SOLEM QUIS DICERE FALSUM A UDEAT

LONDON,
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST s, 1821.

THE QUEEN has at length paid the great debt
of Mortality, and it must be consolatory to
every humane heart to know that her bodily suf-
ferings were not severe. Whatever were her
errors, and errors are inseparable from human
nature, in all ranks and conditions, they should
now be treated with that lenity which luntl°
frailty has reason to hope it will experience from
the Power that penetrates into all our motives/
and will assuredly blend mercy with justice. It
is now time to put an end to all controversies
respecting her character and conduct. Her MI"
vocates should pay the tribute of respect to her
memory without recurring to topics intended to
provoke those who entertain opposite opinions,
If those who believe that the charges against
her were well founded were really actuated hp
moral principles, they will not be irritated by
any reflections which may be thrown on them by
her friends and admirers. All party feelings
should be buried with her in the grave. More
allowance should be made for those who are
placed in such situations as afford them all huts°
enjoyments, than for people in the ordinal
ranks of life. They have all the means Of
luxury at command ; the indulgence of their
passions meets with little if any opposition,
they are courted and flattered by artifice and
interest, and the Sycophants of Power gratify'
their own pride by administering fo the pride °r
those to whom they pay the homage of servility
If we may presume to advert to our own conduct
during the lamentable discussions which unsettled
the minds of the People, and disturbed the Cotll3'
try at large, we may fairly say that we forbore
to express our sentiments and feelings upon
the melancholy subject, and left all to
the wisdom of the Legislature and the jutir
ment of mankind. But an awful terminaol
has at length taken place, and none but thefeccs:
illiberal natures will attempt to revive a 014
so distressing. Our Readers will find in our
other columns all the particulars attending o

latter moments of her MAJESTY, which the seve-
ral Morning Papers and our own private re-
sources could supply, on a subject that can°t
but excite an interest beyond the mere irniullse
of vulgar curiosity. We doubt not that the Re'
mains of her MAJESTY will receive the full b°'
nours suitable to her elevated rank, and that alt
humane and virtuous minds will join with us in

saying on this solemn occasion—
REQUIESCAT IN PACE!

[FROM A CORRESPONDENT.I
In about an hour after the death of her Mr'
JESTY the servants were admitted to see her/ the
body having been laid out, and a white cover;fig
placed over it to the neck. The alteration in her
features was so great, that several of them cowl"scarcely believe it was their late
ss
Longer, the Black, whom her Majesty brole
from the Brazils (an orphan), is inconsoillh
and refuses to take food. The inhabitants Of
Hammersmith would scarcely, credit the bite
ligence of the Queen's death, till official notice
was given to the Rector of Hammersmith chare],
and the bell began to toll. It tolled from tW°
'to three in the morning, and again from eight to
nine. Young Austin is overwhelmed with grieff'
and indeed every member of the family. Pr'
Lushington and Mr. Wylde were with her Naj.es.tY

tip
she expired.' She was sensible till the last, and
gave directions as to her interment, being con-
scious that she could not survive many hours._
she expressed a decided wish for her remains to be
e"voyed to Germany, and to be •interred in
the same vault with her gallant father and
brother's bones. Dr. Lushington wrote to the
Earl of Liverpool this morning, about eleven
o'clock, from Cambridge House, respecting the
necessity of some arrangement taking place rela-
I've to the disposition of her Majesty's remains.
The Noble Earl transmitted a letter on the re-
4ipt of Dr. Lushington's communication, and in-
ited him and Mr. Wylde to Fife-house, to which
place they set out at half-past o'clock. At
Fr o'clock a messenger was sent to Messrs(
ance and Banting, the King's Upholsterers, of
i, 411111a11,t0 attend atCambridge-house for the par-
c'seof receiving orders for the coffin of her Majesty,
411(1 the funeral paraphernalia. At 20 minutes
past one, a gentleman arrived from France and
fl'anting's, and waited the return of Dr. Lushington
:.°4l Lord Liverpool's. Alderman Wood and
ilieronimus, her Majesty's Steward, both left
4lnmersmitlt for town this morning, about 11
°'
stock, and having given directions to the diffe
h,-
te
"‘ tradesmen, they returned again at 1 o'clock.
The
r Surgeon and two of her Majesty's Physicians
;tuned this morning to Brandenburgh House,
the purpc-.ie of being present during the
,Pening of her Majesty's body, and preparing it
.or •
Its being placed in the coffin. It has been
Pr°P°sed that her Majegty's body should lie in
state •
, but it is not yet positively determined.—
, e understand that a report of her Majesty's
Pill:rder
will be made in a day or two by the
Ysicions, and the appearance of the body, on
being opened.

[FROM ANOTHER CORRESPOSDENT.]
thlhe metropolis this day presented an appear-
-11;ce unusually gloomy, what with the tolling of

zriTure appearance of those houses where
4cles of mourning are sold, with the ge-
tiarasse:PPearance of regret manifested by all
to The Church Bells of the metropolis tolled one

Marseilles has received from his correspondent
at Trieste, a printed bulletin, by which the Go-
vernor of the latter town informs the merchants,
that a war between the Porte and Russia is al-

most quite certain.
4C By the same channel we learn, that the Aus-
trian Ambassador at Constantinople was as closely
watched as the Russian Minister.
