ed with red cockadcs, and with bands
round their hats, with the motto " Hunt
for erer" continued 10 arrive at lslington
between eleven and twelve o'clock.
Mr.. West set off at All early hour TO
apprize Hunt Of the avalcade that was i'm
preparation. About half past nine. a
coach drawn by six bays, together with
two hackney clariots, were seen proceed
ing down Fleet-street, and upon arriving
opposite the lodgings Of DIR. Watson.
Three Kings Court, they stopped for
time, until the doctor came forward aud
took his seat. He was dressed i'm his usu

To MIR. Hunt; and narrow piece of

Their surprised that they were not more
numerous, for there was reason 10 ex

upon which they were called out, would
have draw forth much greater numbers.

were unfurled aud orders given 10 prepare
for the march. Two fresh coaches hav-

them filled with femalcs--ihe whole

gress in slow time, TO The tune of God
sare the king. They moved on until thew
reached the turn TO Holloway, when the
word being given" Left Wheel" they
proceeded EDWARDS towards Hghgale and
halted al tile Holloway turnpike. Here
some time was spent in discussion, and il
was ultimately determined upon that the

his arrival, while great numbers of the

There were many of the foot passengers
who did not go beyond HOLLOWAY, but
hundreds, who could afford the expense
OF some species OF vehicle pressed on,
either from the eagerness of curiosity, or
a desire 10 be as early as possible in their
congratulations.
During The halt at tile turnpike gate,

of the people. II will be remembered
that he was one OF those IS mo were wound.
