CHAPTER VII.
1800 - 1801 Nelson separates himself from his Wife--Northern Confederacy--He goes to the Baltic, under Sir Hyde Parker--Battle of Copenhagen, and subsequent Negotiation--Nelson is made a Viscount.
NELSON was welcomed in England with every mark of popular honour.
At Yarmouth, where he landed, every ship in the harbour hoisted her colours.

The mayor and corporation waited upon him with the freedom of the town, and accompanied him in procession to church, with all the naval officers on shore, and the principal inhabitants.

Bonfires and illuminations concluded the day; and on the morrow, the volunteer cavalry drew up, and saluted him as he departed, and followed the carriage to the borders of the county.

At Ipswich, the people came out to meet him, drew him a mile into the town, and three miles out.

When he was in the AGAMEMNON, he wished to represent this place in parliament, and some of his friends had consulted the leading men of the corporation--the result was not successful; and Nelson, observing that he would endeavour to find out a preferable path into parliament, said there might come a time when the people of Ipswich would think it an honour to have had him for their representative.
