Proclamation of his 111.i.iitiv KING Grotion
le Form having been Officially communicated to
our worthy Deputy Mayor yesterday, by the
_Regis-
,rar. of the Cinque Poets at Dove., the Cryer was
.nm!iately sent round the Town to call a Meeting
1..-e Inhabitants at the Town Hall this day, for
urpose of forming a Procession to go forth and
Mat hi. present MAJESTY KING GEORGE the
Founrit throughout the Town. The .111e2ting. ac-
cordingly took place, aid after the different arrange-
were male, the Procession moved off in the
I liowing order from the'Matket-place:—

left by a Trumpeter, both mounted on Chargers. '

`1 • one hundred and forty, walking two and two, all attired in
&.cp Mourning, for the loss a our late venerable and good
.:.' ra:g. _ . . . . _

The Procession was conducted with much :ego-
Irity, but owing. to the in state of health of his
sent Most Gracious NIAJESTY,_ a considerable

;ree of gloom pervaded the whole, and in some
e4,ure restrained the acclamations of the People.
'he KiYu was proclaimed at five different parts of

e Town, when the Procession returned to the
Lirket-place, and after subscribing for the Musicians
attendance, and singing, with heart and tongue,
e. faiourite National Anthem of Gyp save great
..1:012GS our KING, the Meting broke up, thus af-
.):ding a pleasing proof of the love and loyalty of the
rhAbitants cif Itarusgate towards the reigning Royal
emily and Government of this much envied country.

DOVER, FEBRUARY 3.

I t This.day, at noon, T. MARTELL, Esq. Mayor of
F. Dover, with the Jurats and Common Council, at-
' e••4.led by Colonel FORD and the Officers of the Gar-
h,. i.on, several Naval Officers, and Inhabitants, as-1
al ,liribled at the Town Hall, when his Majesty King
tietacig IV. was proclaimed in the Market-place,

tion being read by J. SHIPDF.M, Esq, Town Clerk.
The Procession returned back to the Town Hall,

Ow than. , h was inafiossasle for him to withdraW
without being noticed: The Ktuo called to 'him!'
and immediately entered into conversation, and told
him, that he had been informed of the office that he
'was soon to be invest* with, that of bein* made the
Mayor of his native toxin of Plympton. Sir Josuu4
was astonished that so Minute and ineousiderable st
circumstance should have come so quickly to the
knowledge of ?he KING ; but he assured his MAJESTY'
of its truth, saying, that it was an honour which
save him more pleasure than any he had ever re-
ceived in his life, and then luckily recollecting him-
self, he added, " except that which your MAJESTY
was graciously pleased to bestow upon me," alluding
'to his knighthood—Northco is Life of Sir Joshua
Reynolds.
The KING, when on a hunting party, was separated,
from his attendants, and obliged to take shelter in a
cottage, to avoid a shower of rain. The inmates of
the cottage were preparing their dinner, by roasting
a joint of meat, hung by a string from the roof, as a
substitute for a jack. His MAJESTY, who was
unknown, asked them what had become of their
jack ? "We have not money to buy one," was the
answer. The KING said nothing; but,,on his depar-
ture, two guineas were found on the chimney-piece,
wrapt up in paper, on which was written with a pen-
cil—" To buy a jack!"
The KING, some years ago, having purchased a
horse, the dealer put into his hands a large sheet of,
paper, completely written over. " What:s this?",
said tie KING. "The. pedigree of the horse which
your MAJESTY has just bought,", was the answer.
Take it back, take it back, said the KING, laugh-
ing; " it will do just as well for the neat horse
you sell !"

After the KING'S recovery in 1789, and before the
Brand procession to St. Paul's, his MAJESTY Sat to
ARRY for his portrait. A day or two after the pro-
cession BARRY waited upon the KING. "Well," said
his MAJESTY, " did you see the grand sight the other
day?" BARRY answered, " that he had an excellent
view of the whole exhibition from a window on Luc!.
gate-hill." " You had the advantage of me, then,"
said the KING, "for I saw nothing but the backs of
my horses!"
The KING is better. There are intervals of re-
turning recollection and freedom from fever. A
Captain MANNERS was mentioned. His MAJESTY
said, " Let him come in ; he is not only Manners,
but Good Manners." A looking-glass, in a pier, be-
tweva two windows, had been covered with green
cloth, to prevent4the KING'S seeing how greatly he
was emaciated. The ICING asked the reason of the
green cloth being put there? The answer was, " Tcr
prevent the reflection of too much light." His MA-.
JESTY said, " How can that be, when it is froni
the light?" It is talked, that he will remove to Kew;
and from thence to the QUEEN'S house. The PRINCE
is assiduous in his attendance.—Extrad of Wilkes's
Letters, Nov. 25, 1788.
To.the general character of the Sovereign, the.loie
of his people best will speak ; and few monarchs have
more possessed the personal affections of Their sub-
jects than the KING. Against Mr. WILKES, how-
ever, considerable displeasure is at this period said
to have been entertained. So ungrateful was the
sound of Wilkes and No. 45,"• deemed to be to
the high personage who is now spoken of, that about
1772, a Prince of the Blood,t then a mere boy'
having been chid for some boyish fault, and wishing.
to take his boyish revenge, is related to have done'
so by stealing to the KING'S apal tment, and shouting
at the door, " Wilkes and No. 45 for ever!" and
speedily running away. It is hardly necessary to
add, (for who knows not the domestic amiableness
of GEORGE 1II.?) that his MAJESTY laughed at the
trick with his accustomed good humour.

The play of King John was acted several nights,
and was honoured with the KING'S command. SHE,
RIDAN'S success in King John heightened GARRICK'S
jealousy, especially when he was informed by a very
intimate acquaintance, that the KING was uncom-
monly pleased with that actor's representation of the
part. This was a bitter cup, and to make the draught
still more urtpalateable, upon his asking whether his
MAJESTY approved his playing the Bastard? he was
told, without the least compliment paid to his action,
it was imagined that the KING thought the charac-
ter was rather too bold in the drawing, and that the
colouring was overcharged and glaring. Mr. GAR-
RICK, who had been so accustomed to applause, and
who, of all men living, most sensibly felt the neglect
of it, was greatly struck with the preference given
to another, and which left him out of all consider-
ation ; and, though the boxes were taken for King
John several nights successively, would never permit
the play to be acted. The Royal opinion of King
John contributed to dissolve the union between these
rival actors.—Davies' Life of Garrick.

CLAIMS OP SEVERAL PERSONS TO DO SERVICE AT TUE
CORONATION OF RING JAMES 11. ASO HIS QUEEN.

The services performed at the Coronation of our
,lonarchs are some of the most curious parts of that
august ceremony
1. The Lord Great Chamberlain of England claimed, at the
said Coronation, to miry the King his shirt and clothes the,
morning of the Coronation; and, with the Lord Chamberlain,
to dress the King. To have forty yards of crimson velvet for a
robe ; also the King'. bed and bedding, and furniture of his
chamber where be lay the night before, with his wearing apparel
and night-gown; also to serve the King with week before and
after dinner, and to have the basin and towels, and a cup of
assay.—Allowed, except the 'cup of assay.—He received the
forty yards of velvet, and the rest of the fees were compounded
for £?..60.

2. The Earl of Derby counter-claimed the office of Lord
Great Chamberlain, with the tees, &c. but was not allowed.
1 3. The King's Champion claimed hit slice as Lord of Seri-
velsby Manor, in Lincolnshire, to perform the said office, askd
to have a gold cup and cover, with the horse on Which he rides,
the saddle, armour, and furniture, and twenty yards of crimson
satin.—Allowed, except the twenty yards of satin.
4. The said office ceunter-.fainted by another branch of the
said fandly, bet not allowed.
h. Th. Lord of the Manor of Lyston, in Essex, claimed to
make wafers for the King aad Queen, and to serve them up to
their table, to have all the instruou-nts of silver and other metal
used about the same, with the linen, and certain proportions of
ingredients, and other necessaries 313,41 liveries, for himself and
I two men.—Allowed; and the service, with his consent, per-
formed by the King's Oilers, and the fees compounded for #3O.
6. The Lord Mayor and Citizens of London claimed to serve
the King with wine after dinner, in a gold cup, and to have the
same cup and coves for their fee; and with twelve other Citiz_tne
by them appointed to assist the Chief Butler of England in the
butlerskip, and to have a table on the left band of the hall—not
allowed in the reign of King James, because the liberties of the
City were then seized into the King's hands' and yet they exe-
cuted the office er Eolith dined in the hall, and had a geld cup
foe their fee.

TO•THE EDITOR-OF THE STAR
LETTER 111.. .
Xli-7-lify last Lettei to you left off at thi sery
extraordinary; and seemingly unaccountable conduct,
lon the part of the Officers of the Royal Staff Corps,
in-refusing to enter into any explanation on the
subject referred td" in mt Letter to them of the
4th October. This puts hie somewhat in mind of
the jailer of the hostile. A prisoner, who after a long
confinement, one day took the liberty of asking this'
"little man, placed in • great station !" why he was,
kept there? on which the latter turned round, with
admirable sang froid, and exclaitnad=" Upon my
word, Sit', you have a great deal of .curiosity !"
The avowed purpose of all punishments being to,
deter the punished, as well as others, from a repe-.
tition of the same crimes, it hence follows, as a plain
matter of course, that, unless the crime is made
known, the punishment can be considered in no other
light than as vindictive. That a man, thus punished,
without knowing for what, may go on, ad irigaitafft,
unconsciously perpetrating the same crimes, and in-'
curring the same penalties every day for the remain-
der of his life-time !—We must either have a rule of
action, or be permitted to act by disadion ; and,
consequently, by chance.
There is, however, one very obvious, satisfactory,
and irresistible inference, which we are now fully
inthia4sed to draw from this refusal of the aforesaid
junta bf Officers, and that is—THAT they have not,
nor ever-had, any grounds, for Paving (with so much
imasteil unanimity!) their injurious aid unprecedented
vote of the 19th June last!! The "unanimous con-
currence and approbation," therefore, with which,
by Colonel MARLAY'S Letter, they would fain
adorn a champion so perfectly worthy of them, now
evaporates in thin and unsubstantial air, before the
bright .torch of reason and ;notice ;' and, 44 like
the baseless fabric of a vision, leaves not a wreck
behind:!

It may now be very naturally asked, if these
individuals had no grounds for passing so cruel a
vote, and so evidently calculated to blast the pros-
pects of a brother• Officer—what were the private
reasons which could have induced them to such an
extraordinary mode of proceeding? The answer is
plain ; and, as these Gentlemen have been pleased to
decline entering into any explanation of their con-
duct, and have, in doing so, abandoned the chair of
justice, I shall (like Job 21o7nberry) sit down in it.
It is at all times painful to be obliged to intro-
duce the name of a Lady into a public discussion of
this kind. There is a delicacy due to the sex ; and,
I am sure, no man can feel more sensible of it than
I do. But if Ladies, who ought all to be " fine 4
defect, and amiably weak," will so far forget them-•
selves as to do that which they have reason to be
ashamed of being published to the whole world,
they must blame themselves alone, for having af-
forded me the materials ; and not me, for availing
Myself of those materials in rendering imperative
justice to my wonnded reputation.
• But as I feel this to be the most up-hill part of
the whole of the task, which has been thus unavoid-
ably imposed on me, 4 shall reserve•it for the sub-
jecztiof my next communication to you.
.. • - I am, Sir, your's, &c. iSce.
Feb. V, 11120. WM. TAIT, Lieut. IL P.

When the Duke of WELLINGTON was lately on a
shooting excursion in Suffolk, a taylor from Ipswich
waited on his Grace, and, claiming acquaintance in
consequence of being a passenger in the same ship
from India, asked the Noble Duke to his house; as-
serting that " his dear Eliza could not die happy
unless she beheld the great man once more." The
Duke, when passing through Ipswich, stopped with
his usual condescension at the taylor's shop, gratified
" dear Eliza," and ordered a suit of clothes!
Marshal TIVRINVE was not only one of the greatest
Generals, but one of" the best natured men too, that
ever. was in the world. Among several other little
domestic examples, the following is related :—The
General used to have a new pair of stockings every
week, his gentleman, whose fee the old ones were, had
taken them away in the evening, and had forgot to
put any new ones in their place. The next morning
the Marshal was to ride out to reconnoitre the enemy,
and rose earlier than usual. The servant whose
business it was to dtess
.him, was in a great deal of
confusion at not finding any stockings; "Its very
odd," says the Marshal, " that I should be allowed
no stockings; but it is very lucky that I am obliged
to ride out! Here, give me my boots, they'll do as
well, nobody will see whether I have any or not."
Madame Da GIOILIS' Trench National Tale, enti-
tled Julien Delmour ; or, The New FEra, excitts
ex-
traordinary,attention in Paris. The translation which.
has just appeared will be read with much pleasure,
the meiits of. this Work depending less on the plot
than on a faithful delineation of manners. The hero's
visit to England, where he takes refuge during the
.revolutionary storm, affords Madame Da GENUS an
opportunity of giving her opinion on our national
character, public institutions, &c. The unusually
liberal manner in which this part of her task has been
performed is no less flattering to the feelings of Eng-
lishmen, than it is creditable to the writer s candour
and impartiality.

A youth, 15 years of age, "named Temple, was
employed .on Monday to take tare of a horse and
chaise, for a Gentleman, in Nottingham-place, Mary-
la-bonne ; Dr. Ihr4vlsine's carriage and horses were
standing behind at a short distance, and, in consequence
.of an umbrella falling under the near horses flank,
the lad went to pick le up, upon which the animal
made a terrible kick while he was in the act of stoop-
ing, and struck him ou the temple, which literally
.drove in the skull and nearly killed him on the spot:
-he expired on his arriral at the Middlesex Hospital.
• HORRIBLE INHUMANITY !—At ten o'clock last
night, an Inquisition was taken before JOHN B. UN-
WIN, Esq. Coroner, at the London Hospital, on view
of the body of Thomas Cokeley, aged twenty-five
/ears, who was most inhumanly stabbed in the groin
with a red hot iron, by a person of the name of
Rotkery, his fellow-workman, at Mr. Jones's Iron-
foundry, in New Gravel-laoe, Shadwell, on Tuesday
mbrning last. The Jury having conferred, unani-
mously returned a verdict of
.Manslidterter against
Rothery, who will be finally examined, at Shadwell
-Police Offiees on Monday next:
