INTENDED PROCESSION AT BR 1011710:11.!: I

1•
r

Aoserents received this Morning from Mildew
stale, that Mr Benjamin Bloomfield had arrived MA*
Palms yesterday evening, and that his Majesag wet
yarded at three o'clock this aftersooa. It is aisalierl
how mach the persons who pay their court to;lk•
Klieg, sow condescend to court, wherever they this&
they have a chance of saccess, the plaudits of the pa-
pdame in his favour. The very mode's they affect to
Immure on the part of the friends of the Queen, they
Mop most servilely to imitate. A public Meeting, it
arrears, was held yesterday, at the Old Ship Tavern,
Bee the purpose of arranging a procession in honour ,
of their patron's return ; and it cannot fail to raise a
smile to peruse the Notice they have issued, in which
they state the wanner in which it is determined they
shall meet his Majesty on his approach.
"That the procession consist of carriages, horseflies,
and pedestrians, in the following order
The pedestrians to form in a line on each side of the road
from the Pelee. to the Miry.
The carriages from the Dairy onwards to Preston.
The horses bopped the *engages in the same directive.
That each pima la this procession provide a der* Use
(*soar. to be alined to the let breast.
That all Gentleman la the procession (the: can costemsfeeity
amosemeslote Illeusemloes), be dnweesi in dark bleu
coats, with but waistcoats and that this be
particularly reommaimadod to the horsemen."

Much as the frugality of the parties was ridiculed
in the processions of her Majesty's friends, these
gentlemen do nut disdain from even espying that pru-
dent quality. " A Committee being appointed to
provide carriages sad ascertain the price per seat, all
persons desirous of ►eing accommodated with seats,
are requested to apply to the Committee at the Old
Ship Tavern, before ten o'clock to-morrow morning!"
A certain mode in which the public thought proper
to testify their joy on her Majesty's triumph, was
extremely reprobated ; and, where magisterial oti cleri-
cal mandates could prevail, attempted to be sup-
pressed.
At Brighton, on the present occasion, the inhabit-
sets are not left to the exercise of any volition or
option. Obnoxious as the measure is, they are im-
peratively told, that " a lolitNeßAL ILLUMINATION
Will take piece on Saturday evening."—"'This," adds
the Court Newsman of Brighton, " will indeed be a
joyous day—we pray that the weather will be benig-
nant." The Queen's days have been remarked as sin-
gularly propitious. These Brighton courtiers seem
to wish to rival her Majesty, even in their weather !!!

the Constitutional regulations of the Society, which
expressly prohibit every kind of discussion on

„s or political sithjects r that the persons who con-
resod the meeting bad assumed all authority to which
they were not entitled ; anti on a motion that the
meeting be immediately dissolved, it was carried by a
majority of more than a hundred, and not a single
dissentient expression was used by any one of the
loyal advocates who convened the meeting.

It may be useful to know that the Committee for
obtaining signatures to the Address to his Majesty,
from Kensington, are

Lient.-tieneral Fraser; Richard Drown, Req. Clerk
in the War-Office; Frederick Pratt Barlow, Clerk in a
tiovernmene.Office; Richard Chace, Esq. Magistrate;
Samuel Hutchins, Esq. Brother of an Officer in the Dra-
goons ; Rev. Thoinas Rennell, Vicar, and Son of the
Dean of Winchester; S. E. Sketchley, Esq. Magistrate.
An Address to her Majesty from the populous town
of Trowbridge is now in the course of signature.
There are already upwards of 3000 names affixed to
it, and it is supposed that when it readies town, there
will be at least 3000. A counter Address is lying at
the School-room, which, at the end of four days, has
received the signatnres of TWENTT-savers!!!
The New l'intes of this morning says, " When the
King of France was at Merit, there was among the

to say, that there was skeet of anti-Frenchmen, headed
by a certain Viscount de Chanteanbriant, who had

a principle, that no man who had served his country
during the absence of the liourbons, should remain
in office : to this latter set of nien M. Ouirot cer-
