DREADFUL EVENT.

DEATH OF THE PRINCESS

LONDON GAZETTE EIiCTRAORDINARY.

Her Royal. HIS Hl4 ESS the PR 7. NCESS CHARLOTTE

AVGUSTA, daughter of his ROYAL HEGEINESS the

'SINCE: 'leoEtcr, and Consort of his Serene

lighness the PRINCE LEOPOLD Of SAXE COBURG,

was delivered of a STILL-SOEN MALE CHILD, at

Nine o'€ lock last night, and about half-pas

tier Illustrious CONSORT the PRINCE LEOPOLD,

and of all the Royal Family.

We have thus the inelaucholy task of announe

ng the Death of the PRINCESS CHARLOTTE of Co.

nounG, an event which must spread melancholy

over the Empire et large, and which must excite

«ieep feelings of regret in every-part of the civi

zed World. 113;s truly amiable PRINCEM was

Idivered of a STILL-EORN MALE CHILD at nine

o'clock last night. At ten, a second Bulletin

staNci that her ROYAL HIGHNESS was doing ex

'moldy well, bat at half after two o'clock this

:orning the dreadful event of her departure from

his life took place. Thus gave the ardent hopes,

mid fond expectations of the People, been blasted

n a single moment. It is impossible to contem-

plate this melancholy dis.ppointment of the na-

unit' wishes, without feelings of deep and awefu

sorrow, and no other consolation can be offered

an the consideration that it was the will of at

Being who knows best what will contribute to the

welfare of mankind, and from whose benign nature

nothing but wise and benevolent dispensations are

nbe expected. We most fervently hope that that

benevolent Being will strengthen the minds of

er Illustrious Relatives, and enable them to sus-

din with resignation and fortitude so unexpected

and so fatal a shock. Every humane and loyal sub-

ject will sympathize on this truly distressing oc-

casion, in the grief of the ROYAL FATHER and the

UusBAND. The former has a double weight of

sorrow, as a Parent and a Prince, since he

as thus lost a Daughter Who promised to con-

nue the line of his lllustrious Family, and

o promote the future happiness, glory,

and security of the Realm.

These consi-

eratiuns must fall heavily upon the mind of

e unhappy Father, but the feelings of the Has_

band can hardly be less acute. He bas lost an

amiable, accomplished, and affectionate Consort,

as wt:II as being bitterly. disappointed in the

fond and an%ious expectations of a 'Parent. T

elude the melancholy task, referring to the fee

ngs of the country, which cannot but be mos

powerfully agitated by an event that so ford
bly manifests the vanity of all bttrnan expecta

ions, and the precarious and transitory nature o

all eartldy grandeur.

The following melancholy confirmation of this

most afflicting eveat, was this (limiting posted up

at the 3fatisiou•House :

The following is the Official Bulletin, whie

though announcing the disappointment of the

national wishes, consoled us with the hope tha

the Parent would be preserved, in seine degree to

console us for the loss :

" CLAREMONT, NOVEMBER 5, 1817.

" Quarter past Nine in the ,Eretting.

" At Nine o'Clock this Evening her ROYAL

HIGHNESS the PRINCESS CHARLOTTE was safely

lelivered of a STILL-BORN MALE CHILD, and her

IOYAL HIGHNESS is going on favourably.

" M. BAILLIE,

" RICHARD CROFT.

" JOHN SINIS."

The following is from the Court News-man :

" CL'AREMONT, Thursday Morning, 9 o'Clock.—

The most melancholy and distressing event has

appeneci—the Princess CHARLOTTE is no more

All is dismay and grief. The scene at this time

exceeds all attempt at description. The awfu

event was not known at Esher till 8 o'clock, and

ow there is scarcely an eye free from tears. The

amiable and affectionate Prince LEnroLD is dig-

racted and inconsolable, and the whole of the

Royal Establishment is in a similar state. Her

ROYAL HIGHNESS, after her delivery, had ex-

pressed herself resigned to the child being dead,

most piously observing, that it was the will of God.

She continued remarkably well Irani nine o'clock

(the time of her delivery) till past twelve, pro-
bably a quarter past, when the Medical Gentle-

men, Drs. BAILLIE, CROFT, anti Sims, consi-

'ering that she conld not be doing better under

be circumstances, retired to rest. About. one

her ROYAL HIGHNESS took some gruel, and ex-

pressed herself inclined to sleep ; but on the

gruel being given her, she said she founcl a

difficulty in swallowing it. The lovely PRINCESS

afterwards complained of being very chilly, and

of a pain at her stomach ; the nurse, Mrs. GRIF-

FITHS, considering her ROYAL HIGHNESS'S COM-.

plaints to require the advice of the tnedical Gentle.

called up ; they lost no time in giving their attend-

The new LORD MAYOR, will, of coarse, defer
the Annual Ceremonies and Feast usually attend•
ing the assumption of his Office, from respect and
reverence for the memory of the departed PRIN-
CESS, at least till after her remains are consigned
to the last awful abode of human grandeur, as
the feelings of the people would now be but
ill-
prepared for scenes of civic spew and festivity.

Tire FUNDS.—The melancholy news of the
Death of the PRINCESS CHARLOTTE had the effect
this morning of depressing the Funds. Consols,
which left off yesterday at 831, commenced to-day
at 821, but in half an hour they rallied, and at
eleven o'clock were at 831 for the Account. The
Commissioners for the Redemption of the Na-
tional Debt commenced this day buying 100,0001.
Stock, being the first day of the quarter. They
were served generally by the Jobbers at 83 for
Money, and, from the scarcity of Stock, they
were compelled again to buy Consols instead of '
Reduced.

We received this morning the Paris Papers of
Monday last. The following are extracts :

PBTERSBURCH, OCT. S.—ln t elligence has
been received from General Yemaloff, our Ambas-

greatest distinction since he passed the Persian
frontiers. Besides his general mission; to main-
tain a good understanding between Russia and
Persia, he has also private instructions, embracing
objects relating to commerce and the sciences.—
Several Officers will quit the Legation at Ispahan
to proceed to' the ports of the Princes whose
States are situated between' Persia and the British
possessions in the East Indies. These States
abut more or less towards the North on Russia,

Asia, and it is therefore wished to establish

commercial relations with them.

the Emperor having testified his desire to have at
his Court Ministers from foreign Powers, to reside
there constantly, the Emperor Alexander has,
it is said, determined to send a Minister Plenipo-

relations which increase every year between the _
two Courts; M. de Langsdorff is designated for
this mission, who is at present Russian Consul at
Rio Janeiro, and who has been in China.
