nople may be said to stand on the brink of the grave..
—Letters received at Vienna from Constantinople,
dated the 25th of April, give a melancholy picture
of the state of things there. 'Executi& ns of the most
eminent Greeks continue with unheard of rigour, and
only a few families have succeeded in_ escaping by
night. The serious nature of the Greek insurrection,
and its having extended to the Islands of the Archi•
pelago, has given an extraordinary excitement to the
fanaticism of the Turks, and the populace commit
the most horrible excesses wherever they find un-
armed Christians. Even the Porte acts with a de•
glee of inexorable cruelty, of which no parallel is. to
be found in the Ottoman annals for centuries past.—
Whole streets have been set fire to in Pera, and men,'
women, and children murdered, or devoured by the
flames. All the Christian Embassies have fortified
their hotels to guard against attacks from furious and
sanguinary Turkish mobs.

PROCLAMATION OF THE KING'S CORO-
NATION.

At half-past eleven o'clock this forenoon, the cere-
mony of proclaiming the KING'S Coronation com-
menced, in font of Westminster Hall. Sc, early as
ten o'clock, Mr. MASH, from the Lord Chamberlain's
Office, and the principal Gentlemen from the Herald's
Office, came in carriages to Westminster Hall, where
they alighted, and made the necessary arrangements
within the Hall for the ceremony. Shortly after,
some splendidly caparisoned white horses were led
up to the gate of the Hall, and as soon as a troop of
Horse Guards arrived, the Gentlemen advanced from
the Hall to Palace-yard, which was crowded with
people, who seated themselves upon the scaffolding
preparing outside .for the Coronation Procession.
The Heralds and official Personages, in their rich
uniforms, then mounted the horses provided for them,
and, upon a signal given, the trumpets and kettle-
drums of the Horse Guards struck up a grand salute;
and silence being proclaimed, all persons were re-
quired to be uncovered. The order was obeyed by
all the official persons, and those in the crowd who
were within hearing, and the Herald who was in
front, mounted on a white charger, then read aloud
the Proclamation, and when he concluded with the
Prayer—" GOD save King GEORGE the Fourth," there
were some shouts intermixed with cries of—" and the
QUEEN too I" from the crowd around the Herald.
The Procession then moved in the following order:
Farriers of the Horse Grenadier Guards, with their axes erect.
French-horns of rtie Troop.
Troop of Horse Grenadier Guards.
Two Knights Marshals' Officers.
Knight Marshal and his Men.
Household Drums.
Kettle-drums and Trumpets.
• Pursuivants.
Herald.

King at Arms, supported by two Serjeants, with their Maces.
Mr. LEE, the High Constable of Westminster, and
a large party of Constables, also attended the Pro-
cession as far as Temple-Bar.
The Proclamation was not read, as was expected,
at Charing-cross ; but the trumpets and kettle-drums
sounded a flourish, and the Procession moved around
the equestrian statue of King CHARLES.
At ten minutes past twelve o'clock, they arrived at
Temple Bar, where they had to wait about half an
hour for the necessary permission of the Right Hon-
the LORD MAYOR, to enter the City. His Lordship
arrived in his State carriage, which drew up at the'
bottom of Chancery-lane, at one o'clock, and the
usual form of demanding and granting permission
being gone through, the Heralds advanced in front
of his Lordship's carriage, and there a.second time
read the Proclamation. It was hailed, as before, by
the multitude, with mingled shouts of " Goa save
the KING !" and " Gov save the QUEEN !"
The Cavalcade, joined by the LORD MAYOR, then
proceeded onwards into the City, where the Procla-
mation was repeated at the Exchange and other cut-
tomary places.

This morning a number of workmen were em-
ployed in front of Poets Corner, constructing a
covered way from that entrance into Westminster
Abbey, across to the entrance of the House of Lords,
prepared for her MAJESTY during the late trial. This
platform is intended for Peeresses and others who
will have the privilege of admission to the ceremony
of the Coronation. They will first assemble in some
of the apartments of the House of Lords, and then
proceed by this passage to the Abbey, so that when
the KING has been crowned, they will have an opportu-
nity of passing across to Westminster Hall, and taking
the seats allotted to them, while the principal Proces-
sion, with his MAJESTY, is moving round upon the
other platform to Westminster Hall gate.
An order has been received in Dublin, to make a
State bed for his MAJESTY, to put up in the Vice-
regal Lodge in the Phoenix Park.
Last night his MAJESTY gave a Ball to the juvenile
branches of the Nobility and Gentry.
' Yesterday morning, about eleven o'clock, the Du-
chess of CLARENCE went to visit the School for Ger-
man Children, attached to the German Lutheran
Church in the Savoy. The Rev. Dr. KUPER and the
Rev. Dr. STEINKOFF accompanied her Royal High-
ness, who remained in the School nearly two hours.
Yesterday afternoon the Duchess of CLARENCE
visited the Duchess of KENT, at her residence in the
King's Palace, Kensington,
The Duchess of GLOUCESTER visited the Princess

tol and Bishop of Derry. Her Ladyship WAS married
`in 1795, and has left no issue.
