PRIACBSS AMELIA.

• The melancholy event which has so long been ex-
peEted, and even wished for by the sympiithizing
pel)le of this Country, a 4 the case admitted no
hope of recovery, took place yesterday, a little be-
fore three o'clock, at Which hour the death of this
amiable Princess vt as publicly announced at Wind-
sor. A Messenger was inmiedi'iltely afterdiipatched
to London with letters to the Princess of WALES and
other branches of the ROY AL FAMILY.

The Princess AMELIA, who was t he youngest liv-
ing offspring of their MAJESTIES, was bum on the
• 7th of August, 1783. Her frame was originally
delicate, and she was subject to frequent IndiSposi-
Lions, but,they only served td show the excellent
temper of her mind, in the meekness and forittpde
With which she supported them. •
The person of Her Royal Highness was tall, and
well proportioned, but delicate in its struaure. Her
manner was peculiarly mild, graceful; and interest,
ing. Her countenance fully expressed the benignil-
of her disposition, and had a obarader of sofines;
and delicacy, which plainly evinced that the con-
sciousness Of her'b;rtli and elevated rank did not
exalt her-above the condition and feelings of hu-
man nature. As far as the interruptions a sick-
n;:.:s would permit, Her Royal Highness was studi-
ous of the Fine Arts, in which her judgment,. taste,
and skill, were much admired. She was very fond
of Music, and had acquired no ordinary degree of
excellence on the Piano-forte. In performing the
duties of humanity and benevolence, she was inde.
fatigable ; and -the graceful' sympathy. with •which
all her ads'of this nature were performed, was not
less- soothing and gratifying, than the actual tribute
of her kindness.

In all the relations of domestic life it is impos-
sible to dO justice to her charader and contluet. As
a Daughter and a Sister, nothing could exceed her
attention, assiduity- and alfedion. But ' indeed in
this resi)ea it is but a fair tribute to all her Royal
Sisters to acknowledge that they hold forth an ex-
ample of filiA piety and relative affection that
cannot be surpassed.

The disorder which has at length terminated in
depriving her August Family, and an affectionate
people, of this truly arniable.Princess, began to disk
cover alarming symptoms . about two years -ago.
Sea-bathing and moderate exercise on liorSeback
(to the latter of which she was partial), and every
thing that medical knowledge and experience could
prescribe,,were.of course adopted ; but though they
served, to retard the ultimate calamity, 'and afforded
incidental relief, no sanguine hopes of her recovery
were indulged by those who are conversant in the
nature of the, malady, of which the has at length
become the victim.

We find by the last a6l of her filial tenderness.
towards our excellent Sovereign, that it was not in
the power of sickness, severely as it operated on
her, to lessen the amiable temper of her mind, for,
languid as she was at some periods, and tortured by
pain at others, a desire of testifying her atie4tion for
the best of fathers, was one of the strongest feelings
of her mind. We hardly need say, that we allude
to the THE RING recently presented by her to HIS
MAJESTY, and which was formed atter a device
suggested by herself, amidst all her sufferings. The
cffeet of that present upon His MAJESTY'S paternal
heart, after its many severe trials during the whole
progress of her illness, we have all to deplore at this
moment, though we indulge the hope that our be-
loVed Monarch will be soon restored to his people
and that the knowledge of the termination of his
Daughter's sufferings, will tend to the abatement
of his own.

The most alarming symptoms began to appear in
the state of Her Royal Highness about the middle of:
last summer, since which time, with some varia-
tions, they seem to have had a dirt tendency to-
wards that event which has at length put a period to
all her mortal pains and anxieties.

It would be injustice to the memory of this ex-
cellent Princess to ascribe all her patience and
forti-
tudo to the natural frame of her mind, as the habits
of devotion to which she had been trained andied by
parental example, and •the true .principles of religion
which regulated the whole of her,conduot, strength-
ened the amiable and gentle qualities of her disposi-
tion, and made her submit with meek Teiguation to
the divine Will, through the whole of the severe pro-
bation which she was to end re in this life to pre-
pare her fur a better.

YeSterday, at noon, the LORD MAYOR received a
communication from.,lllr. RYDER, Secretary of State
for the Howe Department, informing his Lordship,
that, in consequence of the continuing indisposition
oil* MAJESTY, no new Chief Magistrate of the
City could be submitted for the Royal Approba,
tton, and that in consequence his Lordship would
•be expeded to continue in the discharge of the
duties of that
,high Office until his MAJFSTY'S' plett-
vire could be Mien on the appointment of his suc-
i;CSSQI",
