[London] This morning the crown was privately sent for, from
the tower, to the House of Lords. At the same time the lord
mayor received a letter from a member of Parliament, that
the house would rise this day; whereupon his lordship sent
to the mansion-house his bed, bedding, &c. in two hackney
coaches. Immediately summonses were issued out to all the
common council men, to meet at Guildhall . .. We hear that
the procession was intended to be in the following order,
viz. The artillery company, with music playing, drums
beating, and colours flying, and preceded by Mr. Alderman
Wilkes on horseback . . . The bells of St. Michael's,
Cornhill, Bow Church, St. Lawrence's, St. Bride's, and St.
Dunstan's were ordered to ring on the joyful occasion.
