WE this day present our readers with the grand of result of the trimsaethms at the late Congress. The last protocol and declaration of the All;ed So. vereigns, or their Ministers, towards which all thear ruasultations have tended, and with the signature of which their assembly is finally broken up, and its illus trious members dispersed. These documents arc interest. ing, in point ofform they exhibit the completion of the work which has lung attracted so much attention ; but, otherwise, their contents arc modestly expressed. Thera is little for ingenuity to carp at ; and thankful as France may be for the alleviation which she has obtained from the conferences at Aix-la-Chapelle, there is, we twat, with this partial good, as little general evil united, as ever did result, or ever can reset, from the meetings of personages who possess, we may say, conjointly, millions of men at their command. The first document is an acknowledgment of the four allied Powers, of the tranquil state of France, of her fullil went of all her existing engagements, of the adequacy of the pledges which she ofrers for their completion, and a conseluent acknowledgment of the propriety of withdrawing the Army of Occupation. The King of France then invited to make one of the Congress. This invitation is in the second document accepted, M kis Sovereign's name, by his Minister, the Doke of Richelieu, whose signature is of course affixed to the two acts, which have relation to the general interest of Europe. These two acts, the last of the Con gress, will be variously canvassed : but we do not think that uny iil can be drawn out of them. We .should say, that they might be productive of good, if the passions of men were to be controlled, as often a s temptations or provocations arose, by previous resolu tions of disinterestedness and honourable conduct.— The Sovereigns, in the Protocol and Declaration, bath dated November 15, hint at,the probability of future conferences for the good of Europe; but declare, that in all their dealings with each other, and in their Occii,ions on the appeals of those Powers which take no part in the quintuple alliance, they will be governed only by the law of nations. Neither do they make i t obligatory t►pon other States to request their interfer ence ; it is only if called upon, that they will decide by this law. Should these determinations hold firm, we suppose we may look forward to a lusting peace ; man kind may forget the art of war, and aspiring Statesmen turn all their attention to Vattel and Grotius. General Taylor, who was of the dinner party at Cambridge-house, Kew, on NVednesday, met with a very serious accident in returning to the palace. The General, after having dined at the table of the Prin cesses, always returns to the palace through the Botanic gardens, to the door of which, ut the extremity of the Birdcage-walk, he has a key. Oa Wednesday night, imniediately after the departure of the Prince Regent, he left Cumbridge-house unattended, and, in passing along one of the avenues, near the menagerie, owing to the darkness of the night, fell over some gardening im ph:roe/its, (which had been imprudently left there by some of the workmen) and fractured the small bone of the right fore arm, and also received a consider..ble iajury in the knee. Mr. Julius, surgeon, of Richmond. was immediately sent for, and the fracture, after some thee, was reduced. The General was able to walk out on Thursday morning and pay his respects to the Prin cesses : but the accident is truly unthrtunate at the present moment, as in his capacity of Private Secretary to the King and her late Mojesty, a considerable portion e; responsibility in the approaching solemnities devolves upon him. Ever situ e the death of Her Majesty, the General, and two of his secretaries, have been ultaust constantly employed in writing.

FUNERAL OF TUE QUEEN. The day axed for the funeral of her late Majesty is next Wednesday ; 'and it is to take place at St. George's Chapel, Windsor, at eight o'clock o❑ the evening of that day. Tickets will be given only to the persons of the Royal Households, and that only oa the day pre vious io the funeral. All the state observances of gran deur will be used on the solemn occasion, with the exception that such a number of distinguished charac ters cannot attend it as if it had been what is called a public funeral of the Queen of England ; for in that case her remains would have lain in state in the painted chamber. Ths hearse will be drawn by eight of her late Majesty's black horses, and driven by her state coachman. This being the f literal of a Queen, no mourning coaches arc to of ow, nor any but Royal carriages, including the King's, the late Queen's, and the Prince Recent's, drawn by black horses; none of the Royal Family will attend till the procession arrives ut Frogmore. The Queen's carriages are to be filled by Messrs. Beckendorlf and other attendants of the late Queen. Numerous detachments from the Life Guards, the Royal Horse Guards, with their bands, arc to form part of the procession. It is expected that a party of the Lancers will lead the procession, which will pro• ceed at a very slow walking pace, till they arrive at Frogmore, whence the road and streets leading to St. George's Chapel will be lined with the Foot-guards, under arms, every sixth man holding a lighted flam beau. The procession will be formed at Frog-more, as it is to enter St. George's Chapel, with the exception of those who will join it at Windsor Castle. The Prince Regent will enter as chief mourner, upon which occasion his Royal Highness is to he supported by two Dukes, and to have four Marquisses to hold up his train. The hearse is to be guarded by the King's body guard, forty of the Yeomen of the Guard, who are to appear in mourning of black cloth, made exactly the saute as their scarlet uniform, with the same embroi dered arms and ornaments. They are to curry their arms in a reversed position. The Queen's crown is to be carried on a cushion covered with black. Her late Majesty's pall is to be held by six Dukes. The Prince Regent is to sit at the head of the coffin, the Chamber lain at the feet. The Marquisses to hold up the Re. gent's train, and the Royal attendants will stand dur ing the last awfill ceremony. The staircase of KLAT Palace has been additionally se cured by extra supporters placed under it, to guard against the possibility of an accident in the removal of the Royal remains down stairs, from the additional weight of the coffins and the number of men who are necessarily employed upon such occasions. The Royal carriages which are to go in the procession from Kew, are commanded to be there at a quarter before nine o'clock on Wednesday morning, to prevent any eon. fusion arising. The procession is to halt for about an hour at LongfiYrd, and the time of arrival at St. George's Chapel is not to exceed u quarter past eight o'clock. Kew Church, Richmond Chnrch, and Windsor Church, have all been hung with black by the Royal undertakers, Her lute Majesty being considered a pa rishioner at all those parishes. Preparations arc making for the hanging of St. George's Chapel, Windsor, with black, previous to the day of the funeral, to which me lancholy ceremony a great number of the nobility are invited. Among the numeroLs acts of private bnevolence which characterised our I..tt: Q.eco, the following is worthy to be recorded. When the late fltilttre of a Bank at Windsor htippeited, a large portion of the lower class of inhabitants were thrown into great distress, by having one or more of their 11. notes in their possession, with which the sustenance of ther families thr the en suing week was to he provided. Her Majesty no sooner heard of this calamitous circumstance, than she ordered her Deputy Treasurer to provide 4001. in small Bank of England notes, and immediately to exchange till the Windsor notes for them—a work of benevolence so truly royal, that the Princesses personally assistel in it tvit.i inexpres.sible delight. It has been stated in some of the. papers, that the Royal Drawing Rooms are for the future to be held by the Duchess of York. IVe have authority to assure the public, not only that nu such arrangement has been Formed, but that the subject has not yet, even in the slightest degree. come under corsideration.—Omrier. The inhabit ants of Cantethury have decided on light ly their city ..ith gas. CEREMONIAL PRICE 94d. 101 THE.
