At o'clock the Prince held a levee at

replied as follow:
I sincerely thank you for the addresses
presented to me, and for the hearty wei,
come received from you on my landing on
the shores of this the earliest colonial pos.
session of the British crown. 1 trust you
viii not think me regardless Of your jealous
loyalty if l acknowledge these addresses
collectively. 1t will afford me the greatest
satisfaction to report TO the Queen your de-
yotion to her crown and person, so unmistak-
ably evidenced by the reception of her son,
and eloquently expressed in the addresses
from various bodies in this town and harbor,
l am charged by the Queen to convey 10
you the assurance of the deep concern ever
felt by her in this interesting portion Of her
dominions. l shall carry back lively rec
objection of this days proceedings, and Of
the kindness shown to myself-but above all
ofthose hearty demonstrations of patriotism
which prove your deeprooted attachment to
the great and free country of which we all
glory to be called the sons"
The Prince pleases the populace immense
ly by his handsome countenance and milo
and gentlemanly bearing.
