The gorgeous ceremony of the Coronation was performed on Thursday, pursuant to proclamation.— Our opinion that it was unnecessary and indiscreet, under all the existing circumstances, has already been given —that our opinion coincided with the general feeling of all classes was evinced by a degree of in difference unequalled on any other public occasion, and an extent of apathy that might well have parti cularized a College of Stoics. We sought in vain for that feeling of proud participation to which we have been accustomed on any occasion of general sejoicing—nowhere was the extacy shewn which ought always to attend such an occurrence.-in no instance could be seen the enthusiasm that betokens heartfelt reciprocation ; but during the day, in the scene of expensive tumult only, was the appearance of joy, and at night the illumination, so far from being general, was nearly confined to the houses of Ambassadors, Ministers, recently-made Peers, and those whose trades are followed by the imposing addition of "To His Majesty." An old gentleman, who was in London at the last Coronation, assures us that the feeling at that time was perfectly dif ferent, but it may be remembered that then no petty, personal, inveterate hatreds were indulged George the Third was crowned with his Queen, and the dullness of Thursday's exhibition loudly proclaims how much the people deplored the absence of their present much injured Queen. ILL-chests.—When our late revered Monarch was crowned, one of the most valuable jewels drop ped from the crown—those who predict after an occurrence has taken place declared that this was an omen of the loss of America.—On Thursday night, shortly after the lamps were lighted in front of So merset-house, the too3Jen form of a crown (rather an improper substance, by the bye, to form it of,) took fire, and burnt fur more than half an hour, to the great danger of that beautiful building; the ar rival of the engines, however, removed the anxiety of the neighbourhood.—An order was given to illu minate all the public offices for three successive nights—this order has been countermanded, but whether from a want of unison on the part of the public, or from the above accident, which would be regarded as aft ill-omen by a club of old women ( an d that such a thing should influence the present admi nistration we wonder not) we cannot tell. Letters from, Madrid of the sth instant state, that Terrinos ) the King's Treasurer was placed under arrest the preceding day. On searching his papers, some documents were found which prov e d him to have been in connexion with Merino, with Abuelo, and with Zaldivar. CORONATION PSOISOTIONS Gazette was pub lished on Friday, in which appears the following Promotions in both Army and Nava AR/ff.—The Colonels down to Colonel Nichols (1814). to be Major Generals—Lieutenant Colonels down to Patrickson (1811), to be Colonels—Majors down to Aldred (181 St. to be Lieutenant Colonels—and Captains dovn to Annesly (180)7), to be Majors. The Brevet takes in Lieutenant General Hugonin, Major General Hawker, Colonel Jasper Nichols, Lieut. Colonel Christopher, C. Patrickson„ Major Cary, Royal Artillery, and the Captains of 1807. Navy.—The Earl of St. Vincent to be Admiral of the Fleet, a rank equal to a Field Marshal in the Army ; Post Captains. down to Walker (1797) inclusive, to be Rear Admirals; 10 whom Commanders; the junior of is January, 1812, to be Post Captains. 20 Lieutenants, the junior of whom i. Ibo 6, to be Commanders; 20 Midshipmen, all of whose seniority is prior to 1814, to be Lieutenants. The strictest attention has been had to the seniority of those officers who have served since the peace. CONSTITUTIONAL ASSOCIATION.—The London Grand Jury on Friday found a true bill against Sir John Sewell, Charles Murray, J. B. Sharp, and one Longueville Clarke, for a conspiracy, in forming an unlawful Society, and for committing several al leged acts of oppression and extortion. Murray and Sharp are of course well known as active officert of this mischievous and officious Society. Clarke is, we believe, a clerk in their employ, and all have been doubtless selected for the purpose of trying the question with the ostensible, though perhaps in themselves insignificant, agents of the committee. A first rate line-of-battle ship, built upon a beau tiful model, is nearly ready to be launched at Chat ham. The name originally intended was the Prince Regent(, but we understand it is to be changed to George the FourtA. The head and quarter gtdleries are a fine specimen of marine architecture. She is to carry 110 guns. A larg e shark was caught in the river at Maldon, on Wed nesday evening, the 4th inst., which mea sured eight feet in length, four feet ten inches broad, and its tail was two feet four inches. It was exhibited by the fishermen in Chelmsford market on Friday, the 6th inst. At a general meeting of the York Whig-club, held in that City on Monday last, it was resolved that the eapence of the coronation is a needless waste of the public money ; and that although it has been stated by the Privy Council that her Majesty cannot claim to be crowned as a right, the meeting are decidedly of opinion that she ought to be crowned. Thanks were at the same time voted to Mr. Hume, Mr. Wyvill, and Mr. Chaloner. SAILING NI ATCH, On Friday several pleasure boats started from Blackfriars-bridge, to sail to Wandsworth, for a wager. After a fine contest, the Ludlow was the winning boat. On the 18th instant the Guild of Berwick-upon- Tweed voted the freedom of that ancient city to Joseph Hume, Esq. M.P. for Aberdeen, as a mark of their approbation of his exertions, during the last session of parliament, to promote economy and re trenchment in the expenditure of the state. ..' • "t- , THE QUEEN. The following are copies of Letters from her Ma jesty, with the answers thereto : Braadesbargb House, July IS, 1821. ",Her Majesty communicates to his Grace the Archbishop of Cnoterbary, that as his Majesty the King his thought 66 to refuse her being crowned at the same time %ills the King, yet the Queen must trust that there con be objectiim to her Majesty's receiving that right on the foliowing week, whilst the Abbey still remains in a state of preparation for the august ceremony, without any additional esprnee to the oat lon. " That her M je.ty does not with it from may desire participating in the mere form and ceremony of a eon.- iutit ))))) but us a just right, which her Majesty would ni t abandon, without doing a manifest injury, out only to self, but to future Queens CollfUl t, to the British nation, mid to posterity." ANSWER. " Lambeth Palace, July 15, 1821. " The Archbishop of Canterbury has the honour Ito ac knowledge with all humility the receipt of her Majesty's • communication. Her Majesty is undoubtedly aware that the Arclibi•hnp cannot stir a single step in the subject matter of it without the COMIIIII4IthIof the Kiug. LETTER To THE KING. (sent. TO Loan ,manure.) " July 19, MI. " The Queen sequests, th..t his Majesty would be pleated to give 1111 early mistier to the demand which the Queen has made to the Archbishop of Canterbury to be crowued the Woo rug week, not wishing to increase any new expeuce on the nation. The Queen must trust, after the insult that her Majesty has received this moroloz, the King will grant her just rights to be crowned as neat Mouday, nod thot his Majesty will command the Aschbisbrip «f Canterbury to fu;01 the Queen's particular desire to confer upon her that ' sacred and august ceremony.—The Queen also columum. ernes to his Majesty, that, during the King's absence its lee land, her Majesty intends visiting Edinburgh." ANSWER. " Jnly 20, IE2I. " MADAM.-1 have to acknowledge the receipt of a letter from yoUr M.ajeaty, enclosing one add d to his Majesty the King, which I have had the honour of laying before his Majesty, and I am commanded to acquaint yu. r Majesty, that the Privy Council, to whom your Majesty's Petition was referred at your own request, bawls; derid ed, after solemn argument, that the Queens' Consort of this Realm are slut entitled, as of right, to be crowned at any time, the Kiel( dues not think proper to give any • order fur the Coronation of your Majesty. •• I have die 1100OUr to be, . " Wish the highest rewire', Madam, " Your Majesty's most obedient humble servant, (Signed) ANECDOTE OF HIS LATE MAJESTY.—Whenh's • late Majesty was residing at the Palace of Kew, the Princess Charlotte, then a little girl, was staving with the King ; and it was his delight to take her out with him in his morning and evening walks.— On one occasion, as she was going out into the garden from the White-horse at Kew, his Ma t: t. observed to the pages, who were standing in hall, " Make way fir this poor child." On this the young Princess remarked, " I am not a poor child, grandpapa—indeed I am not " " Yes, my dear," answered the King, " you are, and I will tell yoa why. You are kept by the whole nation, and that makes you poor indeed ; and as to the crown, I assure you, it sits not light on the head of those who wear it !"—A fine mcthod this of conveying an instructive moral to her youthful mind; and of teaching much more forcibly than a long didactic discourse could have done, the grace of humility on the one hand, and the virtue and gratitude on the other, from Princes to subjects. Instructions are conveyed by the 1151 on to Sir H. Lowe, and Admiral. Lambert, fur the reduction of the naval and military establishments at St. Helena, and at the Cape of Good Hope, &c. The naval force on that station is to be reduced very considerably, and the command given to a Pest Captain, it not being intended to employ an Admiral I there in future, during peace. Rear Admiral Lam bert returns to England in the rip, immediately.. Sir H. Lowe and Staff, and the whole of the troops at present at St. Helena, are also to return home, and the Island to be garrisoned by the East India Company, as formerly. The dock-yard establish-. ment at the Cape of Good Hope is also to be re duced, and the office of resiient-commissioner of tt.e navy there, likewise to be abolished.
