Madam have this moment had the honor
of receiving your Ladyshp's letter. think
II right To observe in answer to it, that when her
late Majcsty's executors communicated to me
copies of her last will on "Wednesday last, by
which 1t appeared that her Majesty desired
that three daysafter her death her body should
be sent to Brunswick for interment, felt it to
be my duty, to give directions in the Kings
absence, that her Majesty's intention in this
respect might be carried into effect with as
little delay aspossble, and lostno time, in lay
ing before the king the directions which had
been issued for this purpose. | have since
received his Majesty's commands to continue
to act in conformity to the orders first given.
l had directed that the funeral should proceed
from Brandenburg house tomorrow morning,
but upon representation which received
from DIR. Washington, yesterday,it was agreed
to put off the departure till Tuesday, and
feel that should be now acting in direct con-
tradiction to the kings commands, as well as
contrary to the intentions of her late Majesty
If was party to any farther delay.

executors on the arrangements necessary to be
made on this melancholy occasion; aud it has
been the anxious desire Of the King and his
Government, that every thing should be con-
Quoted IN the most becoming, orderly, and de-
cent manner.

p" The tragedy of the persecution and the
death of a queen is at length brought to its
awful close; and thousands, we may say mil
lions, of eyes will he sulliused in tears, when
they shall read that Caroline of Brunswick is
no more. The greatest, perhaps the best wo-
man of her day, sunk by what may be called
apremat,ire death at twenty-five minutes past
ten yesterday evening. She died rs she had
lived, christian heroine and martyr. But
how awful to contemplate the decease of a
princess IN whose gallant heart there beat the
mingled blood of the reigning families of
Brunswick and of England, who was the last
representative of that united stock, her only
child having gone before her to the grave. 1t
is the death scene, not of one, but of a race!
NO kindred hand was near To close her ewes ;
no mltrcd prelate to receive amidst the impress
slve ccrcmonlals OF his Office, aud to publish to
the world, her solemn declarations ofinnocence
But peace was there smiling like cherub and
the life which had been spent amidst clouds
and tempest was blest with one last moment
of serenity and joy; and now,

good INFORM you, that however undaunted
was the courage of her majesty, vet that the
cruelty of her enemies, the ingratitude of her
friends, and the general baseness of courtIers,
did at times most deeply prey upon her spi-

which, however well composed, was still but fe-

We will even add, that all these circumstan-

by immense multitudes Of persons, and was
treated with the same distinguished respect as

there it halted whilst one of the escort rode
forward into the town, to make some cOmmu-
