cd the front of his hat, doubtless denoting it as
the symbol of the sentiment which then beat in
his bosom. These most graciOns and condescend-
ing manifestations of national feeling on the part
of the Monarch, were eagerly caught by the
countless thOusands who witnessed them, and ac-
knowledged by the most deafening plaudits.
" Such a noise arose
As the shrouds make at sea in a stir tempest,
As loud, and to as many tunes; hats, cloaks,
(Doublets, I think,) flew up; and, had their faces
Been loose, this day they had been lost, such joy
I never saw before."
This gracious acknowledgment of the Royal
feelings, and equally sincere, though tumultuous
expression of public love,latted for several minutes.
It Was in vain that the Civic ceremonies were
performed in the midst of the assembled Citizens.
The Lord Mayor on his knees, delivered up his
sword of state, which was instantly and most gra-
ciously returned by the 'King, who raised his
Lordship from his position and declared the re
gar& he should ever feel for the Citizens of Dub-
lin. It was in vain, we say, that the Corporate
ceremonies were performed, imposing as -they
undoubtedly were—the delivery of the sword,
and of the keys, attracted but little comparative
attention, all eyes were fixed upon the King—
his Majesty was the sole object of attention,
enthusiasm, affection, and love.
The Recorder, in the midst of. this joyous tu-
mult, welcomed his Majesty upon his entrance
into the city in the following Spee'ch, which was
delivered with just emphasis, arid much feeling ;'
but the acclamations which prevailed afterwards
were so overwhelming, as to render his Majes-
ty's reply entirely inaudible, even to these who
had the good fortune- of -being near the Royal
Person.. We have teen favoured with the fol-
lowing copy-of the Recorder's Speech, and lament
that we could only hear his Majesty express the
delight he felt at the reception of the Citizens of
Dublin

" May it please your Majesty,
" We, your Majesty's ever faithful and devoted subjects, the
Lord .Mayar, Sheriffs, Commons, and Citizens of the City of

Dublin, impressed with sentiments of unbounded veneration

for your Majesty's sacred Person and Government, beg leave
to embrace the earliest moment of tendering to your Majesty
our dutiful and most heartfelt congratulations, on your arrival
in this part of your Majesty's dominions.

" That the Monarch of the greatest Empire upon earth,
under whose paternal sway our rights, laws, and liberties have
been most anxiously protected and secured, should, almost the
instant after the Crown had been, placed upon his head, in per-
formance of the autiust ceremony of his Coronation,have ordered
arrangements for his most gracious visit to Ireland, must to us,
in common with the rest of our countrymen, be matter of just
exultation and pride. But there is another consideration,
Sire, which gives additional interest to the present scene, and.
cannot but contribute to render this day for ever dear to the re-
collection of Irishmen.

44 History informs us, that some of your Royal Predecessors
have visited this Country ; but the same authority obliges us to
add, under untoward circumstances, and in periods of national
agitation and disunion. How delightfully contrasted the occa-
sion upon which your Majesty appears amongst us !—ln the
person of you, Royal Sire, we behold the first Monarch who
has landed upon our shores, to receive the enthusiastic homage
of the entire Island, and, in the rapture of a Nation's welcome,
to partake of the happiness lie communicates.
" You are now, Sire, about to enter your ancient and loyal
City of Dublin. The acclamations of assembled thousands
accompany your Majesty's advance—they are the richest offer-
ings. which love and gratitude can make, for they are the spon-
taneous bursts of the heart, and arc sure to be received with a
corresponding emotion by a Sovereign, whose first ambition has
uniformly been to reign in the affections of all his People."
As soon as the Civic ceremonies vc ere performed,
the Lord Mayor and Corporation resumed their places in their
respective carriages, and preceded his Majesty in his progress
through the city. The same loud and incessant acclamations
accompanied his Majesty throughout Sackville-street, and the
King appeared deeply affected by their prolongation. His Ma-
jesty surveyed with much apparent satisfaction the elegant
structure of the Post-office, which was literally covered with
people. The Foreign Arnbassadors and their Suites occupied
the balconies erected in front. The distinguished strangers
seemed, delighted with the glorious unanimity which pervaded
our immense population, and joined heart and hand in- the
echoin,' cheers.
The beauty of the city attracted his Majesty's eye, as the
joyous, although tumultuous shouts, of the mass of his subjects,
through which he passed, evidently affected his heart. On ar-
riving at the College, he surveyed with great attention the
building itself, and that magnificent pile, the Bank of Ireland,
adjoining it. During his progress to the Castle, the same en-
thusiastic demonstrations continued to be made, and his Ma=
jetty returned the greetings in the same gracious and conde-
scending manner. During the greater part of his progress, his
Majesty rode with 'his hat off.
To follow the King through the details of particular inci-
dents, which heightened the solemnity of this splendid scene,
would be to attempt to delineate the expressions of the indivi-
dual sentiments of countless thousands engaged in universal
exlltation ;—it was an embodied and spontaneous ebullition of
pofular feeling, delightful to behold here, from the manifest
Justice of the motive which dictated it—it was a grateful dis-
play of unanimity of sentiment, hailing the approach of a
Monarch to their Metropolis, who had never ceased to inspire
them with confidence from the earliest period of his public life.
At twenty-five minutes after two, his Majesty passed through
the Castle gate. This event was notified by a rocket to the
Battery at the Park, from whence a royal salute was imme-
diately fired. His Majesty then entered the presence chamber,
and the ceremonial of the Lord Lieutenant presenting to him
' the Sword of State took place. His Majesty afterwards received,
on the Throne, the following Addresses :—That from the City
of Dublin, brought up by the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, Re-
corder, Sheriffs, and Common Council. That of the Provost,
Fellows and Scholars of Trinity College, attended by the most
numerous assemblage of the University ever witnessed---and
the Address of the Clergy, presented by their Graces the Arch-
bishopi, attended by all the Bishops. To each of these Ad-
dresses his Majesty was pleased to return the most gracious
answers. He was afterwards to receive, in his closet, the Ads.
dresses from the Roman Catholics,Dissenters, and the Society of
Friends, or Quakers. Hii Majesty returned to the Park at five
o'clock, escorted by a party of the 7th Huzzars.
'The streets Were lined with- military, and the centre, upon
which the procession moved, had been new-gravelled early in
the morning for the occasion. The weather was as auspicious .
as could be wished ; and the exemplary conduct of the persons
assembled enables us to state, that it closed without a single ac-
cident having occurred.
It is impossible to particularize the individuals who took a
part in the proceedings of this truly happy day ; Sir B. Bloom-
field was dressed in uniform, and preceded his Royal Master on
horseback. He was recognised by his countrymen as he passed
forward; and was warmly greeted. Amongst the many Noble-
men and Gentlemen in the procession, we recognized the fol-
lowing:—
