FURTHER PARTICULARS RESPECTING HER LATE
ROYAL HIGHNESS THE PRINCESS CHARLOTTE.

The Labour began early on Tuesday morning-,

when Sir R. CROFT elispatcheti Expresses to the

Medical Attendants. At the same time, Ex-

presses were sent to the Cabinet Ministers.—The
Labour, it seems, was very slow in progress

throughout that day.—On Tuesday, at midnight,

or soon after, a Messenger arrived at Carl-

top House with the intelligence that her
. loyal Highness was under the influence of

labour pains, and accompanied by a Bulletin,
stating that every thing was proceeding, though

stow, in the most satisfactory manner : this

Ettlletin was immediately dispatched to the PRINCE

R EGSNT, who, on the receipt of it, set out for

town, and arrived at Carlton House at half-past

three o'clock this morning. On his Royal

Highness's arrival I,e received a Bulletin, announc-

ink; that the Child was Still-born ; but with the

consoling intelligence that her Royal Highness was
going on remarkably well. His Royal Highness
immediately dispatched one of his Gentlemen to

Claremont, to ascertain further particulars of the

progress of her Royal Highness, and to announce
his Royal Highness's intention of proceeding to
elermont with out delay. The Officer had just

refl. Carlton-house when Earl BATHURST arrived

with the heart-rending intelligence of the cala-

Riity which the Country cannot cease to deplore.
His Royal Highness the Duke of YORK, ac-
companied by Earl BATHURST, were, we under-

Wand, immediately dispatched in one of the

Prince Regent's carriages, to offer, in It's Royal

Highness's name, an asylum. in Carlton-house to

Prince LEoPorm, that he might be removed from
the afflicting scene by which he is surrounded at

Claremont, and apartments are preparing for the
reception of his Serene Highness.

The following additional particulars, respecting

the event that must spread consternation and
sorrow over the Empire, may be copfidently relied
on :

The ROYAL INFANT was alive 'till within a very
few minutes before the Delivery, and is one of
the finest- children ever seen.

The PRINCESS bore the account of the frustra-
tion of her hopes of a living Offspring with asto-.
tishing fortitude.

The Cabinet Ministers had such full reason to

believe that all Was safe frith respect to the PRIN..

c-us, that they departed from Claremont soon

Between one and two her Royal Highness was

seized with alarming depression, and so obvious

art. exhaustion of strength,. that the Physicians

immediately sent a Dispatch to Earl BATHURST,

at Putney ; but just as his Lordship was prepar-
ing to depart for Claremont, another Dispatch
arrived, announcing the Fatal Event. The Earl
then went instantly to Lord SIDMOUTIT, at Rich-
wont! Park, and both of these Noblemen proceeded
immediately to Town.
When Prince LEOPOLD heard of the delivery,
he instantly exclaimed, " Thank God the Mother
is safe The ParNce REGENT, as soon as he
was Infornied in Suffolk that her Royal Highness
was in labour, immediately departed and travelled
all night. The moment he arrived in town he
dispatched Sir BENJAMIN BLOOMFIELD to Clare-
mont to announce his intention immediately to
follow and when he was on the eve of quitting
town, the melancholy tidings arrived, which at
once put an end to his hopes and happiness.
-TI a Theatres and all places of public entertain-
ment, will of course be shut this, evening, on
account of the melancholy occasion.

THE THEATRE..—A new farce, intitled A Friend
Indeed ! followed the Tragedy of The Gamester
last night at Covent-Garden Theatre, but as our
feelings on the melancholy event, which we have
this day the painful duty of recording, will not
suffer us to enter into any critical notice, and as
we are sure that the curiosity of our Readers
I will be overwhelmed by sympathetic emotions,
we shall- only say that it met wits► some dissen-
tient voices, but was announced forrepetitiou.
