- Depiction: The success gained by the allied armies over Napoleon and his forces, and the series of French disasters which had culminated at Leipzig, gave rise to rejoicings all over the country, in celebration of the supposed downfall of the Corsican Emperor . . . . Norwich, according to the print, is the scene of disorderly revelry. A huge bullock has been roasted whole in the marketplace, and the carcass is being cut up and distributed in the streets. The unruly mob fighting over the morsels and wrenching the bones from those who are ravenously picking them. Scuffles, struggles, scrimmages, and savage onslaughts are the order of the day. At the same time a puncheon of beer or spirits is broached for gratutious distribution, and a pretty spectacle of misrule is the consequence.
