the tribute if a nation's grief that will be

pliment thateaa be passed upon bis character ; for,
amongst a people, so just, so discriminating, and arid♦
pendent in their judgments upon public men and mea-
sures, as tire British, high and uniform marks of public
consideration are infallible signs that the person,
oho receives them, has fairly and honestly won
them. One thing which greatly contributed to give
his ROYAL Monsen so conspicuous a place in the
favour alike nation at large, was the opinion universally
entertained, that whatever be did or said in his public
capacity was honestly meant; and these is no virtue
which conciliates the esterm of an opewbearted and
free-minded people like II e British, so mods as sin.;
eerily. The illustrious Personage, whose loss we new de-
plore, pushed the exercise of this virtue aheost to
an extreme; and sincerity, in fact, wag ee promisent a
trait of his character, that no coosidenalim could ever:
induce him so much as to modify an opinion when once
deliberately fotosed—or even to disgiise his sentiments,
if he thought it would be more honourable to publish
them. In a country where political questions are Ili%
toted with so much warmth, the candour and consis-
tency of his ROYAL HIGHOUS necessarily placed him in
strong collision with one part of the public, generally the
more numerous portion too; but the irritation , thus
excited against him, always ceased as soon as the
public mind bad time to recover its usual composure;
aled these short interruptions of popularity, had uni-
formly the effect of raising his Roxsz. Mama= to a
higher degree of favour than he had enjoyed before.
As to the administration of the affairs of the peculiar
department over which his Ro—TAL HIONNESS presided,
with as moth honour to himself, as signal benefit to the
army, both in its mechanical sad moral composition,
there has been long bet one opinion throughout the coun-
try, and therefore it is superfluous to de ell upon it long.
It is sufficient to say, that the British Army, by his
judicious arrangements, the inwardsl distribution of his
patronage, and his unwearied attention to all the duties
which devolved upon bins in his capacity of Com-
mander, has attained a degree of perfection that never
has been surpassed, if it has been equalled. To produce
this result, was the grand object, indeed the ruling
passion, we may say, of his life, for the greater part of
it; and only the ardour with which be prosecuted his
purpose, could base succeeded in producing an
provolone, that has long been the theme of a nation's
gratitude and admit ation.
We cannot close these brief remark*, upon the loss
which the country has sustained by the death of his
ROYAL Hominess, without adverting with satisfaction to
the manner in which this painful subject is taken up
by all our contemporaries, and we have extracted such
parts of their remarks, as are not tainted by patty
spirit, or disfigured by a paltry ambition, tti; appear
. independent. The public ton, have not been backward
in displaying their grief; and the shops are everywhere
closed, and other signs of respect are sbewn for the 'me-
mory of his ROYAL HIONNIAS, as if it was a domestic
loss, which every family in this great metropolis bad
sustained by his death.
In unison with the sentiments we have just expressed
we copy front a MS. Poem, on this sad subject, the fol-
lowing Verses written by Mr. Maus, Author of the
Poem of the 44 Eater Gone :

Akhaegh Ma mortal mane le nut,
