His MAJESTY passed through Petersfield about four o’clock, escorted by a small party of the 10th Hussars, A vast concourse of persons assembled opposite the Dolphin Inn, and paraded the London road, in anxious expectation, for several hours previous to his MAJESTY’s arrival. A colour was hoisted on the tower, and the bells rang a merry peal, to welcome our beloved Sovereign into the town. Many Gentlemen, with the Mayor and other respectable persons, rode out to meet him. His Majesty was received there with the most enthusiastic greetings, and appeared in good health and spirits. He graciously condescended to shake hands in the most cordial manner with General HUGONIN; kindly asked after his family, and conversed for several minutes while the horses were changing. All the respectable families in the town and neighbourhood were assembled at the Dolphin Inn, eager to evince their loyalty and get a sight of their Sovereign; and the children of the several schools were also assembled, which rendered the scene truly gratifying.His Majesty the King stopped in Petersfield
