Whereas by the late Act of Uniformity, which esta-
blisheth the Liturgy, and enacts, that no form or order
of common prayer be openly used, other than what is
prescribed and appointed to be used in and by the said
Book, it is, notwithstanding, provided that in all those
prayers, litanies, and collects which do anywise relate to
the King, Queen, or Royal Progeny, the names be altered
and changed, from time to time, and fitted to the present
occasion, according to direction of lawful authority. His
Majesty was pleased this day, in Council, to declare his
Royal will and pleasure, that in all the Prayers, Liturgies,
and Collects for the King, instead of the word " George,"
the word " William" be inserted; and that in all the
Prayers, Liturgies, and Collects for the Royal Family, the
words " Our Gracious Queen, Adelaide, and" be inserted
before the words "all the Royal Family."

And his Majesty duth strictly charge and command,
that no edition of the Common Prayer be from hence-
forth printed, but with this amendment ; and that in the
mean time, till copies of such edition may be had, all Par-
sons, Vicars, and Curates, within this realm, do (for the
preventing of mistakes) with the pen, correct and amend
all such prayers in their-Church Books, according to the
aforegoing direction ; and for the better notice hereof,
that this Order be forthwith printed and published, and]
sent to the several parishes; and that the Right Reverend
the Bishops do take care that obedience be paid to the
same accordingly. JAS. BULLER.

(From the Court Circular.)

His late MAJESTY laboured under a complication of
disorders. The pulsation of the heart was impeded ; there
was also an effusion of water under the skin ; there might
also be water in other parts, but the Kato could not be
considered to have the dropsy, as it is generally understood.'
When the cough and expectoration made their appearance;
his MAJESTY got rid of all his other symptoms. The lungs
latterly became affected, and the cough and expectoration
were very weakening. The bursting of the blood-vessel,
during one of his MAJESTY'S violent attacks of coughing
accelerated his death. It became apparent on Friday,
that the period of dissolution might soon be expected, and
that the Kinn, had become so enfeebled, that he was un-
able to contend much longer with the disease : in fact,
when the KING saw the effect of the bursting of
the blood-vessel, he said, " This is a symptom of
approaching death." There was, however, no material
change in the Ktwo's state throughout Friday, but it was
observed that his MA.rEsTY's weakness was increasing gra-
dually. The KING did not suffer pain : indeed his MA-
near expressed himself as feeling quite well, but very
languid, and disposed to sleep. The dropsical symptoms
had entirely disappeared, and the cough and expectoration
might have continued for some time longer, without de.
stroying life; but in one of his MAJKsTY's violent attacks
of cough, a small blood-vessel gave way, and the loss of
blood quickened the exhaustion of his frame. Sir HEN RY
HALFORD bad left the KING at half-past eleven o'clock :
the other medical gentlemen had previously retired. On
the alarm being given, the two physicians and Mr. BRODIE
returned to the apartment. His MAJESTY had occasion
to leave his chair a little before three o'clock, and expired
without pain immediately after his return to it.
After the death of the Kura, Mr. Baonts left the
Palace and returned to town. Sir HENRY HALFORD left
the Palace about six o'clock, and proceeded to the resi-
dence of the Duke of CLARENCE (now his present MA-
rem) at Bushy Park. Sir Hexer announced the me-
lancholy event to his Royal Highness, and was the first
that kissed his MAJESTY'S hand on his accession to the
throne. Sir HENRY afterwards proceeded to the King's
Palace, at Kensington, and communicated the mournful
event to the Duke of Sussex, the Duchess of KENT, and
the Princess SOPHIA, and subsequently to the Royal Fa-
mily in town.
The Duke of WELLINGTON, after receiving the intel-i
ligence,left town for Bushy Park, where his Grace had and
audience of his present MAJESTY. The Duke then re-,
turned to town.

Sir ROUX! PILL, as Secretary of State for the Home
Department, issued summonses to the Cabinet Ministers
to attend a Council at the Foreign Office. The Minis-
ters assembled at half•past ten o'clock. The whole of the
Members of the Cabinet attended, with the exception of
the Duke of WsLLlNurox. The Council at about hall
an hour.

Summonses were issued from the Council-office to the
whole of the Privy Councillors to assemble as soon as pos-
sible at the Xing's Palace, St. James's. Such was
the exertion ends, that about 150 of the Privy Council-
lors were in readiness at the Palace to acknowledge the
new KING. _ _

After the visit of the Duke of WstrartnTot:, his MA-
JESTY left Lis residence at Bushy-park, and came to town
to his Palace at St. James's.

The KING entered the State room, in which the throne
is placed, about one o'clock. His MAJESTY was habited
in an Admiral's uniform, and took his station at the throne,
The whole of the members of the late KxNu's Privy Council
who bad arrived at the Palace were assembled in this
apartment.
His MaJzsTY read a most gracious declaration in which
the KING alluded to his late father and brother in the
most affectionate manner, expressed his determination to
tread in their steps, and hoped that he should govern to
the satisfaction of his people.
While reading this address his MAJxsyr was deeply
affected. The members of the Royal Family, viz. the
Duke of CUMBEItLAND, the Duke of Susslx, the Duke
of Gtouezwrza, and Prince LEOPOLD, knelt before the
Kxxo, and took the oaths of allegiance. Their Royal
Highnesses then rose and were sworn in Members of his
MaJzszv's Privy Council, The Archbishop of CANTER-j
BURY, the Loan CIiAXCILLOR, and the Archbishop of
yogi, went through the same ceremony.-; The other]

Irmembers of his late MAINSTT'S Privy Council severally
Iknelt before the Kixa, took the oaths of allegiance, and
then rose, and were re-sworn Members of the Privy

Council.
The Loan CnarrcELLoa. administered to the
three oaths—the first to govern this kingdom according
to its laws and customs; the Kma then took the oath for
the security of the Church of Scotland, and subscribed two
instruments, which were witnessed by some of the Privy
Councillors. His MAJESTY ordered that one of the in-
struments should be transmitted to the Court of Session,
to be inserted in the Books of the Sederuat, and after-
wards to be lodged in the Public Register of Scotland, and
that the other should remain among the records of the
Council.

His MAJESTY, in Council, then ordered the two stamps,
the one containing " GEORGE R." and the other the
initials " G. R.," which bad been, under authority of an
Act of Parliament, applied to official papers, as the KiN-o's
signature, to be destroyed: they were accordingly broken'
in the presence.
His MAJESTY in Council was pleased to order that the
coinage should continue in the same state until further'
orders.

The Privy Council gave orders for proclaiming his pre-
sent MAJESTY with the usual ceremonies, and at the ac-
customed places King of these Realms, by the style and
title of King WILLIAM the Fourth. The ceremony to
take place this day.

tendance. After the rest of the Privy Councillors had re-
tired, the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Archbishop of CAN-
TERBURY, the Archbishop of Yoar, and the Bishop of
LONDON, remained and altered the prayers in the church
service for King WILLIAM and Queen ADELAIDE : such

CooPIR performed the operation of opening the body, for',
the purpose of ascertaining the cause of his late 31.tizsrir's,'
decease.

The operation occupied two hours, and the result fullyl
justified in every particular the opinion of the late Krmesi
Iphysicians. The heart was considerably enlarged, and ad-
hered to the neighbouring parts; some of the valves were
ossified, and some water remained in the chest. The inn-
(mediate cause of the sudden demise was the rupture of a
vessel near the stomach : this organ contained some ounces
of blood. When the operation was concluded, apices
were introduced into the body, and it was then closed.
Four of the late Kwa's Pages were present, in addition
to the above-named six medical gentlemen,—viz., Messrs.

tended divine service yesterday morning its the private
chapel at the King's Palace, at Kensington. The service
was performed by the Chaplain to the Royal Duchess.
The residences of the Royal Family in town were
thronged yesterday and on Saturday by the nobility and
gentry calling to pay visits of condolence on the death of
the KING.

THE LAST MOMENTS OF HIS LATE MAJESTY
GEORGE THE FOURTH.
WINDSOR, /SUNDAY ZVENING.

His Majesty, as I informed you in my note of Friday
erening, was, throughout that day, becoming hourly more
and more exhausted by his cough, and of course his abi•
lity to throw off the cause of that cough, by expectoration,
was hourly diminishing. In the course of the evening,
before nine o'clock, the physicians intimated to their Royal
Patient their inability to give him further relief, and their
opinion that hie last moment. were rapidly approaching.
To this communication his Majesty replied, " God's will
be done !" and in a few moments after, he asked, " Where
is Chichester?" The Bishop of Chichester was instantly
summoned to the Royal Chamber, and at his hands the'
dying Sovereign received the sacrament. During the ad-
ministration of this rite his Majesty was much less troubled
by the cough than be had been previously, and afterwards
it gradually subsided, and towards midnight he sunk into
a state of apparently quiet repose, which continued until
about three o'clock, when he became rather restless, and
feebly expressed a wish to have his bead placed in a more
elevated position. Previous to this, all the attendants had
retired except Sir M. Tierney and Sir W. Waller ; and they
instantly attempted to afford his Majesty the relief he had
requested ; but they had scarcely commenced the attempt
when his Majesty suddenly motioned them to desist, and,
placing both hands upon his breast, be ejaculated " Oh !
this is not right !—this is death !—Oh, God !--1 am
dying I"—These ware the last, and the only distinct words
he uttered after having received the Holy Sacrament ;
and from this time his dissolution came on so quietly and
so gradually that the physicians had some difficulty in ascer-
taining precisely at what moment he ceased to exist. In
the mean time the Bishop of Chichester, and all the prin-
cipal members of the Royal household, with the pages in im-
mediate attendance, were called in, and, in their presence,
without the slightest indication of suffering, his Majesty
calmly expired. The principal persons present were the
Bishop of Chichester, the physicians, the Marquis Conyng-
ham, Sir Andrew Barnard, Sir William Keppel, Sir
William Knighton, Sir Wathen Waller, Lord Strathaven,
and Colonel Thornton; and when the physicians an-
nounced that his Majesty had ceased to exist they retired

—leaving the pages in attendance to perform the necessary
attentions to the Royal corpse, under the superintend !nee
of the physicians.
The body was removed from the bed to the couch on
which his Majesty usually reposed throughout his illness,
and covered with a fine linen sheet—turned down so as
to expose a part of the bust ; and in this state it was sub-
mitted to the view, not only of the whole of the domestics
of the Royal Household, but to the out-door servants of
i
the stables, their families, and acquaintance, and the
Royal tradesmen resident here. They were freely ad.
tnitted from about five o'clock in the morning until after
eight, by which time several hundreds of persons had
availed themselves of the opportunity of not only seeing
their deceased Sovereign, but of taking him by the hand ;
and, according to the concurrent account of many of them,
that hand was warm and pliant three hours after death.
It is said this exhibition of the Royal remains was strictly
in accordance with a wish expressed by his late Majesty on
the evening preceding his dissolution.
Immediately after the decease of the King, the servants
of the Conyngham family were sent off to the seat of Mr.
Denison (the brother of the Marchioness), near Dorking,
in Surrey ; and the ladies of that family, between eleven
and twelve o'clock in the forenoon, followed iu the same
direction—leaving the Castle by the private entrance, and
going round by the long walk and so away into the great
road through Bisbopsgate.
Frequent meetings have been held of late at Holland
House, attended by the Marquis of Lansdowne, Earl
Grey, Lord King, and the party, for the purpose of or-
ganising a plan of operations, from an espected demise
of the Crown. The family connection that subsists be-
tween the Heir-Presumptive and the Noble Baron at
whose mansion these assemblies have taken place may
warrant the conjecture that, in the event of the Duke of
Clarence succeeding to the throne, a new Administration
world be formed, composed of the leading members of
the Whigs. The Marquis of Lansdowne has been spoken
of as Premier, Earl Grey as Home Secretary, Lord Hol-
land as Foreign, and Lord King for the Colonies. Lords
Aberdeen and Ellenborough are to be dismissed altogether,
as are also Lord Melville and Sir George Cockburn. Sir
Edward Codrington is to be placed at the head of the
Admiralty, and the Military in general are to be super-
seded, and r -.ls---kced in their posts of honour by heroes
from the Navy. The Duke of Wellington and Sir
Robert Peel may remain, if they are so disposed, in
which case an alteration in the arrangement that has been
talked of must necessarily be made. It was by the advice
of the Kensington junta that Prince Leopold relinquished
the sovereignty of Greece, who is to be created an En
glish Duke, in order to take his seat in the Imperial Par-
liament. His Royal Highness of Cumberland is to have
Hanover or the Horse Guards; and it is likewise said that
their Royal Highnesses of Sussex and Gloucester will
form component parts of the new Ministry, with suitable
stations in the State. Such is the report of the day.
