barouches, chaise, and other vehicles, -filled with
respectable and decent women. It tnal►-be doubted
whether, since the days of Queen Elizabeth, when
Greenwich was a royal seats and when festivals ands
aquatic spectacles first laid the basis of its import,
ante, its neighbourhood has ever presented a more
lively and interesting scene. Here a pretty correct
understanding seethed to prevail that her Majesty
would pass over Blackheath about five 'o'clock.—
It was here, too, that the feelings of respect and
attachment to
_this illustrious Lady were perhaps
most deeply 'seated. They appeared to derive their
origin rather from reflection, than from'a contagious
sympathy with the fortunes of an unassisted Princess.
Her long residence on the spot under a less exalted
title, but in circumstances -not less painful and ha-
' sassing, had evidently left an impression in her favour
which not the subsequent lapse of tithes and still leis
Any vague rumours, could obliterate. The resolution
manifested in coming, upon her own voluntary mo-
tion, to face her accusers and assert her claims, was
considered by these partial friends and admirers at
satisfactory evidence of her innocence, and as amply
sufficient to repel every suspicion. Nothing certainly'
could exceed the warm enthusiasm or eager welcome
with which her Majesty's presence was greeted as
mon as she appeared amongst them. The descent
of the cavalcade whith preceded her down Shooter's
Hill, amidst the joyous Waving of hats, and the
reiterated shouts of thousands, had a fine effect AS
beheld at the opposite extremity of Blackheath.—
On arriving at the Green Man, her Majesty's car-
riage-drew up, and-she alighted. A momentary (lc-
pression, arising chiefly from fatigue, rendered a
short repose desirable. The attraction now grew
more intense, and in order to prevent confusion, and
allay the thirst of curiosity, the Queen, at the advice
of Alderman Wood, after partaking of some refresh.
ment, condescended to appear at one of the windows
of the inn. The crowd, at once satisfied and ani-
mated at this appearance, Istirst into a vehement and
protracted shout of applause. Her Majesty bowed
'gracefully, and, notwithstanding her anxiety and
fatigue,. looked remarkably well. She was dressed
in a black twilled sarcenet gown, a for tippet and
ruff, with a hat of black satin and feathers. After a
delay of about twenty minutes she resumed her jour-
ney. As the weather had now cleared up, and the
rays of the sun increased the splendour of the scene,
the carriage was thrown open, and every one gratified
with an immediate view of their Sovereign's consort.
—Mr. Alderman Wood, Lady Ann Hamilton, and
a female attendant, rode in the same carriage. In
the second carriage, s chaise 'and four, was a man of
colour, and a quantity of luggage; and in a third,
also a chaise and four, were her Majesty's protege,
Mr. William Austin, and Mr. Wood, jun. The ac-
clamations were now renewed, and continued without
interruption till the entire cavalcade reached the Me-
tropolis, when they swelled into a yet louder strain.
Her Majesty was evidently affected, though not over-
come, by these testimonies of reverence and loyaltjr.
It was obvious that she had anticipated no less, and
that she had formed a right estimate of the national
character. Whilst many expressed their feelings in
a tone of congratulation, fervent benedictions might
be heard from the less vociferous par t of the assem-
blage. So•earnest was the general sentiment of re-
spect, that every carriage in the Royal Suite was ho-
noured by some mark of popular applause. It is dif-
ficult to give a just picture of the manner in which
her Majesty was received by her people—never did
we witness a more glowing, a more generous, or en-
thusiastic expression of the public feeling.

The streets through which she passed were literally
crammed withanxious crowds suddenly collected, all,
animated by one sentiment of regard and of devotion
to this Illustrious Personage. Her entrance was, in
fact, a tritnnphal entrance. All ranks of society
seemed to vie with each other in shewing to her Mai-
jesty the tenderness due to a persecuted woman, the
respect and attention due to the Queen of England:
Almost all the windows of allshe houses in the streets
through which the cavalcade passed, were filled with,
elegant women and Gentlemen, who paid to her Ma=
jetty every demonstration of respect. One continued
shout was *heard long before her Majesty crossed
Westminster Bridge, but greatly increased as she
passed by Carlton Palace. Though not originally
intended to pass up 'Pall-mall, this direction was
taken by the great body of horsemen who preceded
the Royal carriage, and it was not thought neces-
sary to turn suddenly off, or change their course. The
sentries on duty at Carlton Palace presented arms,
but in a manner indicating that some reserve and em-
barrassment extended even to their humble stations.
As she proceeded up St. James's-street, the interest
of the scenethickened ; the windows of all the elegant
and fashionable houses at that end of the town were
thronged with spectators. The brilliant effect was
increased in interest and dignity by the affectionate

and sex. la the different Club-houses of St. Jaines's-
