DUCHESS OF BRUNSWICK.

This venerable Princess, whose decease we an.
nounced yesterday, was in the 76th year of her age,
and the last surviving sister of onr Sovereign. She
was born on the 31st of July, 1737 ; and on the 17th
of January, 1764, she was married to the late Duke
of BittoNswiest-WoLvereeurrLE, by whom she had
issue, three sous and three daughters. Her Royal
Highness was confined to her bed only two days.--
Dr. BAILLIE left the Duchess about slx o'clock in the
evening, thinking her much better. A little before
nine o'clock she was seized with violent spasmodic
attacks, upon which Dr. BAILLIE and Sir HENRY
HALFORD were sent for wish all possible speed; the
forme: did not arrive in time, but the latter came
within a few minutes of her breathing her last, which
took place at half-past nine o'clock. Sir H. HAY,*
Fora) proceeded from her house in Hanover-square to
Carlton-house, and had an interview with the PRINce
REGENT, at ten o'clock, to communicate the afilict.
ing event.
By the death of her Royal Highness, her pension
falls in. The KING is now the only surviving off-
spring of the late Prince of WALES, which cons;sted
of the Princess AUGUSTA, Duchess of Bet/my/Ice,
now dead. his MAJOSTY, the late Duke of YORK, the
late Dukas of GLOUCESTER, the late Duke of CCU.
BERLAND, Queen 141ATILDA of Denmark, who was
born two months after the death of her father. ELI.
ZABETH CAROLINE, who died unmarried, and two
others, who died in their Infancy.
The Princess of WALES arrived in time to receive
a mother's last blessing, and to share her last em-
brace : she was present for two hours before the Du•
chea expired.
No directions or injunctions being found from the
Duchess as to her funeral, orders were given yester-
day morning from the LORD CISAMBERLAIN'S Office,
to the Royal Undertakers, to proceed in making ar-
rangements in the same manner as other Royal Fu-
nerals. The corpse was put in the inner coffin last
night about eleven o'clock. Expresses were sent off
to the QUEEN and Princess of WALES on Tuesday
night.—Yesterday, between two and three o'clock,
the PRINCE REGENT received a communication ttom
the QlntErcupoß the subject. All the Public Places
were ordered to be shut, and the follewing notice was
posted on the doors of Drury-lane Theatre early yes.
terday morning :
" The Public are respectfully informed, that, in
consequence of the death of her Royal Highness the
Duchess of BRUNSWICK, the performances at this
Theatre are suspended until after the funet al of her
Royal Highness."
Many persoes, not informed of the melancholy oc-
currence, drove up to the Theatres in the evening,
and consequently were disappointed of the rich treat,
which, but for the above melancholy event, they would
have enjoyed from the Oratorio at either theatre.
Saint Paul's bell tolled, as usual on the death cf
any of the Royal Family.
The death of the Duchess of 13Rutonvicst will be a
most severe hardship on the manufacturing part of
the community, since it happens at the precise mc-
ment when orders for the Spring fashions are ac-
tually in hand, all of which will be immediately
countermanded ; and thousands of artizans will be
thrown out of employment, while the goods which
may have been completed will be a dead loss to the
mercers and other shopkeepers. To the many per-
sons employed at the different Theatres the ititerrup-
tlon will be a serious loss, since Passion week will
immediately follow the interval Wore the cobioluies.

THE EVENING STAR.

LONDON.

THURSDAY, MARCH 25, 1819.
LADy-DAY.—Holiday at the Stock Ezdatage.

Te fact of Hamburgh being occupied by the
Russians is now placed beyond all doubt. A Danish
vessel, from the vicinity of Toningen, has arrived in
the River, the Captain of which reports, that on the
17th instant a party of 200 Cossacks had entered
liamburgh, where they were received with every de-
monstration of joy. The inhabitants vied with each
other in acts of hospitality, and the strangers are
said to have conducted themselves in the most exem-
plary manner. A larger Russian force was march-
ing upon Hamburgh, but it was understood that the
main body of the Russian Army was proceeding to
Magdeburgh, where the French were said to be in
great force. The latter circumstance is confirmed
by letters from the French coast. The Danish Cap-
tain above mentioned, speaks of the dispositions of
his countrymen as decidedly favourable to the gene-
ral cause of liberty. He says, that great exultation
was testified on the news of a friendly arrangement
with England. A notification had been made, ac-
cording to the custom of the country, in all the
ehurciges throughout Denmark, that the Danish na-
vigation in the Baltic, and on the coasts, would be
free and undisturbed ; that the Danish gun-boats and
privateers were galled in ; and that hostilities were to
cease on both sides, in the Baltic : and this notifi-
cation was received with universal satisfaction, as
being considered to prognosticate a renewal of closer
and more amicable relations with England.

In the event of the defeat of the French at
Magdeburgh, and we see no reason to doubt the
prowess or skill of the troops opposed to them, their
retreat to France must be hazardous in the extreme.

The Auckland packet has arrived at Yarmouth
from Gottenburgh, with Mails and a Messenger,
who immediately proceeded to London. He is the
bearer of Dispatches from Lord CATHCART, Whn is
now, according to reports in Sweden, with the Em-
peror ALEXANDER at Dresden.
The letters and rapers from Gottenburgh confirm
all the favourable intelligence which has been recently
in circulation. At Warsaw, Berlin, Dresden, and
Hamburgh, the Russians have been hailed as deli-
verers, and joined by immense bodies of national
troops. General D'Yoax is in full activity at the
head of a Prussian army, and pursues the fugitive
Vice Roy of Italy, (Beauttanwols) without intermis-
sion. Some of the letters from Gottenburgh state,
that the Emperor ALEXANDER and the King of
Peorsra had met at Breslau to concert measures s,r
the more effectual expulsion of the French from the
North of Europe. The following are extracts from
the above communications :

" PETERSBURGH. FEBRUARY 20.

66 Warsaw is in possession of the Russians. Ge.
neral Vasselebikoff is hourly expected with the et ys,
when Te Deum will be celebrated.

44 Prince Kutusoff, in a report of the operations,
dated Hoek, 10th February, states, that on the Bsh
February, General Mileradowitsch took possession of
the city of Warsaw.—ln this report the Prince also
mentions, that the enemy, who had made a sortie
from Dantzic on the 4th of February, had succeeded
in driving in bis outposts, but were afterwards cut
off from the city, to which not a single man of the
whole column, consisting of 1000 men, returned."

" 001TENSURGH, MARCH 17.

" General D'York is appointed Governor of Ber-
lin. Letters from Carlsharn, of the 11th, inst. men-
tion that the King of Prussia has positively declared
war against France, and that he had agreed to give
1100,000 men in favour of the good cause."

M HAMBURGH, MARCH 7.

" Eleven more of the celprits who took part in
the uproar, were condemned to death ; yesterday
was the day appointed for their execution, brit to
Inhabitants would not permit it. The soldiers who
were to have been their executioners were obliged to
retire, and the French Authorities immediately left
this place.
" It is also said the Russians are on the borderCof
Hanover. One thousand six hundred horses, des-
tined for the Grand Army, have been torten by Il•-•
Missions near Wittenberg, who also seized the Milt,'

fatthful to his signet the ItussianSiCiiliaii
possession of his country, and'it will be governed
by the Russians. The Vice-Roy retired with 2,000
cavalry. Report states General D'York to be in punt
suit of him on the Wittenberg road, with 8,000 men:,
" A Russian corps, under General 13erikendoriv
is marching towards Mecklenbourg,, another on this
place."

ADDRESS FROZII THE CITIZENS OF WARSAW TO THIS
BRETHREN NOW LN ARMS.

" SoLumas—The valour of our Soldiers and of
the Army, and the many sacrifices we have made,
have not been sufficient to resist the victorious Rus-
sian Army : they have entered our country, taken
possession of our metropolis, and (praised be the AL-
MIGHTY !) are become our friends. All our imagi-
nary dread and terror vanished on the declaration of
the Commanding General being made public, by
which all our countrymen are assured of the protec-
don of the great Emperor, Alexander. Our souls,
which were already nearly related by language and
by amicable intercourse, were the more willing to
unite in the bands of friendship, as the experience of
several years has taught us ;
" That Napoleon did not seek our happiness, or
oar independence, but merely sought by our strength
and the valour of our armies, to subdue other nations,
and thereby elevate himself to the station of Auto-
crat. The great Russian nation has shewn us what
sacrifices a nation is able to make, if-she has pride'
sufficient—rather to lose every thing than her liberty
and independence. She has been victorious—she hiss
joined with us, she has done more than subdued
our armies—Alexander and his Russians have gained
our hearts.

66 Brave soldiers ! ye who are still fighting under
the banners of Napoleon—ye who are still fighting
against your own brethren, and the interest of all
Europe•—forsake the standards of the most vile de-
spotism—return to your brethren in arms, and prove
that you are worthy of living among us, who have
been taught by experience, and know that we have
nought but good to expect from the magnanimity of
the noble Alexander.

t'e French had paid for them, which they gave I
the people who d,Evered the horses.
" The Vic:•roy rf• Italy arrived, as is said, fro
Berlin, at Wirtem!)erg ; some accounts say, he
been taken prisoner."

"Obey the call of your brethren, fly into the arms
of your friends, cultivate your fields—become again
citizens of the State, and supporters of your famiiies
—or receive the rewards of your valour in the ranks
of your brethren, whose love Te.ean regain only when
you no longer suffer your noble blood to flow for
the interest of an Alien.—We call on you, by our
Holy Religion, to return."

OFFENSIVE AND DEFENSIVE TREATY
BETWEEN THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA
AND KING OF PRUSSIA.

After this Paper had been some time at Press Go-
vernment received Dispatches from Lord CATCH-
CART, of the Sth instant, which confirm all the ac-
counts of the succtssful advance of the Rus,ian forces,
and add the important intelligence, that a TREATY,
orrzNstvg and DILYZNIIIVE had been signed and
ratified between the Emperor of RUSSIA and the King
Of PRUSSIA.

Lord CATHCART writes from the Emperor of Rus-
SIA'S Head-quarters at Kalitch.

Yesterday the LORD COANCELLOR, the Earl of Lt.
VERPOOL, and Viscount CAsviLettaaait, had audiences
of the PRINCE REGENT at Carlton House.
The view which we hazarded yesterday respecting
Mrs. List.a's evidence, is not only justified by the
argument of a Lord Chancellor, in a precedent which
we shall lay before our Readers, but the precedent
itself goes to establish that so tar is it from being true
that " the very foundations of justice would be
shaken if a witness were permitted. after having
given a formal deposition, to rectify, alter, or amend
that deposition," that, on the contra: y, it is " for the
advancement of truth and justice that the mistake of a wit-
ness should be amended." The concluding sentence
of the subjoined case deserves particular attention :
"As to the inconvenience of amending the deposition
after publication, it guar impossible to know it until
publication."
