears,
and the sympathetic tear of sensibility bedewed
the clieek of many of our fair co unfrrvoinen.--
The flag of the BovaßoNi, ornamented with
neur-de-lis,;n conjunction with the English, was
displayed, during the day, in front of the Rev.
Mr. 6H ARROWS • School. All the Nobility wore
white ceckades.' After Divine Service, the Boys
of the School fired several- rounds front some small
cannon, which they had mounted in the play-
ground of their School-house, in honour of the
occasion.
