HIDE PARR

The intoikation of delight which has prevailed
'throughout the metropolis for the last week, in ccn-
sequeitre of the presence of the Emperor of Ittisste
and King of Peussia, was yesterday at its height.— ,
As it had beOn generally understood that these au.
aa,ist personages would make their appearance in
Hyde Park, for the gratification of the Oldie, as early
as ten o'clock the multitude began to assemble in
that direction, and every avenue leading thereto pre-
sented a scene of bustle and confusion almost incre-
dible. The foot-paths were not sufficiently capacious
to contain the pedestrians, and, in cOasequence,.the
middle of the streets were crowded by greupes of
Well-dressed persons. whore safety was often endan-
gered by the rapid progress of carriages, carts, gigs,
buggies, post chaises, and every other description of
wheaed vehicle, which. were all proceediug towards
the grand centre of attraction ; and to these might
be added troops of equestrians of all ranks, from the
well mounted Jockey, to the not less anxious .dtaiman,
whose eagerness to reach the destined goal was evin-
ced by a thousand extravagancies.
The assemblage of this vast concourse having been
anticipated, troops of Horse Guards were placed
along Piccadilly, and at the various gates of ingress
to the Park, with the view of keeping order, and pre-
serving something like a free passage for those illus-
trious individuals whose presence was so anxiously
desired. In defiance, however, of all entreaty, the
multitude rushed forward in such prodigious swarms,
that the Horse Guards were carried away in the un-
governable torrent, and obliged to give up a task
which it would have required more than human
strength or influence to perform. Before two o'clock
every spot within the Park, where it was possible to
tbtain room for a carriage, was filled, and the inter-
stices which remained were closely packed with horse-
•-men, who were so completely locked within each
other, that the patience of the riders and their horses
became completely exhausted. While the Park
within exhibited this extraordinary scene, the avenues
without were not leis numerously attended, for thou-
sands of vehicles which had come too late to force
admission, were drawn up in treble rows in Piccadilly,
• Oaford-street, Park-lane, and the adjoining streets,
their inmates having deserted them, and mixed in the
motley throng, which amidst dangers that, on any
other occasion. would have been deemed insurmoun-
table, wedged themselves in between horses and car-
riages, and sacrificing all ordinary fears, risked their
lives and their limbs in the hope of being able to gain
a transient view of individuals whose actions had ren-
dered them so deservedly celebrated. To give an
adequate idaa of the distress, and we might almost
say the human misery which naturally arose out of
such an assemblage, so situated, is almost impossible.
In one place was seen a Lady in hystetics—in another,
a beautiful female, who had been torn from her pro-
tector, in the wildest affright, entreating mercy fram
the overwhelming throng—in a third place, were
seen parents who had lost their children—and again,
children who had last their parents. Nothing, in
fact, could exceed the dreadful, the irremediable con-
fusion which every where prevailed. Amidst this
harrowing noise, the approach of the Emperor of
Russia and his mite was announced—and
Ten thousand tongues,
Ten thousand pair of iron
by their exulting shouts drowned all minor conside-
ration. That crowd, which had before almost reach.
ed the acme of human varetchedoess, was now des-,
tined to encounter new difficulties. The Hoise Guards
were .constrained to resort' almost to measures of
downright hostility to obtain a passage for the ap-
proaching cavalcade, and many were the severe con-
tusions which the shins aad toes of the populace re-
ceived from their horses' hoofs, in order to avoid
which the pressure became so irtsupportable, that
numbers -who had stemmed every difficulty till then,
were forced to yield to superior strength, and take re-
fuge under the carriages, and even the horses, where,
in trembling anxiety, they awaited the hour of their
liberation. At three o'clock his Imperial Majesty,
accompanied by the Duke of KENT, and a long train
of Ituss'an Officers, and English Noblemen and Gen-
tlemen, entered the Park from Piccadilly gate. He
was mounted on a beautiful charger, and as he slim-
ly proceeded, bowed in the most condescending man-
ner to the loud and enthusiastic cheers which rent the
air as he proceeded. The Duke of KENT rode in ad-
vatice, and with-the greatest humanity entreated that
as mach indelgeace as possible might be afforded to'
the populace. .His Royal Highness was attended by
a party.of the Blues, who cleared the way with much
precaution.
The King of PRUSSIA ghostly afterwards, attended
lay his two sons, the Duke of YORK and a numerous
and distinguished suite, entered, and had in his pro-
gloss to enctunter the same difficulties. „He, like his
illustrious Ally, was received with thunders of ap-
plause, which burst from every heart and every lip,
with a rapture almost bordering on madness.
The next objects of attraction were, the veteran
BLUCHER and PLATOFF, who were surrounded by a
swarm—Et:oth cavalty--*ho, from the dust with
which they were covered, and the motliness of their
appearance, would not have disgraced the deserts of
Arabia. The gallant Generals were attended by an !
orderly Cossack, whose uniform was red a but whose
costume, in other respects, resembled the soldier of,
this class, who formerly made his appearance with so
much eclat on the samespot.
The whole of these highly venerated characters
made thetour of the Park, with the utmost difficulty,
gratifying as they went, perhaps a more numerous
and more splendid assemblage of the British nation
than was ever collected on any former occasion..
Amidst this unprecedented scene, another object
was presented to the eye of the populace—we mean,
ker RoyalHighnessthePrincessCnatturrreoi WALES,
who was recognised with a feeling of ecstasy, which
would scarce admit of utterance. She was surround.
ed on all sides, by her future subjects, who vied with
each other in their expressions of respect.
Lord CASTLEILCAOII also appeared amidst the
throng, and was cheered in the loudest manner.—
Sir CCIARIAS STEWART, Lord Btu-moue, Lord HILL,
and other distingniehed Characters, were likewise re-
cognised, and received a dee proportion of applause.
As the crowd moved through Piccadill homewards,
they stopped c•isposite theAtheney Hotel, and again
'had the pleasure of seeing his Imperial Meager', and
the Archduchess, who kindly appeared at the win-
dOwas and frequently bowed to the multitude.
