As soon as the Imperial child had been baptized, the governess placed him in the hands of the Empress; the First Herald-at-Arms advanced to the middle of the choir and called out three times, "Long live the King of Rome!"

A herald-at-arms appeared at the bar of the Commons, and demanded the surrender of the five members.
