possible to recognise theubjects which we have hitherto
been accustomed to see on that site. The whole arra

these seats, we suppose, spectators 1w consoled. for
the total absence of the pion rut of the procession, by
the reflection that they saw the roof of the royal plat-
form, and we were behind those who actually sat, the
King! These buildings have risen o ith the talismanic
