Morning Chronicle
for July 12 contains the announcement that "the Prince Regent has projected a
Grand National Fête
in honour of the battle of Vittoria. It is to be held at Vauxhall Gardens." The
fête
was held on Tuesday, July 20, beginning with a banquet, at which such toasts were drunk as "The Marquis of Wellington," "Sir Thomas Graham and the other officers engaged," "The Spanish Armies and the brave Guerillas." The
báton
of Marshal Jourdan was "disposed among the plate, so as to be obvious to all." The proceedings ended with illuminations and dancing.
