Yesterday at noon his Danish Majesty came from his
apartments at St James's, attended by his nobles, through
St. James's Park to Westminster-Bridge, where he embarked on
the upper side, with his retinue, being met by Sir Robert
Ladbroke, Knight, Locum Tenens, with the city officers
regalia, &c. at whose meeting his majesty expressed the
greatest satisfaction; The King, his nobles, the Locum
Tenens, and all the company being seated in the City Barge,
the music playing, drums beating, cannon firing, and amidst
the glad acclamation of thousands of British subjects, the
Barge was put off, and taking a stretch as high as
Parliament stairs, took a sweep into the middle of the
stream. . .
