FROM A GENTLEMAN IN TOWN TO A LADY IN THE COUNTRY. [FROM THE LONDON MAGAZINE.] [Continued from our Paper of Thursday.] The Coronation Oath was next administered to his Ma jesty. Sir ; is your Majesty willing to take the oath ? '- King—l am willing. " The Archbishop theft ministered these questions ; and the King, having a copy of the printed Form and Order of the Coronation Service in his hands, answered each question seve /4/4, as follows : 'Arch.—Will you solemnly promise and swear to govern the peoy:e of this United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and the dominions thereto belonging, according to' the Statutes in Parliament agreed on, and the respective laws and customs of the same ? King. —I solemnly promise so to do. Arch.—Will you to your power cause law and justice, in mercy, to be executed in all your judgments ? King.—l will. Arch.—Will you to the utmost of your power maintain the laws of God, the true profession of the Gospel, and the Protes tint Reformed Religion established by law ? And will you maintain and preserve inviolably the settlement of the United Church of England and Ireland, and the doctrine, worship, discipline, and government thereof, as byliw established within England and Ireland, and the territories thereunto belonging ? And will you preserve unto the Bishops and Clergy of England and Ireland, and to the United Church committed to their charge, all such rights and privileges, as by law do, or shall ap pertain to them, or any of them ? King.—All this I promise to do. Then the King arising out of his chair, supported as before, and assisted by the Lord Great Chamberlain,. the Sword of State being carried before him, went to the altar, and there being uncovered, made his solemn oath in the sight of all the people, to observe the promises ; laying his right hand upon the Holy Gospel in the great Bible, which had been carried in the procession, and was now brought from the altar by the Archbishop, and tendezed to him as he knelt upon the steps, saying these words The things which I have here before promised, I will per form and keep. So help me God. Then the King kissed the book, and signed' the oath. Now followed the anointing, and a couple of anthems. The Dean of Westminster afterwards dried away the oil from the King with fine wool or linen. After other ceremonies had been performAl, in the course of which the King was robed by the Dean of Westminster, and was invested with the. armill, the Archbishop stood before the altar, took the crown, and prayed over it. The King then sat down in Edward's chair, and was crowned by the Archbishop. At this moment the shouts of the people had a tine effect. The trumpets rang out their martial music, and the guns of the Park and the Tower were tired instantaneously. The noise ceasing, the Archbishop rose and said, — Be strong and of good courage : observe the command ments of God, and walk in his holy ways : fight the good fight of faith, and lay hold on eternal life ; that in this world you may be crowned with success and honour, and when you have finished your course, you may receive a crown of right eousness, which God the righteous Judge shall give you in that day. Amen. Then the Choir sang a short anthem : after which the Bible was presented and duly returned—and the King was solemnly blessed by the Archbishop. His Majesty was now borne•to his throne by the bishops and peers around him. Homage was then done publicly and so lemnly,—the Treasurer scattering silver medals as largess from the King. The Peers, having done their homage, stood all to-. gether round about the King ; and each class or degree going by theniselves, all the Peers, one by one, in order, put off their coronets,. singly ascended the Throne again, and stretching forth their hands, touched the Crown on his Majesty's head, as promisingby that ceremony to be ever ready to sup port it with all their power, and then every one of them kissed the King's cheek. During the homage, the Sceptre with the Cross was held, on the King's right hand, by the Lord of the manor of Work sop ; and the Sceptre with the Dove, by the Duke of Rut land. My friend declares that this part of the ceremony was very impressive; and he observed, that the King was much affected when his Royal Brothers prepared to kneel before him—he raised them almost in tears (my friend says his Majesty was in tears ; but I dare not trust my friend ; for, when his feelings are excited, he is apt to exaggerate), and looked upon them with a kind and manifest affection. The Holy Sacrament was now administered to his Majesty, and an anthem sung, at the end of which the drums beat and the trumpets rang, and the people shouted, Long live the King. The Archbishop then went to the altar, and prayed for some time—and the ceremony ended. You cannot expect that I should describe this part of the day with any peculiar force or effect, as I can but speak from the communication of another. My friend will have that the Abbey . was a finer scene than the Hall, but you know his old propensity to extol what he alone enjoys or posszzses. lam free to confess, that I lust a very solemn . -- ci--:,--gOrgeous cere mony, by being absent from the Abbey,—but I would not have given up the chivalrous banquet in the Hall, for all the middle aisles in the universe on such a day. The procession began its return, says my friend, and in the words of honest Cases, " then the people fell a shouting, and then I came away !" 1 rushed back to the.,Hall with a velocity quite appalling to the common people, intimating by my speed nothing less than that a Knight of the Bath was burning down ; and only staying my course for five minutes to look after the balloon, which some kind creature told me " was up," but which, like myself, had been " up too long ;" for it was certainly not visible, though I yielded to his repeated inquiries, and confessed that I saw it plainly. When treached my box in the Hall again, the ser vants were lighting the chandeliers, which hung finely from the fretted roof, and turned with a courtier-like ease to the hand that could give them brilliance ; at this time there was assuredly no need of any artificial lustre ; for the sun-light was beauti fully alive on wall and gallery, and shamed to death the branches of a hundred lights that were pendent in the air. But as it was considered, I presume, an indecorum to light a candle before a King • and as it was concluded that his Majesty would not quit the dall till after day-light, we were compelled to en dure this struggle of light—this litigation of radiance—this luminous suit carried on in IVestminster Ilall,—Sol versus Wax,—in which a verdict was recorded in every lady's eye for the plaintiff. The white cloth had been laid on the tables during the King's absence, and a silver plate placed before each seat;—to a gen tleman, whose mouth had tasted only of die canielcon's dish fOr some 1 & hours, this preparation for " the solids, Sir Giles !" was about as painful an exhibition as Mrs. Brownrigg's loaf placed at a respectful distance before her half-starved ap prentices. I longed, yet dreaded, to see the Baron of beef brought in (a Peer of some likelihood now in my estimation); thirsted to hear the champagne cork explode at intervals,though to me the minute guns of distress ! But what !—could I not diet myself upon splendour ? or what business had I there ? Hungry I might be; but had I not the satisfaction of behold ing a couple of fellow-creatures perishing on each side of me, and of the same gnawing death !—What signified it that I was dry !—Was I not about to see " robes and furred gowns" filled as full of hock as though barrels, and not men, were ermined or the occasion ! I did not, perhaps, start these decisive reasons at the time, but I now see how very idle it was to be have just dined. _ f To be continued.] AMEitICAN . PAPERS. WASHINGTON, JULY 12.—Since the declara tion of its semi-annual dividend, the stock of the Bank of the United States has declined from 118 to 115. The dividend was smaller than the stock holders and others reasonably expected. NEW YORK, JULY 9.—We have received Ha vannah Papers, one of which contains the follow ing intelligence : _ _ " Havannah, June 19. " Captain Maurs, of the Spanish schooner Galiega, which arrived here this morning in twenty-five days' passage from Vera Cruz, reports that Colonel BC Vi a had entered Cordova at the head of 3,000 infantry, and 509 horse, and take t n prisoners the rebels Ramirez, Guerro, and Santa Ana. Colonel Cruz with 3 1 000 men, had marched from Guadalaxara in quest o. Iturbiae, who was moving in the direction of Bajio. " This vessel had an action with two Insurgent privateers, under the Venezuelan hag, which she succeeded in bea ing off." COLUMBIAN REPUBLIC. BALTIMORE, Jue v 6.—ln addition to the interesting intel ligence from South America, which we published yesterday, we have this day been fave=ml with the following extract of a letter, received by a Gentleman in this city, and from an autho rity which we know is to be respected and relied on. . " CISRACOA, J UNE 14.—The day after I last wrote you we received an account of the re-occupation of Laguayra by the Royalists, but they must yield it back on the first appearance of a competent force, as all the batteries and works of defence have been destroyed ; the result of Bermudez' irruption into Ca raccas. All the accounts from Colombia are favourable to the Patriots, who are likely to fight the great battle with a superior force, and with every prospect of success. Bolivar, united with Paez, is 9000 strong near to Valencia. In this division is in cluded the 1500 Native Cavalry of Paez, whose extraordinary exploits appear like a romance, 700 of the British, and some thing over 360 of the Irish Legion, and with the Albion Regi ment, call.d by the President, ' Conquerors of Boyac.a'—Ber mudez about 2600 near to Barcelona, and within two days' march of Caraccas. Urdanetta in Coro, preparing to join Bolivar, 6000. There are some minor corps, but should the Royaliets stand and risk azeneral . action, it is supposed that Bolivar will commence the fight with about 18,000 choice troops. The Royalists not near so many. The unexpected march of Ber mudez into the city of Caraccas induced the Royalists to divide their force, which gained a point for the Patriots. From the best information I can obtain, I think I have rather under than overstated the numerical strength of the Patriots, in which 1 have not included the division under Montilla before Cartha gena, &c. ; but have confined myself to the army proposed to meet the Spaniards in the expected general battle. The old Spaniards are every day flying from the Main. They consider their cause hopeless. Six vessels have, within these few days, sailed. from this place to bring off Royalists and their Property from Laguayra." JULY 11.—The people of Fayal have declared in favour of a Constitution,. established a new Government, sent an Envoy to Lisbon, and refused further submission to the Anti-Cousti tutional Authority which continues to rule at Terceira. HALIFAX, JUNE 27.—His Majesty's brig Bellette, during the last cruize, detained, and sent into I)igby, 13 American fishing vessels. We received Newfoundland Papers to the 15th inst. On the sth the cargo of the schooner Matchless, consisting of 651 barrels and '25 hallbarrels of flour, and 200 bags of bread, which was shipped at this port, and seized by the Officers of his j.!la jesty's Customs immediately upon its arrival at St. John's, was condemned in the Court of Vice-Admiralty there, on account of its being the property of aliens—inhabitants of Boston. The claimants, it is said, gave notice of their intention of appealing against the decision of the Court. Sr. ANDREW'S (NEW BRUNSWICK), JUNE 26.—We beg leave to congratulate our readers. that the Free Port Act ap pears at last to be properly understood, the collector at bt. John's having, after due -contailtilion with legal characters, abandoned the idea of extending its provisions to Passama quoddy bay : he has in consequence- given the collector at In dian Island positive orders not to enter or clear a single Ame rican. Instructions will, we understand, likewise be forwarded to the collector here, not to clear out any English vessel with American produce, that shall not have been taken on board within the bars of this harbour, where all Americans must un load. American vessels, therefore, found loading or unloading in British waters, unless within the specified limits, will be liable to seizure and condemnation. British vessels loading with American produce, admitted by the Act (scantling, planks, staves, heading-boards, shingles, hoops, horses, neat cattle, sheep, hogs, poultry or live stock of any sort ; bread, biscuits, flour, peas, beans, potatoes, wheat, rice, oats, barley, or grain of any sort ; pitch, tar, turpentine, fruits, seeds, and tobacco,) that has not been entered at this port, will likewise be seizable, and there is no doubt the utmost vigilance will be employed in the enforcement of the Act according to the true spirit and meaning. FROM BERMUDX. NEW LONDON (CONN cT tr ), rt. 4.—The schooner Betsey, Briggs, arrived on Sunday last, in 11 days from Ber muda. We have received our usual tiles of impels by this ar rival. The disputes between the„ Governor and Legislature were still carried on with great animosity. The Governor ap : .pears determined to place all the authorities of the island at his feet.. In this policy he is determinedly opposed by the legisla ture. A few days previous to the sailing of the Sea Serpent, several transports arrived at Bermuda from Halifax, with troops to relieve the garrison of that place. On their arrival the Go vernor called the officers together, and in an address to them, declared that the inhabitants of the island were in a state of re bellion, and that he expected the troops would stand by him ! He had previously disarmed the militia by calling in the go vernment arms. On one occasion he called the majority of the legislature "it factious, irreli g ious, and disappointed party." The House returned a spirited reply ; and declined any further proceedings until they heard trout their petition for the removal of his Excellency. The Governor rejoined—" Blinded by error, or some more dreadful infatuation, you have finally, in direct terms, refused to do your duty. You are proceeding at your own peril, and are collectively and individually responsible to your God, to your King, anti to your country, for all the evils you may have entailed upon the country." And here the business rests between him and the house. • EXTRACTS FROM RECENT PROCEEDINGS OF THE AMERICAN LEGISLATURE. Great Britain and. some of her Allies entertain the opinion that nothing short of the concession of a qualified right of visi tation and search can practically suppress the Slave Trade._ An association of armed ships is contemplated, to form a species of naval police, to be stationed principally in the African seas, where the commanders of the ships will be enabler; to co operate in harmony and concert. . The United States have been earnestly invited by the princi pal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs of the British Govern ment, to join m the same or similar arrangements ; and this in vitation has been sanctioned and enforced by an unanimous vote of the House of Lords and Commons, in a manner that pie eludes all doubts as to the sincerity and benevolence of their design. In answer to this invitation, the President of the United States has expressed his regret that the stipulations in the treaties communicated are of a character to which the peculiar situation and institutions of the United States do not permit them to accede. The Committee will observe; in the first instance, that a mu tual right of search appears to be indispensable to • the great ob ject of abolition ; for, while flags remain as a cover for this traffic against the right of search - by any vessels except of the same nation, the chance of detection will be much less than it would be if the right of search was extended to vessels of other Powers; and as soon as any oue Nation should cease to be vigi lant in the discovery of infractions practised on its own code, the slave-dealers would avail thernsdv.. s of a system of obtaining fraudulent papers, and concealing the real ownership under the cover of such flags, which would be carried on with such ad dress, as to renda it easy for the citiZens or subjects of one State to 'evade their own municipal laws ; but, it a concerted system existed, and a qualified 'right of mutual search was granted, the apprehension of these piratical offendets would•be reduced to a much greater certainty ; and the very knowledge of the existence of an active and vigorous system of co..opera tion would divert many from this traffic, as the unlawful trade would become too hazardous for profitable speculiition. In relation to any inconveniences that might rcsult from such an arrangement, the commerce of the United States is so limit ed on the African coast, that it would not be m uc h „It er. d by • it ; and as it regards economy, the ex pence of stationing a few ' vessels on that coast would not be much greater than to main tain them at any other place. The Committee have briefly noticed the practical results of a reciprocal right of search as it bears on the Slave Trade ; but the objection as to the propriety of ceding this right remains.— It is with deference that the Committee undertake to make any remarks upon it: they. bear in reeoilecticin the opinions enter tained in this country on thepractiCe of searching neutral ves sels in time of war, but they cannot perceive that the right under discussion is in principle allied in any degree to the ge neral:question of search—it can involve no commitment, nor is it susceptible of any unfavourable inference on that subject ; and even if there were any affinity between the cases, the news sity of a special agreement would be inconsistent with the idea of existing rights. The proposal itself, in the manner made, is a total abandonment on the part of England of any claim to visit and search vessels in a time of peace, And this question has been unequivocally decided hi the negative in her Admiralty Cqurts. . Although it is not among the objections, that the desired ar rangement would give any colour to a claim of right of search in time of peace, yet lest the case in this respect may be preju diced in the mindsi of any, the Committee will observe that the right of search in time of peace is one that is not claimed by any Power as a part of the law of nations ; no nation pretends that it can exercise the right of visitation and search upon the com mon and unappropriated parts of the sea, except upon the belligerent claim. A recent decision in the British Admiralty Court, in the case of the French slave ship Le Louis, is cLar and decisive on this point. In regard, then, to the reciprocal right wished to be ceded, it is reduced to the simple inquiry, whether, in practice, it will be beneficial to the two contracting nations,. Its exercise, so far as it relates to the detention of vessels, as it is confined to the tact of slaves being a:tuallyon board, precludes almost the pos sibility of accident or much inconvenience. . * * • The exchange of the right of search (limited in duration, or to continue at pleasure, for the sake of experiment), might, it is anxiously hoped, be so restncted to vessels and seas, and with such civil and harmonious stipulations, as not to be unac ceptable. 'The feelings of this country on the general question of search have often been roused to a degree of excitement that evinces their unchangeable character ; but the American people will readily see the distinction between the cases ; the one, in its ex ercise to the extent claimed, will ever produce irritation, and excite a . patriotic spirit of resistance ; the other is amicable and charitable ; the Justness and nobleness of the undertaking are worthy of the combined concern of Christian nations. The detestable crime of kidnapping the unoffending inhabi tants of one country, and chaining them to slavery in another, is marked with all the atrociousness of piracy ; and as such, it is stigmatised and punishable by our own laws. To efface this reproachful stain from the character of civilized mankind would be-the proudest triumph that could be achieved in the cause of humanity. On this subject the United States having led the way, owe it to themselves to give their influence and cordial co-operation to any measure that will accomplish the great and good purpose ; but this happy result, experience has demonstrated, cannot be realised by any system, except a concession by the Maritime. Powers to each other's ships' of war of a qualified right of search. If this object was generally attained, it is confidently believed that the active exertions of even a few nations would be sufficient entirely to suppress the Slave Trade. The slave dealers could be successfully assailed .on the coast upon which the trade originates, as they must necessaiily con sume more time in the collection and embarkation of their car goes, than in subsequent distribution in the markets for which they are destined. This renders that coast the most advanta geous position for their apprehension ; and, besides, the Afri can coast frequented by the slave ships is indented with so few commodious or accessible harbours, that notwithstanding its great. extent, it could be guarded by the vigilance of a small number of cruisers. But if the slave ships are•permitted to as cape from the African coast, and to be dispersed to different parts of the world, their capture would be rendered uncertain and I:op±ss. The Committee, after much reflection, offer the following Resolution Resolved, by the Senate and the House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, that the President of the United States be requested to enter into such arrangements as he may deem suitable and proper, with one or more of the Maritime Powers of Europe, for the efnetual abo lition of the African Slave Trade. GEORGE THE YOURTIL The following are some of the anecdotes re. fated to the meeting in the Academy Hall, on Tuesday se'nnight, by the Rev. Mr. LEIFCHILD : " Mr. Leifchild was one of the Deputation from the three denominations of Dissenting Ministers in London, who _waited .on the King with an Address, on his Majesty's Accession to the Throne, and were most graciously received. The Address al luded to the happiness and protection they enjoyed under the• fosterin care and parental sway of his beloved and r e v ere d fa ther, and expressed an humble but earnest hope, that he would imitate his example, and follow his steps. After his Majesty had read the written answer, and before they took leave, one of the deputation said, they feared they Lad occasioned his Majesty too much trouble, ' when the King was graciously pleased to address them in language doubly dear to them, as being the genuine effusion of his own heart: he You give me no trouble, my friends : I derived the most heartfelt _satisfaction and pleasure from your excellent Address. It will, be the en deavour of my life to imitate the example of my bcloved.father; and be assumed, while I sway the sceptre of ,theSe realms, there shall not be the smallest bar to the freest religious tole ration.' • " Prince Rataffe, of Madagascar, came lately to England. He beheld with wonder the happy effects of the Sim of Righte ousness, in.its rising, on his own benighted land, and helonged to visit a Christian country. At the late Anniversary of the London Missionary Society, his presence excited uncommon interest.. After some time, however, he was alarmed to find, that the friends he valued So much were not members of the Church of England ; and wislietl to be informed on a subject so important to him, from the highest authority. Ile wait al on his Majesty, stated the wonderful and happy effects of illissionary exertions in Madagascar, and expressed his surprise in finding that these Ministers were not members of the Established Church of England. The King said—' Be assured, Prince; that they are not the less good men ; they may differ in smaller matters, 'but on every important point of the Christian faith, they most perfectly and cordially agree. And permit me to add, that every instance of attention, 'kindness, and protection, experienced by these men in your country, shall be esteemed . and acknow ledged by me, as if done to myself.' The Prince was highly de . lighted with this answer ; he respected and confided more than ever in his Christian friends, and is now on his passage home with a fresh supply of Missionaries and artizans. . " King George the Fourth has the privilege and important benefit of pos7s:.ssing at least one truly pious evangelical Chap lain, who, in his course, lately preached before his Majesty, at Brighton, a most faithful, awakening, and impressive sermon ; so much so, that his discriminating courtiers thought that it must have given great ofli:nce. Happily, however, unlike to Felix, who sent Paul away, as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judq•ment to come, our esteemed Monarch has ever since favoured his faithful Chaplain, the friend of, his soul, with his very , peculiar countenance 'and affectionate regard ; and. as a farther token of the King's approbation and gratitude for his sincerity and friendship, his 3lajesty has been pleased 'to provide for his 'son; then studying at Cambridge. " No good British subject can hear these anecdotes, without experiencing a feeling of pleasure, and of' increased attachment and respect fur the august subject of them."—(lnverness Courier.) Lord GEO . RGE SEYMOUR, Mr. H. BUCKLEY, and Mr. Ploon, art the young Gentlemen who were last week elected to the Fellowship of Merton College, Oxford. These promising young men distinguished themselves last year at that University by taking the highest degrees. Lord OtimANTo Iv has been returned for King's County, Ireland, in the room of PAR SONS, Esq., appointed a Conunissioner under the Insolvent Act. If Elt LATE MAJESTY. • [THE TIMES.] ,Among the many reports which w e r e y est e r d 4 afloat respecting the funeral dr her late MAJESTY, the two following seemed to have gained most credit :---First, that it had been pro posed on the part of Ministers to have her Ma jesty's body conveyed in a private manner to London, to be from thence removed with equal privacy to the port at whiCh it is to be embarked for the Continent. The next report was, that -Government intended that the royal remains, instead of being conveyed to town by land, should be removed by water in one of the barges be longing to the Admiralty. Though we have some reason to believe that propositions to the effect just mentioned have , been made to her Majesty's executors, yet we have good authority for stating that neither of them has as yet been determined on. We have no hesitation in saying that the adoption of either would be productive of very general dissatisfaction in the public mind. We are the more confident in saying this, because we know that preparations have already com menced in several quarters, for. forming proces sions to attend the remains of her Majesty from Hammersmith to• London, and on from thence a • , part of the way to the port at which they may be put on board ship.—We have already noticed that a common Council is to be held on Tuesday next. 'Several other bodies have also given notice of meetings for a similar purpose. Among these, the inhabitants of Hammersmith, who have been always conspicuous for their attachment to their persecuted Queen, have been anxious to pay the last public tribute to her memory. The follow ing requisition was in the course of signature there yesterday, and had already obtained the names of many of the most respectable individuals in the neighbourhood : " We, the undersigned inhabitants of this hamlet, request you will forthwith call a public meeting to consider the best means of evincing the respect of the inhabitants at large for the memory of her Most Grac . ous Majesty the Quin Consort of George IV. " To 111r..Tam;s Gomme, Churchwarden of Ham meismith, Aug. 10, 1821." In addition to this the annexed circular was sent to the gentlemen who formed the Committee for arranging her Majesty's escort from Barn mersmith to London on the day of her visit to St. Paul's : " SIR,—You are requested to meet the rest of the Gentlemen of her late Majesty's Escort Committee at the Hammersmith Coffix-house on Saturday evening, at 8 o'clock precisely, to adopt such steps as may appear necessary in older to pay the last tribute of 'aspect to her Majesty, by forming a procession to atLentl her funeral. " I am, Sir , your humble serv a nt, " Aug. 10, 1821. " J. BOWLING, Chairman." The following circular has been issued to the gentlemen who formed part of the late procession to St. Paul's : " Freemasons' Tavern, Great Queen-street, " Lincoln's-inn-fields, Aug. 9, 1821. " S In—ln consequence of the unexpected and lamented death of her Most Gracious Maje Sty the Queen; I am directed by the Comtnittee to request the favour of your attendance at a Meet ing, proposed to be held at the Freemasons' Tavern, on Satur day evening next, at seven o'clock precisely, for the purpose of adopting such arrangements as may be deemed suitable to testify to the world, the last mark of respect we shall have an opportu nity of paying to the memory of the illustrious deceased. " I have the honour to be, Sir, " Your most obedient Servant, THOMAS BENSON, Hon. Sec." . While these melancholy preparations are going on to express the feelings of the public on the present calamitous occasion, the official arrange ments for the funeral (of whatever nature it is to be) proceed but slowly. Indeed, none have yet been commenced except such as were indspen sable. Mr. Ilolroyd, attended by some of hi, men, ,repaired yesterday evening to Branden- burgh-house, by order of the Board of Wolks, for the purpose of soldering down the leaden coffin in which the cedar shell containing .the Royal corpse is placed. The melancholy task was performed in the presence of Mr. Alderman Wood and some of her Majesty's upper domes tics, who thus took their last view Of their be loved Mistress. The body, we are told, had not undergone so great a change as might have been expected from the nature of her Majesty's dis order.. The features still bore a considerable resemblance to the placid yet. dignified look for which in life they were remarkable. After the body was thus for ever shut from human eye, a black pall was thrown over the coffin. It was intended that it should be removed this diy into the dining-hall, which is to be hung with black, as are also_ the passages between that and the door, at the entrance from Hammersmith. Not withstanding these preparations, it is not, as we are told, intended that the Royal, corpse should be laid in state. • [MORNING CHRONICLE.] By her Majesty's Will she directs 'that Cam bridge-house shall be sold, and the purchase money paid to Mr. William Austin—it being confidently-expected by her legal advisers that she had an equitable claim on Government to provide her a house. The first instalment on the purchase had been paid by her Majesty—and the two next, amounting to 12,0001., are guaranteed by the house of Messrs. Ransom and Co. Her claims under the Will of her mother the Duchess of Brunsw;ek, whatever they may amount to, she also leaves to Mr. William Austin, and she makes him her residuary legatee. She directs a sealed box, which she describes, to be transmitted 'to a Merchant in the City, to whom she owed 4,3001. It is sup posed to contain her diamonds. She beciata:l's 5001. ea,h Lord and Lady Hood. She leaves a picture of herself to Lady Anne Hamilton, one to the Marquess Antaldi, one to the Signor Fedici, and one to Mr. William Austin. She leaves to. Dr. Lushirigton her coach and a picture. She leaves to Hieronymus her barouchette and her linen—and to the sister of Demont all her wearing apparel. Her Italian property is not alluded to, as that was previously settled by a notarial deed. She directs that her body shall not be opened—nor laid in state—and that she should be buried by the side of her father and brother at Bruns -Ai k. _The body to be sent off in three days. There are two Codicils to the 'Will, containing tokens of nflic.ion to her domestics.
