THE DEATH OP THE PRINCES CHARLOTTE.

The Noble Marquis added in a suppressed toue.l,
and truly indicative of hit feelings, that, as thee!,
Royal Visitor bad departed, be should instanllH
follow ; be would not presume to dictate to
company—their own hearts would promp, then'
best on such an occasion, In five minutes th(
Hall was cleared.

The appearance of the whole city this day is at
one house of mourning ; a spontaneous impuisc
of dismay and respect has induced every Trades'
man in the city partially to close his window-
Bells at the different Churches are sounding mos
doleful knells ; and every countenance appears s,;
wan and dejected, as it.it were the harbinger of
the loss of some near and dear relative.

After the illusion of only a few days, so tran-
sitory are the events of this world, the inhabitants
of Bath will have to regret the departure of bet.
Majesty and most ,of her Suite ; but the House-
hold is to remain, which inspires us with thLH
hope, that when the sad and solen,ln otiselnies
are passed, our bounteous Queen may return and
still experience the virtues of our healing springs,

The DEPUTY EARL NIARSHACS ORDER for a GE-

NERAL MOURNING for her late Royal Highness

the PriliCeSS CHARLOTTE AUGUSTA, Daughter

of his Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT,

and Consort of his Serene Highness the Prince

These are to give Public Notice, That it is

expected, that upon the present most Aldan-

ci~oiy Occasion of the , Death of her late Royal
Higliness the Princess CHARLOTTE AUGUSTA,

Daughter of his Royal Highness the PRINCE RE-

GENT, and Consort of his Serene Highness the
IVOCC LEOPOLD of SAxE COBotrao, all Persons do

put themselves into DECENT MOURNING, the said

Nlournin to begin on SUNDAY NEXT, the 9th

(Signed) "H. 11. NIOLYNEUX HOWARD,
" 7th Norm bike, 1617. D. E. M."

Our Readers will see by the above Order, that
our statement yesterday, of the Day when the
General Mourning is to commence, was authentic.

The natural and truly laudable anxiety of the
people to learn all the circumstances attending
;he dreadful event that will doubtless long oc-
itpy the public _mind, has induced us to avail
ourselves of whatever the other Daily Papers have
contained on so. affecting a subjeci ; carefully
tvoiding, however, all those false and mischievous
rumours which are always to he expected when-
.ver an event arises that engrosses general atten-
ion, and interests the national. feelings. We
have ourselves so fully expressed emotions on
'be melancholy occasion, that we willingly resign
he painful recital to others, assuring our Readers,
ievertheless, that we shall not fail to present to
hem whatever may. deserve their notice, or admi-
uistera consolatory influence to their feelings under
loss so unexpected and deplorable.

The City of BATH, thongil the sorrow for the
~ loss of our amiable Fames ss is universally felt,
has peculiar claifos to sympathy. All was festivity
and loyal exultation before the melancholy tidings
arrived, awl in a moment all was disappointment,
_rief, and 4f::spondency. Her M.A.tEsnr had re-
. solved to patronize whatever might administer to
the happiness of the people, as well to extend her
benevolence iii the relief of distress. 'flue Duke
of CLAHENCE had, by order of the QUEEN, sub-
scribed 501. to the Balls at the Upper Rooms. She
bad 'promised her patronage to ASHE'S Concerts,
and had announced her intention to give a new
organ to Bathwick Church. The Corporation of
Rail!, actuated by feelings of respect,
_loyalty and
4ratitude to her MAJESTY for honouring the City
with a visit, had presented the Freedom to her in
4 magnificent Gold Box. The Corporation of
Bristol were on the eve of setting off to Bath to
testify the loyal feelings of that City, and to solicit
the honour of a Royal Visit, where her MAJESTY
would have been received with all possible reve-
rence and affection. But one of the melancholy
circumstances of Wvappointment attending this
'oatiooal calamity, is that which befalls the mid-
illing and lower order of Tradesmen and Shop-
keepers of Bath. They had strained every nerve
to procure an abundant stock of whatever might
he thought necessary to supply the wants,
and administer to the luxuries of the vast
loonber of Visitors who were expected from.
all the neighbouring and all surrounding quarters
to pay their respects to her MAJESTY. All this
superabundance and surplusage is now left upon
their hands. Many, perhaps, will be reduced to
.n extremity of distress to answer the demands
which they haul incurred. We therefore earnestly
I recommend their ease to the consideration of the
Corporation who have done themselves so much
honour by their loyal preparations, as well as to
the Nobility and all rich visitors of the City.
The disappointment of the expected harvest so
lamentably blighted, would be alone sufficient to
excite feelings of compassion towards the suf-
ferers, but when it is considered that they must

have incurred heavy demands, we are persuaded
that they will not be ovetlouked by the wealthy-
and the great.

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

" PAars, Nov. s.—Yesterday the King received the Ambas-
sadors and Foreign Ministers. M. Hochschild, Charge d'Af-
faires from Sweden, was also presented to his Majesty.
" Mass was celebrated 'yesterday at Notre Dame (on the
eve of opening the Chambers) in the presence of the King,
the Princes and Princesses, Deputations of jlie two Cham-
bers, the Officers of State, &c.

" A fog, which had for two days enveloped Paris, became
so dense yesterday evening, that no one could see ten paces
before them. No carriages passed along the streets on ac-
count of the danger, and the theatres were desected, the fear
of not being able to find their residences keeping people at
home.'

" Lord Boringdon, eldest son of the Earl of Morley, died
on the Ist instant at Saint Mande, near Paris, aged I" years.
A stalk of rye, which he inadvertently swallowed the latter
end of. .laly, was the cause of his sufferings. It was found
after his death, three inches in length, in its original state,
lodged in the intestines.
" At half-past eleven, the night before last, two or three
loud knocks were beard at the door of the residence of \la-
dame Catalani. The porter having opened it, and seeing no
orAe,; was about 4o shut it again, when be perceived a large
packet placed in a corner. Fie opened the packet; and was
extremely surprised to find a new-born female child, whose
attire indicated extreme indigence. A billet announced that
the mother of the child, destitute of resources, and informed
of the benevolence of this celebrated singer, recomMendeff
her infant to God and to Madame Catalani. The hopes of the
poor mother were not deceived, Madame Catalaul having de-
termined on adopting the child.

" VIENNA, OCT. 25.—The Emperor Ad Empress arrived at
Scullin the 17th instant•. The next day they received a visit
from the Commandant of Belgrade, and were present at a

trouble to keep the Greeks at a distance. • - '
" AUGSBURG, OCT. 28.—The Duke of Devonshire is ar-
rived here from Italy on his return to England.
" NUREMBERG, OCT. 28.—The last letters from Berlin

A Copy of the Speed: of the KING Of FRANCE
to the Chambers on opening the Session, is, we
understand, in town, though we li;:!ve-tiot yet seen
it; We arc assured, however, that its whole spi-
rit and import affords highly favourable indications
of the growth of prosperity in France herself, and
of the-continuance of kind and amicable sentiments
among the various Ct9urts of Europe.

T E FUNDS.—Consols continue to rise. Yes-
terday they left off at 831, and thibilday at 12 .o'clock
they were done at 8311 ; a further advance is
expected.

Sir WmLiam GRANT.-1 his Gentleman has an-
nounced his inttntion, on account of declining
health, to resign his Office of Al-ister of the Rolls.
The public have therefore a double cause for re-
gret, in the loss of a wi:e, learned, and upright
Judge, and for the occasion of his retirement.
Never was his important station filled with more
rectitude and requisite ability, and it will be dif-
ficult, w.ith all the legal knowledge, honour, awl
integrity which this country can boast, to pro-
cure a Successor of equal judgment, learning, and
impartiality.

The accounts from Dublin and Cork this morn-
ing state, that the Fever has increased to an
alarming extent, and that the deaths have coti3i-
derobly multiplied within these few days,:

Yesterday the EA of LivEßPont, had an an•

The remains of the Hon. Mts. HENTity CAvEN-
DISH were removed yesterday, for interment, from
her residence, in Berkeley-square, in the family
vault, at Kimzsbury. The cavalcade consisted of
a hearse and six horses, three mourning coaches,
Btc., the carriage of the Duke of DLvoNsturts
and six horses, Lord WALPoLe, and Lord G. H.
CavEtqmsres carliatres, and the family carriage.
Mr. creem, the Master of the brig Mediterra-
nean Packet, now lying in Milford Haven, and
bound to Leghorn, together with James Levett
and T/wnws Thompson, the Chief and Second
Mate of his vessel, were charted, on Tuesday
last, before HENRY LEACH, Esq. Justice of the
Peace at Milford, with having a few days previous
flogell and ill-treated William Armstrong, a black
cook, belonging to the same ship. The charges
being fully proved, Levett and Thompson were
committed to the County Gaol at Haverfordwesr,
to answer for the assault at the next Quarter
Sessions, and the Captain was admitted'iii•bail
upon his recognizance of 1501. for his appearance
at the same time. The complainant, it appears,
was sickly at the time of undergoing this treat-
ment, and the poor fellow now lies dangerously
ill on shore at Milford.

The Magistrates of Cupar (Fife) were pleased
to present Mr. WILKIE, the Painter, with the
freedom of that town, on his late visit to Scotland,
as a mark of respect to his distinguished talents
as an artist, and as being the place where he
was educated in early life.

Her MAJESTY, with the Duke CLAIIIENCE

and Princess ELIZABETH have left Bath, and

are expected at Windsor this day.
No time, we can assure our Readers, has yet

been fixed for the interment.

When General TAYLOR arrived at Bath, her

MAJESTY was at dinner, with the Princess ELIZA-

BETH and Lady ILcHcsrca. The General; with
his usual prudence, good sense, and feeling, sent

a Message desiring to speak with Lady hcHESTER.

Her MAJESTY, on hearing the message, im-
mediately changed colour, and with a drooping

pre-sentiment, expressed her persuasion that some
unfortunate intelligence had 'arrived. When the

dreadful tidings were communicated to her,

her agony was extreme, and the Princess ELI-

ZABETH could not restrain emotions of the

deepest affliction and despair. Her MAJESTY then

announced her intention to return as soon as pos-

sible to Windsor, and orders were immediately

given for preparations to hasten her departure;

CONVICTS FOR HIGH TREASON.

Brandreth and Weightman, as soon as the Re,
Nir. Pickering, who is most assiduous and haulm,
in his attentions, left them, took their usual walk
.Brandreth got a long new pipe in his mouth..
which he held by his right band, while lie kep!
his left hand in his jacket. He dashed his chain-
about as if he felt them .not, and seemed quit,
composed and at his ease while he looked coolly-
around him and smoked his pipe. Observing se-
veral spectators staring with much astouishment
at him through a small grated window, be fixed
a• steady look of contempt and indifference on
them whenever he came to that corner of his
walk. He seems extremely attentive at every
exercise of religion and devotion, but lie steadily
resists every enquiry into his former history, or
into the circumstances that led into the last fate'
adventure. When any queStions of this kind are
urged, he replies, " say nothing upon that
subject,"—" I will not` implicate others." At first
he had said that he-deservell to die ; wit-ether be
should die for miniler.or treason did not signify.
He note-questions the justice of his sentence, and
'asks, " Who saw me shoot the man ? What proof
have they that I killed any 'one ?"
Far. different are the convictions and feelings of
Turner and Ludlam. They are extremely peni-
tent, and, join with solemn earnestness and me-
lancholy resignation- in every act of devotion.
Ludlam often enquires with much anxiety and
sympathy whether Brandreth is become properly
sel:sible of his offences, and has with due peni-
tency implored the divine mercy. Turner was this
day visited by his mother, his brother, 'and his
sister (another brother, Edward Turner, is among
the reprieved prisoners) ; their affection for one
another appeared to be very strong ; their parting
was most painful and affecting. Both Turner and
Ludlam declined to walk. They arc in the very
deepest distress, but calm and resigned. They are
now in quite a different part of the jail from
Brandreth and Veightman, So that they can have
no communication.

Turner got a copy of the Prayer-book from Mr.
Pickering, and presented it to his sister. He said
he hoped that a book given in such circumstances
would be afterwards read with greater attention
and profit. Ludlam has sent for a copy of r' Bax-
ter's Call to the Unconverted," which he is to
present to his son with the same intention.

DEltriY, FRIDAY, Nov. 7.

EXECUTION OF 4EREMIAI-1 BRANDRETH, WILLIAM
TURNER, AND ISAAC LIIDLANI, Fort HUAI TREASON.
•

Before we detail the circumstances that attended
the last awful scene of the distressing drama which
ignorance, delusion, and discontent have lately
exhibited in this place, we beg leave to mention
a few particulars of the conduct of the wretche►t
victims of the law on the day preceding the exe-

cut ion.
It will be recollected that Brandreth latterly
spoke less favourably of his trial than he bad
done at first. He was heard occasionally to mut-
ter, " Oliver has brought me'to this." " Bit
• for Oliver I should not have been here." On
Thursday morning, the Rev. Mr.. Pickering said
to him, that it was well known where Oliver was
for several days before the insurrection, and that
it could be proved he was not with him. He
made no reply. He was then asked how he came
to engage in such an enterprize. He said he
would answer no questions of that kind, and
begged that he should not be troubled with any.
The Clergyman asked him if he felt no dread of
the death that was now so near; he replied cool-
ly, " I feel no dread." He afterwards prayed in
the hearing of the Clergyman, who remarked to
him that he had expressed no contrition for the •
murder he had committed. He said he felt no
contrition on that subject. Thus he continued,
ready to join in any act of religion, insensible of
any remorse, and proof against all fear. At half-
- past three in the afternoon he took his usual
walk. It rained pretty heavily, and his heels
were seen bare through. his worn-out stockings
vet he walked backwards and forwards as if both
his mind and body were perfectly at ease. A! tht
same time his features and looks had no symptom
of insensibility. George Weightman was labour-
ing slowly and heavily along, with his massy
chain clinking at his heels ; the reprieved pri-
soners were singing hymns in the adjoining
rooms ; Brandreth was quite regardless of all.
Turner and Ludlam declined again to move
out of their cell. Ludlam's sons, his brothers,
and his sister saw him for the last time. They
prayed together with an earnestness and fervour
that were .quite overpowering. They were all
dreadfully agitated at parting; yet Ltidlarn short
ly afterwards said he feared it would have been
worse. Turner's brother saw him again on this
qty (Thursday), and their final parting was deep-
ly lfferting. Both Turner and Ludlam were e,-

'-refuel)? penitent, they protested Ole/ never
'should have moved in the unfortunate 'affair but
for Bacon and Brandie.h, They blamed Thomas
Bacon more particularly. and said they considered
him as the titi,itar of arll the mischief. Turner
had his en with •Braintreth on the 6th, 7th, and Bth
' of June. • They both continued to express much
'anxi y th r Brantheth should become penitent
•and .urro for for his cruelties and bloodshed.
'Ludlam expressed a strong wish that the people
would he ratter be submissive and obedient to the
King and the laws.
• This morning Lizeildni and Turrier looked sl►ncic-
inlV and spiridess. They had watched the
whole night in prayer and psalm-singing. At nine
the Chaplain viSited them, and assisted then in
, Their devotions. They afterwards continued to
pray aloud till the Moment of immedUte prepara-
tion arrived. Their expressions were always the
saute :—" 0 Lord, have mercy P' " 0 Lord,
save my soul !" " If lam on a bad foundation,
upon a sandy fontidation, 0 Lord, take it now
as ay, and set me coon the rock." " 0 pardtm all
my sins, for the sake of thy Son, who died once
for all mankind." " 0 Lord, come now with
thy strength, and support my soul." While the
out' fervently tittered these expressions, the other
Itet-tans•wering " Amen." Then the other took
op the prayer, and was accompanied in the same
manner by his companion. Their voices were
dejected in the extreme.
Brandreth slept as usual, rose in good spirits,
and showed no sign of despondency or fear.
From an early hour in the morning the scaf-
folding and drop were erecting in front of the
•• gaol, and a considerable number of persons were
collected in the street, goietly looking on, and
listening with Visible alarm to each lad note of
preparation.
At half-past 10 all the prisoners went to the
Chapt.l. Ludlam and Turner looked like walking
• i:pectres. Brandreth stepped forward firmly. All
the other prisoners appeared to feel much sympa-
thy. At the same moment the crowd without
felt some trepidation on seeing the horse led into
the gaol that was to draw the hurdle along -the
card.
At half-past eleven, all the prisoners; excepting
the three men to he executed, and GeorgeWeight-
man, left the Chapel. All held their handker-
. chiefs to their eyes, and sobbed deeply. Shortly
. after they had collie into the }ard,, William Tur-
ner's brother, EdArard, shrieked horribly, and
was carried into a room by two men. The Chap-
lain then administered the Sacrament to the four

convicts.
At twelve precisely, Mr. Simpson, the Under
• Sheriff, appeared with a few javelin men, and
considerable number of special constables. The
prisoners then descended from the Chapel to the
room aliich lhanclreth and Weight man had occu-
pied. Here their irons were knocked off. Tur-
ner and Ludlam kept praying all the while. When
Ladlam's chains wefe knocking off, he exclaimed,
Q Lord Jesus, Thou art tender-hearted ; 0 be
now my portion 17
At a quarter past 12 the hurdle was drawn up
at the dotir of this room. it was a Very simple
machine, formed or a few hoards nailed upon two
long beams. Brandreth Caine out first,, and,
While placing himtelf on the hurdle, said " Some
one hold me, lest I tall off." A man held him
while time horse was driven slowly round the yard.
lie nodded to the several prisoners as he passer;
along.
Turner was next drawn on the hurdle.
When he came to the other prisoners they all
screamed and wept most bitterly. When Isaac
Ludlam was placed on the hurdle, he clasped his
hands and *raised 'a fervent hiok towards Heaven.
The prisoners cried out still more bitterly. Tur-
ner and Ludlam kept their eyes' shut while.on the
hurdle. Ilrarxireth and Turner were kept in a
narrow pas Sage -of the gaol till Ludlam joined
them. Ile, seeing. them stand there, asked if he
might not walk there for a, little time. Turning to
theClniplain he said, " You remember what I men-
' tinned to you," e% e bdieve something relating
to 'his family). They then proceeded immediately
in the same order to the scaffold. 13randreth
luoked coolly around upon the immense multitude
of the spectators, and in a loud and firm voice
said, " God be With 'you all and Lord Castle-
reagh." He stood resolute and silent while the
executioner adjusted the rope round his .neck,
Tallier came out next, and advanced with un-
usual firmness of step. IlThile time executioner
, was putting the rope round his neck, lie exclaim.:
ed loudly and distinctly, ".This is all _Oliver and
the Government.'' The Chaplain at this moment
came iu front of these two, ,ind prevented any
farther observations.
Isaac Ludlam came out last; and when the rope
was applied to his neck, he devoutly said, " I re-
ceive this at the hand 'of the Lord :" then raising
his voice to a louder pitch he prayed thus
~..rpay m .soul now, tower up to glory. 0 may I
now go where angels worship thee. May I meet
this great concourse of people in Heaven. '0
' Lord I pray for high and low, rich and pOor, hond

vidence he sanctified." _Here the - Chaplain's
A •
Voice in prayer having become louder than Lad-
lam's, Ludlam ceased td use any expressions of
his own, .and joined' the Chaplain by repeating,
" Amen" to every particular petition,
They all repeated the Lord's Prayer very dis-
tin-ctly, and immediately afterwards the drop fell.

This he held exactly. in the same ,manner after
