(ffoax.—On Thurfday an anonymous perfon, de-
Smits of indulging in wit, wrote to force of the
Poßmaners on the North Road, requefiing to have
fix pair of kirks in leading(' the following day, for
the !Amok of conieYing. his Royal Highnefs the
Prince of Wass! and pony forward, who were on
their way to London. At notprecife hone was affign-

at the different inns, and patticOlarly in Sigglefwade,
bcint a Statute Day for the hiring of lervauts.
Mere the taping *multitude affembled at an early
hour, hi anxious expeelation of taking a full furvey
of their amiable Prince ; and though the martial
drum, the dulcet notes of wind and other inftru-
mums, as well as the vagaries of Punch and his
automaton companions, Rrongly invited them to the
flan of mirth, they continued- for feveral hours to
watch the Motion of every arriving carriage, until
chilled by'cofd. About five in the afternoon, the
Motley groupe conceived it time to often the rigours
of difappoiniment by repairing to the booths of gri-
mace; but In! Rattily had they placed themfelve.
within the purlieus of the canvas canopy, and paid
tic Ceejorer their admiffion fees, when eight or ten
Artilltrymen arrived at the inn, on horfeback, and
thefe were immediately announced as the Prince's
military efcort. The Irene at this mutant would
move the muffles of the aloft rigid Cytilt ; all was
hulk and confufion : the booths opsonid various
patuges i—the literary magazines of gingerbread
alphabets were overturned ; the dolls, whittles, and
otter pease .offerings, were fcattered in all direttions;
nor did a perfon karcely remain at the feat of fan,
(Ave a few children, who were bufily employed in
c. 'ldling the cbrap remains of the gilded editions.

As (non as the Raring crowd affembled oppofite
the inn, the company threw open the windows to

Nor were the hewing 0 fin lefs induftrions in their
attentive replies, by pointing to a Gentleman of

merited compliment pail him, heftily retired from
his confpicuous fear, and the loud laugh and titter
having convinced the multitude of their error, they
quickly followed the unknown Prince's example.
