LONDON JOURNALS.

[FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.]

[Morning Post.]
THE LATE QUEEN, &c.

The preparations for the funeral are nearly
completed. Yesterday morning Messrs. France
and Ranting 's. Assistants commenced hanging
with black the large dining-parlour or le+ll, itt
Kew Palace, in which her late Majesty is to lie
4 in state, and erecting a grand canopy under which
the coffin is to be placed. The admission is to
be limited to the Royal Households, and to the
day previous to the funeral, which is expected to
;72 take place next Tuesday or NVednesday, provided
every thing can be completed in time. All the
r State observances and grandeur will he used on
the solemn occasion, under the circumstances that
such a number of distinguished characters cannot
attend it as if it had been fully a public funeral of
H the Queen of England ; in that case, her remains
tvould have laid in state in the Painted Chamber.
1. The hearse will be drawn by eight of her late Ma-
jesty's black horses, and driven by her State Coach-
dt
man. No mourning coaches are to follow, but
"' all the Royal carriages, including the King's, the
late Queen's, and the Prince Regent's, drawn by
black horses none of the Royal Family will be
in them till they arrive at Frogmore, 'I he
Q,teen's carriages will be occupied by Mrs. Beck-
, endorff and other attendants of the late Queen.
p.
Numerous detachments from the Life Guards,
and the Royal Horse (luau's, with their bands,
rt: trumpeters, kettle-drums, &c. twill form part of
7. the procession, which will also be joined a
party of the Lancers. It will proceed at a slow
pace till it arrives at Fro more, flout which place
the road and streets leading to St. George's
Chapel will be lined with the Foot Guards, under
arms, every sixth man holding a lighted flam-
beau. •

The procession will be formed at Frogmore as
it is to enter Sc. George's Chapel, with the ex-
ception of those in Windsor Castle. 'the Prince
Regent will enter as Chief Mourner, upon which
occasion his Royal Highness's train will be borne
by tour Marquisses.
Tine hearse is to be guarded by the King's Body
Guard, and forty of the Yeomen of the Guard,
who upon this melancholy occasion will appear
in full mourning with their arms reversed. The
Queen's Crown will be carried on a cushion,
covered with black. Her late Majesty's pall is to
be held by six Dukes ; the Prince Regent will sit
at the head of the Coffin, the Chamberlain at the
foot ; and the Royal Attendants will stand during
tine last awful ceremony being performed over the
remains of our late beloved Queen.

THE KING'S JEWELS.—We have authority to
contradict the statement in some of the Papers
yesteray, of Messrs. It undell and iiiidge having
had the cute of the King's Jewels. Neither
these, nor the %41uables of the same description
belonging to her late Alajesty, were ever deposited
in their house. Messrs. Rut-idyll and Bridge
never had any other charge of tie Queen's di,-
monds turn merely the conveying them to and
from the Bank of England on occasions when

they tvere used 1)7" their Royal Owner ; and even
when her Majesty',jetvelic were cleaned, the work
was HilVidyS perfOrMtd at the Qiieen's }'dace. As
to the Elitig's jetvds, Messrs. Runde I and Bridge
never on airy occasion had the core of them, and
therefore all the statements that have appeared
upon this subject are utterly void of foundation.
Tlre King's jewels, we are informed, have been
missing ever since J-ne last

PRIVAIE CORREsPoNDENCE.
DECLARATION OF THE ALLIED POWERS.

Aix la Chcrl,ellr., Nov. 21, Satin day, 3 o'clock, e M.
I have it now in my power to-day, to send you
four Documents*, which may be considered as
the most important results of the Deliberations of
Congress.
')'!laugh the Declaration, about which I bad
previously spoken so much, was not signed till
the 15th instant, you canimt fail to perceive how
acc,:ratcly I had, in different letters, pointed out
the course that would be pursued with regard to
the alliance which it announces. This is not the
Declaration which' it was originally intended to
publish. It has undergone t'lre,lt modifications.
You will see, in this Declaration, the indication
of future meetings of Congress.
The first of the documents which I send you is
a Note of the Nlini,ters of the four Allied Powers,
addressed to the Duke of Richelieu on tke 4th in-
atant, inviting the King of France to join their
alliance, for the " more general and cornprelicn-

liive objects," to which, in spcakin4 of the Ciihi-
3druple Alliance, I alluded. The second is the
answer of the Duke, on the 12th, acccpting, in

the natne of his Master, the invitation tendered.

The third is the'Protocol signed in the sitting of
the 15th instant, in which the general principles
,gf the subsequent Declaration were agreed to.
The last k the Declaration itself of the business

1. which Congress Iris executed, and of the object
':1 !Or Lillie!, the future alli,ince of the Powers is to
b:.! Maintained. These documents speak for them-
! selves, and require no further comment from me.
As the business of Congress is now terminated,
this town is emptying very fast.
The King of Prussia depaited yesterday morn-

ing, fir Berlin, with the greatest quietness. His
111,1jesty, who dislikes very much uny Mud of ce-
muony or parade, probably wa_s averse to the ob-
servance'; of a formal parting. He, therefore,
went away two days before the Emperor of Rus-
sia's arrival, issuing himself (as I have been told)
his own bulletin, and declaring himself indisposed.
His Majesty passed quietly through Cologne,
which had been illutnitwed two nights (the Nth
and 19th) in honour of his guest, the Emperor of
Austria. Tire Duke of Wellington arrived here
from Brussels, to sign papers and per-
