NATCHITOCHES, NOVEMBER. 7..

At 9 o'clock this evening we received the news of
the arrival of :WOO Spaniards en the banks of the
Sabine (all mounted) and within 50 miles of us, they
have driven all before them on the march from St.
Antonio, and burnt all the villages; they have driven
the remainder of the Republicans in all directions,
and put several to death. General LONG has, with
risk, Lot clear with his f:►n►ily, but the Comman-
der at this place has orders to send him, if_caught,
to Washington, by direction of the President; we do
sot know where this will end. We have but 50
soldiers at this post.—We have got one family from
New York just settled here.

HORSE-GUARDS, JANUARY 9-5.

It is not required that the Officers of the Army should wear
any *du r mourning on the present melancholy occasion, than a
black crape round their left arms with their uniforms.
By command of his Royal Highness the Commander in Chief,
HARRY CALVERT, Ailjutant-Cenral.

The melancholy tidings of the death of his Royal
Highness reached Wiuisor'on Monday morning.—
An express having also reached Bagshot Park with
the intelligence, the Duchess of GLOUCESTER arrived
at Windsor soon afterwards, to condole with her
Sisters. The Duke of YORK arrived at the Palace
about five o'clock. The Duchess of GLOUCESTER
left the Palace in the evening, on her return to Bag-
shot. Soon after the arrival of the dispatch of the
death of the Duke off. KENT, so universally was his
Royal Highness beloved, that most of the shops, in
the town were half-closed.

Dr. MA TON, who attended the late Duke, arrived
in town yesterday morning, from Sid: moth. The
Doctor waited upon the PRINCE REGENT about three
o'clock, and had a long interview with his Royal
•Highness upon the subject of the fatal illness of his
departed Brother. . Dr. MATON afterwards waited
upon the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE. The
Doctor also called at York House, but the Duke of
YORK had not then returned from Windsor. His.
Royal Highness did not arrive till late in the after-
noon, when he immediately waited on the PRINCE
REGENT, at Carlton House. The Duke of CLARENCE
also visited the PRINCE in the course of yesterday.—
The LORD CHANCELLOR, the Earl of LIVERPOOL, and
Viscount SIDMOUTII, had likewise audiences.
We are informed by a letter from Sidmouth, dated
Sunday evening, that their Royal Highnesses the
Duchess of KENT and Prince LEOPOLD intended
leaving the scene of affliction yesterday morning:—
The remains of their lamented relative will not be
removed for some days.

It is said to be in contemplation to call a General
Meeting of the Heads of the different Public Esta-
blishments which the *Dgke of KENT particularly
patron?zed, for the purpose of testifying, by some
mark of peculiar distinction, their deep regret at
the loss of their illustrious benefactor. The Duke's
patronage, as our Readers must be well aware, was
as discriminatory as it was extensive ; and, perhaps,
a more eloquent tribute could not be offered to
his memory, than is contained in the simple enu-
meration of -the titles of the Institutions over which
he presided. His Highness was

Joint President of the Society for Propagating Christian Know-
ledge in the Highlands and Islands, and among the Indians
in America.
Patron of the African and Asiatic Society for the Relief and
InStruction of the Natives of Africa and Asia, resident in
Lordpn and its Vietnity.
