bEATiI OF UER ROYAL HIGHNESS THE DUCHESS
OF
Art aneohncentent in our paper of Saturday, will
bare. in %ease nteasete, prepared Off readers for the
terlAaeholy intelligeoce we this day have to coesraesi-

rate. of t►e death of her Ro3ral Highness the Dachas
of York. Her state of health had long been suet.,
that her medical attendants had despaired of her re-
curery, aad for some time expressed their apprehea-

stens that the serious attacks to which she was sub-

Peet would produce a fatal termination. On Saturday
freesia( illse symptoms of approaching dissobtdon be
rams-se arpurest, that an express was mut off to the',
WIN oflferk, who lost ao time in repairing to Oat
lands. where his Royal Highness revalued with his
aillicsekcessort till nine o'clock yesterday morning,
srb:u elso-lotenthed her last. Her Royal Highness,
pa-0y from the state of her health, and partly it may
be supposed from other causes, has, during her tat-
ter year., lived chiefly in retirement, where she ap-
pears to have exercised the virtues of an amiable and
benevolent disposition. Since the separation of their
evtablishments, his Royal Highness regisharly visited
the Duchess, and no occurrence intervened to give

disturbance to public feeling. Her Royal Highness
was the oldest daughter of the late King of Prussia,
by his first consort, Princess of Brunswick Wulien-
butte). She was born May 7, 1767, and was mar-
ricd to his Royal Highness, September 29, 1791, at
Merlin.

-nippers f:oes 'the excellent letter if Lord Joie
seellilett. to hlr. Wmautroaca, that the Whigs are
dihipm4l t 4 take a more decisive part le the affair of
the lateen that they have hitherto dose. We ander•
stand that the Petition recommended by the Noble
L,r I, has received the concurrence of the principal
S.4temssen and Memhert of both Houses, with whom he
acts : it may, therefore, be considered as expressing
sentiments of the whole of the Whig party. The
/hew thus takes of the important question that now
**Lars the reentry is jest, and the feelings with
wi,ich the portentetu 'subject is discussed, are such as
hymn* enlightened and noble minds. We rejoice in
seeing each men as Lord Joux RUSSELL espousing the
cause of persecuted innocence, and boldly declaring
tLat " the act by which it is proposed to degrade the
Quanx is IA necessary to the State." It is certainly
not : it is not ateessary for amy purpose but to gratify
feelings that ought to be suppressed. His Lordship
justly observes, that " as the Royal Personages had
b-en separated many years, and as the Qualm
had beers six years out of country, it is impossible fur
soy sobePesinded matt to maintain that there is dan-
ger lest she surression to the Crown should be tainted."
The dangers of disputed succession we think are now

rhertly imaginary. There is, unquestionably, mach
awry aeisehief to be apprehended to the country from
a perseverance in the illegal and ominous proceedings
adopted by the persecutors of her Muesli ; for the
S 4 c.seity of lievernment, the safety*, the State, and the
trsneptillity of the People, are essentially concerned in
this itaihrtaaste basinses. How, Mr. Witaaareant
Will del or fad 11111 this esti to his impartiality, set
how the Ministers who have pushed this matter so far,
cast rested', we an unable to guess. The conscientious
mover of the address to the Queue, praying her to ac-
cede to the exclusion of her name from the Liturgy, Rad.
ing himself disappointed of success in thatquarter, one
would imagine, ought to tuns round with equal soli-
citude for his praiseworthy object to the other side,
and pray his Slasnavy to exercise his magnanimity in
foregoing such a nlsr—a wish in which the degraders
Queue are not joined by any portion of the peo-
ple; far the-inhabitants of this country believe her Ma.
sarrt to be innocent, and will not think her guilty. As
yet they have no reason to question her integrity, and
all the evidence that can be brought from the sinks of
vier sad **eruption abroad, will infix no lasting stain
an bet character. We have no objections to see pre.
• frieedship sad patriotism put to the test. The
ease of Mr. WlLsenreaca, and the disinterested
addremars ea the Cross Bench must now be rather
a passliog tree. The day of trial fast approaches.
