" LORD MAYOR begs to inform the Public,
{bat the Mansion• House and Guildhall will be
closed, and no business will be transacted at ei-
ther place, on Wednesday next, being the day ap-
pointed for the Funeral of her laie Royal High-
ness tie Princess CHARLOTTE of WALES.

" The Lulu) MAYOR does not presume to dic,
tate to his fellow-citizens what line of conduc
they should pursue, as he is persuaded they wil
do what is suitable on that melancholy occasion.
" By order of the LORD MAYOR,
(Signed) " FRANCIS HOBLErt."

It ;s further propo'sed by the LORD MAYOR,
that not only the Great Bell of St. Paul's, but
the bells of all the other Churches throughout

the C►ty, shall continue to toll during -the day
of the Funeral. The' Masters of the ships in

the River, we are assured, would ere this have
hoisted their colours half-mast high, in token of
mourning for the beloved PRINCESS, but that they
considered it right to look to the Tower for their
signal. This signal, it is supposed, Will speedily
be given, when it Will instantly be followed by

every ship in the River.
The inquiries after the PlttNcg REGENT yester

day were numerous ; and his Roy'al Highness re.
ceived i,its from the Duke of Yo c., from Earl
I3ATHURST, and Count MUNSTER. His Roya

lighness continites in the same state : indeed, the

shock has been so great, that it is his intention to

retire to Brighton as soon as possible, where his
Royal. Highness can live ip more seclusion, and
have his sorrokvs less broken in upon than in
London. The Duchess of GLOUCESTER goes. to
the Pavilion on Monday, to make preparations for
the coining of her Rny,il brother.

The QUEEN and PRINCESSES, 'it Windsor, con

inue in the deepest distress. Iler MAJESTY'S
eaith geems to have suffered from the shock.

the lifeless form of his dear and only child anti
the agony of his feelings seemed to threaten dan

gerous consequences.

The Court of Directors of the East India Com-
pany have a►iiourned the next Court, which was
to have taken place on Wednesday next, the day
fixed for the funeral of her late Royal Highness
the Prince CHARLOTTE, to the day following,' as
a mark of feeling and respect on the melancholy
occasion.

It is said, and every feeling mind will anticipate
it, that his Serene Highness Prince LEoroLp
carries about him all the marks of bodily indis-
position and mental anguish. The last bulletin
gives the same account of him las the one imme-
diately preceding, •with the exception that be has
at last been wearied into some trifling sletp.—
The Nobility continue their inquiries and their vi-
sits of condolence.

CLAREMONT, Friday, Four o'Clock, p. m.—The
following is the Report of the Prince's health to-
:lay :

" His Serene Highness had some sleep in the night, and
remains in the same state of health to-day as yesterday."
It will be seen the.above is the most favourable
report of Prince Leopold's health that has been
issued since his deplorable loss. The Earls of
Mulgrave and Lauderdale arrived to-day to pay
visits .of condolence. The Noble Earls remained
almost an hour and a half.

Mr. Wellesley Pole arrived about three o'clock,
for the same purpose. The Right Hun. Gentle-
Ludo remained but a short time.
The iriquirers to-day have not been so nu-
merous as yesterday, owing to the incessant rain
which has fallen. Sir Arthur Legge was among
them.

Prince LEOPOLD'S indisposed and afflicted state
has not prevented him from taking the air during

the week, except yesterday, when it did not cease
raining till evening. His Serene Highness walks
in the most retired parts of the park and pleasure
grounds. He has been accompanied by the Rev.
Dr. SHORT, who is..his constant companion in af-
fliction, to soothe his sorrows, which I's an arduous
task, as the Doctor has need of a comforter him-
self,. having been the Sub-Preceptor of the
