delight of their hearts. To crown the day, a
number of respectable citizens drank tea with the Mayoress,
after which they adjourned to the Town Hall and commenced
dancing, which was kept up for a long time with great spirit and
regularity.

"_Tuesday_ morning was ushered in with ringing of bells, etc.,
and a great number of people assembled before the 'Ship' Inn to
dance, during which the ladies were engaged in ornamenting, with
flowers, flags and emblems, two boats placed on wheel sledges
drawn by the populace. In fitting them up with such taste and
elegance, Miss P--d and Miss S. T--l were particularly active
and deserve every praise. At three o'clock the Mayor and a

start, the former filled by ladies with garlands and other
emblems of Peace in their hands, and the latter with musicians;
but previous to their removal Lord Wellington and some Cossacks
appeared on horseback in search of Bonaparte, who according to

back and taken, being met by a miller, who jumped up behind him
and, observing his dejected and mournful countenance, embraced
him with all the seeming fondness of a parent, desiring him to
rouse up his spirits, if possible, to preserve his life.
The grand procession of boats now began by a slow but graceful
movement of the first, in the bow of which was a dove with
outspread wings, holding an olive branch in her mouth.
The boats were followed by a great concourse of people through
the streets, and on their return were met by many gentlemen with
wine, etc. This day, like the preceding, ended with a merry
dance in the Town Hall.

"_Wednesday's_ rejoicings opened at noon with a dinner at the
'King of Prussia,' attended by the survivors of the disbanded
Troy Volunteer Artillery, attired in the uniforms of that
ever-famous corps. The sight of the old regimentals evoked the
tears of sensibility from more than
