On Wednesday evening, the 18th of August, after passing the day with Mr. Wells, owner of the celebrated Piersfield estate, the returning party arrived at the Beaufort Arms, Monmouth; Lord Nelson, on his way to Milford, having promised the mayor and corporation that he would again visit them.  Next morning, amidst the ringing of bells, and preceded by a band of music, they set out, in a carriage with four horses, for the famous Kymin Pavillion; where they were not only received with enthusiasm by the company, but saluted by a discharge of cannon; the militia band playing—­“God save the King!”—­“Rule, Britannia!” &c.  After taking breakfast in the banqueting-room, they proceeded to the Naval Temple, which his lordship surveyed with great attention.  They then walked through the Beaulieu Grove:  and, when they had sufficiently surveyed this delightful scene, in order to gratify the public curiosity, they walked back to Monmouth; receiving, as they passed, the grateful applauses of all ranks of people.  At four o’clock, they sat down to an elegant dinner, at the Beaufort Arms, with the mayor, corporation, and most of the principal inhabitants.  On the health of—­“The Hero of the Nile!” being drank, his lordship arose; and, in an admirable speech, expressed his gratitude for their kind attentions.  Lady Hamilton sung two songs, with her usual scientific taste, and superior vocal excellence, which quite enraptured the whole company.  “Words, indeed,” says a writer in one of the provincial journals, on this occasion, would “but ill convey an idea of the life and spirit which this deservedly admired lady gave to the festive board!  In short, the polite and engaging behaviour of Lord Nelson, as well as of Sir William and Lady Hamilton, impressed on the minds of the visitors the most unqualified respect and admiration of their characters.”  The meeting broke up at eight o’clock; his lordship and friends being engaged to pass the evening at the Honourable Colonel Lindsay’s.

On Friday, after walking in the town, viewing the public buildings, &c. they set out for Ross; where a triumphal arch, ornamented with laurel and oak, and bearing an appropriate inscription, had been erected for the hero to pass through.  From hence, they paid a visit to Rudhall, the seat of Thomas Westfaling, Esq. where, in the evening, there was a splendid ball and supper, to which all the principal families, for some miles round, were invited.  A deputation from the mayor and corporation of Hereford, having waited on Lord Nelson, at Rudhall, requesting he would honour that city with his presence, his lordship obligingly consented; and, on Monday morning, proceeded thither.  Being met by the populace, near the city, about twelve o’clock, they took the horses from his carriage, and drew the hero and his friends to the hotel; where they were received by his Grace the Duke of Norfolk, Recorder of Hereford.  Shortly after, they proceeded to the town-hall; the militia band playing—­“See,
