Yesterday Mr. MASH, the Loan ettaxaERLAIN'S Secretary,, left town for Windsor, to make the necessary arrangements for the Funeral of our ever ; to-be-lamented PRLNCESS, and to receive the tatmEN'S commands as to the Ceremonial. The outer coffins are its a state of great for wardness s —that for tite PRINCESS was nearly : finished last night, as was also that for the In _ faut, and both will be completed in the course of this day. They are'each covered with su perb crimson Genoa velvet, enriched with beautiful nails, formed into pannels ; those on the Parscss's coffin are silver gilt—the others are of plain silver. The handles were not finished by the artists employed ; they are said to be very • - •- ttsagniticent. The inscription plates had not made their appearance 'from the Herald's College. The costs of the PRINCESS is of very large dimen sions ; it_is upwards of six feet in • length, and 'broad in proportion. The materials of both are of the fittest Spanish malsokany. • The Funeral of her Royal Highness will take place at night tersevday next). The Bodi es w ill lie in state at Windsor in the same spot where the elate Princess AMELIA. lay in state—Augusta Lodge. His Serene Highness Prince Lsoroso is to at tcad the funeral as Chief Mourner. The presence of his Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT is compatible with his situation in the exercise of the functions of Sovereignty. Those of the Royal Dukes-who are in the kingdom .at this sad time will, it is understood, attend the ceremony. All the Cabinet Ministers will also assist, at the mournful occasion. The scene wilt be most agonizing —that agony, the most dreadful of all, which is voluntarily en dured for the melancholy satisfaction of paying the last duties to tits Remains of those most dear to tu--of those from whom we are for ever parted in this world--tbe last farewell on the threshold of the grave before it finally closes upon all pros pect of happiness upon earth. The ROYAL FAMILY have been most anxious and attentive in their efforts to console the afflicted Prince LEOPOLD. The PRINCE RE GENT would have gone to him immediately Aker the event, bet Prince LEoroLD wished for a few days to be spared the additional sorrow that would be experienced bysering the Father of the Princess. Yesterday, however, in the after- noon, his Royai Highness went to Claremont, and saw his disconsolate Son-in-Law. The par ticularsof this afflicting interview have not tran spired. The PRINCE REGENT returned in the evening to Carlton-house. The health of the QUEEN has visibly impaired by the fatal event. Her MAJES:Y yesterday re- ceived a visit from the Duke and Duchess of GLOUCESTER, who had been since Sunday morn- ng residing at Carlton-house, for the purpose of soothing the melancholy of the PEuNc RE'GF.NT. A portrait of the Princess, which was under the bands of Sir TilomAs LAWRENCE, has been ordered bottle in its unfinished state : it is placed in the room tvhicti his Royal Highness constantly occu pies, and he sits before it ) contemplating the well- known lineament : Animun picturi pascit PRIVATE LETTERS. CLAREMONT, Tuesday, Four o'clock, p, m,—We are like the inhabitants of a deserted village ; scarcely a person to be seen in the l'ark but those of necessity and business ; and those that meet, their quivering lips continue to tell and lament over their tale of woe, till their eyes are flooded with tears. Instead of shaking of hands, and smiles which beamed on every countenance but a few days since, the approach and meeting of each other now is only by the shaking of downcast heads at d lilting up of hands as symptoms of dis may, as if there were nothing of comfort remain- -1 T he public feeling tow ar d s our gr i evous l y af flicted Prince L eo p o ld i s very great, and the ineraccus alter hi s h ea l t h are not merely ter - , many so, as their anxiety is evident on their distressed countenances—his overwhelming and distressing case comes home to the feelings of every man. The Princess and Prince were never happy hut in each other's company, having but one object iii view; what one wished the other readily agreed to ; they were of one mincL It is always observed on a new married pair, that their 1 honey-moon, meaning their lover's joy, is but of short duration, but is was not so with our be loved and ever-to-be-regretted Princess Charlotte and Prince Leopold ; their honey-moon, as it is called, has never ceased, but on the contrary, has increased daily, if possible, since their happy union, nod since that time they never have been separated but for a few hours, and that has been when Prince Leopold was called upon to pay his respectful duty to his Royal Father the Prince Le , .gtilt. dt Ul% LJeVeeS, or upon some other lic occasion.—Their study and conduct was to make every one comfortable upon their establish ment, in which they happily succeeded, every thing being conducted with the greatest regula rity and, good management, by an admirable se lection of attendants end domestics to carry their commands into execution. The following Bulle tin was this day issued on the state of Prince Leopold : " Claremont, Nov. 11. "The Prince LEOPoLD had a rery restless niA, , ht, and is more agitated than hitherto. " C. STOCKMAN." Prince Estethazy and the Earl of Liverpool ar rived to pay a visit of condolence. Both these distinguished characters were deeply affected. The Earl of Liverpool came here in a very private manner, in a four-wheel two-horse chaise, at tended only by the driver. Lord Castiereagh's visit yesterday was short, in consequence of the deep affliction he evidently laboured ou►der. The livery servants and those of the Prin Regent are to be put in deep mourning. FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT. Claremont, Wedneallay ifornr7ne, Nine o'Clock Gcneral WEATHERALL, the Equerry and Aid de-Cany to the Duke of KENT, was to leave Kensington Palace last night or early this morn ing, in the Duke of KENT's carriage ; to wait the anival of his Royal' Highness in England, and bring him to Loudon, in consequence of the much lamented death of his beloved Niece. Mr. BALL, the principal Page to :the Duke of 'CUMBERLAND, was the bearer of the dispatch from Loudon to the Duke at Worthing, where Mr. BALL arrived at six o'clock on Thursday evening, communicating.' the awful and mournful intelligence of the death of his beloved Niece, the Princess CHARLOTTE, which overwhelmed the Royal Duke with grief for some time, and he very promptly left the place, an hour after receiving the distressing intelligence, for London. Several artists have applied for permission to take a mask likeness of the Princess, but none of them have been attended to. The short notice of the General Mourdag ap pearing only in the Gazette of Saturday, and the mourning beginning on Sunday, prevented its be ing-so general on Sunday as it is at present. ABELARD AND HELOISE. • The following article respeCting these unfor tunate lovers; always interesting since their me morable history was known to the world at large, and rendered peculiarly so in this country, by one of the most beautiful Poems in our language, is taken from a Paris journal, and we are per suaded that it will be gratifying to every o ßeader of feeling " In the month of June last, in the cemetry of Pere Lachaisc at Paris, near the cemetery of the Israelites, the foundation of the sepulchral Cha pel of Heloise and Abelard was laid on piles. This monument is now completely rebuilt. Abelard died at the Priory of St. Marcel of Chalons-sur,. Marne, April 21, 1143, and was buried there. Peter of Cluny sent his body privately to the Pa raclete to Heloise: she placed the coffin of her lover in a Chapel called le petit Moustier, which Abelard had built. Heloise died May 17, 1163: she was 63 years old. Her body was joined to that of her husband. In 1497 the common coffin was transferred to the great church of the mo nastery, but the bones of each body were sepa rated, and a tomb was erected (in each side of the choir. In 1630, Mary of La Rochefoucault placed the two tombs in the Chapel of the Trinity. " 1766, Madame de Rouarre de la Rochefou cault conceived the plan of erecting a new monu ment to the lovers : it was•not executed till atter her death. This monument was formed of a group of the Trinity, which Abelard had caused to be sculptured, and of a pedestal which contain ed the inscription Hic sub eodeth marmore jacent Itujus monasterii coedi tor, Petrus Abelardus, et Abbatissa fieloissa, slim studiis, ingehio ; amore, infoustis uuptiis, et penitentia, nunc eterna quod speramus felicitate conjuncti.' 4 Here, under the same stone, lie Peter Abelard, the founder of this Monastery; and the Abbess lleloisr, once united in studies, in disposition, in love, in their ill-fated nuptials, and their repentance, now, let us hope, in eternal happiness.' " In 1792, before the sale of the Paraclete, the remains of Heloise and Abelard were hronght to tl►e church Nogent-sur-Seine, where they were placed in a private vault. They were in one cof fin, with a plate of lead between them. " In 1800 (year 8) they were brought to Paris —then M. Alexandre Lenoir, Director of the Museum of French Monuments, raised a Cha pel of the 12th century, in the garden of the Museum. In 1814 this Monument was dis placed, and in 1815 placed the third course of the Museum. " In June 1817 they were temporarily placed in the Church of St. Germain-des-Pres, and after wards in a room of the house in the cemetery of Mont Louis, till they were at last deposited in the stone sarcophagus in the centre of the sepul chral chapel of which we have spoken. On the 7th November this last ceremony took place."— (Paris Paper) A strong detachment of the 19th Regiment of Light Dragoons, dismounted, are arrived at IVey mouth, to ta!ie charge of the horses belonging to the 23d Dragoons, lately di.handed.

COMMISSIONERS TO SOUTH AMERICA.-TIIC Ss, ing of the Ontario will excite much attention , Judge PREVOST (late of New Orleans) and Mr• BRACKENRIDGE, go out as Commissioners to what place ? One Paper says, destination unknown; another to the Brazils ; a third gives a far more important destination, to. Chili, to make such aro rangements in that country as the interests of the United States may require. Dare we pierce the veil which has been so assiduously thrown over this measure, we could guess (and a mere conjecture it is certainly) that they go out not to recognize the Independents of Chili or of any other country, but to gather the information which the United States may ask pre vious and preparatory to a recognition, to sound lie state of the Country, to see for themselves the actual condition of Buenos Ayres, Chili, &c.; to determine whether any of them and whirl► has succeeded in establishing its independence, Of is likely to do so ; that in a measure so !flue fraught with interesting and complicated conside' rations, our Government may have better infor mation than the statements of seafaring persons.
