thips in inc tinned to wear their colours half mall down till the final ceremony was doled, and the minute guns were conflantly fired at the Tower the whole of the day. When the Proceffion came to Temple bar, the gates were Phut ; they were, however, prefently opened, and the Lord Mayor, mounted on horfeback, and bareheaded, took his place in the line. imme diately after the Prince of Wales. The Sword of State was carried before his Lordfhip, and his immediate attendants were all uncovered. The Court of Alder men followed in carriages, and thus by flow degrees the cavalcade attained the front of the Cathedral. .—lnfide of the rails fume time was confutned in arranging the order of proccflion up the great fleps purfuant to the puhlilhed regulations. At length every thing being properly fettled, and each mourner in his proper lituatiom the Proceffion attended the Reps at a flow and ((demo pace. It was here that the part of the crew of the Viaory appeared a moll contpicii ous groupe. •We ought to have mentioned in the former part of this narrative. that thole brave fellows and a detachment of Marines from the ‘ 7 l(inry, were only brought to town in the morning in two cars, and pallid along Wellminfler Bridge with the Train of Royal Artillery from Woolwich. This de• tachment of Artillery was introduced on the occalion for the purpofe of increaling the effea of this impref five fpeaacle. They filed off at St. Paul's through the City, in order, as we imagine, to erofs the Thames at London Bridge, on their way back to Woolwich. ST. PAUL'S. Although this fplendid temple was thrown open for the reception of vifitors at to eat ly an hour as (even o'clock, yet the anxiety of the public was fuch to at tend the obfequies of their incomparably diftinguifh ed benefaflor, their univerfally lamented favourite, that many (Offered from the preffure before the op portunity for admiffion was afforded. A very [bort time elapfed after the doors were opened before the principal part of the feats were occupied. This eager. wets, it was grateful to perceive, proceeded nor from mere motives from curiofity. It was not the effect of a defire to whittle a great fpeaacle, but it fprung from the ardent emulation of generous minds, to offer a tribute of refpet to the memory, and a teltimony of regret for the lola of a hero and a friend. Had he been merely a hero, envy might have blighted his laurels, and popularity might never have attacked to his name. But his difpofition, condua, and cha. railer were filch, that the advance of his greatnefs, in no cafe excited the repining of the envious, or provoked the good to complain. His motives of alion were ton pure, his views were too large and elevated, to incur any of thole imputations that alloy the fame of the heroes, that warrant the fulpicions of the wife—that ditturb the feelings of the good. No, the purfuit of Nelfon was neither tor perfonal power, nor for perfonal profit. His objea was his country —its interefts, its happincfs, its fecurity, was the end of all his exertions. And that Briton would indeed be callous, who Ihould be incapable of being touched by the influence, or of appreciating the cattle of that feeling which pervaded the meeting of yef terday. Such a man, happily for the honour of the country, and for our own gratification,. was not to be feen. The hearts of all firmed equally itlerelled ; and that interefl was fo deep, that no uneafinefs whatever appeared to be produced by the time which it became neceffary to wait, expofed to the uttnott feverity of cold. From (even o' clock till one, the company fat (Lill, and not a fymptom of impatience was difcoverable. A few minutes after one o'clock the approach of the procefficn was'announced, and the great weftern door was thrown open. At half after one General Sir D. Dundas marched in at the head of the grenadier companies of the till and Sill foot, and the 79th and gad Highland regi ments, amounting altogether to about 300 men.— Thefe troops moved in flow time by Tingle files, and formed lines on each fide of the way affigned• for the proceffion from the weftern gate, along the grand site, the dome, and on to the gate of the Having turned to the front, they, after Come preli minary manoeuvres, were ordered to rell on their arms reverfed, and in this pnfition they remained until the whole ceremony was concluded. The ap pearance of this fine body of men, confiderably aug mented the interell of the coup d'ail, Upon any other occafion the manly, foldierlike figures, which the Highland Grenadiers prefented. would have been de fervedly the objets of particular notice and our ad miration. The sad were placed at the eaftward of the aille I the 79th under the dome, and the other companies took the weflern extremity. Pievioufly to the introdoaion of there companies, a great part of too men belonging to the Well London Regiment of were employed in the body of the Church to guard particular feats, and to prevent any part of the crowd from getting into thole places which were let apart for the accoinmodation of thole nobility, &e. who were expeacd in the proceffion. The whole ..f the militiamen were placed under the command of the Dean, who had parties of them ttationed at the feveral doors of the Church, in order to prevent preffure or riot. Ea w e ale fincerely happy to hear that fuch was the•difpofitton of the people through out, that not even an avology was offered for the eaercife of military force.

They were followed by two a.sval Captains. the fire bearing the Staniard. the tither the Guidon. Thar Captains were Dews and Laforet. Each was loppoited by two Lieutessatrts. The Gentlemen belouging to the Herald's Ofce were snarl Intuit eeittiely as. cording to the pr• gramme which we tome days fines ialstteu in (hit Paper. Of the different degrees of wank, the 'Gentlemen and Elquites led the way - them we noticed irveral of the moll ten belonging to the comMercial com ic Aldermen of London marched in le of the proceffion, and took their Ha to the box seined for their accommo- It.

His tilers was dreffed in fiadet and gold re large (boulder knots of •white ribbons, igns cf the o:ders of Knighthood to which he belongs. 'Flte Duke of Clarence had on his na val uniform, and the Duke of Cumberland was dref. fed in blue and gold, both had white ribbon •knots limilar to thofe worn by the Prince ;'his Royal High: nets took his place in the procetThm immediately af ter the Lord Prelident of the Council (Earl Camden) and was followed by the Dukes of York, Clarence, Kent, Cumberland. Suffez, and Cambridge ;—the Dukes of York, Kent, Sulks, and Cambridge, were dread in regimentals and boors, with long black faits, dcc. upon their arms. The Duke of Suffix was in the uniform of the North Britons. The Lord Mayer and his (tire was next to the Royal Dukes, his Lordtbip wore a large black (ilk gown, which, we undertiand, was provided fur the occafion, and which was highly fringed with gold lace, festeral rows of which were on the arms and round the collar. The I .eotfin was borne by fame men who were employed by the undertaker, and not by any part nt the crew of the Vidory, as wasoriginally intended and ann•otaced. The moll intereding part of the cavalcade—that which was certainly belt calculated to make a llrong impreflion upon the minds of the fpcdators, was the exhibition made by a part of the crew of the Vidory. Of that gallant body about fixty were in the Church, and they bore two union jacks and the St. George's enfign belonging to the Victory. Thefe colours were perforated in various places by the flint of the enemy. S I parts of the enfign were, in fad, literally (bartered. Thefe parts the (cameo particularly ti ppled to view, and the effect of fuch an exhibition may be eafily imagined. As Conn indeed as the (cameo and their colours came in tight, they became the prin cipal object of attention. This was naturally to be expelled. Forty eight Greenwich Penfinners, with black gowns and black haves, doled the ProceiLon. Among thefe veterans there were feveral who bad to boatt of having teen the " battle's rage," and (offered by ‘6 its fury." Immediately upon the van of the Procefflon enter ing the great Wellern Door the organ commenced. The Minor Canons, Vicars Choral of the Cathedral, affided by thi Chorillets from the Chapel Royal, and the Minor Canons and Vicars Choral. belonging to the church of St. Peter, Weßrainfter, together with Tome Gentlemen from Windfor, amoanting together to upwards of one hundred, fang as the Procellion moved from the Well Door to the Choir, the following anthems, which were fet to milk by Dr. Croft—" I am the renunciation and the life, &c." I know that my Redeemer liveth, &c." and " We brought nothing into this world, &c." The ProcelLon pelted through the inclofed place in the centre of the dome, and of courfe over the grave, on its way to the choir. Although the fiat part entered the church about two o'clock, it did not reach the choir till four. It remained in -the choir until the fervice war Enithed. In tinging the anthems, we were much interefied by the voices and judgment of feveral of the cliorif ters, but we were particularly Itruck by the power, execution, and taßt exceeded by Mailer Roberts, of the Chapel Royal, and Mager Cutler, of St. Paul's, in the verf of the 39th pfalm—" For a man walketh in a vain thadow." • About five o'clock the Proceffion returned from the choir to the grave, but in an inverted order—the rear, in proceedins to he choir, now taking the van. Upon arriving at the dome, the Dukes of York. Kent, Suffex, and Cambridge, filed off to the Royal Box, where, however, they remained but a thou time, when they proceeded to the inclofure which furrounded the grave. The Lord Mayor and Aldermen repaired to their box, and remained till the ceremony of interment was over. The Officers of the Army and Navy who appeared, in the proceffion, remained in the body of the church. Whga the coffin was brought- to the centre of the dome, it was placed on a platform fufficiently de. vated to be 'liable from every part of the church.— The pall was taken off. The carpet and .eufhion on which the trophies were depofited, were laid by the Gentleman Utter, who carried them, 'on• a table placed near the graie, and behind the place which was occupied by the chief mourner. The coronet and cufhion, borne by Clarencemx King of Arms, was laid on the body. The chief mourners and hisfupporters placed them felves at the head of the grave, and the affiflant mourners, with the relations of the deceafed, near to them. The Dean (the Bifhop of Lincoln), the Refiden. tiary (the Bilhop of Chefter), with two Prebends, attended a dell:, which was confirueled for the oc. eatioM • The Dean having read the remaining part of the funeral fervice, the Herald proclaimed the tlyle and title of the deeeafed, and concluded with a concife and emphatieal defcription of the Noble Lord's merits. The naves being taken and thrown into the grave, the ceremony of lowering the body commenced. This ceremony proceeded very (lowly. It continued for above ten minutes, and during that period the moll f slemn ffillnefs prevailed. 'This was by fat the moll affecting part of the whole ceremony. The interment was concluded a little before fix, but the church was not vacated by nine o'clock. It was ellimated that not leis than front' 20 to 30,000 were pi efent n this highly intetefting, this powerfully imprelfive, tccali n.

Yefterday, during the proceffinn to St. Paul's, a communication was made from Portfmouth by Tele graph to the Admiralty, which excited Come hopes that we (hnuld loon hear a gond account of the fqua- Limn that lately (tole out of Breit. A Mcifenger was immediately tent from the Ad mitalt y to the LORD MAYOR, who was then on hot re. back at Temple Bar receiving the procemon, with the following Notice : "ADMIRALTY OFFICE, JAN. 9. " TILIORAPHIC DISPATCH FROM PORTSMOUTH. " Half pall NUM. A.M. 11 Admiral DUCKWORTH is in fight of the enemy's fquadron off the Canaries." His Lordfhip. on receipt of this notice, fent a pro per p:rfon with the intelligence to Ltoro's, and adopted fuch other methods of making it known as the peculiar fituation he was in at the moment'sna bled him to do. A Copy of the Notictrwas inferted in a great part of our Impreffion. In the afternoon farther accounts were received at the Admiralty. which damped a little the expeflation that had been excited by the Telegraphic difpetc,h, and the following official Ratement was • ADMI °MCI, Jaw. 9, tBo6. " On the 23tb ult.

Sir Jou,' Rates, that he meant to purfue them to the WeR Indies, whither he had no doubt they were pfocceding. Our fleet unfortunately were dire9ly to leeward when they &It fell in with the enemy, and nearly becalmed, wbilfl the French avail ed themfelves of a frefh breeze, and ran away with all the fail they could crowd. Whatever the objea of their expedition might be, there is little doubt it is by this rencontre completely foiled ; and Osould they arrive at their denination, (which is extremely doubtful, as Sir June would not relax in his purfuit,) they will either be blockaded in Martinique, or lktilk home again, as when the immortal Nzasots chafed them to the fame quarter. The Britilh Squadron confided of the Sur eaa, the Pointers's., the Doss- GAL, the Static's, the Casorus, and the AGA molow• Great credit i 2 due to Lord Cozziscwoon for having detached to this point, the infiant he heard of the Rochefort Squadron, fo refpe&able a force, under fo alive an officer as Sir J.

Yefierday after our paper was at prefs fame of the letters by tho Hamburgh•Mail were delivered out from the General Poft-office, but the bunk and hurry of the day obliged us to confine our extrafts (given in part of our impreffion) to a few leading fails . . In the receding columns will be found very ample de. tails... The fubflance of the intelligence may however be cooxprized is few. words: The Ruffians are retreating from the fcene of ac tion, agreeably. to the fiipulation in the armißice Pacific negotiations are carrying on between France and Aullria ; and Prince Jona of Lichtenftein and TALIAYRAND are the Plenipoterktiaries employed by the, refpciftive Emperors. Aaron H•unWITZ bas left Vienna, having executed his miff on is amp) intik fatty" manner he even boafts that " no intreaties will be able to effet any thing againft the good cfifte fluor and wifdom of Prullia." This is fo perfally in. telligible, that it requires no comment. We are far ther told, that Profile is endeavouring to negotiate fcr the reftoration of peace upon a firm bafis, and that a Treaty of Winner, eilyive and ritleyive, ir in con tnrolation between ify . firia an Fraser! a thing by no means fo improbable as fume people may imagine.— It would be a circurntlance not more furprifing in FRANCIS than the conclufion of the armillica, with out ever confulting his ally AI.IXANCIIIR. There has been a partial 3Clion in Hanover be tween a detachment of the French Garrifon of Ha meln and fome 13ritifh and Ruffian troops, which terminated in favou'r of the latter.—The French force wkieh was expeeted to march from Holland into A Hanover, had aot then arrived. It teems probable now, that the army ready to at tack Aanover from Holland. will not begin its ope• rations• till BEINADOTTE r , now on his march, (hall Wan! If the Pruffians do not oppofe BERNADOTTE, the :midi in Hanover will Coon be decided. The Rains and Swedes in the mean time will aft with our troops, for there teems no ground to think that Ruffians there are included in the arsnilliee It was ftrongly reported, at Berlin, when the 1,, ft letters came away, that Scutum ruct was about to reign the place of Grand Penlionary et Holland, and was to be fucceeded by Louis BONA - PARTS. This is not a •cry improbable (peculation, There feems no doubt that the Elector of BAVAllta is to be a King ; and that Evossa Bsaustaamois L to marry his daughter. But there is a talk of fetting up another King- The Eassiaryi Card:old:atm infinuates, that the Eleffor of Wirtemberg looks for that dignity. It Mould be ftrange enough if the daughter of our anon various Sovereign were to be railed to the rank of tuna by Boss AAAAA :1 It is certain that Narotros hat been pleafed to or.- rept the Grand Elettoral Order premed to him by the Elector of WIiTYI4I4IIO. Letters from Vienna fay, that a Courier had been fent off from that capital to England, inviting this Government to become a party to the negocratians going on for peace. We do not know what credit'is due to this ilatement. We by no -means vouch for the fad. A report is very torrent in the City this day, founded on private letters received by the Mail, that the Archduke CHAR: is has been folicited by the Army to declare himfelf Emperor of Auftria. It is impoffible we thottld be able to alcertain what degree of credit is due to this report—but had Faaucts poi felted one fpark of the foul of Cif&WS, he would not have concluded the late Armiaice.
