-1111 E DUCHESS or plume:mt.—The State Coffin
was finished on Monday nights, and removed to the
house, in Hanover-square, where the corpse in the
leaden coffin was put into it. Some tickets were
issued yesterdat to allow a few select personates to
view it; but it was obliged to be stopped; the public
beciiming clamorous for admittance. Early this mor-
ning an immense number of periods of all denomi-
nations were assembled in Hanover-square to wit-
ness the funeral procession Soon after eight o'clock,
the mournful cavalcade proceeded down BOnd-
strot and along Piccadilly, towards Windsor, atten-
ded by the Puma REGENT'S carriages, and those of
the Royal Dukes, with six horses each, and the
servants in their state literies: several of the Minis-
tets ..of State also sent their carriages. A party of
the 7th Dragoons attended to keep order. The fu-
neral ceremony is to take place at ten o'clock this
evening, at Windsor.

The LORD MAYOR has fixed Friday next for sa
Common-hall, to take into consideration the propriety
of presenting a loyal and affectionate Address to her
Royal Highness the PRINCESS or WALES, on the sub-
ject of the lately-exposed wicked and cruel attempt
against her Royal Highness's character and life:

Yesterday the Duke of YoRK transacted qhusiness
with the PRINCE REGENT at Carlton House ; after-
wards went to his Office in the Horse Guards, and
held a military levee.
His Royal Highness the Panics RaciEwr. bas been
pleased to grant the dignity of a Knight of the United
Kingdom to ALEXANbU ANSTRUTHER, Eitio Re.
corder of the Court of Judicature at Bombay.

An act of atrocious barbarity is said to have been
committed by RAPP, the Governor of Dantiic. It
is stated that 200 of the citizens, having waited upon
him as a deputation, to advise the surrender of the
town to the Russians, in consequence of the privations
endured by the inhabitants, he ordered the whole to
be surrounded and shot.
We are sorry to learb, by letters from Bermuda,
that a malignant fever, confessedly the yellow fever
of Amerita and the West Indies, bad beet! imported
into that island. The ships of war had not experi-
enced any extraordinary sickness ; but —among the
crews of the American prizes which had been breught
in for adjudication, and with which thetharbour *as
crowded, the mortality had been considerable.
A private letter from Hamburgh, dated March 20,
says-66 It is no longer a crime to write to you by
the direct way ; our deliverers are here, and have
proclaimed our former liberty and independence.
The inclosed paper will give you an account of the
whole, to which I will add a few particulars. On the
16th and 17th we heard the cannonading of the Rus-
sians and Freneh; till the latter were driven from
Bergedorf and Vierland across the Elbe. The Rus-
sians haVing no infantry and only two field-pieces,
could not prevent their crossing. In the mean time,
we fluctuated between hope and fear, as our friends
were not strong enough to cut them off entirely, and
the French might retreat to ourcity, all former accounts
of their having passed the Elbe at Ortlenburg being
without foundation. From time to time we received
news from Betgeridorf by the piquets of the Burgher
guard, which had been posted at that place, till at
length, on the 17th, at five o'clock in the afternoon,
a troop of Cossacks galloped into the town, and were
received with the utmost joy. The Russian Com-
inander having declared to • the Deputation of the
Municipality that he would eat acknowledge the
French authority, and that he knew Hambargh
only as a Hanse Town under the old Senate, the
fOrmer *ere obliged to resign their functions, and
seven Members of the Senate were appoibted.-.-
On the same morning the inscription on the Town
House :•••.•41 Tribunal prosier instance," was cut away,
arid every body began to manifest his joy ; French
spies, disguised Douaniers and rascals of this descrip-
tion, were maltreated and arrested. In the evening
the populace paraded the streets in full joy, and called
for lights whereter they did not find any bin there
was no riot; On the 1&h an immense crowd went
to meet the Russian warriors, and a deputation of the
old Senate repaired to the country-house of Sena-
, tor Kocti, to receive the Russian Commander.—
At two o'clock they returned tb the city. I can
assure ion never felt such joy ; tears sparkled'
in every The Cossacks bivouacked in the
streets, an es were set out for them in the
Irengfernsbeg, with meat, ac. The Colonel and all
his officers were expected at the play in the evening,
where Kotzebue's Russia& in Germany, and a small
Opera were performed, and every allusion in it to our
deliverers was received with marks of joy. At seven
o'clock the Colonel appeared, and immediately the
Band struck up our national air, composed to the
tune of 6, Cod save the King." When he went home,
the populace took die bnyses from the carriage, and
drew him to his house. The city was brilliantly illu-
minated spcntaneously, even manufactories andware-
hou'ses. Our city has quite the appearance of a camp,l
the Cossacks are both within and without—their ap-
pearance is singular, and many of them base de-
corated themselves with the insignia of the Legion of
Honour—their horses ate covered with the saddles (4
French, Saxon, and Bavarian soldiers. The old con-
, stitution of Hamburgh is re-established, and the citi-
zens have to-day their first meeting."
