PRIVATE LETTERS.

CLAREMONT, Tuesday, Four o'clock, p, m,—We
are like the inhabitants of a deserted village ;
scarcely a person to be seen in the l'ark but those
of necessity and business ; and those that meet,
their quivering lips continue to tell and lament
over their tale of woe, till their eyes are flooded
with tears. Instead of shaking of hands, and
smiles which beamed on every countenance but a
few days since, the approach and meeting of each
other now is only by the shaking of downcast
heads at d lilting up of hands as symptoms of dis-
may, as if there were nothing of comfort remain-

-1 T
he public feeling towards our grievously af-
flicted Prince Leopold is very great, and the
ineraccus alter his health are not merely ter -
, many so, as their anxiety is evident on their
distressed countenances—his overwhelming and
distressing case comes home to the feelings of
every man. The Princess and Prince were never
happy hut in each other's company, having but
one object iii view; what one wished the other
readily agreed to ; they were of one mincL It is
always observed on a new married pair, that their
1 honey-moon, meaning their lover's joy, is but of
short duration, but is was not so with our be-
loved and ever-to-be-regretted Princess Charlotte
and Prince Leopold ; their honey-moon, as it is
called, has never ceased, but on the contrary, has
increased daily, if possible, since their happy
union, nod since that time they never have been
separated but for a few hours, and that has been
when Prince Leopold was called upon to pay his
respectful duty to his Royal Father the Prince

LJeVeeS, or upon some other

lic occasion.—Their study and conduct was to
make every one comfortable upon their establish-
ment, in which they happily succeeded, every
thing being conducted with the greatest regula-
rity and, good management, by an admirable se-
lection of attendants end domestics to carry their
commands into execution. The following Bulle-
tin was this day issued on the state of Prince
Leopold :

" Claremont, Nov. 11.
"The Prince LEOPoLD had a rery restless niA,,ht, and is
more agitated than hitherto. " C. STOCKMAN."

Prince Estethazy and the Earl of Liverpool ar-
rived to pay a visit of condolence. Both these
distinguished characters were deeply affected. The
Earl of Liverpool came here in a very private
manner, in a four-wheel two-horse chaise, at-
tended only by the driver.

Lord Castiereagh's visit yesterday was short,
in consequence of the deep affliction he evidently
laboured ou►der.

The livery servants and those of the Prin

Regent are to be put in deep mourning.

FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.

Claremont, Wedneallay ifornr7ne, Nine o'Clock

Gcneral WEATHERALL, the Equerry and Aid-
de-Cany to the Duke of KENT, was to leave
Kensington Palace last night or early this morn-
ing, in the Duke of KENT's carriage; to wait the
anival of his Royal' Highness in England, and
bring him to Loudon, in consequence of the much-
lamented death of his beloved Niece.

Mr. BALL, the principal Page to :the Duke of
'CUMBERLAND, was the bearer of the dispatch
from Loudon to the Duke at Worthing, where
Mr. BALL arrived at six o'clock on Thursday
evening, communicating.' the awful and mournful

intelligence of the death of his beloved Niece,
the Princess CHARLOTTE, which overwhelmed the
Royal Duke with grief for some time, and he very
promptly left the place, an hour after receiving
the distressing intelligence, for London.

Several artists have applied for permission to
take a mask likeness of the Princess, but none of
them have been attended to.

The short notice of the General Mourdag ap-
pearing only in the Gazette of Saturday, and the
mourning beginning on Sunday, prevented its be-
ing-so general on Sunday as it is at present.
