We 1-ave also here, Count Hardenberg, from Aix-la-Chapelle, who will depart immediately ; General Maison, on his way to Paris ; and Prince Godlinman, going express from the Em peror of Russia to Madrid. NOVIDIBER 29.—Last Thursday his Majesty the King presented to his Highness Prince Metternich, the Grand Cordon and Insignia of the Order of the Belgic Lion. It is remarked that this is the 25th Order which has - been conferred on this Prince. The day before yesterday he paid visits of ceremony to all the Members of the Royal Family, and dined with the French Ambassador, the Marquis de Latour Dupin. Yesterday afternoon the Prince departed for, Aix-la-Chapelle, whence he will go to his estate of Johannesberg, and then to Vienna, where he will ar rive on the 14th of next month It is said that Prince Cambaceres, who has resided a long time in this city, will depart this evening or to-morrow to return to Paris. We received this morning Private Letters by the Flanders Mail, which state that confidence begins to be restored on the Continent. The Dutch Govern meat, aware of the serious evils likely to result from the late extensive failures, have taken the subject into consideration, in order to avert a national cala mity, and have agreed to advance five millions of guilders, for the relief of the Mercantile interests; two for the Merchants of Anrw•etp, and three for Amsterdam. This temporary aid has answered the purpose in a considerable degree, and Bills, which a few days ago would not be looked at, can now be .discounted at a legal interest. The following is an extract of a letter, dated An gustura, September 12, addressed to a respectable Commercial House in the City :--t , The public con cerns of this country were never, at any period, in so 'prosperous a state as at present. There is a super abundance of arms, ammunition, and every kind of warlike stores. The armies ate much increased in numbers, and greatly improved by discipline. Public confidence is doubled; and every man is smith two or what he was before. The Spaniards havereceired no reinforcements whatever ; and cannot now, in time for the opening of the campaign, hid they them to 'Fr.d, which does not appear to be the case. They have withdrawn from almost the whale of New Cit e nada ; and it is confidently expected by all here, that they will retire from, the whole . of Venezuela, and endeavour to defend Mexico, where various accounts mention numerous insurrections to have again broken out. Many of the Independtat Generals have left this place to assume the command of their various divisions, and to he ready to commerce operations the moment the weather will pzrrrit. General Bop- VA R is still here, and will probahly remain, until ho goes to make his public entry into the capital of Caraccas. Admiral Batox is at sea, with a strow .. squadron, and, in fact, the destruction of Spain, as a l Transatlantic Power, seems very nearly accomplished. I entertain as high an opinion (if rot an higher) of the honour of the supreme Chief Iloetvaa, and the Members cf the Council as ever I did." ROYAL ACADEMY. Last night A. CARLISLE, Est. F.R.S. delivered his third Lecture on the principles of Anatomy, as ap plicable to Painting. The Learned Profc•sor alluded to the interruption which had been occasioned in the regular delivery of his Course of Lectures, by the lamented death of the Consort of the Royal Founder of the Royal Academy, whom he described as the undeviating example of every virtue which could adorn her rank, or add lustre to her sex. Alt. CAn- LISLE had hardly began his Course of Lectures last year, when the lamented death of her Royal High ness the Princess CHARLOTTE occasioned a suspension of his labours ; and on the resent occasion, his Lec tures were nearly three weeks adjourned, owing to the death of the Quar.x. The Lecture of last night related entirely to the anatomical arrangement and conformation of the bones of the human body, which the Learned Professor pointed out and explained with his usual accuracy and perspicuity.—The a:- tendance was thin. Minute guns were fired on W.:,l:lesday, from ten ot'clock in the morning during the remainder of the nay, from the Queen Ctinat.orre, the flag-ship of Admiral Sir GEORGE CAMPBELL, at Portsmouth.- 1 All the shops were shut, and no business was done in the Dock-yard. The bell tolled a funeral knell dur- irg_the greater part of the day. DeqTRUCTIVE FlRE.—'Phis morning, between two and three o'clock, a fire broke out in the extensive premises of Messrs. NEWBURY, GREEN, and Co. St. John•street, Smithfield. It commenced in the mus tard manufactory.

The Commis sioners gave for Consols 79 money, and were served generally by the Jobbers. We lately announced that the Duke of Wettaro- TON is to succeed the Earl of MuLoßAve as Master- General of the OrdnAnce. His GRACE is shortly ex pected in Town to enter upon the duties of his new office. His late Aid-de -Camp, Colonel Sir F. B. HER VET, Bart. is to be the new Surveyor-General of , the Ordnance, in place of Achtdral Sir Rom= IVICURSOM ; and Major-General Lord EDWARD So ttitii.Ar to be his Grace's Private Secretary as Mas ter-General. We received the Paris Papers of Tuesday this fore noon. The Duke of WELLINGTON arrived, as was expect... 1, in the French capital on Sunday night. The Russian Ministers, Count YESSELRODE and Count LIEVEN, haire also arrived there from Aix-la-Chapelle. General LAM ARQUE, M. DEFertmoNr, and M. COURTIN, comprehended in the second list of the Ordinance of the 21th of Jul!, and who are among the number of French exiles who have received per mission to return to France, have lateV made their re-appearance in Paris. The L:npress of RuasrA, accompanied by the Prince and Prince.ss of ORANGE, the Grand Dukes . CON:iT A Rim and MICHAEL, with a numerous suite, arrived on the 21st ult. at Liege. The Prince and Princess of ORANGE here took an affectionate leave of [heir illustrious relatives, ho afterwards took the Toad_ of Ais-la-Cliapelle for Cologne. The Emperor of Russia, after some stay at Stut-, gard, is-to proceed by Weimar and Naumburg to Prague, and thence to Vienna. The two Empresses of RUSSIA do not intend to join the Emperor at Vienna, but propose to pass some time at Berlin, and to return by Mittau, Riga, and Revel, to Petersburgh. The Emperor of AUSTRIA arrived on the 221 at Munich, where he is expected to remain for about a week. The Archduke Palatine of HUNGARY has set out from Vienna for Sicily, wkere he is to pass the winter. His Highness returns afterwards to Florence, to meet there his broths the Emitßon, with whom he wili visit Yaples and Rome. A levy of recruits has been ordered throughout the Austrian dominions ; but it is limiled to 32,000 men, and is merely intended to reinforce the infantry of the line. The Austrian Government is stated to have made very considerable purchases every day, during the late sudden depression of stock, to prevent the fall from being still greater. The rate of discount had mounted from 15 to 20 per Lent. and the stagnation iu every branch of trade was daily augmenting. According w letters from Constantinople, the PORT]; has remitted to the RUSCIAN Emennou, his answer in respect to the contested boundaries on the banks of the Phasis. In Prussia a recruitment fix the army is going on, sins tr to that in Austria. The contingent for Iler• lin amounting to 2,000 men, has been supplied by voluntary enrolments, and it is said, that throughout the whole of the Prussian Provinces, an equal avidity for the military service prevails. A letter from Aix-la-Chapelle says, that the pro jects of exchange which have been so much talked of, have dwindled to an arrangement respecting a small district, which has been hitherto in dilute between Prussia and the Netherlands. French 5 per Cents. Monday, 69 fr. • A Mail from Flanders arrived this forenoon, with Papers to the ht instant. The following arc given as the reports in circula tion respecting the persons lately arrested in the Netherlands: THE INTERMENT OF THE QUtIN. The roads frorn Windsor to Hyde-park-eorner were yesterday crowded with the same promiscuous assemblage of persons returning after the ceremony of the QueeN's funeral, which we observed on the advance the previous day. Many of therm seemed as if they had bivouacked on Wednesday night, on the road-side. It was found totally impossible, even for persons of the highest rank engaged iw the processioes, to get beds at Windsor, or the adjacent villages, on the day of the funeral, and it was not consequently l i extraordinary that the good folks travelling for mere curiosity, from the metropolis, should have been a little chagined, after their curiocity was gratified, to find themselves destitute of the good and quiet civic gratifications which a good supper and bed arei so well calculated to administer, after the labours al a day of ceremony. Men of ti.e highest rank were obliged not only to dispense u ith the:l- ordinary con veniences, at Windsor, during the ceremony, but even to forego the common attentions which their station and habits require. The Duke of NEWCASTLE, one of the supporters of the Royal body in the procession, was actually obliged to put on his mourning habiliments for the ceremony in one of the pantries of the Castle Tavern s There was neither bed nor dressing-room to be had 'for money or entreaty. Ail the smaller inns, ‘N bids, on public occasions, furnish cheap and quiet accom modation, were entirely occupied in Windsor by the 'military billets, and the difficulty of procuring beds at the larger inns was, of course, enhanced by the' preparations made for 40 reception of the "..iiqin-; guished_personages whci were early in their applica- I tion.—The coffin of b..r MAJEStr was merely lowered into the Royal vault on the night of the bur al. It will be placed in one of the five niches at the east end ; one of them is distinguished from the rest by a raised black slab of fine marble, and was intended by his MAJESTY to receive his corn. Much of the depredations which the London gang of pickpockets had contemplated were prevented at Windsor by an arrangement between the London Po lice and the Local Authorities of Windsor. The former seized every pickpocket they could recognize, without waiting to see an actual dispokition to the commission of a felony; and the latter found quar ters in Windsor Jail for the visitors. By this suspen sion of the Habeas Corpus Act for the night of the funeral, the light- fingere6: gentry were the only folk , . in Wirt isor, on Wednesday nig,ht, who wcro accom modated, against their will, with a night's s.ife lodg ing. About eighteen were taken imp custody in the course of the day. Two Persian Princes were in the organ loft at Windsor. and surveyed the awful ceremony with al appearance of very serious attention. Ore of those Personages, on his way to the entrance of the Charol, had his purse taken from hi: side, althoagli secured in a manner peculiar to his nation. We regret this circumstance as well as some other impositions to hich they were subject from our inn-keepers, it not being likely to impress them with a favourable opi nion of the character of our countrymen, part:cu larly as another of these Gentlemen lost his purse, con taining £BO, by similar means, on a former ec cat ir,n. Tito following anecdote of the late' Quenx, is illus trative; like her famous answer to the Duchess of liamtvroK and ARGYLE, related in our Parer a few days ago, of the lofty tone with which she inflexibly repelled Pollution from her presence, from whatever rank or station it ventured to approach. These allee. dotes are now valuable, as they may serve to remind those to whom the sacred dirty has devolved, of xxiaintaining the purity of the female Court, that the highest tribute they can pay to the memory they seem so tenderly to cherish, is to follow the example which has placed it above reproach : " When the M—e of A—, the divorced wife of an English Peer, returned from the Continent the wife of a German Prince, she sent a notice to the Lord Chamberlain's ()lac, that as a Princess, con nected by marriage with the Royal Family, she es pccted permission to drive her carriage into die Court Yard of St. James's Palace on the approaching Birth-day. The Earl of D—, then Lord Chamber lain, took an early opportunity of referring this de mand to her MAJESTY, who replied— , If the M—e has any wish to drive into the Court Yard at Saint James's, by alt means admit her—il'arther than the Court. Yard she must be sensible she cannot come.'" The mourning for her late MAJESTY was very ge neral on Sunday at Edinburgh. The appearance of tl.e children of the City Hospital was extremely neat. The boys of Hentor's (who were all in new clothing) and WATSON'S, wole knotted crapes round their left arms, and the girls of the Merchants' and Trades' flocpitals, had their bonnets decorated with black ribbons, and wore black gloves. At Dover, on Wednesday, all business was suspen ,led. and minute guns were fired from the battery on the Heights from three to four o'clock in the after noon in consequence of the interment of the remains of the late lamented QUEEN. There is no subject for the oratory of the pulpit so prolific of striking passages as death; and death never exhibits his power so formidably in the eyes of a whole nation, as when he reduces at once the highest human dignities to the consistency of a shadow. There was not, indeed, anv thing prema ture or out of the order of nature in the death of our late Most Gracious QUEEN. She died full of years ard of honour; and is gone, we need not doubt, to the rewards of a long life spent in the discharge of corstant and cftcn painful duties. It was, indeed, no small part of her late MAJESTY'S merit, that she did good in secret, that her bounties were private and unostentatious, and that she acted with a view to no other approbation than that of her own conscience, and of those near and dear relations, to whom she was attached by the tenderest domestic tics. How successful she was in this latter respect, we know from the .unbroken attachment of half a century, which existed between her M.t.rairry and the Royal Partner of her Throne ; and if any other proof be needful, it is conspicuous in the painful offices dis charged in so exemplary a manner by the PRINCE Rs (;era of these realms. E::alted rank and the weights cares of Empire, too frequently interfere even with filial affection; hut how can a Sun more feelingly j evince his fond regard for a Parent, than by soothing her bed of sickness, attending her to the very hour of death, and following her venerated retaaiLs, with ' unaffected sorrow to the grave?
