OE CLARENCE.

It is with deep regret we have to announce the
death of the infant Princess. ELIZABETH,. daugh-
ter of the DUke and Duchess.of CLantNcE,which
took place yesterday morning at one o'clock.—
NotwialSiandiug- the premature birth of her Royal
Highness, she continued to enjoy good health, and
gained strength so rapidly, that not only her il-
..litstrious Parents, but also her Physicians and At-
tendants entertained the Most-sanguine hopes that
she would survive. Every posSible care was taken
that she should feel as little as poSsible the effects
of the late weather; yet the very giddy'', changes
during the fast month, evidently affected her very
much. On Thursday night it was observed that
she was a little feverish, and in consequence Sir
11. Raiford and Sir W. Knighton met Sir A.
Halliday in consultation, on Friday morning, and
those eminent Medical Gentlemen were in con-
stant attendance during the whole of that
day arid Saturday. About one o'clock, yester--
day morning, it Was thought right to call the
Physicians, a change having.taken place, when,
.we understand, the Princess was observed .to be
in a convulsion fit, from whieh she did not re-
cover. The dear infant breathed her last about
ten minutes past one. As-the spasm with which
her Royal Highness was most grievously attacked
went off, she appeared as having fallen asleep,
the countenance being so placid. The amiable
and suffering Duchess was called in time to wit-
ness the melancholy last scene. When- she was
informed that there .was no longer any hope, her.
-Royal Highness, in the greatest distress of
parental feelings, fell into the arms of her equally
afflicted Husband, who had not gone to bed, but
remained with the Physicians.. He exclaimed
with fervent piety worthy the most resigned
ChriStian; that" the Lord had given her, and the
Lord, had taken her away ; for ever blessed
be his name l" In these most afflicting
moments . the Royal Duke conducted his
annahle Duchess to her room, where from his
ootiltilfg attentions, after some time, She, same-
'what recovered, and then returned to gaze on her
lifeless lovely babe. Her Royal Highness was
prevailed upon to return to bed at two o'clock,
Where her. Royal Duke remained in unremitting
attention to her till.seven o'clock, when his Royal
Highness retired to rest, but he ,only remained
about two hours.—The folloWing bulletin was is-
lied of the mournful event, for the satisfaction of
The. public. •

In addition to the above; we have had the sa-
tisfaction of learning, that both the Dulie- and
Duchess were as well as, in the distressed state
of their, feelings, could be expected. They re-
ceived affectionate visits of condolence from
the Duke of York, the Duchess of Glouces-
ter, and the Princess Sophia. An express was
sent off at four o'clock yesterday to the King,
at Brighton, with a communication of the
ultianchoty tidings. Sir R. Gardiner, who
las in London, sent off all express to Prince
-i!eq6id and.the Duchess of Kent, at Claremont.
,:Ast night the body of the Princess was opened
:Y. Teter AFGregor,.Esq. Surgeon to the king,
i'v,r.hen it was discovered that the cause of her Royal
4lighness's death was what is called an introsus-
itePtion.; that is, one portion of the bowels had
)ecorne entangled in another portion, a disease
I° Which all yOnn; Children (and even adults)
are subject, and" which, when it has taken place
auy extent, is beyond the power of- human
umans to cure. •
