George's .Hall an 4 the Guard Camber, who had been admitted by special favour , and they were instantly formed in two lines, so as to leave room for his Royal Highness and at , tendants to pass. The Royal Duke, however, did not pass this way, but up the grand staircase, and through the King's Dravring•room. His Royal High ness appeared agitated and distressed, and having stood for • a moment at the door of the Presence Chamber, in mute contemplation of the coffin, and the lurid splendours by which it was surrounded, he retired by the way he had come, leaning on the Aria of Colonel STEPHENSON. The grand entrance to the tipper Court was then immediately thrown open to the impatient Public, who had by this time assem ble,F in such vast crowds in the Castle-yard, that it had been found necessary to check their rapid en trance by closing the lower, or Queen Elizabeth's gate. The moment the upper gate . was opened, the people rushed forward in a body across the quadran gle to the entrance by Egerton's Tower ; and many persons Were thrown down and trampled upon. Se veral were carried back again in a senseless state; and the pressure continued more or less throughout the morning, in spite of the utmost exertions of the Police and Military. The people were continually pressing up to the gates by every possible approach, in a compact black column. Every road in the vi• cinity of the town was filled with perple in carri ages, ow horseback, and on foot, all rushing forward TO THE INDEPENDENT LIVERY OF LONDON. GLNTLIGIII24, I F many years had elapsed since I was favonfed by your general and almost unatdmous sepport, I should deem it necessary to re-state my principles, and to explain the conduct I hate felt it my duty to adopt. But the much-lamented death of our good and venerable King having so soon recalled yen te the ec-rese of your elective franchise, I shall only assure you that I feel the same respc't for your Corporiti Rights— the same wish to promote your individual and collective wel fare--the same solicitude for your, commercial prosperity —the same purpose of unremitting attention to my public duties—the same Loyalty to the Constitution—the same love fur Liberty, civil and religious—the same anxiety to diminish Crimes, and to meliorate, by the diffusion of Knowledge, the condition of the Poor-q-and the same desire that our Country Should be great, and good, and happy, as I have ever felt. Un apprehensive that you will be vcrsztile whilst I remain un changed; I sh a ll present myself to you at the approaching Elec tion, fearless of the result; and venture to hope that I may re ceive the honour, which I shall inestimably prize, of being, for the third time, returned as one of your Representativa to Par liament.
