Extract of a Letter from London, Sept. 22.

The Grandeur of the Coronation this Day is not to be described, nor can you have a perfect Account of it. In the mean Time I think proper to inform you, that previous to the late Royal Marriage the Dispute was revived about the Precedence of the Irish Peers walking at the Wedding of their Majesties, when the King directed, that the Privy Council should enquire and report the Precedents as they appeared upon similar Occasions, upon which Report, the Irish Peers and Peeresses were admitted to walk, and were marshalled in the Procession together with the Peers and Peeresses of Great Britain, according to their respective Degrees, taking Place of the British Nobility of inferior Rank.
