Cont. Perry and Captain Heath, it is re
ported, have made an artangement to settle their
differences by duel ; the meeting to take place
00111 c% here to the eastward. A skiival ..Ilietr of
high rank, now absent fruit, this city, is named as
akeoi.d to the former. Captain Heads, who gene
rally resides lien-, left the city a few days ago ; and
Coin. l'erry, who fatly arlived how Baltimore,
leturtted it, the Malt dirt 4. lluis the nazi
Their motements, and LOAM Uloct circutudauces of

a corroborating nature, seem to.atrengthen the eon.
jecture. We are just told that the parties are to
meet this morning near the Delawar line, and that
number of respectable officers of rank, who were
made acrptsinted with the business, have repaired to
the ground.

From her MAJESTY'S frugal habits, and the
largeness of her income, the public expected that
she would die possessed of property to a great
amount. The speculation has entirely failed. Her
MAJESTY has made • will, in which it appears that
she was not possessed of 3,000/. in money at the
time of her demise, and that she had none in the
funds. Her diamonds she has bequeathed to her
Daughters, with a larger share of tl►em between the
two unmarried Princesses, SoPHIA and Annum.
A mong the Ladies of her Household the Countess
of H ARCQURT is remembered as one of the oldest of
its members, and of her MAJESTY'S most intimate
friends. None of the particulars of the funeral
have transpired. It is left by the Council entirely
under the unlimited direction ■nd management of
the LORD CtiasixEstatte. The following is the
Court Circular :

Mr. MASH. or the Lord Chamberlain's Office,
and Mr. BANTINQ, one of the royal undertakers,
arrived at Kest Palace 14st evening, soon after six
o'clock, to make arrangements respecting the late
QUEEN'S funeral.

No time is yet mentioned. from any anthority,
when the funeral of her late Msreirrir is to take
place; in fact, we ate assured that no time was
tired laot evening.

Sir FRANCIS MILMAN remains st Kew Palace.
Yesterday the following notice was issued from
the Lord Chamberlain's Office to Messrs. Fasscs
sn4 DARTING, the royal undertakers, respecting
thelsou-ezhibitiou of the late Queelia coffin :
"Lord Chamber:Ws Office,
Norenber 20, MC

" Messrs. France and Ranting are hereby most perempto-
rily ordered sot to mile a public exhibition of the coffin
of her late Majesty, nor allow it to be seen by say person
whatever. " T. B. MASH,"

We understand that the demise of the QUEEN
wilt be attended with certain changes in the Ca..
binet, which have been for come time coutem-
plated, but were hitherto not carried into execution
from a deference to her MAJESTY'S sentiments.—
The Earl of LIVERPOOL and the LORD CHAN-
CELLOR had expressed • wish to retire from an ac-
tive share in public life ; but it was understood
to be her MAJESTY'S pleasure that they should
continue to retain their high offices. The ab-
sence of these Noble Lords from the Cabinet
will at least, in one important point, produce en
effect upon the political state of the country :
we allude to the question relating to the laws
affecting the Roman Catholics, in which they
took a most decided and active part against
their suffering countrymen. We believe that in
this, as indeed in every other matter, they acted
from the purest and most conscientious motives ;
but the mars of a good mind are not a whit less
injurious to the public weal than the mischievous
• emanations of a depraved understanding. The Ca-
binet is known to be at present divided in opinion
upon the Catholic Question, and yet now that ex-
ternal dangers have ceased to threaten, there is no
point upon which the Administration of the coun-
try• ought to be more tplited and more deter-
mined. Should Lord GRENVILLE succeed the
Earl of LtvestrooL, as is generally expected, and
no less generally desired, the majority will then be
in favour of removing the remaining disabilities
under which the Roman Catholics labour ; and the
result will, we trust, be such as the present age
will receive with gratitude, mid future times con-
template with satisfaction. To remove the source
of animosities, and ullay the bitterness of party
feeling, are the great objects of those who, with
us, think that religious principles ought no longer
to be considered a disqualification for civil
offices ; and if those objects be such as ■re uni-
versally recognised as the proper bases of society,
we are con►inced they can be attained by no other
means than erasing every humiliating distinction
between every class of the people. Tire late QUEEN
is reputed to have sanctioned, by her approval, the
sentiments entertained on this subject by the Earl
of LIVERPOOL and Lord Ei.uoti ; but it would be
as presumptuous as vain to inquire how far her
hisausTv's demise might be calculated to influ-
ence the fate of the Roman Catholics.

Our letter from Dover, dated 19th November,
(Thursda)) says, " 'fweisty-three vessels arrived iii
the counsr of last night from Calais, and have
landed about 500 nieu and 400 horses, chiefly of
the 7th sod I ith regiment► of Light Dragoona.—
The nisijor halt of the vessels have sailed again this
afteriwou for Calais."

It is stated in u Paris Paper, that the Emperor
ALEXANDER has been beset with an immense crowd
of petitions, coming from even• country in Europe.
This number is estimated at 8,000. All these peti-
tions are examined either by Prlllee
or MM. CAPO-DISTRIA. or Da NESSELIWEE„ and
reports nisde to the. EMPEROR.
The Count Da I:Azimut has been nominated
Covet nor of Cadiz and Andalusia. Besides which,
he is said to retain the command of what has so long
been termed the expeditious against South America.
A cluel-rcesevre of RUBEN, has been recently
purchased of a German picture-dealer at Aix-la-
Chapelle. by MI Elighsliatiam of distinction, at the
enormous price of 4,000 guineas.

rienced the sympathy of the whole country, pre-
vious to his leasing England on a visit to his mother

The copy in Mosaic of LEONARDO PA VINCI'S
Lord's Supper, begun by order of Bort APAarm.
and finished under the auspices of the Emperor
of AUSTRIA, has been sent to Vienna all a preselit
from the Lombardo-Venetian kisivi.int to the EM-
PRESS. It was found tireriemry to divide this c0t0...
sal work into several parts, to be distributed in an.
rious carriages. Eighty horses were etuplo)rd tM
its conveyance.

The circumstance's of the lamented death of Mr.
A !derma': GOODBEIIERE were not correctly slated.
It was in the moriiing, just after breakfa►t. that he
fell down. A female servant heard hint fall, and
seeing him gasping for breath, ran for Mr. thin,
the surgeon, who immediately attended. The
worthy Alderman so far recovered that he was able
to walk up stairs to his bedroom, where he wa• cup-
ped. An express was sent to inform Mir. Goon-
NEHRRE and their son, at Brighton, of the ►every
stroke, ■nd also to bring up Dr. BANKNEAD,
had long attended the family. In the wean time
Dr. MATON was called in, and every thing that skill
or attention could do was tried, but a second attack
of apoplexy was fatal, and he died about half past
three o'clock in the afternoon. Dr. BARIUM!) St-
rived at the house in the evening, and immediately
returned to Brighton, to announce the atll,eting
event to the disconsolate family.
It is stated in a private letter from Paris, that on
the 19th October the four Allied Courts uttine to fl
formal resolution to niaintaiie the Qaudniple Alli-
ance, signed on the iOth of Nusewber, 1815; lire
objects of whirls were to provide the means of rtbilii.
nig and repressing that spirit of donsittaiinit, which
had been so obstinately displayed by France, under
BONAPARTE'S Government, and which, it war
judged possible, might still be found to exist
certain classes of people in that country. The
French Cabinet has been invited to recognise titr
objects proposed by the above Treaty, its so far
they are identified with the constitutional existria
of the Royal Government, and with the
mauur-
uauce of general tranquillity throughout Europe.
