The Gates of the Castle were kept shut yesterday, and none were admitted without Tickets, a few excepted, who crowded in with the French Ambassador's Carriage. The Town was exceedingly full, but it is supposed Numbers left the Place without gratifying their Curiosity; for, not being able to procure Admittance within the Castle Gates, they saw no Part of the Procession. Indeed they were in as ridiculous a Situation as the Irish Gentleman in the Jubilee, who came from Dublin to Stratford-upon Avon (upwards of two Hundred Miles) for no other Purpose than to see that Procession, and slept during the whole Time it was passing.
