" Minute bells were tolled at the different
churches in this town during the whole of Monday
last, in cousegoetica of the death of our lots vene-
rable and most gracious Sovereign."
It will be seen from the following subject, that
our venerable King bas departed this life. This
is an eveut which we have ioug been prepared to
expect. The many virtues which allurued his
character, render his memory dear to the hearts of
his subjects where it was always his d•,liglat to
reign. No eulogisers of our's can do justice to the
benevolence of his disposition. To review his life
would remind is of excellence indeed, but only of
excelleuce for ever torn from us. We hove to per-
form the duty of submitting to one of the most
painful dispensations of Providence.—( Blackburn
Paper.)
The intelligence of the death of the King reach-
ed this town on Sunday, about twelve o'clock. and
the event was communicated to several of the princi-
pal families in the church, during divine service.
Those persons, to whom the melancholy circum-
stance was thus revealed, became so affected, as to
excite the attention of the whole congregation, which
for a moment became much agitated, but by degrees
the fact was generally distributed, and the service
was not interrupted. The saute ev g the great
bell was tolled fur tw• hour., and yesterday
morning the inhabitants shelved their concern and
respect fur their departed Monarch, by closing the
shops; and thus a general gloom prevails, for the
loss of the revered Father of his People.—(Chelms-
ford Paper.)
Wiwi) the first news of the King's death reached
this town, every demonstration of unfeigned grief
was exhibited. Persons of ■ll descriptions were

of the first London coaches, they wive instwly sou-
rounded by crowds of anxious inquirers. Groups
were wen in the different streets throughout the
day, conversing with melancholy interest upon the
subject, and it would hire been plain to any one
unacquainted with the real fret, that some very
painful intelligence had been received. The bells
of the different Churches continued tolliiig during
the whole of the day, which added to the depres-
sion produced by the event; and we can add that
" the good old King" still liver, and will lung live
in the hearts of the loyal inhabitants of this,town.—
( Bleat/Ng/boss Paper.)
The intelligence of the nation's loss wan first ob-
tained in this city (Canterbury) from the London
coaches on Sunday afternoon, and was spread from
man to man, and house to house, with those ex-
pressions of sorrow characteristic of the reverence
felt for our good old King. The arrival of the Ex-
traordinary Gazette on Monday moriiiiig dispelled
all doubts; and a simultaneous feeling induced the
inhabitants generally to close their shops and private
dwellings, and the whole city seemed as one family
mourning the loss of its common father.' The tol-
ling of the bell Harry from the great tower of our
Cathedral conveyed the mournful intelligence
through the surrounding country; and the cnn-
tinued tolling of the bells in the parochial churches
contributed to deepen the gloom so generally felt
under the afflictiee Providence. The theatre,
conch-club, and all places of public. amusement,
are closed until the funeral of his Majesty shall
have taken place.—( Kent Herald.)

LIVERPOOL, FEBRUARY 2.
The account of the death of hi. late Majesty,
George the Third, was received hereon Tuesday
morning.
The town wears the appearance of universal
mourning ; all the shops and the principal part of
the houses have their windows closed ; the Custom.
house and Public Offices are closed ; the vessels in
the harbour have their colours half.mast high, and
one sentiment alone appears to pervade all tl
that of deep regret and veneration for his memory

was something in his sir and manner-which I
thought not only agreeable, but eitchatiiing,' and
that he seemed to me to be one of the hat
of men—a sentiment in which both their Ma-
jesties heartily joined. • They say that Loril

almost three o'clockibis hour of dinner), which Dr.

DESCRIPTION
OF THK !WY's!. VAULT.
IN sr. GEORGE'S CHAPEL, WINDSOR.

The royal cemetery was constructed by the late
Mr. Wyatt, by order of his late Majesty. It
was begun in 1810. An excavation was formed in
the dry rock of chalk, of the whole length and
width of the building, called Wolse,y's Tomb-house,
from the circumstance of its being intended by
Cardinal Wolsey, while in the zenith of his power,
4s the place of his interment. This excavation was
lmade to the depth of 15 feet from the surface, and
i. enclosed within the walls of the Tomb-house ; itt
thy_ the sepulchre is constructed. The dimensions
of the tomb are, 70 feet it/ length, 20 iu.wisith, mud
14 io depth.
The receptacles for bodies, on the sides of the
tomb, sir formed by massive Gothic columns of an
OUtitielti shape, supporting * rouge- oh foot shelves.
each of which, in the apace between the columns,
it formed to contain two bodies. the whole range
of each side affording space for 32 coffins. At the
earl end are five niches for the reception of as many
; in the middle 12 low tombs are erected for
Sovereign's. The sepulchre is thus calculated to
receive 81 bodies. The columns are of fine Bath
stove, and the shelves are of Yorkshire stone. A
isubterratteous pas•age is formed from the vault,
,order the choir of the chapel, where the coffin is
lowered ; and it is then privately placed in the
v....it. I ler late Majesty's interment was time fourth

tive Government of the country. according to the powers
vested ill him by the Bill paired by the two Houser of Par-
liament, and now on the point of rectiviag the sedelio• Of
the Great Seal.

a The Prince feels it incumbent upon him at this prelims
juncture to communicate to Mr. Perceral hie intention not
to remove from their stations those whom he Ands there as
his Majesty's official servants. At the meow time the Prince
owes it to the truth ■nd sincerity of character, which he
trust! will appear in every action of his Iffe, in whatever
situation placed, explicitly to declare, that the irresistible
impales of SIMt duty and affection to 11 is beloved mad
•dieted father, leads him to dread that any act of the Re-
gent might in the smallest degree have the effeel of inter-
fering with the progress of his Sovereign's mover,. This
consideration ♦LOKI dictates the decision now commoi-
titled to Mr. Peter's!.

“ Flaying thus performed ■n act of iimliapensable duty,
from • just seine of what is due to his own consistency and
honour, the Prince bee only to add, that among the many
blessinp to be derived from his Majesty's restoration to
health, and to the personal exercise of his Royal functions,
it will not in the Prince's estimation be the least, that that
most fortunate event will at once rescue him from a silos.
lion of unexampled embarrassment, and put a• end to •
state of affairs ill calculated, he fears, to sustain the inter.
est of the United Kingdom, in this awful and perilous
crisis, and most difficult to be reconciled to the gaited'
principle. of the British Constitution.”
" Downiag•street, February 5, 1811.

" Mr. Pieces's' presents hi. humble duty to your Royal
nighties., and has the honour to acknowledge the receipt of
your Royal Highness's letter of last night, which reached
him this morning. Mr. Perceval feet it his duty to express
his hireable thanks to your Royal Highness for the frank-
ern with which your Royal Highness has condescended ex-
plicitly to communicate the motives which have induced
your Royal Highness to holism, his Colleagues and him
with your commands for the continuance of their services,
in the stations intrusted to them by the King. And Mr.
Perceval begs leave to assure your Royal Highness, that in
the expression of your Royal Highness's sentiments of filial
and loyal attachment to the King, and of anxiety for the
speedy restoration of his Majesty'. health, Mr. Prreevat ten
see nothing but additional motives fur their most mellows
exertions to give satisfaction In your Royal Highness's views
for the serenity and happiness of the country.
" Mr. Perceval has never failed to regret the impression
of your Reyal Higher.. with regard to the provisions of the
Regency Bill, which his Majesty's Servants felt it to be their
duty to recommend in Parliament. But be ventures to sub-
mit to your Royal Highness, that whatever difficulties the
present awful crisis of the country an] the world may create
in the administration of the Pneutive Gorethment, your
Ruysl Highness will not find them in say degree increased
by the temporary suspension of the exercise of those breathes
of the Royal Prerogatives which have beeu introduced by
Parliament, i• conformity to what arse intended stn •
former similar occasion ; and that whatever Ministers
your Royal Highness might think proper to employ,
would find in that full support sod couutenance, which,
as long es they were honoured with your Royai Highness's
commands, they would feel confident they would con-
tinue to enjoy, ample, sad sufficient means to enable your
Royal Highness effectually to maintain the great and im-
portant interest of the United Kingdom. And Mr. Pennsl
humbly trusts, that whatever doubts your Royal Higher's
may entertain will, respect to the constitutional propriety
of the measures which have beer adopted, your Royal High-
er*. will feel unrest that they could out have been rectm-
emended by his Majesty's Menages, nor sanctioned by Parlia-
ment, but upon the sincere (though possibly errounes)con-
viction, that they, in no degree, trenched upon the true
principles and spirit of the Constitution. Mr. Perceval
feels it his duty to !add, that be bolds himself in readiness at
Amy moment to wait upon your Royal Highness/sled to re-
ceive ally commends with which your Royal Hieing, may
be graciously pleased to honour him."

caused by the inundations. It is feared that many

VIENNA, JANUARY 17.

Au order of the Government, notified on the 11th
to the Syndics of the innkeepers and coffee-house-
keepers, prohibits (mftrr the 22d) the public reed-
iug of foreign papers, both French and Germs°,
without exception, bat private persons will be per-
mitted during the present quarter to hove certain
German journals,. Thir measure extends to the
whole monarchy.
We have received accounts from Hungary which
agree in announcing the approaching convocation of
the Diet of that kingdom. It is said that one of the
first wishes which will be officially expressed to the
Emperor is relative to a uniform system of com-
merce t•etween all the hereditaty States of the mo-
narchy. The general opinion is decidedly in fa-
vour of the abolition of the internal tolls which
►eparate Magary mid its dependencies from
the German and Italian States of the monarchy,
to the great prejudice of the industry end real in-
terests of the several provinces which are cousidered
as entirely unconnected with each other. The Han-
gerions have complained for these twenty years of
a predilection manifested to their prejudice in fa•
your of Austria, properly so called. If these com-
plaints had formerly any foundation, this is nut the
cape at present, and the general and acknowledged
tendency of the Government is to make them cute
entirely. This will be evident when the uew Hun.
