THE LATE PRINCESS CIIARLOTTE, &c, CLAREMONT, Nov. 21.—The answer to the in pi,ers to-day after the Prince LEOPOLD is--- "t its Serene Highness has had 'a tolerable night, ,au!i• is much the same as he was yesterday." His Sereni• Highness took a short ride on horseback. the Duchess Of BUCCLEUGH was among the in quirers.—Tuesday evening, at six o'clock, the time that was appointed for the mournful procession t . 1,1)111 Claremont,' the inhabitants of Kingston cl:lsed their houses and shops, and the solitary bell heing is aliicil, toiled its awful note from that hour aural ten o'clock, in minute 11 ate. On Wednesday n ,, ,!nint4, Divine Service was performed by the ;Zee. W. Gandy, the Vicar. The -Psalms and Lessons were those appropriate co the melancholy ,cca,ion. The organ was not played ; the singers sang Pope's Ode, " Vital spark, of Heavenly flame, Q3lt, oh ! quit, this mortal, frame." It had such an effect on the feelings of the con gregation, that several were curried out of the Church. The Rev. Divine took his text from the 6th chaptet' of Hosea, 'lst, 2nd, and 3rd verses— " Comc and let us return unto the LORD ; for he h tth torn, and he will heal us ; he Bath smitten, and li.: will bind us tip.; after two days will he re vive us, •in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live iit his sight. Then shall we know if see follnw on to know the LORD ; his going forth is prepared as the morning, and he shall cnmite unto us as the rain ; as the later and former rain unto the ealth." The congregation was the most numerous ever known in the memory of the uldet inhabitant. At six o'clock the bell began awl continued tolling, muffled as before, until tleven, and the day altogether was observed with every solem nity. So much cannot be said of 'l'l►ames Ditton the Rector had received no order from the Bishop. At Long Ditton the Rev. Bryan Broughton gave a sermon, and his little Cluirch was . crowdvd %vitt) his parishioners and many of. those of Thames Ditt.on. THE TEMPLE CHURCH, 011 IVCChleVlay, lvos crowded to excess. The service vas performed in the most impressive manner ; and the very Reverend the Dean of Winchester, Dr. RENNELL, Master of the Temple, preached a most eloquent and affecting Sermon on the Death of the Prin cess' CHA xt,c)-.lre, in the conrse.of which he was frequently overpowered by his feelings, and the congregation throughout evinced the strongest marks of sensibility and regret on this melancholy and rnourntni occasion. OxFoRD, Nov. 20.—Yesterday evening divine service was pet formed at the Chapel of Magdalen College. It commenced with the calehratcd.an them, " *am the resurrection and the life." •The Psalms used in the burial service were substituted for the Psalms of the day, and lessons, appro. pr late to the awful occasion, were selected. Tile Chapel was immensely crowded ; and as precau tions were adopted to admit only as many per sons as the building could c-ontaiti, a large num ber were, through necessity, nnfortunately ex cluded. We lmvit not heard that any other Col lege in this . University . actedin the same manner as this most honourable and ancient foundation. ELY.—We understand that, the day of the fune ral of , the Princess- CHARLOTTE WaS observed at Ely rvith every mark of respect due to that afflict ifig event. The morning was ushered in by the tolling of the Cathedral bell and the bells of the parish churches ; the night was also closed by the same token of sorrow. The shops throughout the city were closed during the whole day. The ser mon-place in the Cathedral was hung with mourn hie, and the service was such as is customary on days of public fisting and humiliation. A,3 it is the practice in that place for the parochial con gregations, after morning prayer on Sunday is concluded, to attend at the sermon in the Ca thedral, it was judged roost expedient to reserve that token of respect until the following Sunday, when a fuller attendance of all ranks of people tray he expected, and when, it is understood, an ppropciate diseonrSC will he delivered by the Prehemlary in residence, and a funeral anthem, prepared for the melancholy occasion by Mr. Skeates, the Organist, will be performed iu the choir. A division of the sth regiment of dra goon guards, of which Prince LEOPOLD 15 Colo now on duty at Ely, marked their respect and sorrow by attending divine service in proper mi litary mourning,' every private, as well as the otiirei-.3, having a band of black crape round his I.tt arm. D , Jru.IN,MONDNY.—This lamented'event,which has thrown the stibjects of these kingdoms into the deepest sorrow and affliction, was noticed in all the places of divine worship in ,this city yes terday. The College Chapel.—After the morning service the itev. U. Elrington ascended the pulpit, and &livered one of the most feeling, impressive, and C!,,tittent sermons we have ever heard. The an them was then sung by Sir John Stevenson, Messrs, .Lagvr, Smith, Mathews, and Weyman, iu a St N'lt! of inconceivable sweetness and melody. . Cathedral, Christ Church.—The usual Church qtr C.itlxdrril Service having been gone through,. the Rev Mr. D. O'Neill ascended the pulpit, and delivered a di,icourse,.wlieh, although not parti- colarly alluding to the melancholy and of ''." ~,1.,0,v ‘vhich pervaded every heart prt;sent, yet impressed the gr.'at and solemn truths of the out ni.cience tool omnipresence of the 'Supreme Being, anti , it: , glolions redemption, by the :ilia - et - lift; of -. oto I)ivine RedeetneP, on the hearts of as crowd ed a congregation as we have scattily ever seen on any former occasion in that Cathedral. After tire sermon,4he anthem, as sung in the College Chapel, was repeated by the same gentlemen of the choir, with increased pathos : it is a funeral anthem ; and botlt the sacred selection of the words, -and the :solemn. sweetness of the compo sition, aided by the poWerful execution of those voices, and the sweet and. sweeping chords of the organ, produced upon the congregation a feeling which can be ,easier understood than expressed. That part of the funeral service which is gene rally read in churdies before the interment, was then read at the. communion table. St. Patrick's Cathedrul.—The evening service commenced at three in tire afternoon in this Ca thedral. The inner aisle was completely throngt.d, almost to silfroC;)ti , o, while the outer ones were nearly as closely filled with persons of the first respectability, both ladies and gentlemen, all in mourning. The Chancel was lighted up with tire Most supetb lamps, •&e, After the even ing service was performed, an anthem was sung by the above mern l c...rs of the choir. It can be scat cely imagined tire effect the contra-tenor solo,. as sung by Sir Sohn Stevenson, had upon the crowded congregation.

The following are extracts : " Nov. 19.—Yesterday, before mass, the King received successively, -at private au diences,. the Baron de Vincent, Austrian Mi nister Plenipotenti,iry, who presented a letter from his Sovere,ign, notifying the birth of a Prince, Son - of the Archduke Charles ; the Count de Grote, flanovetian Minister Plenipo tentiary, who presented a letter Irma his Royal Highties the Prince of Wales, - Regent of the Kingdom of Hanover, notifying the death of his daughter, her Royal Highness the Princess Char lotte AuguSta ; the Baron dtchtritz, Saxon Minister Plenipotentiary, who presented a letter from his Sovereign, notifying the marriage of the Princess Maria Ann Caroline, his niece, with the Archduke L:opolil, Hereditary Prince of Tuscany. " Iu ,the evening a grand Deputation of die Chamber of Deputies presented the Address of the Chamber to his Majesty. " The King replied as follows : " I am highly sensible Of the sentiments which you express to inc i:► the name of 'the Chamber of Deputies. I recognize with plea sure the happy presages which they afford.— 'l'o realise them,l rely upon that union of sen timent,• unanimity in deliberation, 91111 agree ment in action, which can alone ensure the tran quillity of France.' . , " The diligence from Boursleaux.to. Toulouse was attacked ►►n the Ilth instant by eight men, armed with inusquets and bayonets, who carried off 7,046 francs, belonging to sever►tl commercial houses, and robbed eleven travellers, who were in the diligence, of about 1000 francs. " Two inhAitants of Frankfort, attended the ft!:e of the Reformation, one of whom, a Jew, is 105 years of age, and the other, .a female, is near 110. " The Chamber of Deputies assemled-yester day in their Bureaux, to discuss the Prujet of re gulation presented by M. de Serre • " FIVE PER CENTS. " Tuesday f. 90 c. " VIENNA, Nov. 6.—it is understood that the marriage of the Imperial Prince with a foreign Princess will be deliberated upon at Graetz, the present residence of their Imperial Majesties. " FRANKFORT, Nov, 13.---4-On the invitation of the King of Pr►►ssia, the Senate of this city has acceded to the 1101 y Alliance. • " MADRID, Nov; 6. , ---There is no intelligence yet of the arrival of the Russian Squadron at Ca diz, but it is hourly expected. " VIENNA, Nov. 7.—The King of France has sent to the Imperial Prince of Austria, the Grand Cross of the Royal Order of the Legion of nour. " ItgRIAN, Nov. 9.—The Municipal Adminis tration of Berlin has announced in the Journals, that the Association formed here in favour of the National Manufactures, and not to use foreign articles, consists already of 4000 members, the greatest part of them fathers of families of all \classes." A Boston Paper of the 27th of October says, " We have received letters fron► New Orleans of the 24th ult, which state that. the Fever had considerably abated, and few of the late cases were marked with any degree, of malignity." EXTRACT OF A MERCANTILE LETTER FROM PER- NAMBUCO, OF THE 9111 SEPT. " Our.market is over-stocked with all sorts of provisions, especially flour, which is become a mere drug, there being upwards of 100 barrels at market. Great losses must be felt by the Owners of ships which have returned hither lately, as their cargoes cannot he disposed of even at a very con siderable sacrifice, and on the returns no freight can be gained at the present prices." (From the New-York Gazette, Oct. 28, 1817.) FROM SOUTH AMERICA.—Uptain UAY, at Nan- tucket, from the Pacific Ocean, put into Talca guama on the 20th June, for supplies, and laid there three days. The place was garrisoned with about 2000 king's troops; they had had no action with the Patriot troops since the latter took the city of Conception. The garrison was short of provi sions, particularly bread. Captain Ray obtain ed wood, water, and sonic bullocks, in exchange for bread,, and was well treated. There was then lying at Talcagnama one frigate, one sloop of ‘var, three gun-brigs, and a number of ships, &c. The Patriots possessed all the country around, except the peninsula on which the garriscin stands. The Royalist expected a reinforcement from Lima, and shOuld they be diappointed in that, they -rildked of evacuating the place in about one month they had vessels enough to take all their troops off. They were not annoyed by the Patriots, who, having cu. off all supplies from the country, calculated on starving them out. The cannon in the torts wet e dismounted, ready to be taken off, should they be under the necessity of leaving. It is a plain proof that The Morning Chronicle is hard driven for topics to urge against Ministers, when it is obliged to resort to pretended specula tions in Paris, which, if real, would not deserve notice, on the. sale of the Russian ships to Spain, and it affects to say, that that sale is not very creditable to the foresight or vigour of the British Cabinet. What would Otis sagacious Chronicle have had the British Cabinet do on the subject? Would it have had Ministers, in the first instance, demand to know the price At which they were to be sold ? to the purpose, there can be no dif ficulty in guessing at that, and we can venture to atErm, that as far as Cie British 'Cabinet could properly interfere, it did, and we have reason to believe, that there was nothing in the ulterior object of that sale which held forth grounds of alarm to this Country. The Chronicle proceeds to s.ay, that " it is affirmed by one who pretends to be in the secret, that this measure was commnni cated to the British Ministers as a simple act of the Russian Government, unaccompanied by any explanations whatever as to the views either of Spain in requiring military assistance at tbis mo ment, or of Russia in granting it." Well then, it appears, by the admission of " some who pre tend to he in'the secret," (never were words more properly adopted,) that the British Cabinet had no occasion for much . foresight as to a sale that was communicated to them, and now then comes the question of the purpose of that sale.- - Surely, after all that has been known, and what we hear every day, of the revolt of the Spanish Colonies, it can require as , little foresight as The Chronicle generally dispiays, to conceive the, object to which the purchased ships were to he directed. Now then as to the vigour of the British CAbinet. Would those who " pretend to be in the secret" have had the British Cabinet say to Russia " You shall not sell your Ships," and to Spain, " Yoo shall not .buy them i" Consider ing that The Chronicle pretends to be an advocate -for Peace, it seems very unluckily to have stum bled upon observations that strongly savour of an inclination to involve the Powers of Europe in a new war. But would The Chronicle, after the sale of the, Ships was settled, have had the British Cabinet foshiti the attempt of Spain to regain her Sovereignty over her revolted Colonies ? Such an exertion of vigour in the British Cabinet would be the wantonness of folly or :the Violence of madness. But The' Chro nicle renews the clamour against the supposi- Lion that Russia is.to be permitted to occupy norca, and that that is the probable price of Spanish purchase. It is a pity that The Chronicl e forgot to add that this idea was suggested to it Wj " some %% ho pretend to be in the score the cloven-foot of Jacobinism at length Appeals The Chronicle, for it says, in the true jacobinict spirit for which it has long been distinguishedl " so hampered are they (tlie British .Alinisteril with Legitimacy, that they i.nust needs renid; passive spectators of alt transactions in Ettr4l which pretend to have LegitiMacy for their ot . ject." What is the plain import of this passage : Why, that Great Britain is to pay no regard r, Established Governments and Hereditary Sovereigns but, at the risk of overthrowing them all, shooli l interfere in preventing Russia front selling he ships, because it may perhaps be found, that still is to bold Minorca as some security for the pai ment, and -in preventing Spain front endeavourind to recover her hereditary possessions. After tlt open avowal of such a doctrine., %rho will considt The Morning Chronicle as a legitimate Opposititi Paper, and 'not rat her as the Pander of Mob-passions! in tact, the Champion of Jacobinism and the dick zocate for Revolution? APPEAL OF MURDER.—ibis morning, in t1) 1 Court of King's Bench, Abraham Thornton, ap'l pealed of the murder of MARY ASHFORD by be' brother and next heir, was brought up, pursuant to the last order of the Court, and the Appellavt . was also in attendance. The counter-plea of t 1): Appellant was put in and read by the Cleik, which the Court was prayed not to s , .ffer tbt Appellee r to Wager his Battie,because of vio/0 1 presumption founded on ti;e facti of the case.
