London, April 18th. A correspondent informs us, that to
morrow, the 19th, being Saint Yankey's day (as tutelar saint
of North America,) and also anniversary of the famous battle
of Lexington! the same will be most honorably observed by
all the true and loyal friends to government from that
country. There will be a grand procession from the Crown and
Anchor, the place of rendezvous in the Strand, to St.
Dunstan's, where sermon suitable to the occasion will be
presented by the Rev. Mr. Coriolinus; from New York. [51
lines] The procession will be preceded by the doctor of
music from Rhode Island, with the newly raised band of
Highland bagpipers; and the whole to move upon the quick
step, to the tune of Yankie Doodle. . . [9 lines]
