THE LATE PIUN C ESS LHARLOTTE.

[FU RTHER PARTICULARS.]

lire again resume, the melancholy task of re-
cording further particulars, relative to the death
of the lamented Princess CHARLOTTE.
Her Royal Highness, we are assured, remained
sensible to the moment of her death. Prince Lao-

POLD was by the bed side during her last hours,

endeavouring as mach as possible to disguise from
his suffering Consort the grief and agony he felt at
the unexpecteti turn that had taken place. It i.s
said she, scarcely ever moved her eyes from the
rice of her beloved husband, extending her hand
frequently to meet his—that band which was in
• one short hour to,be-cold',insensible, and lifeless.
• About five minutes before/her death she said to
• the Medical Attendants," Is there' any dan-
ger ?" They replied, that they requested her
Royal Highness to compose herself. She
breathed a gentle sigh, and expired.—And
thus, -in the enjoyment of health and beauty
—at the early age of twenty-two, was snatch4d
away from this world this most accomplished
- PattqcEss. She was neither too tall nor too short,
about the middle size, inclining rather to the en
bon point, but not so much so as to impair the
symmetry of her form. Her complexion was
beautifully fair, her arms delicately rounded,
And her head finely placed. There was a
mingled sweetness and dignity in her look, a
full, intelligent eye ; and when she was en-
gaged in conversation, particularly in familiar
conversation, much liveliness in the expression of
her countenance. To these accomplishments of
prr.on her Royal Highness added the more va-
hnible qualities of the mind and heart. She bad
read much, and with discrimination, particularly
since her marriage. One of her most pleasing oc-
cupations was to accompany her illustrious Consort
in his study of the English language, in which
he was so diligent, that he has been able to read
our best writers upon history and jurisprudence.
She was of religious habits, 'and a strict observer
of the Sabbath, as well as her husband, who re-
gularly read to her after the Church service, one
of our best English sermons. She was a most
affectionate child ; and as a wife, was a model for
her sex. And all this prospect of continuing l,ap•'
piness-.—this promise of blessings to the country
and to themselves, is blighted, and for ever !
But let its not in our grief forget our duty, nor
impiously repine at the visitations of Providence,
which, for its own wise and benevolent purposes,
deals often severe chastisements upon mankind.
The agony of Prince LEOPOLD at this moment
may perhaps be conceived—it cannot be adequate-
ly described. He has ever since appeared like a
Mau bereft of all comfort, and the agony of his
mind will not allow him to take his needful rest.
He purposes to attend the funeral, in person. The
bodies of the Mother and Son will be deposited
together in St. George's vault.

It it were possible to offer consolation to the
Royal Sufferers under their afflicting loss, we
might observe, that one source from which the
August Father and Husband of the beloved Prin-
cess must draw consolation, under the melancholy
deprivation with which Providence has been
pleased to visit them, is a knowledge of the un-
sophisticated love and affection borne towards her
Royal Highness by all descriptions of his Majes-
ty's subjects. The People of England, naturally
and essentially loyal, cherished for this daughter
(if their country a peculiar degree of affection.
she was in a manner iivetted to their hearts, each
one feeling an interest in her Royal Highness as
though she formed a material part of his own
family; and their grief under this melancholy
;lispensation is consequently pure. Never before,
in our recollection, was there such an universal
and geni;ine display of sorrow. It is at once na-
ional and sincere.
The PRINCE REGENT, we hear, continues over-
odielmed with affliction at the loss whicb he and
•lse nation have sustained : with just feelings also
sympathy in the sufferings of others, be yes-
•yrday sent Sir WM. CONGREVE to Claremont to
cypress to Prince LEOPOLD the sentiments of his
affectionate condolence, and to inquire after the
health of his Serene Highness. It is further said,
that liis Royal Highness has, besides the verbal
message, written to Prince LEOPOLD a letter of
the most affecting nature, expressing the deepest
•,ense of the manner in which be had invariably
conducted himself to his daughter, a manner which
had ensured to him the blessings and affection of the
father, and the admiration and respect of the nation.
His Royal Highness, while he has thus conside-
-ately endeavoured to console the affliction of the
oishand, has himself stood in need of sympathiz-
ing attentions. The effect of his grief made it
necessary to take sonic blood from him, after
which his Royal Highness appeared more resigned
sod colas. The Dukes of Voax and COMBER-
n were with his Royal Highness during part

of the day, as were Lords LIVERPOOL and SLD-
MOUTH. The Duke of SUSSEX was hourly ex-'
pected. Many of the Nobility also left their ex-
pressions of condolence.

The QUEEN was apprised of the melancholy ca-
tastrophe on Thursday; and the communication
affected her MAJESTY so much, that, we regret
to hear, she has ever since remained confined to
-tier room, seriously indisposed. The effect Upon
the PRINCESSES and the Duke of CLARENCE was
also most distressing. The Royal Duke received
the dreadful communication while partaking of the
festivities in honour of her MAJESTY in that
,city.
He instantly, in sorrowful silence, rose and left
'the room ; and the Marquis of CAMDEN having,
with feelings of anguiSh that altiost deprived him
of the power of utterance, made known the la-
mentable cause of the retirement of the Royal
Duke, the eompany instantly dispersed, over-
whelmed in grief.

On' the demise of any Member of the Royal
Family (says The lforning'Chronkle) it is the duty
of the Sojeant Surgeon of the KING to embalm
the body. Accordingly Sir TiV,EEARD HOME had
an andience of his Royal Highnesi the PRINCE
REGENT, on Thursday morning, and yesterday be
went to Claremont, accompanied by Sir DAVID

Dtmpas and Mr. BRaNDE, to perform this me-
lancholy task. At the same time, we understand,
that to satisfy the anxious and tortured feelings
of all those who most tenderly loved the PRIN..
CEsS, as well as to justify the Medical Practi-
tioners, it was determined to ascertain the
proximate cause of her sudden demise. We
have no doubt but that in just respect to the univer-
sal feeling of the public, an official, Bulletin will
come forth on the subject. We avoid all repetition
of the many rumours that were circulated yester-
day ; for. disappointment gave rise to many bitter
reports, and no doubt to much misrepresentation.
We cannot, however, 'avoid stating from what we
learn from authority, that, from the moment of her
delivery to that of her lamented death, one or
other of the Physicians watched over the suffer-
ing patient. No instruments were used, and
the infant was perfect and uncommonly fine,
having .the size and appearance of a child ten
days old. Up till midnight the Pe inters was
tranquil and resigned. She conversed with her
soothing and attentive Husband till the medical
men thought fit to, beseech his Serene Highness
to leave her to repose. :Sir Rlttl*RD CiiOFT
alone remained in the chathber, and was by her
side in au instant after the nurse discovered the
shivering fit coming on. All medical skill and aid
were ineffectual, but no reproach can be cast on
the able Physicians.—When Dr. Sims arrived at
Claremont on Wednesday morning, Sir RICHARD
Caorr stated to that most experienced Accoucheur
the nature of the protracted case, and submitted
to him his opinion that it would be prudent to
wait for the progress of natural energy, instead of
the application of art to hasten the delivery. In
this opinion Dr. Sims acquiesced, and the result
justified the propriety of the step, as the delivery,
though delayed, was perfect.
The Court Mourning, it will be seen by the
Order from the LORD CHAMBERLAIN, which we
subjoin, commences to-morrow ; and the Order
of the EARL MARSHAL for a 'General' Mourning
has also been made out (which will be found in
another column). By a recent regulation we
believe no Court Mourning will extend in dura-
tion beyond three months. But who shall fix limits
.to the grief of heart, the internal mourning which
this awfnl visitation has produced—which has
changed the house of joy into the house of sorrow,
and aggravated affliction by the disappointment of
the fondest and most confident expectations ?
Alas ! this internal grief, this pure sorrow, must
not be reckoned by months or years. It must
endure as lung as memory shall hold its seat—as
long as the remembrance of her virtues and.love-
liness shall endure—as torqr,.ris—the ctrasm ‘vhieli
her death has made, continues not filled with
equal worth and goodness—with equal. cause of
joy and gladness to the nation, which. her in-
estimable life aliOnled. •

[PRIVATE LETTERS.]
FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.

" Claremont, Saturday Morning, Nine o'Clock.

" After the embalming of the body of the Prin-
cess CHARLOTTE yesterday afternoon, by the
King's Serjeant-Surgeons, and Mr. Neville, her
Royal Highness's Surgeon, the internal parts were
deposited in an Urn, prepared for that purpose.
" Yesterday afternoon Sir Richard Croft left
here for London, in the greatest affliction,
" Mr. Marsh, of the Lord Chamberlain's ()f-
-ace, has been here to make arrangements for the
Funeral.

" Messrs. ,France and Banting,- of Pall-Mall,
London, the Cabinet-makers to the Queen, and
also the Princess Charlotte and Prince Leopold,
are appointed the Undertakers, and to conduct the
whole arrangements of the mournful occasion."

" Claremont, Friday, Nov. 7, a o'clock, r. M.

" We continue here most grievously afflicted; numbers of
females have been troubled with hysterics and other fits, since
the first intelligence of the death of the lovely Princess. The
disappointment of the infant being still-born was forgotten,
the Princess being pronounced by the eminent Doctors in
attendance to be doing extremely well. Although her Royal
Highness was delivered at 9 o'clock on We,fnesday night,
every thing was kept so remarkably quiet in the house, that
it was nearly ten o'clock before it was generally known. The
cheering prospect continued till about one on Thursday
morning, when the fatal attack on her frame had begun
'that morning was a doleful time for this part of the country.
The workmen of Mr. Northcroft, the bricklayer, of Epsom ;
Mr. Pepper, the stone-mason, of Kingston, and others, were
seen quitting their works in the park, house, Cc. where im-
provements were carrying on, banging down their tools and
their heads, their Royal benefactress and supporter being no
more. Those who viewed them joined in a tribute of com-
miseration. Many a robust man, whom it was supposed ❑o-
thing could make weep, has been seen in a flood of tears.
"The inhabitants of Esher and Kingston chew again to-
day their marked respect to departed worth and excellence
by closing their houses. Many of the shops have not a single
shutter do'sVn, but depend entirely on the light received from
the door. Some of the private houses appear wholy desert-
ed, the inside shutters being kept constantly closed from the
top to the bottom.
" Dr. Baillie left this place about 10 o'clock yesterday
morning.

" Baron Just, the Saxon Minister, came here yesterday af-
ternoon, and remained about an hour and a half.
" Some of the tradesmen and others, employed under the
Lord Chamberlain's Office, arrived here to-day to make the
necessary arranpments for embalming th• body of the
Princess, as is customary with a personage so near the Throne.

" Prince I,eopold bas,had little or no rest, since Monday
night, when the Princess was first taken ill. In fact, his
truly distressed state of mind will scarcely admit of his taking
any. Yet his Serene HighneSs is, under all the circum-
stances, as well as can be expected.
" The opening of the Princess's body for embalming has
just taken place by Sir Ererard Home, Sir David Dundar,
Serjeants-Surgeon to the King, and Mr. Neville of Esher,
Surgeon to the Princess Charlotte and Prince Leopold. Mr.
Brand, of Arlingtori-street, Apothecary to the Kin, was
also present."

HER MAJESTY.

"The paths of Glory lead but to the Grave!"

Yesterday, at two o'clock, his Worship; -the
Mayor, accompanied by the Recorder, the City
Representatives in Parliament, the Rector, the
Aldermen, the Town-Clerk, and Common'-Coun-
cil, proceeded in carriages to the Queen's resi-
dence. On their being ushered into the Royal
presence of her Majesty, the Princess Elizabeth,
and the Duke of Clarence, the following Address
was delivered by Marquis Camden :
