Her state of health had long been suet., that her medical attendants had despaired of her re curery, aad for some time expressed their apprehea- stens that the serious attacks to which she was sub- Peet would produce a fatal termination. On Saturday freesia( illse symptoms of approaching dissobtdon be rams-se arpurest, that an express was mut off to the' , WIN oflferk, who lost ao time in repairing to Oat lands. where his Royal Highness revalued with his aillicsekcessort till nine o'clock yesterday morning, srb:u elso-lotenthed her last. Her Royal Highness, pa-0y from the state of her health, and partly it may be supposed from other causes, has, during her tat ter year., lived chiefly in retirement, where she ap pears to have exercised the virtues of an amiable and benevolent disposition. Since the separation of their evtablishments, his Royal Highness regisharly visited the Duchess, and no occurrence intervened to give disturbance to public feeling. Her Royal Highness was the oldest daughter of the late King of Prussia, by his first consort, Princess of Brunswick Wulien butte). She was born May 7, 1767, and was mar ricd to his Royal Highness, September 29, 1791, at Merlin. -nippers f:oes 'the excellent letter if Lord Joie s eellilett. to hlr. Wmautroaca, that the Whigs are dihipm4l t 4 take a more decisive part le the affair of the lateen that they have hitherto dose. We ander• stand that the Petition recommended by the Noble L,r I, has received the concurrence of the principal S.4temssen and Memhert of both Houses, with whom he acts : it may, therefore, be considered as expressing sentiments of the whole of the Whig party. The /hew thus takes of the important question that now **Lars the reentry is jest, and the feelings with wi,ich the portentetu 'subject is discussed, are such as hymn* enlightened and noble minds. We rejoice in seeing each men as Lord Joux RUSSELL espousing the cause of persecuted innocence, and boldly declaring tLat " the act by which it is proposed to degrade the Quanx is IA necessary to the State." It is certainly not : it is not ateessary for amy purpose but to gratify feelings that ought to be suppressed. His Lordship justly observes, that " as the Royal Personages had b-en separated many years, and as the Qualm had beers six years out of country, it is impossible fur soy sobePesinded matt to maintain that there is dan ger lest she surression to the Crown should be tainted." The dangers of disputed succession we think are now rhertly imaginary. There is, unquestionably, mach awry aeisehief to be apprehended to the country from a perseverance in the illegal and ominous proceedings adopted by the persecutors of her Muesli ; for the S 4 c.seity of lievernment, the safety*, the State, and the trsneptillity of the People, are essentially concerned in this itaihrtaaste basinses. How, Mr. Witaaareant Will del or fad 11111 this esti to his impartiality, set how the Ministers who have pushed this matter so far, cast rested', we an unable to guess. The conscientious mover of the address to the Queue, praying her to ac cede to the exclusion of her name from the Liturgy, Rad. ing himself disappointed of success in thatquarter, one would imagine, ought to tuns round with equal soli citude for his praiseworthy object to the other side, and pray his Slasnavy to exercise his magnanimity in foregoing such a nlsr—a wish in which the degraders Queue are not joined by any portion of the peo ple; far the-inhabitants of this country believe her Ma. sarrt to be innocent, and will not think her guilty. As yet they have no reason to question her integrity, and all the evidence that can be brought from the sinks of vier sad **eruption abroad, will infix no lasting stain an bet character. We have no objections to see pre. • frieedship sad patriotism put to the test. The ease of Mr. WlLsenreaca, and the disinterested addremars ea the Cross Bench must now be rather a passliog tree. The day of trial fast approaches. Lt la the trial of Millibars as well as of the Queen.

" Now it remains with you to choose whether you will con dom to publish the reveries of a Correspondent."

" Read, mark, learn, and inwardly digese—" 0 who either wilfully misrepresents the actions and peinciples of a dignified character ; or wbo, without inquiry, adopts the scandal., us gossip of some malicious pseson who purposely imposes on him."

This, Sir, is merely your opinion, against which I Met have a little value for my own ; but I willingly have to the public to determine this. But, the Prince's 1 4 ' conduit with the Queen ;" I make no accusation of this sort ; an attentive reader would have seen, that I „case bins of a want of conduct towards the Queen; and you Agee sterilises', avoided *eying sac word is eisdiee deo °fat Prince in this respect, and my whole letter goes to blot main point; and so does a former letter of mine published in TIMM STATIIIIII•M of the 15th Jab la", whisk I recommend so your perusal and replica tion.—" If he knew any thing of the manners and habits of the Prince, he woul.l, el least, have given him credit for an ev;:v in judgment."

In the meantime it is evident that a struggle between parties is preparing, should the appeals now making to the reason of her M.ucslt's persecutors be disre garded. In our succeeding columns our readers will peruse with interest the sequel and result of the important trial of Major Cartwright and the other defendants, at Warwick, for conspiracy at the meeting at Birmingham. After a trial which lasted two long days, the Jury. it appears, in about 10 minntes, found all the defendants guilty. The length of our Report of the proceedings, and of the other interesting articles in our paper to day, compels us to postpone our remarks upon the trial and the verdict till to-morrow. Extract of a letter from Buenos Ayres, April 20 :-- I have seen a document which explains the proscription of a host of Patriot., together with the persecutions of the press. It develop*. the motives of the war with the Montsuers, and unfolds a mystery heretofore in explicable in the manner of conducting that war. This discloses the document to the admission of the Portuguese, and accounts for the impediment of San Martin at different times, when prepared to invade Lima. It also auroral, the web t►at has enveloped the treacherous campaign in Upper Peru. The whole administration of Paereydon hes been a series of de ception practi.ed upon a brave people. All is now changed. The determination of the whole of the interior to resist the war with the blestonera, as well as the authority, prodnced a revolution, and saved the capital from the danger withwhich It was threatened by the Intrigues of the Courts of Versailles and Brasile. Tribunals have been established for the trial of tho a engaged in the transaction, but the greatest part, and al those of consetmence, have fled upon its disclosure. the prisoner guilty of the 13th overt act, in the first mint of the indictment, and utioninton‘ly recommended him to mercy, on account of his former good Conduct; the Jury were informed by the Court, that they ought to And him guilt• ego., tie rowel, provided the charge of Treason was in their opinion stobstatstiated.
