A particular account of the Procession of her Majesty Queen Caroline,
to St. Paul's Church, London, on Wednesday the 29th November,
1820, to offer up prayers for her happy escape from her enemies.

At an early hour this morning the streets of the metropolis in the line through which her Majesty was to pass became crowded with passengers. The inhabitants of the houses in the Strand, and the other great thoroughfares, barrocaded with boards their doors and windows, and but for the presence of elegantly dressed females who filled every window, it might be thought that every house was prepared for a siege. From all parts of the town, horsemen decorated with white favours, were traversing the streets towards Hyde Park Corner, to form her body guard. The crowd locked arm-in-arm, leaving only a narrow part of the road for carriages to pass. The honourary guard, consisting of upwards of 1000 gentlemen on horseback began to form at Hyde Park Corner about half-past nine. The several trades, on foot, formed behind the horsemen. The latter were under the guidance of Sir Robt. Wilson, and the former directed by Sir G. Noel.

About 20 minutes before ten, her Majesty accompanied by Lady Anne Hamilton and another lady quitted Brandenburgh House, and the procession to Hyde-park-corner was in the following order—

### Three Trumpeters.

Twelve Gentlemen of the eastern division on horseback.

The gentlemen of the eastern division of the metropolis

A body of well mounted horsemen, decorated with white ribbands, amounting to 4 or 500.

Twelve gentlemen of the committee.

Then followed the procession of the City authorities.

Her Majesty's carriage.

THE QUEEN and Lady Anne Hamilton.

The carriages of her Majesty's suite.

The gentlemen of the western division of the Metron on horseback, amounting to 4 or 500, with committees in the same order as those which led the way.

Some of the trades with their banners.

Private carriages.

Sir Robert Wilson, Mr. Hume, and Sir Gerard Noel were present on horseback.

Mr. Hobhouse followed in one of the carriages.

In the progress of her Majesty the most extraordinary enthusiasm was displayed; the universal waving of handkerchiefs from windows and house tops, the shouts of the multitude, and the general good humour displayed, presented a spectacle alike disheartening to the enemies of the Queen, and good order.

The grand western entrance was opened to the public till half-past 11, when the doors were closed till the arrival of the Queen. A few minutes before 12 the committee of 60 ladies to receive her Majesty at the Cathedral, entered the choir and took their seats. They were all splendidly dressed in white, their hair decorated with white ribands, over which white veils were gracefully thrown, and hung on their bosoms and shoulders. So much beauty we never before held in the same number of females.

At half past 12 her Majesty entered St. Paul's, and the great organ began to peal a solemn hymn. Her Majesty walked slowly and solemnly up to the seat appointed for her, escorted by the sheriffs and a deputation of the Common Council. Lady Anne Hamilton was on the Queen's right, and Sir R. Wilson on her left. Mr. Keppel Craven stood below, in front of her Majesty.

The Lord Mayor, Aldermen, Sheriffs Waithman and Williams took their seats on the opposite side of the choir. Her Majesty was dressed in white, with a large white veil thrown over her head, and which she did not raise from her face during the whole time she was in the cathedral. As soon as the Queen was placed in her seat, she turned round, and kneely low, down, offered up the usual silent prayer. Morning service then commenced, and the cxl. psalm was sung, beginning,

‘Deliver me, O Lord, from the evil man; and preserve me from the wicked man.’ And ending with

‘The righteous also shall give thanks unto thy name; and the just shall continue in thy sight.’

As was also the cxli. Psalm, beginning

‘Lord I call upon thee; haste thee unto me, and consider my voice when I cry unto thee.’ And ending

‘Let the ungodly fall into their own nets together; and let me ever escape them.’

The service was concluded with the utmost decorum at a quarter before two.

Her Majesty was then handed from her seat by the Lord Mayor, and on entering her carriage she was received with the loudest acclamations.

Any thing like the appearance of St. Paul's churchyard and Ludgate-hill, as far as the eye could reach, mocks every attempt at a description. The houses were absolutely roofed with people, and the fronts of them almost invisible from the crowds that filled the windows, &c. The flags were so numerous and varied that they resembled a bed of beautiful tulips.
