A PLAIN AND LOYAL ADDRESS.
In H.Mys. walk of this Morning He went along the Terrace near The River in his way to the Observatory. As He passed along, some Men going down the River in a Boat hailed Him with " God Bless Your Majesty, long lite & health to You, We are glad to see you abroad again." The King was well pleased with this plain & loyal Address—Pulling off his Hat, He graciously bowed to Them.
This hearty congratulation from a few loyal Men was not indifferent to Him. Its impression on Him marked, that caution towards Him must not be yet overlooked. The shouts of Crouds might be too much for Him just now. His natural feelings are strong, they are not less susceptible now, & tho' it may be said at present, that He is recovered, his Mind should still be supported.
We saw H.My. this evening again on his return through the Antiroom. He spoke to Us some time quite collectedly & as Himself again. I thought Him rather languid but this seemed to be owing to his being somewhat sleepy after all He had gone through in the course of this day. * * * *
