[Morning Post.]
TH E LATE QUEEN.
In cc nsegnence of the lamented demise of her

lAJEtiTY, Patliament, under the relevant provi-
on of the Regency Amendment Act, passed in

-e last Session, will have to meet on or before the
6th day of January next, which will be the expi-
,tion of the prescribed sixty days. It does not
however, that Parliament may not be as-
•mbled before that period ; or even previous to
he 29th of December, to which day it now stands
norogued ; as there is a provision in the Statute
30Ols, enacting that the Great Council of the Na-

Oen may be convened at any time, at the plea-
sure of:the Sovereign, at fourteen days' notice.—
This Act took place not long before the Union
.:vith Ireland, and originated in the House of
Veers, on the introduction of Lord Grenville,who
was then the leading Minister in the Upper
House of Parliament, under the Premiership of
his Illustrious Relative, the Immortal William
Pitt.

'The month of November has been mournfully
distinguished by the fall of several Princesses of
the House of Brunswick. Queen Caroline, the
Consort of George 11., died November 20, 1737 i
the Princess Amelia, daughter of his present Ma-
jesty, departed this life November 2, 1810 ; the
idol of the nation, the late Pt incess Charlotte,
breathed her last November 6, 1817, and we have
to add to the sad list that of her late Majesty
Queen Charlotte, who closed her mortal career
Xovemher 17, 1818. Yesterday a general gloom
pervaded the metropolis. The long and afflicting
illness of her Majesty had called forth universal
sympathy, and if the feelings of regret which such
an event must always excite were less acute than
on some former occasions, it was because the ad-
• auced age of the Royal Sufferer had prepared
.ite public mind for the event, and made it in
,nine measure familiar with the expected calamity,
while reason urged that, at her very advanced
period of life, to be removed from the sorrows of
mortality could only be viewed as a blessed re--'
lease, whatever regret might be inspired by the
contemplation of that awful change which has in-
II
.olved Majesty in the common destiny of all.
It is now eighty-one years since the nation had
ro deplore a similar calamity. So long a period
we halo we or ver before elapsed between the death
of any two Queens of England, who reigned in
• uccessioo. Our late excellent Queen, for con-
otgal attachment anti maternal kindness, would
not suffer troth comparison with the most virtuous
of the illustrious females who through so many
centuries terve 3at on the Throne which she has
so long adorned. When we remember the !per-
nicious influence which many of her predece•sors
have possessed and exercised, we cahoot but Feel
that not to hold its the highest estimation the
moderation and prudence which has ever marked
her conduct would be the height of injustice.
Her affability on many occasions endeared her to
the humblest subjects in the realm. The comic-
scendiug kindness ‘‘, ith which she graced with her
presence the exhibition of Bachelors' Acre in
1809, is not yet forgotten by the inhabitants of
Windsor. Happy to contemplate the enjoyment
of the common people, she on that occasion
walked into the midst of the jocund scene. She
approached the fires by which the (ex and the
sheep distributed among the populace wet e roast-
' ed, surveyed the whole of the arrangements, and
graciously received and partook of the meat and
the pudditig which the ambitious loyalty of the
Bachelors presumed to offer to the Consort of
their Monarch. The cheet tail good hu•nour with
which she viewed the whole of the proceedings
... completed the triumph of that memorable day;
• Itsd her grand fete given at Froginore the saute
, veiling, to which the inhabitants of the town of
Windsor were generally invited, closed the festive
scene with appropriate splendor, and a truly no-
ble display of Royal munificence.
kVe yesterday omitted to state that the Duchess
of Gloucester and Princess Augusta were present
with the Prince Regent awl the Duke of York,
at the expiring moments of the venerable Queen,
. nit Tuesday. The Archbishop of Canterbury was
sent for by the same Messenger who brought the
summons to the Prince Regent to attend at Kew,
but his Grace's family being at their country-
house at Addington, some difficulty arose as to
meeting with his Grace ; he was, however, met
,vith at the Office for building new Churches and
Chapels, in Great George-street, Westminster,
where were assembled the Bishop of London, the
*- Lord President of the Council, the First Lord of
Ilse Treasury, and other Members. It did not
; reach his Grace till past one o'clock, and his
Grace's carriage being at that time engaged by his
Lady, a hackney chaise-and-four conveyed his
t Grace to Kew wi:h all possible speed. His Grace
..`:, left Kew PalaCe on Tuesday, about three o'clock,
i!. for Lambeth Palace. The Duke of York, accom-
•c partied by Sir Henry Halford, left New Palace
t', about three o'clock on Tuesday, for Windsor,
4 where, aftet informing the Princess Sophia of the
melancholy event Ilea had taken place, the Duke
.
• in York returned to London.
• A I't ivy Council was to have been holden at
'.1,. Carlton-House, oo Tuesday, but was postponed
4 owing to the presence of the Regent being re-
noire(' at Kew.
•,:..„ The inquiries at Carlton-House and the Queen's
Palace were yesterday very numerous.—Among
them were, Lord and Lady Ellenboroagh, the
French Ambassador, the Marchioness D'Osmond,
Sir S. awl Lady Chester, the Rev. A. and Mrs.
ii Za:terkey, the Vice-Chancellor, the 'Marchioness of

tiastintzs. &c. The answer to these distinguished
personages was, "The Duchess Of Gloucester and
the Pt iticess Augusta were as well as could be ex-
pected."
The Countess Dowager of Harcourt sat up with
the cot pse of the Queen on Tuesday night, as one
of her :\lajesty%; Ladies of the Betichannher.
The exact time of the Queen's demise was 20
minutes after one o'clock on Tuesday.
The Countess Dowager of Cardigani'one of the
Queen's Ladies. in Waiting, sat tip with the
Queen last night. The Duchess of Gloucester and
the Princess Augusta were expected to remove
last night to the Duke of Cambridge's residence
on Kew-green.
Sir Francis Nlilinnu continues at Kew Palace.
-,The Duke of Sussex art•iveci yesterday at Kew
Palace, to condole with his Alicted Sisters. Lord
Arden was among those who arrived at Kew
yesterday.
The Prince Regent left town yesterday about
one o'clock for Kew, accompanied by the Duke
of York, where their Royal Highnesses arrived a
few minutes before two o'clock. Abort four
o'clock the Duke of York left Kew for \Windsor.
Sir Henry Halford left about the same time, to
attend the King and Princess Sophia.
Sir Everard Home, the King's Sergeant-Sur-
geon, arrived at Kew Palace, on Tuesday night,
and Sir David Dundas, and Mr. Braude, the
Royal Apothecary. We understand the corpse of
the Qoetni has been embalmed. The body has
not been opened as has been customary; but,
however, agreeably to the dying reoittest of tier
Majesty, it has been enclosed with wrappers for
preset vat ion, &c. Mr. Mash, of the Lord Cham-
berlain's Office, attended by Mr. France, the
Royal Undertaker, were in attendance yesterday
morning at Kew Palace, to take instructions re-
specting_ the inteimeot of her Majesty, the di-
mensions of the first coffin, &c. Mr. limning was
sent (or express from Oxfordshire upon the me-
lancholy occasion, and arrived at Kell' Palace last
evening in great speed.
Yesterday, at twelve o'clock, a meeting of the
Lords of the Council was holden at the Council
Chamber, Whitehall, whicl► was attended by—
The Archhist4op of Canterbury, the Bishop of London, the
Lord President of the Council, the First Lord of the Trea-
sury, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Secretary of State
for the Hume Department, First Lord of the Admiralty,
the Lord Steward of the lionsehold, the Lord Chief Baron,
the Judge of the Admiralty Court, the Judge of the Arches
Court, &c.
The subject of discussion was supposed to be,
whether it should be recommended to the Prince
Regent, representing the Sovereign, that the fu-
neral of the Queen should be similar to that of
Queen Caroline, as by an Order in Council, or to
be under the direction of the Lord Chamberlain
Owing to the alliances of late contracted by the
progenyot our deceased Queen, the family mourn-
ing on her account will be extended to several

Courts of Get many.
It has been maintained in a variety of quarters
that her Majesty has lett no Will. We however
have every reason to believe that there is one
existing, which has been drawn tip at different
periods since tt►e 2(1 of May, and on different pieces
of paper, by an Officer belonging to his Majesty's
Establishment. About a fortnight previous to the
Royal demise, her Majesty, for the first time,
was apprized of her danger, by a cominnnica,ion
made by order of the Regent, and in as delicate a
way as po,sible, such as is commonly resorted to
on such occasions, namely—" That if her Ma-
jesty had any affairs to settle, it would be advis-
able to do so whilst she bad I►ealth and spirits to
bear the fatigue." The Queen was considerably
shocked at tl►e intimation, as she had entertained
an idea of recovering through the skilful aid of
her medical attendants.
In contradiction to the report that her Majesty
had not the consolations of religion, we are au-

thorized to assert, that she had prayers read to

her cvery day during the last month, and a ser-
mon, when ape was enabled to bear it, from a re-
gular Clergyman.
Rumours are also abroad. that her favourite
daughter, the hincess Elizabeth of Hesse Hum-
bourg, left England without taking leave of her
august Parent, in consequence of a fatuity dif-
ference. That difference was amicably adjusted
before the Princess's departure with her husband,
and they parted in the most affectionate Manner.
One of the first acts of her Majesty's benevo-
lence was the forming an establishment for the
daughters of decayed Gentlemen, or orphans. A
house and grounds were purchased in Bedford-
shire, and a Lady, of high attainments, placed
therein, at a salary-of 5001. to instruct the pupils
in embroidery, &c. They were taken in at 15
years of age. The produce of their labour was
converted into ornaments for window-curtains,
chairs, sofas, and bed-furniture, for Windsor
Castle, and the Palace in St. James's Park.

[PARTICULAStS FROM KEW.]

" Kew, Wednesday Night.

" We stated yesterday that the bed of the Queen, during
her last moments, was surrounded by her Royal offspring.—
For more than half an hour, they remained in this situation,
in a state of agonizing suspense, and, for some time after
her Majesty had ceased to breathe, the Princesses continued
supporting their beloved parent, too much absorbed in grief
to observe the overwhelming catastrophe; and when Sir
Henry Halford announced that the mortal existence of her
Majesty was at an end, their Royal. Highnesses were so much
affected, that they wept audibly.

" At length, the Prince Regent, exerting himself to calm
his own feelings, took a hand of each of his beloved Sisters,
and g,ntly withdrew them from the mournful scene.
"Their Royal Highnesses, followed by the Duke of York,
retired to the drawing-room; and it was nearly three-quarters
of an hour before any interruption was given to their sor-

TOWS.

" It was afterwards arranged, as we before stated, that the
Princesses should withdraw to Windsor Castle, and orders

were given, in consequence, for the necessary preparations.
The carriages for their Royal Highnesses and their attendants
were accordingly gut ready; but the hour of departure was
repeatedly postponed, and eventually the removal was given
up altogether.
" Immediately on the decease of 'ter Majesty, the Royal
Standard, which, since her residence at Kew, had been con-
stantly flying on the tower of the chapel, was lowered half
down the staff; and, in the course of the evening, a detach-

went of sixty men from the Ist Regiment of Guaids, under tlo
command of Colonel Barrow, arrived from the Horse Guards,
at the temporary barracks on Kew Green.
" This morning, the Princesses left their apartments, for
about a quarter of an hour, and walLed in the private gardens
behind the Palace.

" At two o'clock, the Prince Regent arrived, accompanied
by the Duke of York. The Prince, in setting out for the
Palace, had driven to York House, and found the carriage of
his Royal Highness already waiting at the door to convey him
on a visit of condolence to his afflicted sisters. The Prince
Regent alighted for a few minutes, and afterwards the Roy.'
Brothers drove WI together in the Prince Regent's carriage,
for the Palace, that of the Royal Duke following, un-
occupied.

" Soon after the arrival of the Prince Regent, one of the
Royal Carriages was sent fur Sir David Dundai, and Sir
Everard Home being already at Kew, the mortal remains or
the were wrapped in ccie-cluth :or the purpose of pre-
serviitiun ; but the body was not opened.
" Sir David Dwidas and Sir Everard Hume were assisted
by Mr. I.lrande, Apothecary to the Household.
" Mr. Mab, of the Lord Chamberlain's Office, and
Messrs. France and 13anting, of Pall-Mall, we: e in attend-
ance at the Palace nearly the whole of the day, to take in-
structions for some of the preliminary arrangements of the
funeral.

" During the whole of the afternoon, the Prince Regent
and the Duke of York remained in seclusion with the Prin-
cesses, and orders were givin to prepare Cambridge House,
on Kew Green, for the immediate reception of the Royal
Ladies ; and they sleep there to-night. The filial affection
of their Royal Highnesses will not suffer them to remove
farther from the remains of their lamented Parent, at pre-
sent, though his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, we un-
derstand, pressed them to take up their residence at Carlton
House for a time.
" Whilst the Prince and the Duke of York remained at
the Palace, the Duke of Sussex arrived from Tunbridge, and
had en interview with his Royal Brothers ; and shortly
afterwards the Duke of York left the Palace for Windsor
Castle.

" The Prince set out on his return to Calton House, about
half-past five o'clock, but the Duke of'Sussex remained with
the Princesses a considerable time afterwards.
" The Dowager Countess of Cardigan, in her capacity of
Lady of the Bedchamber to the Queen, sat up with the corpse
of her Majesty on Tuesday night. This night that melancholy
duty is to be performed by the Dowager Countess of Har-
court.

" To the numerous inquiries after the health of the Prin-
cesses, which hare been made at the Palace to-day, the uni-
form answer has been—
' Their Royal Highnesses are as well as can be expected.' "

[Morning Chronicle.]
By the Act of last Session the care of his Ma-
jesty's sacred person now becomes, vested, and
will continue vested, in the late Queen's Council,
until Parliament shall make due provision relating
thereto ; and the Regent will forthwith issue a
Proclamation, declaring that the case mentioned
in the Act of the slst year of his Majesty's reign
(viz. the demise of the Qaeen) had happened, and
requiring Parliament to meet and sit at West-
minster immediately after such Proclamation shall
have been published, or upon some (lay to be
mentioned in such proclamation, within 60 days
of the date of such proclamation.—By the provi-
sions of this Act, therefore, Parliament may be
called on to meet immediately. It is not likely,
however, that this will happen, but that advan-
tage will be taken of the second branch of the
clause, and that a daywill he I»entioned being within
60 days of the date of the Proclamation. If taken
to the full extent of the time, Parliament will not
be called on to meet befoi e the middle of January.
We have not yet heard what steps have been taken
to discover whether her Majesty has lett a will,
and of what funds and valuables she has died pos-
sessed. A Morning Paper of yesterday, in speak-
ing of the little apparent harmony that subsisted
in the Royal Family, animadverts with censure
on the undutiful indifference with which so many
of her Majesty's children could go abroad, at a
moment when their suffering parent stood so much
in need of filial consolation. We believe that
the departure of the Royal Dukes and of the Prin..
cess Elizabeth was by no means the result of in-
' difference. They would have been infinitely
more inclined to remain, and to give daily and as-
siduous attention to their dying mother. It is
probable that her Majesty's funds in money will
not be found considerable, as we understand that
her Household was expensive, and required the
greatest part of her establishment ; but in jewels,
and other valuables, she must be rich. It there
he no will, the whole will go of course to the
King, and from the King to the Prince Regent.—
It is probable, that along With the Queen's
ita-
tuonds there Way be also deposi;ed his Majesty's
jewels ; his diamond George, his uncommonly
rich sword, his famous button and loop, &c. &c.
which have not been seen since his calamitous
affliction.

.....
By the brig Nightingale, arrived at Liverpool
from Buenos Ayres, we learn, that some little
alarm had arisen there, but the particulars are
not fully explained. A desperate character, sup-
posed to be insane, accused three distinguished
individuals of having laid plan for overturning the
Government, and seizing on the Supreme Direc-
tor. They were arrested, but were soon set at li-
berty, having convinced the Supreme Director of
(heir innocence. Judicial proceedings had been
instituted, in order to investigate the affair to the
bottom, to vindicate the character of the accused,
and the following Proclamalion was issued :

THE SUPREME DIRECTOR OF THE UNITED PRO-

VINCES OF RIO DE LA PLATA TO HIS COUNTRY-
MEN.

CrrizENs,—A dangerous main, urged by misery and de-
spair, had, according to his own confession, formed a plan
d.rected against ate, as the means of overturning the present
Administration, and to improve his fortune. He sought ac•
complices for effecting his purpose, but he was caught in the
nets which he had spread for others. Surprised on the eve
of his senseless attempt, he accused three individuids of
consideration in the country as the authors, and he had
unfortunately the address to give to his accusation the
appearance of truth. I ordered the arrest of the accused,
