BRIGHTON, FEBRUARY 1.

The demise of our ♦enerable, beloved, and good
old KING, has excited a feeling of regret here,
such as we doubt not has been felt in all parts of
the United KingdOm—a feeling which, more elo-
quently than words, has manifested how deeply
Ike was seated :p the hearts' best affections 'of the
people. Bait sorrow is unavailing : his reign has
been long and glorious ; and the best consolation
the nation can receive, is included in the contem-
plation of the manly worth, generous spirit, and
enlightened understanding, of his deservedly be-
loved and Illustrious Successor.
THE- PROCLAMATION OF GEORGE IV.

Took place in this town to-day, exhibiting a spec-
tacle at once grave and inspiriting—sorrowful, but
with its alternate ingredient in the mind's medita-
tion, of enthusiasm and joy. The inhabitants were
yesterday invited to appear at the Town
and at the Ordship, this morning, in mourning,
hut vvith ,white silk favours at their breams,
for the purpose of constituting a procession,
as a preliminary to the momentous matter in
question, and they did so. Upwards of 5000 per-
sons, it is believed, so hahited, moved from the
latter place to-day, preceded by the i3and of
the Ninteenth Lancers, the regiment and their
Officers also making part of the Procession, toge-
ther with the infantry stationed at the barracks
and in the town. The Proclamation was. first
read by the High Constable in !root of the Pavilion,
the Steyne at the moment, including the greater
part of the population of the town, perhaps
from 14 to 16,000 persons;' and as the day was re-
markably bright, a more grant 4 and imposing
spectacle has seldom been witnessed. At the
close of each recital of the Proclamation, the
band played '' God save the King," and the huz-
zas were universal. In the principal streets and
public places the, same ceremony was perfornied
with a similar effect. The best order was pre-
served throughout the day, and not a syllable in
the shape of complaint uttered: During the whole
of the interesting proceedings, it might be aptly
said, that

" Trnc did every heart, in every eye appear,
" While rapture beamed, affection chopped a tear."
