“Whereas a definitive treaty of peace, and friendship, between us, the French Republic, His Catholic Majesty, and the Batavian Republic, hath been concluded at Amiens on the 27th day of March last, and the ratifications thereof have been duly exchanged; in conformity thereunto, We have thought fit, hereby, to command that the same be published throughout all our dominions; and we do declare to all our loving subjects our will and pleasure, that the said treaty of peace, and friendship, be observed inviolably, as well by sea as by land, and in all places whatsoever; strictly charging, and commanding, all our loving subjects to take notice hereof, and to conform themselves thereunto, accordingly. “Given at our Court at Windsor, the 26th day of April, 1802, in the forty-second year of our reign. “God save the King.” On the 29th of April, a public proclamation of the same was made, and it must have been a far more imposing spectacle than the very shabby scene displayed in 1856. All mustered in the Stable-yard, St. James’s. The Heralds and Pursuivants were in their proper habits, and, preceded by the Sergeant Trumpeter with his trumpets, the Drum Major with his drums, and escorted on either side by Horse Guards, they sallied forth, and read aloud the Proclamation in front of the Palace. We can picture the roar of shouting, and the waving of hats, after the Deputy Garter’s sonorous “God save the King!” A procession was then formed, and moved solemnly towards Charing Cross, where another halt was made, and the Proclamation was read, the Herald looking towards Whitehall. The following is the order of the procession: Two Dragoons. Two Pioneers, with axes in their hands. Two Trumpeters. Horse Guards, six abreast. Beadles of Westminster, two and two, with staves. Constables of Westminster. High Constable, with his staff, on horseback. Officers of the High Bailiff of Westminster, with white wands, on horseback. Clerk of the High Bailiff. High Bailiff and Deputy Steward. Horse Guards. Knight Marshal’s men, two and two. Knight Marshal. Drums. Drum Major. Trumpets. Sergeant Trumpeters. Pursuivants. Sergeants-at-Arms. { Heralds. } Sergeants-at-Arms. { King-at-Arms. } Horse Guards. Horse Guards flanked the Procession. Horse Guards flanked the Procession.
