the parks, and not only there; but in the more retired'
and obscure parts of the metropolis.
The bells of all the churches tolled at intervals dur-
ing the whole day. The charity children in several
parishes bore the signs of mourning; such as the sub-
stitution of black collars or cuffs, tiff those of other and
gayer colours ; some had sable bindings sewed
round their caps and their badges. Many of the fe-
rule children wore black ribands. The Courts of law
the public offices, the Royal Exchange, &c. were closed.
Orders were sent to all the dock yards to prohibit the
usual transaction of business. British vessels, and those
of all other nations, hoisted their colours only half-
mast high. In the different sea ports, minute guns
were directed so be fired at night. a a

The tolling of the great bell of St. Paul's, accompa-
nied by the bells of the other churches, excited much
feeling in the evening, when crowds in mourning
assembled on Blackfriar's-bridge ; and the solemn effect
was increased by the stillness of the river, and by the
moonlight
The Rev Mr. Blomberg performed Divine service
before the Prince Regent, at Carlton House. His
Loyal Highness did not quit his room the whole day,
and received no society except thut of the Duchess of
Gloucester.

. As the intelligence.of the death of our beloved Prin-
cess has spread throughout France, it has continned
every where to excite the liveliest sympathy in our af-
fliction. All the English vessels in the different French
ports have lowered their colours ; and wherever an
Englishman is to be seen his sable garments and down-
cast looks manifest his full participation in the grief
which shrouds his native home. Letters from the
grand head quarters at Cambray say, that on the news
arriving there, it spread universal grief and dismay in
the English army The Generals, the officers of all
ranks, were !.:een to shed tears of affliction, when they
were informed of the sad event... What funeral oration
could be more affecting ?—Not a single Englishman
was present at time last pertbrtnance of the Opera in
Paris. The news of the death of the Princess Char-
lotte was received in ilaniburgli on the 16th inst. and
excited in tile numerous English residents
,thcre the
same heart-struck•grief with which it has overwhelmed
their countrymen at home.
The mournfUl event of the death of the Princess
Charlotte has, in one, and only one solitary instance,
giken rise o sentiments of a less generous
character.
The Che it Journal, hitherto remarkable for nothing
but its hostility to England, has made this event a pre-
tence for uttering some miserable slanders against our
Royal Family, and tin expressing his wishes, in the
form of prophecies, .for the overthrow of the reigning
dynasty.

Friday, about five o'clock, the Prince Regent, at-
tended by the Rev. Mr. Blomberg, left Carlton-house
for Brighton. •
A Mr. Carpenter, who for many years kept the Three
Mariners inn, at Esher, near Claremont, and whose
family received much kindness from the late Princess
Charlotte and her. Consort, was so affected when he
Leant of the demise of her Royal Highness, that he
nearly fainted. He was seized with indisposition, talked
of nothing but the death of the Princess, and expired
the next day..
