LONDON, APRIL 30, iBoz,

We yesterday had an opportunity of mentioning
merely the commencement of the Procession for the
PROCLAMATION Of PEACE. To-day our Readers
will find in our Paper veryample, and we trust, sa-
tisfa&ory details of this very grand and interesting
Ceremony. The Metropolis has seldom presented
so magnificent a Speaaele, if we except His MA-
JESTY'S visit to St. Paul's on occasion of the
General Thanksgiving for our Naval Yietories.
The Procession, and the very general and brilliant
Illumination which took place in the evening,
passed off with a regularity and order that. refled
the highest honour on the English populace. , Titz
streets in every quarter• were thronged with pen_
pled all descriptions till three or four o'clock, in
the morning, yet we heard of very few accidents,,
soniidering the immense crowd that took plaCe, or
of any outrage that had been committed,

-His Royal Highness the Dt.n of K NT embarked
or, T esday
,last at Falmouth, on hoard the his, of
so guns, and immediately sailed for GibrFltar.

YESTERDAY the expected Naval Promotion was
announced at the Admiralty. There is no promo.
tion of PQSE Captains to Flags. Vice-Admiral
PIGOTT and Lord gABSTOCK are promoted to he Ad-
miraN of the Blue—Rear-Admirals of the Red Sir
GEORGE HOME and Sir CHARLES COTTON, to be
Vice-Adtt;iralsof the Blue ; and Rear-Admirals of
the White JOHN W,ILLET PAX'NE and Sir ROBERT
C(I.LDER, to be Rear-Admirals of the Red.

This is, we believe, the whole of the Flag Pro-
motion-115 Commanders are made Post, and 45
Lieutenants made Commanders.

The number of Midshipmen promoted zo the
rank of Lieutenant, will not be known till after
the next passing day at the Navy Office.

WE have a very peculiar grati4cation ip
an-
nouncing the following distinguished mark of Firs
IVl4Jlszy's most gracious approbation of the'ser-
vices of that highly gallant and useful Corp, the
•
MARINES :
