rto her rood.). The non-appearance of the Queen the
Itoyal Chapel this morning was a source of great disap-

DEATH OF THE QUEEN OF THE

NETHERLANDS.

EXTRAORDINARY SUPPLEMENT TO THE NETHERLANDS

STAATS COURANT, THURSDAY, OCT. 12.

THE HAGUE, Ocre 12—It has pleased Divine Provi.
deuce to take to itself her Majesty the Queen, at a quarter
before onoo"clock.thisday. . ,
During the latter part of -her Majesty's resiencc: aCtle.
Loo she suffered from ,a prokressive decay of strength,
which, however, did not hinder her Majesty From-returning
to thi4 pl.tce-on, tho 4th -of: this month ; but' her strength
contiutied to decline, and after-having, eskciafly yesterday-
evening, rapidly grown worse, her Majesty' expired without
pain.

THE HAGUE, OCTOBER 1 3.—Profound and universal is
the sorrow which prevails in this town, and certainly- in
the whole kingdom also, on the death of the Queen of the
Netherlands.

In every company we hear the praises of this excellent
Princess, who was equally distinguished by pure piety and
by all the qualities which adorn a Queen. The praise is
especial:} heard in the narrow dwellings of the poor inha-
bitants, who call to mind, with emotion and gratitude, the
numberless benefits which her Majesty's charitable hand,
though often in secret, dispensed among them. We feel
that we are only the organs of the whole nation, when we
utter the fervent prayer that it may please the Almighty to
alleviate the grief of our revered King, who has lost the
Elithful partner of his life, and that of the .Princes and
Princesses of her family, who are all deprived of a tender
and venerated mother, and that they may abundantly expe-
rience the consolation which religion administers in the
greatest affliction.

Queen Frederica Louisa Wilhelmina was a (laughter of
Frederick William 11., King of Prussia. Her Majesty
was born on the 18th of October, 1774, and married to our
King on the Ist of October, 1791.
We have received information that his Majesty's frigate
Bcllona, on board of which is his Royal Highness Prince
Frederick Henry, had completed its voyage to visit several
of the Dutch colonies, and had arrived on the 4th of June
this year, in the road of Soerabaja.
THE HAGUE, OCT. 12.—Soon after the death of her
Majesty, aides-dc-camp of the King were dispatched to
Berlin and other capitals, to announce the melancholy event
to the relations of the Royal Family. The theatre and
other places of amusement are closed till further orders.
In consequence of the melancholy event which afflicts the
country, it is expected that the opening of the Session of
the States General, on Monday next, will take place with
as little ceremony as possible, by one of the King's Mini-
sters, in his Majesty's name.
