"distory informs Us, that some of your
Royal predecessors have visited this country;
but the same authority obliges US to add, un-
der untoward circumstances, and in periods
of national agitation aud disunioa. How de.
lightfu,iy contrssted the occasion upon
which your Majesty appears amongst US! In
the person OF you, Royal Sire, we behold the
first Monarch who has landed upon our
shores, to receive the enthusiastic homage of
the entire Island, and, in the rapture Of Ma
toms welcome, 70 psriake OF the haPpincss
ne communicates.
"You are now, Sire, about to enter your
ancient and loyal city Of Du6lin.-The &C.
clamation. of assembled thousands accompa-
ny yoIr Msiesty's advahce-they are the
richest offerings which love and gratitude eau
make, for they are the spontaneous bursts of
the heart, and are sure to be received with q
corresponding emotion by Sovereign,
whose first ambition has uniformly been to
reign in the affection Of all his people"
We had a full view OF the Recorder when
he delivered this address, and We will VEN
ture to affirm: never was an address better
delivered, or with more effect 1t was not
in the old stale style OF reading from writ
ten paper, in q cold, moaOtonous voice-it
| was delivered with much warmth OF fesllDg,
and in eloquent Language. Ills majesty pia.
| lean towards the Recorder; he seemed most
anxou, not to lose syllable of the address,
! and near the conclusion of il, his majesty
| appeared very eensibly affected. The Lord
Mayor, Recorder, &c. now retired to their
respective Carriages. which were to precede
his majesty toto the Guy, and this caused
delay OF nearly ten minutes, during which
time his ma je.ty remained near the city gate,
standing up in his carriage uncovered, and
bowling TO The mali ude who surrounded him.
Some of the lower order, during this interval,
forced their way almost up To tbs very door
OF his majesty's carriage--shou,Iug out, God
bless yoa--lreiand loves you;' his Majesty
now held up his hat, in which, instead Of the
| usual military cockade, appeared large
shamrock, on which II M placed his hand in
the most sig nficant msnner, waving in order
that the national emblem should he seen by
ali around him. A loud shout Immediately
followed, which soon reached 60 the lower
srd of SackvilIe street. The procession now
| moved forward down Sackyiie street; when
it had reached opposite the house OF MIR.
Watts, his majesty recognized The Prince and
Princess EoterhaZy in the windows, upon
which he gave them Z most gEacioos salute OF
recognition.
Ills Majesty surveyed with much apparent,
satisfaction Lie elegant structure OF the Post
Office, which was literally covered with PEG.
pie. The Foreign Ambassador and their
suites occupied the balconies erected in front.
The distinguished strangers seemed delighted
with the nanmisy which pervaded our I'M.
mense population, and joined in the eh-ere.-

The streets were lined with military, and
