they were pi. iced in thecil-tody of the several ward

crown in its casein the same mode as when it is
conveyed to the House of Lords on state occasions.
I This crown was conveyed to the house of Major

the jewel was clamorously pressed to retire, and
leave the Inst remainiiiJt ortitle (ihe wine fountain,)

Mr. Swifte states thai having seen the ht arii

had become itself nhnost. like a furnace, ho with
diOicuhy cll' cted his escape, for the fl imcc fronj the

his way t i the house of the governor, and having
again examined the regalia, (paitieuhrly her Ma

Mr. Swifte staiea that the intrinsic value nf the
