the Princesses, on Saturday morning, and after-
wards the Royal Duke went on to Windsor Castle.
" The Royal Undertaker, Mr. Ranting, had the
leaden coffin temoved to the chamber of her late
Majesty, at the east end of the Palace, on Satur-
day evening. The coffin was placed on tresseh,
and the men employed on that occasion having
withdrawn, preparations wire made to deposit In
it the Royal Remain's. This last sad 'office was
pecormed in the most solemn manner, under the
immediate direction of Mr. Mash, of the Lord
Chamberlain's Office, and of Mr. Brande, the
Apothecary to the King, in the presence of Mrs.
Beckendorff, Miss Beckendorlf, and the other ladies
who attended her late Majesty during her illness.
The body was wrapped in a white satin sheet ;
and about nine o'clock, Mr. Braude proceeded to
fill up the coffin with spices. The plumber and
the Other assistants were then.admitted, and the
cover was soldered to the coffin.

'' We understand, That the remains of her Ma-
jesty will not lie in state here, as it was reported ;
but, that on Tuesday se'nnight, the day of the
funeral, they will he removed from Kew Palace to
Augusta Lodge, Windsor Park, followed in pro-
cession by the whole of her M ijesty's establish-
ment, in deep mourning. The body will then he
placed in the room, which was used for a similar
mournful purpose, at the funeral of the Princess
Amelia, till evening ; when the funeral will take
place at the Royal Chapel, by torch light.
" The exterior coffin is of fine oak, covered
with rich crimson velvet. The sides are divided
into pannelled compartments, with silver gilt
nails, within which are placed eight soperb
handles, in the antique style, of silver, richly gilt."

TUE KING'S Jtovims.—One of the partners of
the house of Messrs. Rundell, Bridge, awl Run-
dell, of Ludgate-1) AI, is it h whom the late Queen's
diamonds were deposited, had an audience of his
Royal Highness the Prince Regent, at Carlton-
House, on Saturday. It appears that the King's
George, diamond hilted sword, loop, &c. which
were supposed to have been safely depositeo in
a cabinet belonging to her Majesty at Windsor
Castle, have not yet been found, and it is sup-
posed this audience had reference to the subject.
Her late Majesty made it an invariahl, rule, after
every drawing-room, to send for one of the part-
ners of that house, and to deliver her diamonds
to him with her own hands; and it is supposed
she may, upon s.:,ine late occasion, have included
the valuables said to he missing. Atter the last
drawing-room, her Majesty was too much' indis-
posed to attend to this business; and, it will be
lecollected, the Princess Augusta, (attended by
Madame Beckendortf, the late Queen's principal
dresser) came to town, some days after her Ma-
jesty had retired to Kew, for the express purpose
of again depositing the diamonds with Messrs.
Rundell and Co.-=(/bid.)

We understand, that her Royal Highness the
Duchess tit Yoik is to hold the Courts in future.
The Prince Regent will soon remove to Bucking-
ham House, where he will remain, until some
meditated improvements in his ltre•ent resideoce
shall be accomplished. When Calton House is
agai❑ fitted for his reception, Bucking House
will be, very probably, given to the Duke and
Duchess of York, as a residence becoming: the
new rank to which they have ,trived.—(llld.)

The letters and panics bront:.ht by-the Mars are
not of Sc) late H date as those lately ruceiven by the
Nightingale, but the details are fuller and more
important.

Letters from an Officer of rank in the Buenos
Ayres army, stationed io "Tucuman, communicate
the fact that their light troops had intercepted the
correspondence of the Royalist army, from which
it appears, that the Spanish Commander had re-
ceived orders to evacuate Upper Peru and retreat
towards the coast, for the purpose of protecting
it against the menaced invasio►► of the Independ-
ents from Chili. It will be a tnost arduous task
to march an army through an enemy's country, on
a retreat of some thousand miles ; even if it
should reach Potosi without great losses, it has
then to pass the Andes and to proceed to Arica,
which it will probably find occupied or blockaded
by the Independents. A march through Cuzco
to Lima seems out of the question.
The few French Officers with the Patriot Army
in Tucuman were kept to their duty, but great
complaints are made of the influx of Frenchmen
into Buenos Ayres ; they arc stated to be far the
greater part people without character or educa-
tion, or adherents ot Napoleon, who have pre-
:Tried their old ideas, and expect to lord it in a
country where they appear as refugees. They
were jealously watched by the Government. The
French traders were equally troublesome ; they
made common cause with the North Americans,
to raise a cry against British monopoly and in-
fluence.
