'WRIGHT, foreman of-Messrs. MARst.riand,TATHAv,
and as much larger than that which conveyed the
heroic NELSON to St. Paul's. It was 27 feet in
height. • 'The shape was an oblong square, with the
platform about seven feafrom the gryund,and raised
towards the centre'by Ave steps,upou which the Body
was laid: The dome; of a semi-circularfortn, was,
supported by four pillars, the whole covered with,
the richest black velvet drapery, trimmed \vial
deep black fringe. The- drapery round the Plat-
form neatly touched the ground, so as to entirely
conceal the wheels ; this-was looped up by roses of
black velvet; fastened :by cords and rich, tassels.
The pillars were covered with black velvet drapery,
festooned in the most tasteful style, and looped by.
con', and tassels. The dome was covered with
a quantitypf.the.finest plumes of black ostrich fea-
thers. Near 500 yards of velVet have been used in
the decorations of this superb carriage, which re-
quired no superfluous ornaments. to 'add to, its gran-
deur.c and solemnity, and therefore all additional de-
corations of escutcheons, &c. were omitted ; iand the
died was doubly grand, awful, and solemn.

From the multitude of people who crowded about
,the Palace, a great number of Noblemen and Gen-
tlemen's carriages were not able to fall into the Pro-
cession, and, for the same reason, the carriages which
did join were obliged to take their places .promiscu-
ously, without regard to rank.

The Prdbession was a full hour in passing, from
first 1Q last. When the ProcesSion arrived at the
eastern end of Westminster Abbey, opposite the en-
trance to the House of Commons, the several Noble-
men and. Gentlemen; who were before in 'carriages,
alighted, 'and the body being removed from the
hearse, the whole Procession passed in regular or-
der, on foot, through he small passage between the
Abbey and St. Margaret's • Church, taking a sweep
through the. Sanctuary,' and entering at' the great
western gate, Where 'the Prebend and Clergy of
'Westminster, preceded by the Gentlemen of the.
Choir, attended to receive them.

Ai teri o'clock *the St. Margaret's and St. John's
Volunteers, amounting to 250; entered the Abbey.
They were•stationed on each side the principal Aisle
throtigh which the Procession was to pass, and
others were distributed in different parts of the
Cathedral, with a number of constables. The Dean's
pew' was filled, as wa§ the organ loft ; numbers
were Admitted' into the galleries over the grave.—L-
Amona them was Lady HOLLAND. The Gentlemen
of th;Church had the privilege of admitting 'their
friends into 'the body of the Church. Soon after

THE THEATRE.--MSS who made so
very promising a first appearance on Wednesday, at
Covent Garden Theatre, as Polly, in T&' Beggars'
Opera, resumed that Charaadr last night, and amply
Confirmed our impressions in her favour. She-had
more self-possession, arid sung with greater firm-
ness and fspirit. We_ are'persuaded; as rce before
observed, that she possesses. talents that may render
,her a pleasing and interesting ACtress, 'as well as
a vocal Performer of no inferior character. She re-
, ceived loud and reiterated plaudits froM a very nu-
, merous audience. The After-piece Was Vaiewine
and Orson. 'At the end of the first ACt, a Master
SMALLEY, who had been introduced in the dame
rrt antler the night before, caine forward and sung an
air composed &I-Shim by Mr. PAVY. The
.boy
possesses a fine voice, and this song was very well
calculated to bring forth its powers. The story of
this boy is interesting. He is, an orphan, and was
wholly friendless, obtaining a miserable subsistenceby-
singing in,a public--house. An account of his voice was
communicated to, the Chief Proprißof of Covent-
'Garden Theatre, who, with his CharaCteristic zeal
for merit, sent for him immediately, and findicg
the boy possessed vocal powers, which, with due
cultivation, might enable hith to obtain a com-
fortable subsistence, he has taken the little fugitive
into his-proteCtiOn,. and has placed him 'under the
dire&ion of :Mr.DAVY, from whom his talents will,
of course, derive every profeSsional advantage. ,

-It is somewhat curious that when M. 'DE KNO•
BELSDORF;the Prussian Minister at Paris, compl,ain-
ed of the abuse against his Country which appeared
in the Parisian Journals, he was answered that. it
was not inserted in the Mbniteur, and that, there-
fore, the. French .00`vcriatnent was not responsible
for it, since JournaliSts could not be restrained from
making remarks on political matters; This answer
is the height of mockery and insult from a Oovern7.
ment which holds the. Press in such abjeal slavery
that not an article must appear in it without.'expos-
ing the Writer-ind Printer to death or transpoi-ta-
tion. Nay, we seem the horrible fate •of the u-
fortunate and heroic PALM, the Bookseller, that the
French Despot is not content with the servile con-
dition'of the French Press, but wants to spread his
odiouS controul upon the Press of every other Coun-
try
_ _

. With what detestation and horror will the humane
and loyal people of this Country read an article in a
Foreign Journal, 'which states, that several litn•dral
.Neapolitan 'Prisoners of Warare expected at Antwerp-
to work, with a log at one foot, in the harbour. Yet
the only fault of these men is an attachment to their
lawful Sovereign, and a dutiful resistance of an odious
Usurper. Among these men are some perhaps of edu-
cation, and who, before their Legitimate Government
was overturned, were possessed of considerable pro=.
perty. .Such are the fruits of French fraternity,. and
such may every people expe& who are
,so weak
and so base as to 'give encouragement to French
principles. The degrading slavery .of the French

_
themselves affirds indeed a dteadful u'arning to the
people'of all other States. •
A young 'La.ly of respeßability, who resides at ,
Lambeth, put a period to her existence yesterk:

known. She Was apparently cheerful with her

companions until she absented herself abrubtly
from the 'room, and retired- to a bed=room, where
she seized a razor, with which she committed the

GENERAL DUMO URIC R.

LETTER OF GENERAL DUMOURIZR, WRITTEN RIESE-

QUENT TO THE BATTLE OF AUSTERLITZ, TO A

GERMAN NOBLEMAN.

Troppao, Dec. 20, 1805,
Dear Baron—With a. heart penetrated with sor-'
row for the -piaure which I have before my eyes,
and a head filled with the conversations which tool*
place between us three days 'ago, I pass 'the nights
without sleep—l can find nri- rest—l dire6t- all my
facilities to one single objeet—the deliverance of Eu
rope ; and -t wish the same restlessness for So•
who are still more interested than thyself
in preventing the inevitable catastrophe .Which
pends, if the most extraordinary peace, not only di-
vides their power for the present, but deprives them
in future of all possibility of amain forming slich a
whole, such a strong military°tbree as they now
have in their hands, for the purpose of opposing the
stream that has incwased to such prodigious magni-
/

. _ .
A battle, fought against all the rules of prudence
and of art; has been lost. Ithis compelled the Em-
peror of Austria' to intreat the, Russian Emperor to
abandon him to his fate. -The want of provisions\
would likewise have obliged the Russians to leave
for a time the unfortunate theatre of she war. The
Russian troops ate .retreating by forced marches ;
they calculate only the last disaster, the compul-
sory abgudonment of an ally, whom, notwithstand-
•ing all the blood it has cost -them, they are unable
to rescue; the velocity of their retreatniagnities, in
their eves, the invincibility hf the conqueror ; and
When ;lief once get back to their country, they will
- perhaps be in no great haste to return.
The pubiic opinion, whiCh always inclines to the
side of_the strongest, is quite in favour of NAPO-
Lnotir The misfortunes of the ancient andpoWer-
ful House of Austria, the retreat
~of the Russians,
the tardiness of the King of Prussia, seem,' in the
cyos of many, to render Peace absolutely necessary.
A Very small number of persons are Of a different
opiniGn.
Before the defeat at Austerlitz a tolerable Peace
znitlrt haVe been concluded. The armed mediation
of the King of Prussia counterbalanced the great
successes of th-e Enemy, whose too widely extended
position, in consequence of the velocity of his con-
inests, in ruined countries, would alone have been
sutficient to inspire hint with moderation. His Ne-
gotiations 'will extricate him froth the dilernmarin
notwithstanding his apparently brilliant situa-
tion, be is. aatraliy placed.- The viCtories of his ca-
binet are produgive of tnore immediate and-decisive
results than'those of hi; armies..
Jr a certain Power 'Suffers the conqueror to dielate
Pe:gse.,,. she Wirl rarretider toihn all the resources of
the House of Austria.
In the hands "of such an &Clive leader, all the xe-
sources of the States which coMposed the House of
Austria will be developed; the energy of the, people
Will be revived as soon as it shall come to-this
point, to fight with a certain other Nation. Then
. will the formidable armies, which
,dissolved like
snow in the sun before the lucky star of NAPOLEON,
again' make their, appearance, and with these newlf-
created Ausirians he will attack another State.
The King of Prussia has indisputably a respeetable
Army, and two faithful Allies, Hesse and Sa::ony ;
because their,thtt is.closely connthed With his. The
Enemy would, however, attempt _to:carry the' war
into his dominions. . .
TO this reasoning it will be obje&ed—lf you con-
sider war With the French as dangerous, why do you
' wish a certain Monarch to abandon his system of
neutrality, and tochange his mediation into an attack,
:which would expose him to the dangers you de-
scribe, while -you, at Abe same' lithe, admit; that
dispirited Austria is no longer capable of. helping
'herself, but lies at the mercy of the Conqueror ?
I aIISWCI, for the very reason thaf Austria deserts
herself, the-march of the Russians should 'be stopped
before they have aCtuiilly. returned to their distant
Country, and they should beled back-to the Theatre
of War before the Austrian States, Italy,, Tyrol,
Saltzburgh, devolve, by to other masters ;
before nuugary and Bohemia receive a' new Con-
stitution ; before Poland is organized according to
certain principles ; in short, before all these inno-
vations are sanctioned by a Peace. At this moment.,
all Europe is armed how much might not be ef-
fected, under the present circumstances,- by a certaiii
Power !

As soon as Peace is signed, there will be no re-

medy.
Let us now examine the respetlive
,positions Of
the several Powers. On the one hand, NAeoLEoN
is Master of Italy, Tyrol,. Austria, Vienna, all
Moravia, and more than half of Bohemia. Hun-
gary is neutralized.
.The Revenues of all these Pro-
vinces furnish • him with Subsidies ; the imperial
Magazines supply him'ammunition, arms, clothes,
But his military position is nOt perfealy
la-
vourabie. •
The 'Austrian Eniperorl has'no longer any States 5,,
but has still an army, namely, the undiminished
army of the Archduke CiIiALLES, amounting to more
than 80,000 men-. It is. not yet dispirited, because
it has alwdys repulsed the enemy.
The two eorps in Bohemia and Moravia amount to
40,000 men, and are daily increasing-. The reserve

in Poland comprehends 30,000. Had the ncgotiations
for peace been soon broken off, the first appearance of
the Archduke CEttaiLEs in Hungary would have in-
stantly put an end to the neutrality 'of that nation,
which would have presently bqen in a state of insur-,
reaion. 'Thus it is possible to calculate on more than
200,000 Austrian soldiers, more than half of which
are excellent troops, who might be .armed, concen-
trated, and employed in-the re-conquest of Vienna:
The Emperor of Russia
..has no intention of de-
serting.th
Coalition. He is not more desirous of
Any thing than to return: His Army is not yet so
far distant, and before it reaches the: interior, it
may retain, refreshed by rep,,..!, .and joined by
reinforcements, stronger and its higher spirits than
ever. • -

Besidest -an unditninished Corps of 40,000 men,
under ,Gen: BENICIGSEN; iii "the King. of Prussia's

Dominions, has bad no share in the' t-nisfortunes of
Great Army, and is not affe6ted by the stipula-
tions of the truce Till the rupture of the Nego-
,tiatics, it must remain in the• Prussian Dominions;

emia any

and then it ma'Onain march into
rav‘ia, to cover Olmutz and Prague.
• ShotAlq, the Etnperor• ALExAraiBR afterWarsis re-
turn with his army, .the united force of both Empe-
rors might then be estimated at 300,000 men,which
are more than sufficient to as t on the otiensive.

Mere marches, an.d the skilful occupation Of posi-
tion 3 by another party,,' Might be of great import-
ance. For example—t will just mention the occu-
pation of the celebrated positidn of the Schellen-
_be;g, near Donauwerth, by the .army assembled on.
the frontiers of Franconia; while the army in Sile-
htanding in connexion with ,tho Upper Palati-
nate, should mask., or 'occupy, Ingolstadt, and a de-
tached corps from the right wing of the Austro-
•RusSinn-armv should mask; or occupy, Passau.
I am not here takin'g into the account the great
diversion of the Allied Army in Lower Saxony, on
the Rhine, in the Send) of Italy ; nor of the diver-
sion in Spain,- which I long ago proposed—which
I still recommend, and wish to be adopted.
It is time, Mv dear friend, to conclude this letter,
and to' shut up .my magazine of ideas. Unfortu-
nately I am oply a private individual, and far from
expecting thaemy advice Will be followed—l have
no-asYlum in the country for which I have sacrificed
my repose, which Lcanie to defend, and for which
I undertook a voyage in my 166th-j
--ear, and in the'
most dangerous season. I -trust conceal myself,
wandering from mountain to mountain, under an
assumed name, till I find a Prince _who (I may say
so without arrogance), on account of the interest
with. which I am capable of inspiring him, will affOrd
me public prote&ion and acknowledgment. •
Adieu, dear Baron—acquaint me, in my solitude;
with every interesting event- that occurs. I ern-
braCe you.
