London, September 24. Yesterday at noon his Danish Majesty
came from his apartments at St. James's, attended by his
nobles, through St. James's Park to Westminister bridge,
where he embarked on the upper side with his retinue, being
met by Sir Robert Lanbroke, 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 musick playing, drums beating, cannon
firing, and amidst the glad acclamations 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, went through the center arch of
Westminister bridge, saluted by the firing of cannon at
Lambeth, Stangate, &c., being followed by all the companies'
barges.
