The Araxes, of guns, Capt. G. M. Bligh, has ar-
rived at Portsmouth, from the Jamaica station ; she
sailed from Port Royal on the 15th of June. The Pique,
Tav, and Esk, haul arrived from England, for the peace
service. The .huton, Capt. Fatishawe, was to leave
Port Royal on the 17th of June, for the Havannah and
Plymouth. A very tragical circumstance took place at
Port Royal on the 111th ult. It appears that offence
had been given by one of the hnt's crew to a party of
the Blacks, who, in consequence, on the thllowin even-
ing, went in a busty to the landing-place, determined to
revenge the insult on the first British Officer they should
meet with. Lieut. the tion..T. Calthorpe, of the Junon,
was, untbrtunately, landing frnra that ship at the mo-
mitt, and he instantly fell a victim to their brutal re-
v'euit,re.

ing particulars to the above:—

CHARACTER OF QUEEN. MARY,

WIFE OF WILLIAM 111.

BY BISHOP BURNEY, A. D. 1695.

The charrTter of this pious Queen affords a rich exam-
ple for the contemplation of all who are placed in elevated
stations, by whose great influence their conduct and sen-
timents generally govern the manners of their times.—
She died December 2d, 1694, aged 33.
" MODESTY and humility covered a great deal from
commaa observation ; but no clouds can quite darken a
day ; it casts a light, even when it does not shine out.
" Her punctual exactness, not only to public duties, but
to her secret retirement, was so regular, that it never
was put oft; in the greatest cloud of business or little jour-
ties; then, though the hour was anticipated, the duty
was never neglected: she took care to be so curly on those
occasions, that she might never quite forget, or very
much shorten, that, upon which she reckoned that the
blessing of the whole day turned. She observed the
Lord's Day so religiously, that, besides her hours of re-
tirement, she was constantly thrice a day in the public
worship of God ; and for a great part of the year four times
a day, while she lived beyond sea. She was constant to
her monthly Communions, and retired herself more than
ordinary for some days before them. In them, as well as
in all the other parts of the worship of God, an unexam-
pled seriousness appeared always in her, without one
glance let out, but tin observation ; and such care was
taken to hide the more solemn elevations of her mind to
God, that these things struck all those who saw them,
Lut had never seen any thing like them before. This
spread a spirit of devotion among all that were about her ;
who could not sec so much in her, without feeling some-
what to arise in themselves ; though few could chain
themselves down to such a fixed and steady application as
they saw in her: nothing in that was theatrical; nothing
given to shew ; every thing was sincere, as well as so-
lemn ; and genuine, as well as majestic. She was not
content to be devout herself—she infused that temper
into all that came near her—chiefly into those whom she
took into her more immediate care—whom she studied to
nin with the tenderness and watchfulness of a mother.
She charmed them with her instructions, as she overcame
them with her kindness. She scattered books of instruc-
tion to all who were about her ; and pave frequent orders,
that good books should be laid in the places of attendance,
that such as waited might not be condemned to idleness,
but might entertain themselves, usefitlly, while they
were in their turns of service. She had a true regard to
piety wherever she saw it, in what flirm or party sower.
Her judgment tied her to her Communion ; but her cha-
rity was extended to all. The liberty that sonic have
taken to unchurch great bodies of Christians for some de-
fects and irregularities, were strains that she coaskd never
assent to ; nor indeed could she well, bear, them. She
longed to see us in a closer conjunction with all Protes-
tants abroad ; and hoped we might strengthen ourselves
at home, by uniting to us as many as could be brought
within our body. Few things ever grieved her more
than that those hopes seemed to languish, and that the
prospect of so desired an union vanished out of sight.
The raising tiac reputation and authority of the clergy,
as the chief instrument for advancing religion, was that
to which she intended to Apply her utmost diligence.
She charged those whom she trusted most in such mat-
ters, to look out for the best men, and the best preachers,
that they might be made known to her. She was under
a real anxiety, when church preferments, especially the
more eminent ones, were to be disposed of. She reck-
oned, that that was one of the main parts of her care ;
for which a particular account was to be given to that
God from whom her authority was derived, and to whom
she had devoted it. She could deny the most earnest so-
licitations with a true firmness, when she thought the
son aid not deserve them ; for that was superior with
her to all other considerations. But when she denied
things, she did it with so much softness, and upon so
good reason, that such as might be mortified by the re-
pulse, were yet forced to confess that she was in the
right, even when, for the sake of a friend, they wished
that she had for once been in the wrong. She thought
the Christian Religion was revealed from Heaven to
male mankind happy here, as well us hereafter ;—no inti-
mation was ever let fall to her in any discourse that of-
fered a probable mean of making us better, which was
lost by her; the last thing which she settled with the
primate (Archbishop Seeker) was a scheme of such rules
as our present circumstances could bear, published since
her death by his \I ajesty. She judged rightly, that the true
end of power and the best exercise of it was to do good,
and to make the world the better for it. She often said,
that she found nothing in it to make it supportable, not
to say pleasant, besides that, Sze. She encouraged those
whom she admitted to frequent access, to lay before her
all the occasions of doing good that might occur to their
thoughts ; and was always well pleased when new op-
portunities were offered her, in which she might exercise
that which was the most valued of' all her prerogatives ;
and she charged the consciences of some with a command
to keep nothing of that nature front her which they
thought she ought to know. As in her life, so in her
death, she was exemplary. hlark the perti2et, and be-
hold the uyright,—for their end is peat:sc.". H.

THE ROYAL MARRIAGE.
—rop—

Probably there never watTa marriage of a Prince and
Princess which gave more general satistitetion to the
whole country than that of the Duke of Gloucester and
the Princess Mary, both of them being well known fin.
their virtues and congenial habits. The Royal Duke has
been long celebrated fbr the patronage and warm support
which he gives to a number of Institutions tending to the
improvement of the morals and the general pod of society,
not only by his presence, but with his purse, in public
subscriptions ; and his pocket is ever open to private
cases of distress. In his own establishment he is beloved
by all. I !is future happiness and comlint with his Royal
Consort is therefore warmly anticipate 1.--The public and
private character of the Princess are principally known
at Windsor, where she has chiefly resided with the King
and Queen. There she was ever furemost in supporting
schools, and visiting poor families and relieving them,
without its being known to any person. Many poor
children she not only has educated, but maintained them
at her own expenft ; in filet, her benevolence hes been
such, that she has had nothing to reserve from her income.
The poor of Windsor will feel a great loss in her removal.
The more opulent also greatly regret her departure, as
she was as much admired in the higher circles as beloved
in the subordinate rani:s. Among the former she has dis-
tributed many costly tolers oilier esteem. The wedding
had been long determined on; but the day was not finally
fixed till Wednesday, and the cards of invitation were
issued from the Lora Chamberlain's Office on Friday.—
The persons who were invited were the same who attend-
ed the marriage of the Princess Charlotte, with a very
few exceptions, it being considered a private wedding.

It being determined that the solemnization should take
place in the grand saloon in the Queen's Palace, a most
superb altar was tnished there on Saturday; and the new
Throne, which was placed over the principal door to the
grand entrance, for the Queen to receive the Addresses
upon the marriage of the Princess Charlotte, formed the
back of the altar, and gave additional splendour. The
whole was formed of. crimson velvet and gold lace, prin-
cipally from the Chappel Royal and Whitehall Chapel,
with the cushions and stools. The gold, communion plate
was the most massive and costly that ever was displayed
upon any one occasion, comprising the royal plate belong-
ing to King William, from Whitehall Chapel. The arrange-
ments of the elegant suite of rooms in the Queen's Palace
were judiciously prepared for the company and the pro-
ceedings of the ceremony.
Exactly at twelve o'clock on Monday the Duke of
Gloucester went in his carriage to the Queen's Palace, to
fray a morning visit to his intended bride, the Queen, and
Princesses Augusta and Elizabeth. The Royal Duke re-
turned to Gloucester-house, and dined privately at five
o'clock.

A Guard of Honour marched into the Court-yard, in
the front of the Queen's Palace, at seven o'clock, and a
party of the Foot Guards and Life Guards, with a nu-
merous body of the Police, were stationed in the Park
to regulate the carriages. The company began to
assemble soon after. The Palace was arranged as on
the Drawing-room days. At the top of the first flight of
stairs a Yeoman of the Guard was stationed, which gave
it a grand appearance. The company were shown into an
anti-room, except the Royal Family, and they entered by
the Queen's dining-room.

The Duke of Gloucester came in state at 20 minutes
past eight o'clock, dressed in a Field-Marshal's uniform,
wearing the Order of the Garter. The Duke and Duchess
of York followed directly after in state.—The Prince Re-
gent arrived at half past eight, escorted by a party of the
Life Guards, and accompanied by the Mike of Clarence.
Prince Leopold came at a quarter before nine, and soon
after the ceremony commenced. The Quern took her sta-
tion on the left side of the altar, where there was a state
chair; Prir cesses Augusta, Elizabeth, the Duchcas of York,
and Princess Sophia of Gloucester, to the left ; and the
Prince Regent on the right side, and his Royal Brothers
near him. Every thing being properly arranged, the Lord
C'hamberlaine retired, and introduced the Duke of Glou-
cester. Soon after the Duke of Cambridge introduced
the Princess Mary, and presented her Royal Highness
to the Prince Regent, who gave her away. Her Royal
Highness's head-dress was without feat'aers. She was
ornamented with a brilliant fringe neeiduce : a bandeau,
forming a wreath of rose•, round her forehead, of the
same ; a row of brilliant crescents, with elegant light
sprigs, as if issuing from the centre, formed a coronet,
and encircled the crown of the head ; large brilliant top,
and pearl drop earrings ; a brilliant girdle to correspond
with the bandeau ; the bracelets of brilliants, forming a
chain, with flowers in the locks ; and a brilliant flower
hr oach.

The Ladies dresses were very splendid, blue was the
prevailing colony of the trtins; the whole forming a most
solemn and splendid assemblage. The ceremony was per-
formed by the Archbishop of Canterbury, assisted by the
Bishop of London.
A signal was given from the third window in front of
the Palace, which communicated by signals for a royal
salute to he fired, which commences! at seven minutes
past nine o'clock ; in which, however, there was a mis-
take, as the ceromony wns not alxwe half over, and it ought
to have finished before the salute began.

L.:

After the ceremony had concluded, the Royal Family,
including the Bride and Bridegroom, retired to the Queen's
private apartments for some time ; and the Queen and
Family, except the Bridegroom, returned to the Saloon
and the Drawing-room, and received the congratulations
of the distinguished throng.
At a quarter before ten o'clock, the bride, having dress-
ed fln travelling in a white satin peli'se and bonnet, re-
tired, leaning on the Prince Regent's arm, followed by
the Duke of Cambridge, who handed herinto her earriage ;
when the Duke of Gloucester stepped in, and they drove
off to Bwshot, amid the acclamations of the multitude.
One claim amongst others which the new-married royal
pair put thrth to the affection and gratitude of the country,
at this crisis of public penury is, that they have, we
understand, declined countenancing any application to
Parliament for a marriage-dower to the Princess ; the
Duke of Gloucester declaring, that he thought his own
income, with that of the Princess his spouse, was sufficient
for their joint support, with a degree of splendour appro-
priate to their rank. This is wisely as well as generously
determined. There is no money the country could have
bestowed which would have done their Highnesses such
essential service as this forbearance. We again say, they
are entitled to the love and gratitude of the country for
it.
