At a Vestry Meeting, held at &. George's, Billings-
gate, the Lord Mayor Elect's Ward, it was moved by
Mr. Jonw SALMON, the Churchwarden "Thatio evince
a respect for the memory of his late Royal Highness the
Doke of York, a Hatchment should be immediately
placed over the Church door, the expense to be tiu-
frayed by Ike Churehwuders."
The Light Horse Volunteers and Artillery Cornpaay
have, with a feeling which reflect the highest credit on
them, respectfully tendered their services to pay the last
'tribute of respect to the remains of a lamented and be-
loved Prince.

Yesterday being appointed for the commencement
of the general mourning for his late Royal Highness,
we observed a very considerable proportion indeed of
those who appeared in the streets in black clothes.

In the memorable year 1803, the military spirit or
the country had risen to the very highest pitch of en-
tbnaiasm;—voluntary associations were everywhere

formed ; the highest and the lowest met together in
equal rank for the defence of the State; the Doke of
Clarence did not disdain to enrol himself as a private
in the Teddington Volunteers; and his late Majesty de-
clared that in case of invasion it would be his duty
to set an example in ,defence of every thing that was
dear to bins. It was under these circumstances that the
Prince of Wales, vho was now merely Colonel of the
10th Light Dragoons, solicited from his. Majestyand from Ministers a military appointment that would
enable him, by engaging in active service, to set an
example to the country. " I ask to be allowed," said
he; " to display the best energies of my character ; to
shd the last drop of my blood in support of your Ma-
jesty's person, crown, and dignity; fur this is not a war
for empire, glory, or dominion, but for existence. In
this contest the lowest and humblest of your Majesty's
subjects have been called on; it would therefore little
becomease,who:am the first, and who stand at the very
footstool of the throne, to remain a tame, idle, and life-
less spectator of the mischiefs which threaten us, un-
conscious of the danger; which surround us, and indif-
ferent to the consequences which may follow."
The applications to the King, and the Ministers were
followed up by his Royal Highness in a letter to the
Duke of York, in which 'his Royal Highness takes
occasion to remonstrate against the omission of his name.
in the extensive list of military promotions which had
just then been made. This letter is dated from Brighton,
2d October, 1803. The Prince then proceeds to remind
his brother of his standing in the army; after which he
ays--.,1 hope you know me too well to imagine that
idle, inactive rank is in my view ; much less is the
direction and patronage of the military departments

inclinations ; but, in a moment when the danger of

fence, I cannot but feel myself degraded, both as
Prince and as a soldier, if I am not allowed to take a
lorwasd and distinguished part in the defence of that.
empire and crown, of the glory and prosperity, and even
existence, of that people, in all which mine is the great-
est stake." "It is for the sake of tendering," he after-
wards adds, " my services in a way more formal and
official than I have before pursued, thOt I address this
to you, my dear Brother, as the Commander-in-Chief,
by whose councils the Constitution presumes that the
military department is administered." The Duke of
Yorkimmediately replied to this letter, addressing his
Royal Highness as " Dearest brother." The Royal
Duke then pleads bis Majesty's solemp injunctions to
him not to mention the subject to him, as a reason for
not complying with the Prince of Wales's request. "I
trust," he says, " that you are too well aestuainted with
my affection for you, which has existed since our most
tender years, not to be assured of the satisfaction I have
felt, and ever must feel in forwarding, when in my
power, eveiy desire or object of yours." After seve-
ral explanatory letters had passed between these parties,
the Duke of. York says, that now finding out his
brother's object to be the allotment of some post suit-
able to the meaent emergency to his siteation in the
" State, he is still precluded horn complying with his
wishes. " This," he says, I conceive to be purely a
' *ideal consideration, and, as such, totally out of my
departfneut; and as I have most carefully avoided, at
' all times, and under all circumstances, ever interfering
in any political: points, I must hope that you will not call
upon me to deviate from the principles by which I
have been invariably governed." He subscribes him-
self in these terms: " Believe me, my dear brother, your
most affectionate brother, " FREDERICK."
