A hasty and imperfeet account of this teremony appeared in some of the Papers of yesterday. We now present ihe following, i, in a Cot respondent at Windsor, upon whose accuracy we can rely : A'roitt half-past five o'clock nn Wednesday even ing, the funeral procession of the late Duke of Gtouces reit, arrived at Windsor. It immediately proceeded to to. Castle, through the lower Court, where it was received by this Royal Horse Guards Blue, dismounied, and the Windsor Volunteers.— Tickets having b Nen issued by the Dean of Wi pintos, for a )mission to St. George's Chapel, orders were givea to admit those, that possessed these tickets, to see the corpselie in state, in the Royal apartments. For a little time, some order was preserved ; btu the populace soon beginning to augment considerably, and grow very clamorous, many that were entitled to ge in, were prevented, and many were deterred ti even attemp:ing ;it Was therefore judged ex pedient to admit all, to prevent the riot and con fusion that would have otherwise ensued. The peo ple assembled were, then, about half-past seven o'clock, admitted by the private staircase, into the Guard Chamber, and, from thence, passed into the Queen's presence chamber, the walls of which were hang, and the fluor covered with black cloth, and lighted up with twenty-tour wax lights, in silver sconces ; and two chandeliers, with ten lights each. The coffin, covered with a black velvet pall, adorned with eight escutche,ns, was placed, with the royal ducal coronet and cushion, on a bier, under the state canopy, with five large wax-lights, in massy silver candlesticks, on each side. Two routes were placed at the hea.i, and two at the feet. of the corpse. From hence the company passed on through the ISt.teeit's Audience Chamber, to the stairs in King John's 'rower, where they went out. From the great gates of the Palace to the South door of Sr. George's Chapel, the military, consist. ing of the Royal Horse Guards and Windsor Vo lunteers, were placed to form a lane for the pro cession—every fourth man held a torch. Soon after nine o'clock (the corpse having laid in state till that time), the procession began to istove from the Castle, to St. George's Chapel, in the following order : A Fite of fi; isitediets. of 1 1, st Girds. the Dricite era r. epee.

In this order, the procession moved on to the S-uth.door, where it was met by the Choristers, Minor Canon , , Senior Canons, and the Dean, the ju•tinrs going first, who fell in immelritely after the Herald of Arms, Oro prvceded the LORD CII.O.IIIERLAIN, and proceeded down the south aisle, up the nave, into the choir, the Chorister's singing Di Ceorr . s Funeral Sery.ce (ear•h holding a wa% ! o ht). The body was then placed upon Tres sell, the bead towards the altar, the coronet and cushinn being laid upon the coal, and the canopy held over it, whilst the Dean of Memos. read the funeral service. His Royal Highness, the present Duke of Gtoeces ran, the chief mourner, sat on a chair placed at the head of the coffin, the supporters of the p4ll standing round the body. The part of the service before the interns !nt being read, the corpse was depolited in the vault. The Dean then proceeded with the office of burial; which being ended, the Deputy of Garter, King at Arms, pro claimed his late Royal Highness's style, and thus concluded the ceremony. His Highness, the pre sent Duke of Gtenc ecru, then retired privately to ere Castle, with his attendants. During the whole of the ceremony, His Highness evinced the most peign sot griA Whilst the body was depo siting in the vaitl , , he retired to the Dean's stall, against which he for some time leaned, scarcely able to stand. During the whole of the time, universal sympathy prevailed ; whilst every spedator was moved at a ceremony, at once so solemn, grand, and affeding. Circular letters, we understand, were last night dosp.rched to the Lords Lieutenants of the several couities, respelling the Militia, but we have not learned the purport. The hop plantations in some parts of Sussex have improved so much of late, that several planters in the neighbourhood of Mayfield, calculate upon ton an acre. At Geoeva, the Observatory has been restored to its former state. Messrs. Pict Er, Mattatcr, and Jong Louis Picrer MaLney, the son of him who went to Kola, observed the occultation of the Pleiades nn the 20th of October. Advice. have been received from the Baptist Mission in India. Mr. and Mrs. Rows, and Mr. and Mrs. :quo dc, of the last number who went nut, arrived at Serampore on the 251 d of February last. M . Masns, and Boss, with their wives, were then at Madras. Mr. CAREY and the rest were well. He had made such progress in the S!oan<crit, as to have delivered as or.otion in that language, betore the Governor General, with which he had espoused great satisfsetion. Two natives bad lately been b.optited and joined the church. The late coileflions had ena bled the S sciety to remit 1000 guineas for the expel/cc of the Hindonnoge New Tend:aims. REVIEW IN NTOr•PARK. • Yesterday, at half-pest ten o'clock, the tiro Prigude of City Volunteers. comprising the 21, 4 'h. sth. f.; Bth. and the Honourable the Artillery C•nnratuy, marched from their different Parades into Hr le-Park, and, having taken their staf;on at the further extremity of the Park, beyond the pact where the Volunteers are getter illy reviewed, the Earl of atteingtrin, attended by General Ca-r•i. thers, and a numerms suit of Staff and Field Offi cers, arrived. The Reigade immediately being formed in Uric, took open order, and sainted his Lotdshio; who then put them through different manoeuvres, in marching in line, and in divisions, and forming the line again, by the right or left division. The brigade then fired dyer rounds by platoons, from left to right, after which they were marched in line irto the wood, between the farther part of the park, next to Oxford-road, and Hyde- Park-Corner ; in the centre of this, the brigade was halted, and fortned their line with the greatest readiness, considering the uneveness of the ground (some of the corps being obliged to stand in a ditch), and the trees, which prevented them from dressing by their rolnors, whist' otherwise they would have done. The brigade then fired three rounds from right to left, with the greatest steadi ness ; the field-pieces belonging to the Honour able Artillery Company on the right, being worked with the greatest celerity. Altogether, the firing in the wood had the grandest effea that can possibly be conceived. The brigade was then marched out of the wend ; and, after charging bayonets several times in line, with the greatest exadness, they fired three more rounds, much to the saiisfaftion of the F.arl of Harringtnn and all the Officers who were present. His Lore ship then, after manceuvring them for a short time, quitted the field. The brigade then, being d sunited, marched under their respeetive officers towards their different parades I some of th tank advan tage of the opportunity, and exercised in differc-t parts of the Park. marebinz, counter-marching, and firing. The heat being excessive, they at length quitted the fi-ld, to the no small regret of many fashionable speitators. DOVER, Sept. 4. Sir Sidney Smith did not retnrn, as was •xoe&' last night. The evening, and it- t 2 o'clock at night, was on' contin:led •,eavy f of rain. The Derwreer kept the sea all night, off the French toast, and returned this mo niug to I htngenesc, fr,m, whence a cutter wAs dispatchzd with some of his s• r vants. and the gallant officer, and his party, are ex peßed here :his evening's tide. Great prep stations are making at the Caves fir an entertainment, which, I understand, is to he given there by Sir Sidney ; two additional marquees are pitched io a field, adjoia:ng the cottage inhahl•ed by his aunt, which is situlted under the Cliff; of Dover Castle, and commands a most extensive view of the Channel and French coast. A number of Sh; lwrights are busily employed in making the new additions to Sir Sidney's gun-boats, the masts will be mach longer than those now used, and the bowsprit also will be of considerable length. We are in great hopes these alterations will be per feard in a short time, and that Sir Sidney will try another everiment with them, before he leaves this part of the coast. These two boats are merely mo dels; as, I understand, if they are found to answer the perrse, a great number, of a size capable of carry ing he largest guns, will be immediately prepared. From the immense weight those already built are capable of carrying, I have no doubt the plan is a most excellent one. The Lard Keith and Flirt, IC.ng's cutters, came into those ruads this morning from a cruise; also the Lue f fer and n•soiatrre bomb-ships passed by to the westward, for Dungeness, having returned from a cruise off the French coast. The American brig and schooner, from Marti nique and Gus laloitpe, detained FIT a I.) , lver reiv 4. Leer, as mentioned in my letter of the Ist inst. rill remain in these roads: their papers were sent up to London to the Admiralty, and. I understand. are returned by this morning's mail. The Admiralty warrant the detention, and the swo vessels will come into the harbour this evening's tide. These make eight Americans detained within th;s fortnight. Sir VC/ p.m. The DrOnset gun-brig, has just hove in sight, and a long galley is gone over to her. Sir Sidney does nor come on shore as was expelled, hut is re turning to the Admiral, at Dungeness: he will come up next tide. The Griffin tender, Lieutenant Forbes, stranded at the mouth of this harbour, in coming in; but, by the timely exertions of the crew, she was got off, and is nrw safe in harbour. Annther American ship has this moment been detained, ahout half i levue to the westward, by one of His Majesty's 'bomb ships; the names of either, nr their place of destination, I have not as yet been able to learn. The London, CCAAL, horn Sligo to Archangel, is pen into Christiansand in distress. Besides the discovery of a planet, the year 1804 is likewise ditinguithed by that of a cornet. It is the 94th, and was dis,overed by M. Pores, at Mar seilles, on the 7th of March ; by M. BOUVAID, at Paris, on the 11:h ; and by M. (./La Las, at Bremen, on the 12th.
