Theatrical Intelligence. Drury-Lane. Clandestine Marriage,
&c. commanded by their Majesties. There cannot be a
stronger expression of gentle affection to an amiable
monarch, than the universal shouts of a crowded audience at
his appearance among them; . . . [discussion of signs of
love or disaffection by people] Immediately after the play
was over, one of the honest Tars, belonging to a Press Gang,
who had taken their seats in the upper gallery, addressed
his Majesty with a political speech, the purport of which
was the recommendation of a Spanish War;. . . [3 lines
continue] The Sailors gave three cheers, and the Boatswain
joined with his harmonious whistle. Their Majesties seemed
to enjoy the public humour, and very condescendingly bowed
to the audience.
