ANEC'DOTI; OF HIS LATE hfAJiSTY,

GEORGE THE THUA

SUING TIM Rural—ln one gf the late Kinds ea-
cursions, during the hay harvest, in the neighbour-
hood of Weymouth, be passed a Acid where only
one woman was at work. His MAiItSTY asked her
where the test of her compihions were? The WOMAn
answered, they were gone to see the KING.—" And
hy did not you go with them?" rejoined his Ma-
JE6rY.—" I Would not give a pin to see him!" re-
plied the woman; 66 besides, the fools that arc gone
to town will lose a day's work by it, and that is more
than I can afford to do. I have five childven to
work for," &c.—" Well, then," said his MAJESTY
putting some money into her hands, " you may tell
your companions who are gone to sec the KING, that
the Krya carne to see you!"

it waft

odt melancholy dim. tht Tuesday lat, t•
announce td sir Readers the painful tidings of the',
decease of the-Duke of KENT ; a short space7--onel
of seven daps only—has elapsed, and we are again"
called-upon to add to the record of death, his much
affected parent, our late venerable :nil ievered So-
vereign. The intelligence first reached this city by
the London coaches, in the afternoon of Sunday,
and, although it might have been desirable that
the sufferings of the good Kixo should be termi-
minated, the account excited a considerable degree
of sensation. The mail coach, on the following;
morning, brought The Londos Gezetle Extraordinary,,
confirming the fatal event; and on its contents being
made public, the shops and private dwellings, with
some few exceptions, were partially closed, and the
whole city seemed as one family mourning the loss of,
its common father. At eight A. M. the tolling of
Bea Harry, from the great tower of the Cathedral,
announced the national loss, and was continued for
one hour ; after which the bell was rung out 'or
another hour—a ceremony observed only on the
death of the trio, QuaaN, or the Attcnstsnor.—
This was succeeded, in the course of the day, by the
bells of all the parochial churches of the city.

EXETER, FEBRUARY 1.

GEORGE [IL the best of Kings, is no morel lie
was the father of all his subjects by his dignity, and
the father of most of us by his venerable and ho-
noured age; but, above all, he was our true father,
by his love and his goodness. If ever a King of Eng-
land had a British heart, it was our dearly-beloved
Sovereign, Gamma 111. Let thcn every British heart
mourn for his irreparable loss:
• bight was the mornity, of thy patriot name,
• When England saw and blest the rising flame;
• Brighter the depth of thy meridian blaze,
• Then exultation mingled with amaze;
• And blest and hoaour'd shall thy sun descend,
• Though heart and eye are sorrowing for the end.
• Thy country's Genius bends above the tomb,
• A notion's brow is overcast with gloom;
• A nation's gratitude writes o'er thy bier,
• The Patriot Monarch, Gateaux, reposes here!'
On receipt of the'mourafid intelligence in this city,
the bells of the Cathedral and parochial churches tolled
lat intervals, and the shops were.rrtial y shut.

The Funeral of the late Kl3llols at present fixed to
take place oa Wednesduy, the 16th inst. the arrange-
ments for which are not yet finally determined, but
it is understood that they will be nearly similar to
those which were made for the funer.d of the late
Quaas. They are to be conducted by Messrs.
FRAKOR and Baldly°, under the direction of the
LORD CHANLBERIAIX.

The following is a copy of the inscription'tin,the

The bells tolled at Windsor from the time of the
demise of his MAJESTY, on Saturday, till eleven
o'clock next morning, being. the time of the com-
nsencenient of Divine Serviee. The melancholy
tidings caused universal grief thrc.tglsout the town.
All the great gates leading to the Palace were kept
closed in consequence, and the Royal Standard at the
tope( the Palace was. lowered to only hallstaff hithr
There has been an oversight in the dating of the
official documents which have been issued since his I
present ivlasEary's Accession to the Throne, in dating
them from Carlton House, whereas, as "son as his
MAJEsry became King, and held a Court in it, that
building became his Palace.
'Sir ISAAC HEARD, the Garter King at Arms, is'
nearly 9'J years of age.
It is a curious historical fact, that the ignorance
of that expensive establishment the Herald's College,
has cost this country very dear. They proclaimed
GEonoE I. King of France, as well as of Great Britain
and Ireland ; the title of King of France, in old pos-
sessors of the throne, being a family title, and should
have ceased with the Swaim.

It may be important to some of our Readers to
know, that by Mr. PONSONEY'S Act, the 57th, v. 45,
of the late KING, every person who, at the demise of
the lit NG, S11:111 hold any office, civil or military, tin-
der the Crown during pleasure, shall, without any
new or other patent conamission, warrant or authority,
continue and be entitled to hold and enjoy the same
during the pleasure of the Kiwo or QuFgt.: who shall
succeed to the Throne. This relieves civil, military),
and naval Officers from the duty and expense of re-
viving. their commissions or patents ; and, conse-
quently, the LORD CHANCELLOR and ATTOWNET••GE..
N ERA L will not be entitled to the fees, which, accord-
ing to ancient custom, would have fallen to them on
the present occasion. 'Though all °pet, civil and
military, are relieved by this Act from the payment
ornew tees, there are some appointments to which
the Act does not extertd, as they are not what the
Act describes offices. Tuesday produced the proof.
Four eminent Barristers who possessed patents of
precedence, found that they were extinct by the de-
mise of the KING—Mr. FONBLA MAHE, Mr. WETIIER-
A LL, Mr. CASPERD, and Mr. Jenvars. Of these,
Mr. CASPERD appeared in his stuff gown, and took,
his seat without the Bare All commissions to Justices
of the Peace, we believe, 'must also be renewed at or
before the end of six months.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR:
P Stiti—eln reference to Colonel MitaLav's Letter;
pidgialied in-your Piper of the 128th, relative to Mr.
Pettay's prosecution, you will oblige me by pub-
lishing this Letter t
64 The Officers of the Royal Staff Cotps, it would
appear, are not only eafer to participate in the
advantages of Mr. PERRY S *shillino. victory over me,
but to be likewise ambitious of °sharing 'with him'
his now pallid and drooping laurels 1..--I hope the
British Army will not envy the Royal Staff COrps
this very humble distinction ! - ' • -
" But Colonel MARI,AY'S letter would seem to
imply, and indeed it has been, by strangers, so under--
stood, that I had, by some misconduct, so far degraded
myself, in the opinion of the young Gentlemen of
the Royal Staff Corps, as actually to have forfeited
my claim to the privileges of an Officer and a
Gentleman !!
• This is a very brief, but to me, it will be readily
granted, a very important question ; .and I have to
congratulate myself on being so fortunate, as by the
means which Colonel MARLAY'S letter now afford;
me, Of sifting this seemingly mysterious affair to the
root. Colonel M.'s letter, lam happy to say, brings
those Officers of the Royal Staff Corps, who had, in
pry affair with Mr. PERRY, thought proper to con.;
'tote themselves into a kind of self-elected Pretorian
band—this letter, I say, brings these Gentlemen at
last to a point. I flatter myself that I shall now be
stl
able to grasp their wriggling lubricity, and fix them
in one tangible position. They only shrink from
investigation who have reason to dread it ! To rue,
this is an opportunity which I embrace with alacrity,'
and hail with rapture. "
I am now invested with the privilege of calling
Upon—indeed, I now defy and dare those Officers of
the Royal Staff Corps to prove me—nay, to say that
I am the degraded wretch they have (with so much
of the chaNcteristie generosity of soldiers !) endea-
voured, and would still endeavour to insinuate, I am.
If they cannot shew this, the world must join me in
thinking of them what it would not be quite prudent,
nor is it necessary for me to say.
" With, I trust, a becoming confidence—that con-
fidence which is peculiar to an untarnished reputa-
tion—l shall submit my plain statement of the case
to the ordeal of the Public ; and I again bid defiance
to, and call upon my antagonists to refute it, if
they can. In stating my case, however, it may be
proper to premise, that in a matter of this kind, which
is of more real importance to an Officer than life it-
self.---for it_ involves his reptitation—all delicacy, as
to names and sexes, must of necessity he entirely
waived. An obloquy has been attempted to be
thrown an my character, as an Officer and a Gentle-
!man ; had therefore if, in my efforts to dispel that
odium, delicate exposures and unpleasant matters
should be unavoidably promulgated, blame cannot
justly be imputed to me—but to those who have thus.
by their own free will and accbrd, imposed on me,,
in any own justification and defence, the necessity ofl
deing so. _
.. n the Military Register, of the 21st April last,
an atticle appeared, entitled—, Festal.% INFLUENCE
IN TUR ARMY.'
" This article, which gave rise to my affair with
Mr. PERRY, he said, in a letter to me, was an attack
on the Heads of the Corps. This letter, which was
dated IlammeAmith, 17th June, 1819, was in an-
swer to a friendly letter which I bad sent him on a
small matter of business, and ran as follows ;
! To Ma. Tsar—Although the Lacedemonlans never trea
,npon a fallen foe, nor the Englishman turned his back upon his
friend in distress, yet It is every man's duty to support the dig-
sity of the station In which be is placed, and to guard against
those friendships by which he may insensibly be lured int,
danger.

• An attack was made in the /Watery Righter, of April 21st,
1819, upon the Heads of the Corps in which I have the honour
of serving; and, although this attack Is piwcipally aimed at only
a few individuals, yet the manner in which it is made renders it
the business of every one who has any military ideas, to mark,.
in the strongest manner, his disapprobation and disgust at such
a mode of proceeding.
• When you shall have disavowed all knowledge of the publi-
cation to which I allude, you will find, not only myself, but
many others, ready to proffer our hands, and exert ourselves to
the utmost, in endeavouring to forward your views in any way
to which they may be directed.
• I haven* objection to the arrangement proposed in the note
I received last night, es coming/root the person witA widow goo are
aegalialing your business, and it shall be done whenever he pleases
to mention it to nee.--I have the Namur to be, Sir, your most
obedient humble scream,
(Signed) • S. A. Psalm, Lieut. Royal Sti.ff Corps.'
" Whether the article above alluded to was, in
reality, disgraceful to the writer of it or not, or
whether it abounded in misrepresentations, .or con-
tained only disagreiable and unpalateable truths,
makes no earthly difference whatever to the merits
of the present question. It is,quite sufficient, there
cannot exist a doubt in the mind of any man of
'common sense, that Mr. FERRY considered it to be
of so disgraceful a nature, as to induce him, as a,
brother officer,-to decline any further intercourse with
the author of
•• I would just beg leave here to pause for a mo-
ment, and to ask, if any Gentleman—if any Officer
is bound, by the rules of good breeding and civilized
society, to submit himself, to the degrading condi-
tion of being thus insulted and catechised?
•• On receivivg this most unexpected answer to a
letter written in the very fulness of friendship, 1 did
re: act upon the sudden impulse of the mon.ent, but
went directly in march of a friend. The first I hap.
pened to meet was an Officer of the Rifle
a mutual friend to both parties. Issubmitted the
whole• matter to his decision ; and, accordingly, I
dispatched to Mr. PIIRRY theletter, a co2y of which
I shall transmit you by to-morrow's post, together
with the sequel of an affair, which you will, by this
time, perceive to be one of the last importance.
I am, Sir, you moat obedient servant,

Jamaica Papers arrived this morning to the 19th
of December. TEe following is an extract of a let-
ter from St. Thomas's, of the 12th December:
" The latest intelligence received from the Orinoco
is to the 14th ultimo. It is stated that General SOU-
BLETTIL had arrived froth New Granada with 3,000
then ; and that BoLiv tri was within four days march
of him, having left General SA NTANDPI Vice-Presi-
dent of the Kingdom. It is supposed that BOLIVAR•
intended to maize an attempt Lo drive MostiLLo out
of the Caraccas."

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FRobt CURAcOA, DATED DEC.&
" The Governor-General of Cataccas has this
morning arrived here from La Guyra, in an open
boat : we cannot conjecture the cause of his arrival.
44 Accounts had reached Sr. Thomas's, from Mar-
garitta, of the Independent frigate Victory, of 32 guns
(Brion's flag-ship), having sunk, at Pampetar, while
in the act of heaving down, and cart ied along with
her a brig of war into such a depth of water, that it
is thought. they cannot be hove up again." •
By a vessel which arrived yesterday, accounts have
been received from Buenos Ayres to the 2d of go.
vember. It was known at Buenos Ayres, that the
Alexander had put back to Cadiz, but no informa-
tion had been received of the arrival of her con‘
sorts, the San Thelmo and Prueva, at Calleo,
So riendly a footing was maintained at Buenos
Ayres with the Portuguese, that Colonel PjNTog
had been there some time; and had shipped off
upwards of a thousand horses and mules for Monte
Video. The report lately in circulation, that the
Portuguese were about to abandon Monte 'Aden, ap=
pears to ..be without foundation ; that Government
had been shipping off artillery from thence, and fora
tifying with it every vulnerable point on the coast of.
Brazil, but it was supplied from the surplus of-the '
Ravines in that place. The Government of Buenos.
Ayres was taking measures to chastise AMTtOAs, who
had latterly enlarged the sphere orhis clepredations,
'and, not conteht with subsisting his own troops on the
plunder of his more industeiout neithboors, had as.
sociated himself, for siqiilar purposes, with a large
band of the Montonera of Santa Fe. General 'SAW
MARTIN and BELGRANO.. were to co-bperate in
the reduction of these hostile bands, and the Most
rigorous measures were threirened. A French fri-
gate, the Duchess of Berry, had -arrived at Buenos
Ayres. An extract fign.k.otte of the letters brought-
by this vessel, is inserted-in our first page.
