DE.ITH OF EIS MAJESTY
GEORGE THE"ffilliD.

" A NATION suff_rs 01.11 a good KING digs,"--
and we have the pitiftil and afflicting task to
announce the Death ()font: of the most amiable and
best of Sovervi„oos that ever adorned a throne. His
Majesty George the Third departed this life on
Saturday evening, at half past eight o'clock. Yes•
tertLy morning, between twelve and one (Mod:,
General Cartwright arrived at Carlton I louse ex-
press from Windsor, to announce the sorrowful and'
melancholy intelligence—As a moral character, his
late Majesty set an exampla to the Court
.and hie
people, that operated greatly for the benefit of seci
ety and had inneh influence on the morals of his
subjects As a Monarch, be was dignified and sin-
cere, humane and merciful; and in private life, he
was so very amiable and condescending that his me-
mery will ever be revered by Englishmen. As a
pareut, his Majesty could not be excelled ; as a So-
vereign, Europe will bear testimony of his merits and
-virtues ; and as a friend, lie was constant and sin-
cere ; and wherever he dispeesed his munificence,
, it was accompanied with such refined delicacy, that
he seemed hintself‘the persoa obliged, and not the
individual on whom he conferred a favour. The
decline of his Majesty's health since Friday last, it
is said, was more rapid than ever was witnessed in
any other patient by his physicians. lie sunk hn-
•Ttptibly into death without a sigh, and the ease
that accompanied his expiring moments was suitable
to the amekness that distinguished a long and fault-
less life. Ills Royal, Highness the Duke of York
was present at the dissolution of his venerable pa,
rent, as Carlos of his Majesty's person, snit was
much afflicted, and as soon, as his sorrow would
,permit, be dispatched a short letter to his present
Majesty George the Fourth, announcing the me-
lancholy event.
The accustomed processions, on such occasions,
set out from Carlton house at twelve o'clock this day,
having fiistproelaimed his preeent Majesty in front
of Waterjao..l!lace, and proceeded by Charing Cross,
when the proclamation was repeated; toTemple Bar,
Wood SVaet, theßoyal,Exchange, and Aldgate, at
each of wllich,plaees hie Majesty was proclaimed in
the usual form.
,We intend giving a Biographical
sketch of our revered and beloved Monarch next
week.

formalities which an Act of Parliament prescribe, con-

It is a first princlifle Its the law. ot litAl..nil that these

the riding monarch. site Crown instantly devolies upon
tits successor. _llls 1441 Ht tunes, the Pi nice Rt.gent,

THIS Is the first political-tenth. Tne next consinuenc.
of the Royal demise is, that all trifiCes„ judicial mid
executory, iduueikatety t. runtime In their respective
possessors. Account% to tile yrlllliei, of the old law,
the paient of the Logo Chancellor, and those of the
iticges, who are the mere appouit-cs of the Ro,al will,
would be revoked by the Kung's tleato. But in consi-
deration of the infinite mischief which this would occa-
sion, an Act of Parl &intent was passed on the coin-
niencemein of his late Majesty', reign, by which all
j‘liileldi and executory tfflieets are continued in their
apl,ouuinruts, And aeCthd:lsti to the terms and conditions

ell, as convoked by the will of the laid Sot eteign,
ai,d therefore ipso foci° terminated by his death, conti-
nues a lip' and efficient Pailianient even cuter
death, for toe term or six months, exclusive of the day of
the rojal tit.llllse.
Upon lute death of the King the rule is, that the
Privy Council immediately assemble; and the accession
of his Majesty is recorded by a solemn act of stair. Par
fitment, if sitting, (as it now is, though unfit r a tempo
rary adjournment), meets: the day heat to the Royal
demise. No o her ptmlic business, but such as is
connected with the {,resent accession, will take place,
or he commenced, till atter the, King's Inner:A.
With respect to all patents of ufitce,..as we hate be-
fore said, tney must Ise renewed within six months ;
and every person executing a judicial office without such
renewal, falls within the dangers of a premunire.
But every thing, judicial as well as executory, will
proceed as tteretoiore, for the space of six months, outlets
sooner revoked by Rfi present Alajesty. Such are th
inimediatc and impoitant consetluences of the royal
demise.
%Vint respect to the present .King's coronation, as it
makes no part of his royal tole, it may, e postponed ac-
cording to his will. Inns Majesty King George IV. will
probably take the, cult/nautili oath before the

Council.

morrow. We undergtood that such an agreement
was afterwards entered into.
