London. March 2. Yesterday being the anniversary of her
Majesty's birth day, their Majesties receiv'd at noon the
compliments of the nobility, foreign ministers, and other
persons of distinction of both sexes. At night there was a
ball. The appearance was at both times very numerous and
extremely splendid. On this occasion the guns in the park
and at the town were fired; and in the evening there were
bonfires, illuminations, and other publick demonstrations of
joy thro'out London and Westminster.
The same day being St. David's Day, the tutelar saint of
Wales, their Majesties and all the Royal Family wore leeks
in honour of the day.
