arts of peace.
"Given under our common seal at Dover aforesaid,
this 15th day of October, 1844.
" WILLIAM CLARKE, Mayor."
It was received in the most gracions manner by
his Majesty, who was pleased to make the following,
reply
" Mr. Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses, of the ancient
Borough of Dover,—l leave this country with my heart im-
pressed with feelings of the warmest nature, but particu-
larly as regards the general greeting and gratification
Which has been extended to me by all classes of her Ma-
jesty's subjects, an-I the many tokens of friendship and
affection which I have received at the hands of her Ma-
je't.Y. They give me a favourable opportunity of maTd•
festiug towards England those sentiment, of friendship
and union which have evef been uppermost iu my heart,
and am most hippy to find those seutimeuts congenial
With the wishts of the British nation, and I have no
tloulu but that they viii be appreciated in my country.
Two suer. Cations, mutually calculated to be of such ad-
vantage to each other, will. I trust, equally appreciate
those feelings which I have so de, ply at heart—senti-
izents which I have ever so deeply felt."
His Majesty having replied in excellent English,
conversed for a short time with the Mayor, and ex-
Pressed his regret that his very early departure would
Prevent his seeing again the town of Dover, which he
'very well remembered. Soon after eleven o'clock
Ills Majesty and suite, amongst whom we recognised
11. Guizot, the Baron Athalin, Admiral Alackau,
the Count de Jarnac, and General de Rumigny, em-
barked, with the young Duke of Montpensier, on
board the French post-office packet Nord, and pro-
ceeded to sea, accompanied by the Princess Alice, the
Ariel, and the Swallow, English steamers. A guard
113 f honour from the 52d Regiment, under the corn-
Inaild of Major'Davis, was in attendance, and a second
to
salute was fired at his Majesty's embarkation.
in spite of the weather the piers and wharfs were
thronged with people, and we certainly never recol-
lect any distinguished character meeting so truly
Cordial and enthusiastic a reception. As the steamer
left the harbour the general and hearty cheers con-
toned to the extent of the piers ; and his Majesty,
p'ho seemed much gratified, remained with his hat
fairly
his hand, bowing to the multitude, until he was
at sea. Colonel Jones, the commandant of
.1)"" garrison, was in attendance, and Captain Mercer,
4141., the superintendent of the packet establishment
here, Proceeded to Calais in the Princess Alice. In
short, all classes seemed anxious to vie with each
t° tther in doing honour, and paying the utmost respect,
his M
•
ajesty, and he appeared perfectly idEbel aud
appreciate their good intentions. It is expected the
Nord
tw and the Princess will reach Calais soon after
o'clock, hut their passage will necessarily be a
panYiedthe
rough one. The Ariel and the Swallow accom-
Nord about one-third of the distance,
*ben vet and
urned into the harbour for the mail duty to- (
morrow.
