AIIMOIYTII GItANb MSTIVAL.

YAI3MQUTITI APRIL 19.4---The a
hasty sketch of the occurrences of this day, which
%Oil for year's be remembered by thousands. It
is merely necessary to observe, that our Festival
was occasioned by the great and wonderful e:-enrs
•which have so suddenly illumined the ;;loom of
the political hemisphere, and to celebrate there-
torn of Peace, and the llownfal of that extraordi-
nary man whose successful tyranny has,, so, long
desolated Europe, b
wose tall has been'attend
ed with a degracktion, that the most abject must
contetnplate without envy.

" Oh god ! thine ann was there,
".And not to Us, hut to thine arm alone
" Ascribe We all."

Early in morning the Town exhibited a de-
lighttid scene of bustle .and gaiety) the lioase:F
were almost- universally decorated with colours,
and the windows presented. a splendid, speeinivn
of that ferrate beauty for which l'arinouth has so
lun,t; been des'ervedly celebrated:, •

At,twelve o'clock commenced the,Trininpsh of
Neptune, which was announced by aTgun front
his Majesty's ship Sblebay ; the beach and jetty
were 'covered With spectators to witness the-land-
ing of the Sea-God, who was supposed ott this
•
occasion to sanction, with his presence the stirriority of the British Flag ; the Procession, con-
sisting of three barges, decorated With emblems
and the flags of nll nations, came aShore in the
most majestic style, under a continual salute ; in
the first w.its Neptune, with his attendant Tritons,
most nppropriately arranged ;' in the
other two wet e hands of British Sailors and
Cossacks with a sledge, on which was the effigy
cif Buonaparte chained. A naval car, splendidly
decorated, -wa's" kovided for Neptune, who was
received on his landing by 50 nymphs arrayed in
white. This most interesting spectacle, accom-,'
panied by,a bpd in, full uniform, proceeded into
the town and.rout3d the.matket-place, and was
conducted with the :;r Latest amidst the
acclamations of thousands ; the Procession end-
' ing at Admiral Murrzly's, which Neptune made his
head-quarters till after Ginner.
At half-past one o'clock, a gun was fired as a
preparatory signal far dinner: at a quarter before
two-the company were seated ; the tables, which
extended on. the Quay from north to south, 58
in number,. eack.accommodating from one hundred
and twenty to one hundred and fifty persons, were
neatly covered with cloth, and ornamented %with
`laurel, and scrolls expressive of; the event cele-
brated. At two o'clock, dinner was served,-which
consisted of a most plentiful supply of roast beef,
plum-pudding, and ale. At. three, dinner being
ended, and the tables cleared, " The King" was
given, with three times three, under a Royal sa-•
lute from alt the shij'iS in the inatls, and the guns
at the Royal Arsenal. This toast was followed
by " The Prince Regent"—" Queen and Royal
Family"—" Duke of Clarence and the Navy"—
" Duke of York and the Army"—" Emperor
Alexander and the Allied Sovereigns"—" Mar-
quis Wellington and our brave Officers and
Soldiers"—" His Majesty's Ministers"—" May all
Tyrants ,meet the fate of Buonaparte"-I"fhe
Restoration of the Bourbons"—" An honourable
and lasting Peace" 7—" The Mayor and Corpora-
tion"—", Prosperity to theffown of Yarmouth,
a ond a r.• d Fishing" The speedy Return of our
Townsmen ipprisoned in France.' It would he
diffieult to give any thing like an idea of the strong
feeling which was excited when this toast was
given ; it May be better imagined, when it is
stated, that among the Company Were many hun-
dreds who for years have been deprived of has-.
bands, fathers, and sons, brothers and friends,
doomed to all the horrors of captivity, and whose
return to,their native land, till this moment; has
been More wished-for than expected,: many drank
this toast in tears of joy.—The concluding toast
was, f"'The Founders of the Feast.' •

During dinner, the bands of the Wexford Re-
giment, and Local Militia proceeded round the
tables:

At five o'clock, the Grand Naval Procession, at-,
tended by all the bands, proceeded round the
Town to the'Denes, where donkey races and a
pig hunt were provided. An immense pile had
been erected for bonfire, on -which was &-
scribed, " The Fungal Pile of the -Buonapartian
Dyrasty," and exhibited a variety of 'transpa-
rencies, and surmounted by the effigy of Burma-,
parte. At dark this
.Was set on fire, amt, pre-
seated a mbst magnificent spectacle to near 30,'000
persons, who dispersed without a single instance
of disorder.

Thus ended a fZte, xvbich, for extent, comfort,
anti regularity, was perhaps never before wit-
nessed. ,Sufficient praise cannot be given to the
Gentlemen who proposed and conducted the }nisi-
rless, with so much propriety; and while the good
order, so universally observed, tended- so essen-
tially to the gratification of the Company, it re-
flects infinite credit on the inhabitants of Yar-
mouth.

The Subscription for the above, raised iu a day
or two, exceeded WOO/.

DUCHESS TYANGOULEME.—When the glad ticl
iSgs first reached Hartwell, of Buonaparte's de-
thronement, and was imparted to the Royal
Family of France there assembled, a general
lence prevailed among them, arising► from emo-
tious that may readily be conceived. The amiable
and interesting Duchess of Angouletue was the
first to break that affecting silence, nearly as
follows Let us return our pious acknowledg-
ments to the God of all Mercies, and then with
one accord resolve to bury all that has passed in
our unhappy country in forgiveness and oblivion !
For my part, I wish to ,return to
°it, but to fulfil
some duties pointed out in the will of my adored
and martyred father, which, under; the graCe of
Heaven,lMay now he permitted to accomplish !"
Tears, more than words, flowed for some time
from all who heard this charitable and pathetic
declarsatiou.

It is a singular fact, that MONSIEUR on being
received at Ow Tbuilieries., slept ina the bed of
BUONAPARTF., and his principal attendant in that
of th4.little King of Rome.
