PRIVATE LETTERS.

CLAREMONT, Thursday, Four o'Clock, P.
Yesterday Dr. Baillie called to pay his respects
to Prince Leopold. Mr. Marsh, of the Lord
Chamberlain's Office, was here last evening, and
remained a considerable time, making arrange-
ments for the funeral of the beloved Princess.—
Prince Leopold continues disconsolate.—The fol-
lowing Bulletin was this day issued respecting his
Serene Highness's health :

gg Claremont, Nov. 13.
" The Prince LEOPOLD has passed a restless night, and is
no better than be was yesterday.
(Signed) " C. STOCKMAN."
The inquirers were very numerous to-clay.—

Lord Grantley and Lady Mawbey were amongs

them.

The Cattle Fair, held at Kingston this day,
would have been postponed, but that it must be
holden according to the Charter. To guard against
riot, however, the Bailiffs, highly to their credit,
issued the following Public Notice on Monday :

" Kiagston-upon-Thames, Nov. 10

" -Notice is herby given, that all persons who shall disturb
the peace, or in any way behave in a riotous or disorderly
manner during the Fair, appointed to be hoiden in this town,
on the 13th of this month, will be proceeded against with the
utmost rigour of the law; and it is hoped, that alf persons
frequenting this Fair, will, by their peaceable and orderly
conduct, shew themselves sensible of the great and irrep ara-
ble luss sustained by this country in the ever-to-be-lament-
ed demise of her Royal Highness the Princess Charlotte."—
(By Order of the Bailiff.)

This Notice had the desired effect. The Cattle
Fair was held in a space considered to be between
four or five times as large as Smithfield Market.
There were upwards of 30,000 sheep, and above
1000 horses. Every thing was conducted with
the greatest order and regularity.

FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.
CLAREMONT, Friday Morning, Nine &Clock.—
The most restless night Prince LEOPOLD has passed
since the irreparable loss of his amiable and lovely
Princess was that of Wednesday, and yesterday
his health was very indifferent his countenance
visibly indicated it. His Serene Highness has
not yet risen.

WINDSOR, Nov. I3.—Yesterday afternoon the
Queen was induced to take a short exercise in
IVindsor Little Park, at the earnest solicitation of
her Physicians, who feared that the health of her
Majesty would be more impaired by abstaining
from taking her accustomed airings. 'lbis morn-
ing the same carriage-drive was repeated in the
most private manner, with only a pair of horses
to the Royal chariot, attended by one footman.—
The Princesses Elizabeth and Augusta accompa-
nied their Royal Mother.

AlthoHgh her Majesty, during her short resi-
dence at Bath, had only the opportunity of drink-
ing the waters twice, it has been ascertained that
they have proved beneficial to her health. Under
this consideration, connected with the melancholy
occasion which has plunged the Royal Family into
the deepest distress, Sir Henry Halford, who for
some time past suggested to the Queen to try
their efficacy, has agai❑ strongly recommended
her Majesty to renew the use of the Bath waters.
We believe the Queen has been prevailed upon to
accede to this medical advice, and consistent with
the period of time which must elapse after the
lamented funeral of the Princess Charlotte, her
Majesty will retire to Bath for the season.
Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester
took an affectionate leave of her Royal Mother
and Sisters at the Castle, this afternoon, and
proceeded to Bagshot, where the Royal Duke
will meet her.

A little before two o'clock, this afternoon, his
Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence arrived,
and paid a vi!it of condolence to her Majesty and
the Princesses.

ANOTHER LETTER, SAME DATE.—This morning
her Majesty and the Princesses took an airing to
Frogmore. The Duke of Clarence arrived at the
Castle to-day from Bushy Park, on a visit to her
Majesty and the Princesses.
On Tuesday the Dean and the following
Canons, viz. Dr. Cookson, Mr. Northey, Dr.
Heath, Mr. Champagne, Dr. Marsham, and Dr.
Goodhall, held a Chapter in St. George's Chapel,
to make arrangements for the Royal Funeral,
which will certainly take place on the evening of
Wednesday, the 19th instant, when it was ordered
that all the absent Members be summoned to at-
tend upon that solemn occasion, and that the
music, &c. he the same as is usually performed at
public funerals in St. Paul's Cathedral and West-
minster Abbey, with the addition of Dr. Blake's
favourite Anthem, from the 16th Psalm—" I have
set God always before me," which was first in-
troduced into the funeral service upon the death
of her Royal Highness the Princess Amelia, at
the express desire of his Majesty, who has fre-
quently had it performed at the Royal Concerts
in Windsor Castle.

To increase the solemnity of the approaching
Royal Funeral, it was finally arranged yesterday
by Mr. FRANCE, the Undertaker, and Mr. MARSH,

of the Lord Chamberlain's Office, that the west
end and aisles of St. George's Chapel be covered
with black baize for the first time ; likewise, that

all the Royal stalls under the organ, left in the
choir, be lined with superfine black cloth, with
the addition of those belonging to the Duke of
GLOUCESTER and the Prince of COEOURG, Mach
are on the Sovereign's side ; and that the Choral
Service be discontinued during the following week.

The application for tickets of ad►nission to St.
George's Chapel upon this solemn occasion are
already very considerable ; and if they could be
purchased, any sum might be obtained. Most of
the respectable lodgings in Windsor and Eton are
let at advanced prices. This morning the service
in St. George's Chapel was performed by the
Rev. Mr. DEANE, Private Tutor to the Hon. Mr.
Curzon, son of Lord Scarsdale, at Eton College,
as a candidate for a Minor Canon's place, vacant
by the death of the Rev. Mr. Roper, and which
will be filled at a Chapter, on Tuesday, the 25th
instant.

FOR THE SUN,

Manchester, Nov. 12, 1817

MR. EDITOR,--4 perceive by. your Paper of
Monday, that many Towns intend to keep the day
of the PRINCESS'S funeral as a day of mourning,
and I have great satisfaction in stating to you
that a public Town's Meeting is called here for
Friday 'next, " for the purpose of preparing a
dutiful, loyal, and affectionate Address of con-
dolence to his Royal Highness the PRINCE
REGENT," on
.the late melancholy Event. At
which Meeting, I hear from good authority, it is
intended to be moved that the day of our lamented
PRINCESS'S funeral shall be observed here as a day
of solemn fast and humiliation, all business to be
utterly suspended, and divine service to be per-
formed in all places of worship of every sect and
persuasion. I send this information to you, well
knowing the interest you generally take in pro-
vincial occurrences.

Qne of the Brussels Papers contains the follow

ing paragraph :
BRUSSELS, Nov. 10,—Mr. Kerr has arrived
here express from England. He has brought to
his Royal Highness the Duke of Kent else afflict-
ing news of the death of her Royal Highness the
Princess Charlotte of England ; Mr. Kerr imme-
diately proceeded to the Hague, to carry to our
Court the news of this deplorable event. When
the afflicting news of the death of the Princess
Charlotte was communicated to the Duke of Kent,
the grief of his Royal Highness was boundless.
The Prince and Princess of Orange likewise are
deeply afflicted at it, and so will doubtless all the
Members of our Royal Family."

The subject of National Mourning is so inte-
resting at the present period, that we are induced
to insert the following Order, which vas issued for

the General Mourning on the death of GEORGE I.
and differs materially from that issued for
GEORGE H.

" London Gazette, Tuesday, 20th June, 1727—(Price two

pence)
" The Lord Marshal's Order for a Genera,
Mourning for his late Majesty King George, o
blessed memory.

" In pursuance of an order of his present Ma-
jesty at Leicester House, the 16th June, 1727,
these are to give publick notice, That it is expected
that all persons upon the present occasion of the
death of his late Majesty, of blessed memory, do put
themselves in the deepest mourning (long cloaks
excepted) ; the said Mourning to begin on Sunday,
the 25th inst. And that as well all Lords as Privy
Councillors and Officers of his Majesty's House-
hold, do cover their coaches, chariots, and chairs,
and clothe their Livery Servants, with black cloth,
by Sunday, the 2d July. And that no person
whatsoever, for the first six months, put any
escutcheons of arms painted on their coaches ;
nor use any varnished or bullion nails to he seen
on their coaches, chariots, or chairs. His Ma-
jesty is pleased to permit his Military Officers to
appear before him in red faced with black.
(Signed) " SUSSEX, M."
" These are to give publick notice, That it is
his Majesty's farther command, that all Lords,
Privy Councillors, and Officers of his Majesty's
Household, who have been ordered to put their
Livery Servants in black cloth, do also make them
wear shoulder-knots or ribauds of the colour of
their liveries.

(Signed)

" SUSSEX, M."

THE THEATRES.

Theatre-Royal, Drury Lane, Nov. 13-, 1817.
SIR-A paragraph having appeared in one of
the Morning Papers, asserting that a Memorial
had been presented to the LORD CHAMBERLAIN,
by the Proprietors of one of the Winter Theatres,
relative to the resumption of its dramatic amuse-
ments, I have to request that you will notice in
your next publication, that no such memorial was
ever presented, or even suggested by the Ma-
nagement of this Theatre ; that the whole
Theatre, from the Committee down to the hum-
blest dependant on the establishment, have
too deeply sympathised in the national loss,
and are too much devoted to the only tribute of
respect they can pay to the memory of the Prin-
cess CHARLOTTE, to express the slightest impa-
tience relative to the resumption of their profes-
sional duties.

I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your most obedient Servant,
HENRY ERSKINE JOHNSTON.

DREADFUL MASSACRE.

This morning we received the following.

tract of a Letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at -

Cape of Good Hope, dated September 15 :--

" Arrived the Blucher, KERR, from Bat3o

and the Mauritius. She brings advice, that II

the Isle of Lupperwarro, near Amboyna, the. r`ir

tines had risen and murdered the Dutch Resi(le'at

and his Family, together with the whole of the

Garrison. A detachment of about 200 men s'verc

sent from Amboyna, which the Natives allele

o land, after which they murdered them aIV

An Expedition was about to sail from that place

under Admiral BUYOKUS."

The Paris Papers of Tuesday last, which Were
:hie this morning, have not come to hand.'

Charleston Papers to the 16th October arrive('

this morning :
[From the Charleston Courier ef October 15.]
FROM ST. Auousrt NE.—By the schooner Alert'
Captain Arrwicx, arrived at this port yesterdeP
we learn, that the expedition lately fitted out
that place, for the reduction of Amelia Island, W'
returned without accomplishing their object/
They admitted a loss of but two men killed. '1
Militia from St. John's, attached to this expeill
tion, were the only part engaged with the Patriot';
upon the Island of Amelia, and are said to lisvej
behaved bravely : those of St. Augustine were
principally on board the Spanish gun-boats. The
Governor of St. Augustine was still busily ell'
gaged in augmenting his means of defence.

There is a paragraph in Tke Ties Newspaper
of this day, referring to the letter from Mr. Jl3lO
FOOT, that appeared in T,E SUN of last night'
which demands our attention. That letter, oit'
understand, has made a considerable impressiO
on the public, as far as it is possible for us to col'
lect the public sentiment so soon after its appear,
ance. The Times says, that Mr. Fool's bate
tl
" proves nothing." The letter was not inteadd,
to prove any thing itself, but was inttnite4l
to bring forth proof from others, upon a subject

of the most lamentable nature, and thst strongly
agitates the national feelings. The Times then
says " how should it, indeed, being written by
a man who was never near the spot." Not I°
dwell on the absurdity of asking " how should f)

etter prove nothing," we may observe that the

letter called on those who were on the spot " 0
explain matters that are doubtful, and about which

the whole Nation feels, we will not say curiosity'
but an anxious desire to know the whole truth, ad
nothing but the truth. The Times presumes I°
say that " we all know that the fate of her Royal

ighness, though most lamentable, has nothing

in it miracalims or extraordinary." How can The
Times venture to make such an assertion ? 11'35

the Writer in The Times ‘c on the spot ?"
FooT, feeling, in cognition with the Public, that 9
mystery hung about the melancholy business, was
anxious to remove the veil. He decidedly declares,
that he is persuaded that nothing will occur
explanation that will lessen the reputation of the
Medical Attendants, but, as a professional man,
he is solicitous to maintain the credit of his pig'',
fession, and to induce those Medical Attendants l(,
come forward and dissipate the doubts of tke igno'
rant and the calumnies of the malignant. Surely this
purpose was laudable in itself, and denotes a proper
respect for the feelings of the people at large.---
But why -did not The Times publish Mr. FooT's
Letter, instead of commenting darkly upon it
its Readers might then- have been able to judge
for themselves.—ls it angry because it hag! not
the opportunity of first presenting to the Public
Letter so expressive of general anxiety to know

the truth ? As to the Letter addressed to Dr. Sir
RICHARD CROFT by Sir B. BLOOMFIELD, by desire
oldie PRINCE REGENT, it only slims the benignant
disposition of the PRINCE REGENT, who, at a tilo'
of the deepest affliction, could for a moment so''
Pend his parental agonies, in order to vinfliot'
