Coronation medal, conveyed to him by Lord
S►nMouTll, a few days since, to Malvern Wells,
where he has been for some time past, on ac-

The Duke DE GRAMMONT was allowed 1,800
Napoleons by the King of FRANCE to defray the
expences of the Grand Coronation Fete lately
given in London by his Grace. The jealousy of
the Parisians, we learn, has been excited by the
circumstance of its being designated as the joint
fete of the Duke and Viscountess OSSULSTON, his
sister.

DAILY EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS

August 9.

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
The news of her Majesty's decease must reach
her Royal Husband before his entratice into the
Sister Kingdom. We can have no doubt that
the good sense and feeling of his Majesty will
suggest to him the .propriety of renouncing, for
the present, his intended visit. His Majesty
knows too well the course which duty prescribes,
to think of presenting himself tv the gratulations
of any part of his subjects on an occasion, when
they would be so very discordant with what is
required by the usages of society. We do not
now wish to intrtide on his Majesty's feelings, and
we can make allowance for the motives by which
he May have been actuated. It -is the base herd
of sycophants who, without having any cause to'
dislike, her Majesty, real or imaginary, have en-
deavoured to inflame the animosity of her royal
husband by every artifice that baseness and ma-
lignity could devise, that deserve and will
obtain the lasting contompt of the better part of
their countrymen.—The death of her Majesty
Will produce a considerable change in the situa-
tion at the Bar of Messrs. Brougham and Den-
man, her Attorney and Solicitor-General. A
sense of equity 'will, however; *e should think,
induce those who haVe the 'power to confer on
them professional honours, which may prevent
them from being thrown back to their former po-
•sition, and thereby suffering in their practice.

[BRITISH PRESS.]
The dissolution of her Majesty was preceded
bv an illness so extremely short, that in the view
of the greater number of persons it bore the
awful aspect of a sudden death, but the sufferings
were at the same time so singularly severe, that
to the illustrious patient herself the event was by
no means unexpected. Indeed it would seem
that even in those flattering moments of the dis-
ease, when the skill of the physicians was de-
ceived into a hope that danger was no longer to
be apprehended, the Royal Sufferer herself was
never diverted fur an instant from the fixed and
resigned anticipation of the most fatal conse-
quences, and whenever her faithful friends and
attendants would congratulate her or them-
selves upon some occasional improvements in
the appearance and character of the malady,'
her Majesty would uniformly check the ex-
pression of their hopes by a firm but gentle
declaration of her own conviction that she
could not survive the attack. To those who
were acquainted with the unyielding energy that
distinguished the Queen's character, it will
scarcely seem necessary to say that her Majesty
endured her sufferings with a constancy and a
-patience worthy of her illustrious descent. She
frequently during the course of her illness spoke
of the cruel persecutions of which, since her first
arrival in this country, she has been made the
object and the victim, but she spoke of them with
such feelings as might become a Christian, con-
scious of the awful change which was about to
be effected, and repeatedly, even to the last mo-
ments of her existence, expressed a forgiveness of
her enemies.

1 _ ENEW TIMES.]
" If any evil-disposed individuals, to serve
their own selfish interests, or to gratify their
own malignant passions, should attempt to plant
the .banner of dhcord over the grave of the
Qaeen, let us, with one voice, reprobate the un-
Worthy artifice ; and, treadinff lightly over the ashes
of.the Deceased, let us stand firm and united in
the common cause of our King and Country."
Such was our expressed wish on Monday morn-
ing, whet) an
.attentive consideration of her Majes-
ty's, case led us to anticipate the fatal termina-
tion•which, a few hours afterwards, ensued. The
unworthy attempt to perpetuate discord has since
keen made, but it.shall not induce us to swerve
a hair's breadth from our purpose. The same
wicked and heartless. Journal which insulted the
memory of . Queen Charlotte before her corpse
was yet cold, has sounded the trumpet of de-
fiance to loyalty over the dead body of Queen
.Caroline. Which of the two paragraphs was the
most diabolicalwe will not pretend to deter-
mine. Both proceeded, front one.and the same
odious spirit, and both-have excited, in every
honourable 'mind, the 'same feelings of' disgust
and abhorrence. This is notice enough to take
of a reptile. Let us now turn to the hopes and
prospects of union th4t are before us ; and, as a
first step towards that union, let us agree to
speak of the deceased with respect—to think of
her With pity—to remember that she stands at
the- Bar. where :the best' of us may tremble to
appear, and where no angry discussions among
her surviving fellow, mortals can in the slightest,
degree affect a., decision which must be just,
hut which,
,we humbly hope, will be mercifnl!---
in these sentiments' we sincerely join with the
most. sordial.:friends' of the late Queen, and it
shall certainly not be '-our fault, if we are ever
compelled again to; advert to occurrences, re-
specting which we 'differ widely from them in
opinion—Occurrences •of which we deprecated
the publicity,- before it took place, and lamented
it afterwards. Her Majesty, it is said, has ex-
pressed a wish to be 'interred in her native coun-
try. We trust that that wish will be held sacred.
It is natural in itself, and it may remove the last
possible'sOurce of disSenSion respecting her : for
whatever obsequies might be performed here, the
rites would to some appear maimed and imper-
fect, whilst by OtherS they would be thought un-
called for and superfluous.

[MORNING POST.]
It is: probable that some of the individuals who
were in attendance on the last Moments of her
late Mpjesty, will draw up a regular and scien-.
tific account of the whole; but it is not likely
that it will make its appearance until after sur-
gical investigation shall have ascertained• the
exact nature of a disease, which in a few days
baffied the utmost exertions of professional skill,
and levelled a royal head with-:the dust. In-
teresting, however as this report may- be, it will

"bat give a portraiture of bodily suffering and of
its causes. Who shall attempt to paint the secret
emotions of a departing spirit! Who can tell
what views it took of futurity, what glance it
threw over the past ! For us the volume is Closed :
it is only read by. that Intelligence for whom
night has no darkness, and death no cover-
ing. t vett if we could pretend to unfold its pages,
charity to the deild would forbid it. For who
that is conscious of human fallibility would
draw the frailties of a fallen being " from their
L dread abode ?" But charity to the dead must
' not induce us to overtook the audacity and in-
famy of the living. It must not prevent us
from expressing our abhorrence of those who
wish to enlist the grave itself in the cause of
disloyalty and sedition. It must not silence us,
when we hear the main agents of tire impostors
by whom the Royal victim was misled, be-
trayed, and destroyed, tell those by whom her
seduction and betrayal were opposed, that they
were her enemies, and that their" day of account
draws near."—But in vain do they provoke re-
taliation—in vain do they attempt to perpetuate
feelings, which every honest man, every patriot,
every Christian seeks to bury for ever with the
ashes of the departed. Their arts shall not suc-j
ceed. They shall not drag us again into the dis-
cussion of the past. They shall not prevent us
from showing mercy to the fallen, and dedicating
all our care to the promotion of peace and good
will throughout the country.

[THE TIMES.
The scraps of intelligence conveyed to us by
the foreign Journals from Turkey continue to be
of a warlike cast ; but their interest is almost
wholly destroyed by the difficulty of conjectur-
ing what share of authenticity belongs to them.
From Trieste it comes in rather a circuitous way,
viz. through a commercial house at Marseilles to
the Journal de Paris, that the " commercial in-
" terests may almost depend on a war between
" the Turks and Russia." By the same oblique
channel it is communicated, that " the Austrian
" Ambassador is personally guarded at Constan-
" tinapfe in the same manner as the Russian Mi-
" nister." We had not before learned from any
credible source that Baron Stroganoff was" person-
ally guarded :" it is possible, therefore, that both
may be equally true. The authority of the
official Gazette of St. Petersburgh is also dragged
into the scale of warlike evidence on this occa-
sion. " information" (says a paper which proz-,
fosses to quote the words of that Russian print)
" has beeti received that the Porte will imme-
" diately close the Dardanelles ;" 'but if true,
that would still leave the question open, whether
such a measure might not be directed more
against the Greeks than any other maritime
power. There are reports from Vienna likewise,
but they pretend to be nothing more, which talk
of the Russian Emperor having quitted St. Peters-
burgh for the army ; and of the Divan having
positively refused the satisfaction called for.
These Vienna paragraphs are of the 25th ult.,
but we should deceive our readers by inferring
from them anything conclusive upon the subject '
of peace or war.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH or HER LATE MAJESTY

Her Majesty was the second daughter and fifth child of the
[ate Charles William Ferdinand, Duke of Brunswick Wolfen-

blade, by the Princess Augusta, daughter of his Royal High

ness the late Frederick Lewis, Prince of Wales, and sister of
our late revered and Most Gracious Sovereign King George
111. The Princess was considered by the Court and the
people of England as a most desirable match for his Royal

Highness the Prince of Wales. The marriage of their Royal
Highnesses, after a short negociation, - took place on the
Bth of April, 1795, in the presence of the Royal Familkand of
the principal Nobility in the kingdom. Nothing could be
more magnificent than the celebration of these nuptials.
But short was the space in which England could congratu-
late herself on the union which promised to be so auspicious.—•
Within a very few months after the Royal Nuptials, domestic
differences arose, but we do not wish to repeat the rumours
of the day. These unhappy differences terminated in a sepa-
ration within three months after the birth of the lamented Prin-
cess Charlotte, which happened on the 7th of January, 1796.
—The Princess of Wales became the inhabitant of a separate
establishment on Blackheath. During her residence here
her Royal Highness for Med an acquaintance • with Sir John
and Lady Douglas, who were her constant associates. After
a lapse of some time her Royal Highness was informed of cir-
cumstances which inffuced her to decline the connection, which
laid the foundation of what is known by the name of the " De-
licate Investigation,7 and the disclosure of occurrences which •
ought never to have escaped the portal of domestic privcy.—
, But though the Princess was cleared of the capital charge then
imputed to her by two successive commissions of the Cabinet
Council, and subsequently by her Sovereign and uncle (with,
however, a severe reprimand from the latter for the proved
levity of her conduct), she was still an exile from Court, her
intercourse with her daughter restricted, and her actions as
clQse_ly_watched as ever. She then adopted the resolution of
going abroad, and accordingly, in the year 1814, the Princess
quitted England, very much against the,advice of herconfiden-
tial friends; Mr. Whitbread and 111 r. Brougham. The cir-
cumstances attending her residence on the Continent are too
voluminous even to admit of a satisfactory analysis, and too re-
cent in the recollection of our readers to require enumeration..
The same observations apply tothe interval from her Majesty's
return to England in August twelvemonth, to the commence-
ment of her malady, which terminated in her dissolution.—Her
Majesty was born on the 17th of May, 1768, and died on the
7th of the present month, at the age of 53 years, 2 months, and
21 days.

RISK OF SENDING WHISKEY TO LONDON.-The
sending of Highland whiskey to London in quan-
tities of a few bottles, has been by no means in-,
frequent of late years, and little risk 'attended
the doing so, where the seizure of the spirits was
the only penalty. But, by a law, passed towards
the end of the Session, in a ldition to forfeiture
of the spirits, the seizing officer may either exact
a penalty of 40s. upon each gallon, or 100/.7 at
his option ; and the forfeiture of the vessel, or,
carriage and horses conveying the spirits, being
also declared by the Act,—the oonveying a sin-
gle bottle of Scotch spirits, of the value of a few
shillings, to England, may be attended' with a
loss of some hundred pounds.'--'-(Edinb.urgh
Courant, Aug. 6.)
