We are informed, that as the money landed from the Hermione
was conveying from Ripley to Kingston, his Grace the Duke of
Newcastle met them at the gates of his park, regaled the
officers with wine, and the other people with as much strong
beer, &c. as they chose, and wished them much joy of their
success.
The procession of the treasure, taken in the Spanish
Register-ship, to the tower on Thursday, was in the
following order: A company of light horse, attended with
kettle-drums, French horns, trumpets, and hautboys. A
covered waggon, decorated with an English jack, and a
Spanish flag underneath, hanging behind the waggon. Two
more covered waggons. . .
