" What tongue can speak what millions weep ?"

Amidst that flood of grief in which her illustrious re-
lations are overwhelmed, it must be a satisfactiqn,
though a melancholyone, to them to perceive how much
and deeply the British people sympathize in their dis-
tress. The POINCISS was, indeed, the Idol of their
Hopes. The liberal principles which she professed as to
State affairs-her spirited espousal of the cause of her
calumniated mother-her determination not to enter
into a matrimonial union but with one to whom she
could give her heart along with her hand-the amiable
picture of domestic felicity which she exhibited from
the moment of her being united to the object of her af-
fections—the unostentatious benevolence with which
she contributed to the utmost of her means to the relief
of the poor and destitute.had all concurred to en-
throne her in the beans of those who thought them.
selves destined to be her future subjects, and to leave
her nothing to acquire by an actual succession to the
Throne, but the power of rewarding, by deeds of be-
neficence and wisdom, the love and devotion ;he had
already secured. Nature had been bountiful to her
,in person and in' mind, as if solicitous to qualify her
in all respects for that period, when by the course of
nature the destinies and happiness of Great Britain,
and perhaps even of Europe and the world, might
have been directed and maintained by her power and
discretion. The spirit and activity that marked her
character in early life. before education and reflee-
dos had regulated her feelings, matured into the most
amiable, benevolent, and affectionate dispositions..-
Nothing was beard of her conduct but what tended
to her honour, nothing but what contributed to the
comfort of all who came within hp sphere of action.
She was indeed a genuine Englishwoman, and had
it pleased PROVID2IIOIt to bare spared herto sway the
sceptre of Britain, she would have swayed it with *
spirit of an English Queen.

The orders for the National Mourning Will be very
shortly issued. The Duke of Noarotx, on whom,
as Hereditary Earl Marshal of England, this duty
devolves, is expected in town for the purpose this day.
