The tete yesterday evening was more splendid
than the first; it was favoured by weather Trite ex-
traordinary for the season, and the greatest part of
the population Of the city thronged the streets.
An affecting scene tonk place in the midst of
the fete, and will be long remembered litre. The
Emperor Alexander, after having danced 'With his
august mother, threw himself into her arms, and
embraced her several times with that respect and
tenderness, which the sincerest filial piety alone
am inspire. It is impossible to express the lively
and affecting emotions which this unexampled cir-
cumstance excited in the hearts of all those who
had the happiness to witness it. The Emperor of
Russia retired at midnight. The King aurl Queen
withdrew half an hour after him, without partaking
of the supper. _ _

The King of Prussia is riot yet arrived. The

The arrest of several persons. mostly foreigners.
is still the subject of every conversation, and ain.

gularly excites the public attention. If we were to
repeat all the reports that circulate so this subject.
horror and indignation would be excited in the
highest degree. The whole is so obscure, that it
would be imprudent to listard a conjecture on so
delicate a subject, which will probably be soon
'cleared up.

Paris Papers to the 20th instant have reached
our Office. The Moniteir contains a Royal Ordi-
nance, by which the meeting of the Legislative
Chambers, which hod originally been fixed for the
30th day of this month, is postponed to the 10th
day of December. The Ministers, it is thought,
will find some embarrassment in the proceedings of

the ensuing Session, in consequence of the unfit-
vourable results of the greater part of the late elec-
tions. Private accounts affirm that the Cabinet
have made advances to the most distinguished
leaders of the party of the Liberaux, but the latter
are said to be so confident in their own strength
that they declined even treating with their rivals,
except upon principles which implied an almost
total change in the political system. The Duke
of RICHRLIEU is expected to arrive in Paris about
the 26th of this month, at which time, it is be-
lieved, the Duke of WELLINGTON and M. Pozzo
itt Bonoo will also visit that capital. All accounts
seem to indicate the immediate close of the Con-
gress. The 14th was considered as being the last
dry of ministerial conference at Aix.la-Chapelle.
The Monarch., Ministers, and Rankers, were pre-
paring for their departure. The Emperor of
RUSKA and King of Paussii proposed to set out
fur Brussels on the evening of the 16th, or the
morning of the 17th, en which day the Emperor
of Atirenta intended to depart for Cologne. where
he was to remain one day, and then proceed to his
own capital. Mr. BARING has arrived in Paris.
It is asserted in • private letter from Aix-lo-
Chapelle, that the King of PRUSSIA has son•
eluded a private agreement with Messrs. Hopi and
BARING, the Contractors for paying the French
rootributien, by which his Metasvir is to receive
his share of the money before the time specified in
the new Convention for the payment of the other
Powers.

Saturday afternoon arrived at Portsmouth, the
extra-ship ifiN3f. Captain TAILOR, from Calcutta,
the Cape of Good Hope, St. Helena, and Ascension,.
bringing a mail from each of these places. She
touched at St. Helens on the 16th of October
(17 days after the Masquite). when BONAPARTE
was in an improved state of health, and the island
in a perfect state of tranquillity. The Linerpaol
frigate, Captain Colman, had touched at the
Cape. on her way to Trincomalee. It was the
Mturepito, Captain BRIMS, that brought the ac-
%lomat of the fatuous plot to liberate BONAPARTE.
The Pelican. of is guns, Captain Ctrazox, has
arrived at Portsmouth from Port Royal, Jamaica,
after a passage of only IS days, bringing 300.000
dollars, on account of merchants. The Tyrims.
Captain Faux, sailed on the same day for Eng-
land. Captaiu POPSAIS had exchanged with Capt.
Faux, of the Bearer. The Pique and Primrose
had left the station three weeks previously, on their
return home; the former was to call at the Haven-
ash, the latter at Honduras. The Largoe was the
only ship left at Port Royal. The island and aqua.
dross were very healthy. No news from the Spanish
Maio.

the evening.
On Saturday evening, about half-past eight
o'clock, the leaden coffin fur the late Qutem was
removed from the dining-parlour at Kew Palace,
Isys Mr. BAITING, one of the royal undertaker..
end his assistant.. to her MAJESTY'S chamber,
where she breathed her hot, on the east end of the
Palace, where being placed on treseels, the Men
employed on that occasion instantly withdrew..
Preparations were then made for placing the re-
mains of the Wiese in the Coffin. which we ton-
ducted in the most solemn manner, under the
immediate direction and superintendence of Mr.
Mass. of the Lord Chanaberlaili's office, end
Mr. E. A. BakNDE, the apothecary to the KING'S
persoo.' in the presence of Mrs. BECIIENDOEVE.
Miss IncILENDONer, add the other females who
have been the constant attendants of the Queen
during her long end painful illness, both at the
Queen and Kew Palaces. The last act towards
the Royal remains being iccumplished at nine
o'clock, the body was wrapped in a while satin
sheet. The interior of the coffin we described on
Friday. Every thing being completed that was
necessary for J.:e Royal remains, Mr. BEAN DE,
agreeably to the duty of his office, proceeded to
fill the coffin with spices; after this was finished,
Mr. HOLROYD, the plumber, and his a•sistants;
were admitted, and the cover was soldered to the
coffin in the presence of the above-named official
persona.
Mourning is preparing for the different Royal
establishments.
The mourning for her MAJErry was yesterday
very general. Appropriate sermons were preached
in the several Churches.
The Chapels Royal of St. James's, Windsor,
Whitehall, and the Tower. were yesterday hung
with black as mourning for her late MAJESTY.
The Royal Closet at St. James's Chapel Royal,
with the seats, chairs, cushions, and other furniture,
were coovered with purple, being the Sovereign's
mourning.
• Her MAJESTY, in her will, we understand, hati
left her house and gardens at Frogmore to her
Royal Highness the Princess Aucurea, and the
lower Lodge at Windsor to the Princess SOPHIA.
There yet remains the Queen's Palace. commonly
called Buckingham' House, which was granted to
her M IngSTY in lieu of Somerset House ; hut how
this has been disposed of, or whether her MAJESTY
hod the power to dispose of it by will, we do not
exactly know. Her MAJESTY's will, it is under-
stood. was completed its August last.
Preparations Continue to be made for the funeral
of bee MAJESTY, but it is said that no time is yet
fixed for; the interment. Probably that.motornful
ceremony will take place the latter end of this
week ; but no order, either with respect to the ce-
remonial or the period. has yet been issued.
We understand her Masairew will lie in state fur
only three days, commencing about the middle of
this week, at Kew Palace. The remains will be
interred at Windsor. The removal thither from
Kew will be in the daytime.
We learn with much pleasure that the bodily
health of the KING continues unimpaired; bet
that during the intervals of reason with which be is
blest, he makes constant inquiries after the Qu ace.
Should her Man:aye's death be communicated to
our venerable Sovereign. it is feared the conse-
quences may be serions.—(o6server.)

placed on the coffin :--
