On Wednesday his Excellency with his suite, attended by
Captains Mowatt and Elphinston of the Royal Navy, dined at
the house of Justice Robertson, with the principal
inhabitants. In the evening a public supper and ball was
given by the town and conducted with the greatest festivity
and decorum, which did not break up till 5 o'clock next
morning, when his Excellency returned on board the Sophee,
as highly pleased with the entertainment as the company
appeared gratified and delighted at his presence.
