The charity children in several parishes bore the signs of mourning; such as the sub stitution of black collars or cuffs, tiff those of other and gayer colours ; some had sable bindings sewed round their caps and their badges. Many of the fe rule children wore black ribands. The Courts of law the public offices, the Royal Exchange, &c. were closed. Orders were sent to all the dock yards to prohibit the usual transaction of business. British vessels, and those of all other nations, hoisted their colours only half mast high. In the different sea ports, minute guns were directed so be fired at night. a a The tolling of the great bell of St. Paul's, accompa nied by the bells of the other churches, excited much feeling in the evening, when crowds in mourning assembled on Blackfriar's-bridge ; and the solemn effect was increased by the stillness of the river, and by the moonlight The Rev Mr. Blomberg performed Divine service before the Prince Regent, at Carlton House. His Loyal Highness did not quit his room the whole day, and received no society except thut of the Duchess of Gloucester. . As the intelligence.of the death of our beloved Prin cess has spread throughout France, it has continned every where to excite the liveliest sympathy in our af fliction. All the English vessels in the different French ports have lowered their colours ; and wherever an Englishman is to be seen his sable garments and down cast looks manifest his full participation in the grief which shrouds his native home. Letters from the grand head quarters at Cambray say, that on the news arriving there, it spread universal grief and dismay in the English army The Generals, the officers of all ranks, were !.:een to shed tears of affliction, when they were informed of the sad event... What funeral oration could be more affecting ?—Not a single Englishman was present at time last pertbrtnance of the Opera in Paris. The news of the death of the Princess Char lotte was received in ilaniburgli on the 16th inst. and excited in tile numerous English residents ,thcre the same heart-struck•grief with which it has overwhelmed their countrymen at home. The mournfUl event of the death of the Princess Charlotte has, in one, and only one solitary instance, giken rise o sentiments of a less g enerous character. The Che it Journal, hitherto remarkable for nothing but its hostility to England, has made this event a pre tence for uttering some miserable slanders against our Royal Family, and tin expressing his wishes, in the form of prophecies, .for the overthrow of the reigning dynasty. Friday, about five o'clock, the Prince Regent, at tended by the Rev. Mr. Blomberg, left Carlton-house for Brighton. • A Mr. Carpenter, who for many years kept the Three Mariners inn, at Esher, near Claremont, and whose family received much kindness from the late Princess Charlotte and her. Consort, was so affected when he Leant of the demise of her Royal Highness, that he nearly fainted. He was seized with indisposition, talked of nothing but the death of the Princess, and expired the next day..
