that on Thursday afternoon, the 16th instant, the
Hereditary Prince, who was driving in his cart iage
outside the town, was siluted with cries of " Long
live the Constitutional Prince !" His Royal High-
ness took no notice, and continued his drive. It
was then determined by the Constitutional party to
make a g' eat " demonstration " on the 18th, and to
call for the Prince and the National Guard. The
Government, being apprised of their intention,
issued a proclamation forbidding any demonstra-
tion whatever. The 18th co D B quently passed over
