An 'hour before this time the Lord Mayor,

Trumpeters having made
So4nd, the. Herald read aloud His Majesty's

#reelatmation. The Procession then itoired on through
Fleet-street, up Ludgate-hill, through St. Paul's
Church.yard, and into Cheapside. At the end of
Wood-street the cavalcade again halted, and• the
Trumpeters having sounded thrice, the Proclaim I 100
was again read. At .the Royal Exchange ii• was
read with the same ceremonies for the last tine—
and the Procession proceeded through the City, as
described in Wednesday's Paper, with the addition
of about 2000 East-India Volunteers, with four
brass cannon, &c.

When they returned to the Mansion.house, the
Guards, with Heralds, Knight Marshal, &c. passed
on. The Lord ;Mayor, Sheriffs, and Aldermen
alighted, and after the City Militia clearing, the
ground before the Mansion-housei his Lordship
mounted his horse, when the Sheriffs and Al..
dermen and City Officers on foot, arranged in
front oldie Mansion-house, with the fourteen regi-
ments of Volunteer Corps, each with their Com-
manding Officers, paid military honours to his
Lordship, when he presented them with a copy of
the Thanks of His Majesty, and vile Honourable the
House of Commons of the United Parliament, as-
suring them of His Majesty's satisfadion of their
services during the war ; after which they filed off
to their respective situations.
The Lord Mayor held in his hand the ancient
Sceptre, which is regularly transferred, when the
Lotd-Mayor is sworn in, but seldom or never used
in psrlolie ; it is about eighteen inches long, made
with geld and glass, ornamented with pearls and
precious stones round the coronet ; at the top is the
British Arms.
The Horse-Guards escorted the Heralds back to
the Herald's College, in Do&ors' Commons, and
proceeded to St. James's,. with the Knight Marshal
and his men. A part of the City Officers attended
the Military out of the City.
When the Procession came opposite the Mansion
House, a scaffold built in front of the Mansion
House gave way. The brother of the Lady
Mayotess, Mr. HADLEY, it was said, broke his
leg, .but though we know he was badly. hUrt, we
hope not so seriously. Mr. DIXON, Common Coun.
rilman for Tower Ward, was also severely bruised;
but we are happy to -find both these Gentlemen
are in a fair way.
At Temple-Bar the crowd was so great, it was
with difficulty the two Horse-Guards could make
their way through. The succeeding Troops made
their horses trallie on the toes of the populace;and
by this MUM squeezed out an avenue, the Women
shrieking, and the pressure most dreadful ; so much
so,. that it was found necessary to let part of the'
mob through the small gates on the sides into the
City, to gain room for the Heralds to come up.
When the Procession moved forward, Temple
Bar gates were again shut to keep back the crowd,
bur it was so excessive, it burst the gates open and
made its way through for some time till it could be
shut again. While .it was. going along Flee't.
street, a child slipped 'out of a woman's arms in a
one pair of stairs window, but the mob caught and
saved it.
