rivisoAv LVENI7:C, FEBRUARY 17, 1820.

Yesterday evening the further funeral rites and
co:townies sere observed, and the last national re-
Ira paid to the person of the late revered 1lo-
ad; of whom it may be said, in the words of
CffiGREVE—

Lost night
The silent tomb receis'd the good old King;

Ne lod his sorrows non' are safely lodg'd
%Ruin its cold, but hirspitabla bosom."
To his memory, no doubt, numerous pens will be
toplo%ed in illustrating his many private virtues.
Of b's public acts, and their consequences, the
total paitegri&t and the impartial historian may
respected to differ. There could not, however,
vofercd a greater proof of the universal affection
iiihich he was held by the people, than in their
!tidy acquiescence to forego all private interest.

shavpolis could, for an i!aybent, be called away to
considerations of self or social duties, the ear
u again called beck to it by the discharge of
s and the tolling of bells. On this latter

and thousands who bad collected in St.

ir lief departed Royalty, were much disappoint•
ed.—they knew not how or wlty,—by the stroke
,of a bell not louder seam than that of St. Cle-

SPAIN.
Now the :frairs of this distracted kingdom are
proctediug to a dc‘e!opnient. The French jour-
eels, which are so much nearer the scene of action
&a ourselves, and more certain of regular intelli-

grace, speak out with less reserve. It is remark-
ed in The ConNtitutionnel of the 14th instant,
that the courier arrived the day before from Ma-
drid, did nut bring with him as usual the Gazelle,
which gives a sort of tacit confirmation to the news
