Whitehall, iVov- 6. Her Royal Highness the Princess Charlotte Augusta, daughter of his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, and consort of his Serene Highness the Prince Leopold of Saxe Cobourg. was delivered of a stillborn male child, at nine o'clock last night, and about S half- past twelve her Royal Highness was seized with | great difficulty of breathing, restlessness, and exhaustion, which alarming symptoms increased till half- past two this morning, when her Royal Highness expired I to the inexpressible grief of his Royal Highness tbe | Prince Regent, ofher illustrious Consort, the Prince Leopold, and of all the Royal Family. " Claremont, Thursday, Four o'Clock, P. M- " Mr. Parsons, the King's Messenger, was despatched last night at eleven o'clock, by Viscount Sidj mouth, as Secretary of State for the Home Depart- ! ment, to Bath, with an account of the Princess hav. j ing been delivered of a still- born male child. It was I not then imagined that the next melancholy tidings would be the death of the beloved Princess. On its being known in Claiemont- house, soon after nine o'clock last night, that the infant was still- born, gloom was visible in every countenance ; but the disappointment was alleviated by the recollection that the Princess was then pronounced to be doing extremely well. This consolation, however, was of very short duration, no doubt being then entertained of her Royal Highness doing well, and it was then little I thought that the next despatch to London would be to announce the Princess's death. The preparations for rejoicings at tbe event are this day turned into weeping and mourning. Piobably the demise of an amiable female, especially one of such very exalted I rank, never took place under more afflicting and distressing circumstances. Her beloved Prince Leopold, Sir Richard Croft, Dr. Baillie, and Dr. Sims, had | etired to their bed- rooms, the Prince to the apart | ment adjoining to that of the Princess; it was then i past twelve o'clock, and it was considered by the Me- | dical Gentlemen that she wanted no other assistance than Mrs. Griffiths, the nurse, could render her, and that during the remainder of the night she should be vept as quiet and composed as possible. Her Royal Highness had previously expressed herself perfectly composed after receiving the intelligence of her infant being still- born, expressing her entire submission to toe will of Providence. Her Royal Highness partook of some chicken broth and gruel, but their was . some difficulty in their passage. She afterwards com plained of a severe chilliness and a pain at her chest, which proved to be spasms; and the Princess appeared •• o unwell that the nurse thought it her duty to call the Prince, and the Medical Gentlemen, who lost no ime in repairing to the Princess's bed- room. Every assistance and aid was afforded by the three doctors, who rank the first in their profession; but all human assistance was in vain ; it was the Almighty's awful ' isitation, and death was inevitable. May it be a warning to the nation at large, who were looking up to her, to be prepared for death. Her Royal Highness lay half an hour, from a little before two o'clock till near half- past, from the time of her being taken vvithout speaking, supposed f v have lost the power of I t, but appeared perfectly sensible and composed ; and - dso, as her dissolution was approaching, her resignation was very apparent. On the doctors' pronouncing ; he awful and painful communication that her Royal I Highness was no more, life being extinct, the Prince's [ feelings and state of rnind may be imagined, but cannot be described. He remained during the morning inconsolable, but this afternoon he is more composed, and is as well as can be expected under his severe and irreparable loss. At eleven o'clock, the Duke of York and Earl Bathurst arrived, and remained about an hour with Prince Leopold. The Archbishop of Canterbury and tbe Bishop of London, arrived soon after one o'clock : they only remained a short time. u The inhabitants of Esher, Kingston, and Hampton, highly to their credit, have shown the most marked token of respect by closing their houses : the shops and inns have also closed their doors and put up their shutters." A N O T H E R A C C O U N T. I The Royal Infant was alive till within a very few | minutes before the delivery, and is one of the finest I children ever seen. The Princess bore tbe account of >. he frustration of her hopes of a living offspring with astonishing fortitude. The Cabinet Ministers had such full reason to believe that all was safe with respect to the Princess, that they departed from Claremont soon after eleven o'clock. Between one and two, her Royal Highness was seized with alarming depression, and so obvious an exhaustion of strength, that the physicians immediately sent a despatch to Earl Bathurst, at Putney ; but just as his Lordship was preparing to depart for Claremont, another despatch arrived, announcing the fatal event. The Earl then went instantly to Lord Sidmouth, at Richmond Park, and both of these noblemen proceeded immediately to town. When Prince Leopold heard of the delivery, he instantly exclaimed," Thank God, the mother is safe!" The Prince Regent, as soon as he was informed, in Suffolk, that her Royal Highness was in labour immediately departed, and travelled all night. The mo ment he arrived in town, he despatched Sir Benjamin Bloom field to Claremont, to announce his intention immediately to follow; and when he was on the eve of quitting town, the melancholy tidings arrived, which at once put an end to his hopes and happiness. The great bell, at St. Paul's, was ordered to be tolled, an order which it is' the office of the Lord Mayor to give, ard it tolled from twelve till one yeserday. The Lord Mayor also took Immediate measures for summoning < n especial meeting of the Court of AI- ! ermen. which took place yesterday, being attended > y his Lordship, the Lord Mayor elect, and seventeen Vderm n, with the Recorder, Sheriffs, and City Of. cers, when it was unanimously agreed that the fitting up of Guildhall for Lord Mayor's Day next, should immediately be discontinued, and that the preparations already made should be removed ; and public notice was directed to be given, for the doing away all show and rejoicings on that day. Despatches were immediately sent off to the Queen and Princesses, at Bath, who will most probably return forthwith to town ; and to every other member ol the Royal Fami'v. The dejection and sorrow universally expressed in the countenances of all, were the best testimonies to the character of the deceased. The influence of the event was felt at the Stock Exchange, where it was considered as likely to affect national prosperity, and tbe funds suffered a sensible depression. Shops were every where voluntarily shut, and all business was suspended ; except, we are sorry to say, that of vending newspapers, by born- boys, in the streets— a scandal that was generallv reprobated. As soon as Lord Sidmouth and Earl Bathurst. whom the fatal tidings first reached, arrived iti town the former sent off a despatch about a quarter before six, to Bath. The Queen, when the messenger got to Bath, was at dinner with the Princess Elizabeth Lady Ilchester, General Taylor, and other persons ol distinction. General Taylor, to whom the despatch was addressed, was called out of the room, to read it. His feelings were so shocked, that it was some time before he recovered himself. He then desired Lady Ilchester to be called out, thinking and meaning, that such a circumstance might, in some measure, prepare the Queen. He did so. When her Ladyship return ed, the Queen exclaimed,—" I know some fatal event has happened !" Her Majesty was the informed, and immediately retired with tlie Princess Elizabeth, who was also dreadfully affected, to her private apartments The intelligence was then conveyed to the Duke of Clarence, who was at the Guildhall. The Queen and the Princess Elizabeth determined to leave Bath as soon as possible. Claremont, Friday Evening 41 Prince Leopold has had little or no rest since Monday night, when the Princess was first taken; fact, his truly distressed state of mind will not admit of his taking rest, having lost all his earthly comfort in tiie most affectionate < tnd endearing of consorts.— His Serene Highness is, under all the circumstances, as well as can be expected. u The opening of the Princess's body, for embalm ing, has just taken place by Sir Everaid Home, Sir David Dundas, Surgeons to the King, and Mr. Neville, of E^ her, Surgeon to the Princess Charlotte and Prince Leopold : Mr. Brand, of Arlington- street, the Apothecary to the King, was also present." " Claremont, Saturday Morning, 9 o Clock. " After the embalming of the body of the Princess Charlotte, yesterday afternoon, by the King's Serjeant Surgeon, and Mr. Neville, her Royal Higbness's Surgeon, the internal parts were deposited in an urn, prepared for that purpose." The interment of the lamented Princess will be in the Royal cemetry, at Windsor, the Board of Works, of course, directing the ceremony. By the lamented death of the Princess Charlotte, his Serene Highness the Prince of Saxe- Cebourg, the melancholy survivor of his better hopes and brilliant prospects, will enjoy an annuity of a£ 50, OOO a year, in pursuance of the marriage settlement. The amiable Princess was in her 22d year. She was born on the 7th of January, 1796, and married 16th May, 1815. The following more recent particulars of the lamented Death of tke Princess Charlotte, are extracted Jrom the NEWS. Since writing the above, we are enabled, from accounts transmitted in a moment of less confusion, to add a few particulars, and to make some corrections in those we have already detailed. In the first place, we are authorised to s. ftie, that her Royal Highness was not delivered with in>. truments, but by her own pains; that it was suspected, in the forenoon of Wednesday, that the infant was dead ; and that Sir R. Croft never quitted her Royal Highness for a longer space of time than ten minutes, from the commencement of her labour, till the fatal termination of her llness. We know the delicacy of the subject; we know that the weaknesses of human nature ( feminine nature) are not fit to be exposed to the eye, and that no rude hand should approach the veil that conceals them ; but we feel that the present is a case of public and national interest, which, if it does not justify, will excuse a liberty, that would be, under other circumstances, a reprehensible breach of deeorum. For fifty, one hours did fhis interesting and lamented Princess struggle in the pains of labour. During this time the Members of the Privy Couneil were in an adjoining room, and the Medical Gentlemen in attendance on her Royal Highness were in constant communication with them, reporting the progress of the case. When it was announced to them that the birth had taken place, but that the infant was still- born, great pleasure was expressed that it had come in the natural way, and that it had not been found necessary to employ extraordinary means. In fact, it had heen perfectly ascertained some time previous to the birth, that the child was dead. The infant was instantly conveyed into an adjoining room by the physicians, and the most approved means for assisting or restoring animation, among which is that of rubbing the body with salt and mustard, were resorted to, but without success. In fact, the child was dead before it entered the world, and God ajone could animate it. The experiment was, therefore, made in the anxiety to leave nothing undone, rather than with the hope or chance of any effect. The R> yal Mother, as has been already stated, bore the disappointment with fortitude and pious resignation. There is scarcely an instance of any female who had suffered such severe and protracted pain, appearing s<> well, as did her Royal Highness after the jirth. Her state appeared so highly favourable, that the Privy Counsellors left the house, and Doctors Baillie and Sims retired into an adjoining roorri, as did Prince Leopold. Sir R. Croft, however, did not leave her. Soon after twelve the fatal change took place— difficulty of respiration came on, and her chest was observed to heave with violence.— At this awful moment, and during the progress of her illness, ihe females at Claremont, who constituted he immediate society of her Royal Highness, were I Lady John T. i^' nne, and Mrs. Campbell. There was 1 also Mrs. Griffiths, the nurse, a woman accustomed to attend ladies of high rank in a similar situation, and, of course, of the highest character in her line— The other females were the subordinate and regular domestics of the establishment. The instant it was perceived that her Royal Highness felt these alarming symptoms, the Prince was immediately called up, and was soon at the bedside of his beloved consort. The two medical attendants from the next room instantly joined Sir R. Croft, and every remedy which their united skill coulddevise was sedulously applied. Her Royal Highness is stated to have remained sensible to the last minute of her life. She was taken with dangerous spasms about one o'clock ; upon ascertaining which. Doctor Baillie sent cfF an express to the Cabinet Ministers expressing his doubts with respect to the event. Prince Leopold remained by the bed- side the whole time, endeavouring, as much as possible, to disguise from bis suffering consort the grief and agony he felt at the unexpected turn that had taken place. Her Royal Highness, it is said, scarcely ever moved her eyes Irom the face of her beloved partner, extending her hand frequently to meet his— that hand which was, in one short hour, to be cold, insensible, and lifeless. About five minutes before her death, the Princess said to the medical attendants, " Is there any danger ?" They replied, that they requested her Royal Highness to compose herself. She breathed a gentle sigh and expired. The agony of Prince Leopold, at this moment, may perhaps be conceived— it cannot be adequately described. He has ever since appeared like a man bereft of all comfort, and the agony of his mind will not allow him to take his needful rest. He has declined the considerate offer of the Prince Regent to leave the imme diate scene of his affliction, and to take up his abode at Carlton- house. He purposes to attend the funeral in person. It will take place at Windsor, and be accom panied with the same solemn ceremonies as were observed when the late Princess Amelia was buried. The bodies of the mother and son will be deposited together in St. George's vault. The Dean of Windsor has been sent for, to give the necessary directions for preparin^ it. The day of interment is not yet fixed, but we suppose it will be very early, for persons have already been sent from the Lord Chamberlain's department to embalm the body ; it was opened for that purpose on Friday by Sir Everard Home, and Sir David Dundas. sergeant- surgeons, and by Mr. Brande, the apothecary to the King, in conjunction with Mr. Neville, surgeon to the household at Claremont. When the body was opened, the immediate cause of the death of tin's beloved Princess appeared. There was found in the pericardium ( the region of the heart) about two ounces of serum, or liquid matter, but how or when produced could not be ascertained ; and therefore, this lamented death can only be accounted for by presuming that the constitution was exhausted by severe and protracted pains, and nature sunk be neath the struggle. It is said that the Prince Regent has been extremely affected at the death of his daughter: he was seized with a slight fit of apoplexy, and was immediately cupped. The Queen left Bath on Saturday morning, and arrived at Windsor the same night. ORDER for COURT and GENERAL MOURNING. Lord Chamberlain's~ OJJice, November 7, 1817.

The Deputy Earl Marshal's Order for a General Mourning for her late Royal Highness the Princess Charlotte Augusta, daughter of his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, and consort of his Serene Highness the Prince Leopold of Saxe- Cobourg. These are to give public notice,— That it is expected, that upon the present most melancholy occasion of the death of her Royal Highness the Princess Charlotte Augusta, daughter of his Royal Highness , e Prince Regent, and consort of his Serene Highness the Prince Leopold of Saxe- Cobourg, all persons do put themselves into decent mourning— the said mourning to begin on Sunday next, the 9th inst. ( Signed) H. II. MOLYNEUX HOWARD, D. E. M. November 7, 1817. The unexpected death of the Princess Charlotte has induced the public to consider, with some degree of anxiety, the order of the succession to the crown. The Duke of York is at present the presumptive heir; ailing of children— his brothers are the next in regular succession. If they all die without lawful issue— the crown will next descend On the Queen Dowager of Wirtemberg— and her issue, if any— failing of that — on her sisters in succession. They all dying without issue— the Duke of Gloucester is the next heir— and his line failing, the children of tiie late Duke of Brunswick are the next. tionate domestics crossed the threshold of the hou^( j since the event they are now deploring. « The village cf Esher shows no abatement of af fliction. Every being there seems touched with sorrow and the only thing that gives evidence against the ide** of a total subversion of habits and feelings, is the rudi sound of the born as the coaches roll through the almost deserted village. The shutters of the windows are still closed, and even the doors of the little cottages, at which the children of healthy parents used j to be seen at play, no longer exhibit an interesting picture of rural simplicity; they are all closed, as i' an enemy was expected, or that darkness was the element of the physical, as it is of the moral world. " On Friday, Sir Everard Home arrived here, accompanied by Sir David Dur. das and Mr. Brande, by the direction of the Prince Regent, to embalm the body. The process occupied several hours, and was superintended by the King's Serjeant Surgeon, and Mr. Neville, her Royal Highness's surgeon. The internal parts were deposited in an urn. " Claremont, Sunday, Four o* Clock, P. M. " In consequence of the indisposed state of Prince Leopold, the following bulletins were issued on Friday, Saturday, and to day :— " November 7. " The Prince Leopold has had a bad night, but is more composed this morning." 4 * November 8. " The Prince had some sleep in the night, and is as well as can be expected this morning." " November 9. " The Prince Leopold had a calm night, and is this morning ratbei better than yesterday." " His Serene Highness walked out in the Park for a short time, attended by the Rev. Dr. Short. Yesterday the Duke of Cumberland arrived to pay a visit of condolence. His Royal Highness remained about two hours. In the evening early, Mr. Banting, jun. of the house of France and Banting, arrived to an nounce tbat it was necessary to commence the mournful preparations for the funeral. It was fixed that the emblems of mourning should enter by the back of the I house; and that every thing might be as private as ' possible, it was fixed that they should arrive at ten j o'clock, which was punctually observed : a hearse and four, with the coffins in it, followed by a mourning coach and 4 bearers to carry the coffins, arrived at the door. The bearers removed the coffins from the hearse, and were conducted to the bed- room, where the corpse of the much- beloved Princess lay, and having placed the coffins on tressels, retired. The mournful task of placing the body in the coffiin fell to the lot of Mr. Neville, the Princess's surgeon- extraordinary, and Mrs. Griffiths, the nurse, assisted by Mr. France, the undertaker. The inside coffin, in which her remains were deposited, is of mahogany, which is enclosed in a leaden coffin. The heart- rending proceeding was. witnessed by some of the principal attendants and Lord John Thynne, who were all, as well as those who were of necessity compelled to assist in the performance, overwhelmed wiih grief. Not a word was spoken, and every thing was conducted with'the greatest solemnity and regularity. " This morning, Prince Leopold attended divine service, which was performed by the Rev. Dr. Short. His Serene Highness was attended by his principal attendants and domestics. The Prince has taken very little refreshment since his irreparable loss; he, in fact, scarcely took any thing till yesterday. The Duke of York arrived to day in a single horse chaise, to pay his visit of condolence. The Duke of Gloucester followed soon afterwards, in a carriage and four, and remained a considerable time." On Sunday a most impressive sermon, in consequence of the melancholy death of her Royal Highness the Princess Charlotte, was delivered in the Abbey, by the Very Rev. the Dean of Westminster, from James i. 12. " Blessed is the man that enduielh affliction, for he shall receive a crown of life." Similar discourses were delivered in the various churches and chapels in the Metropolis. The pulpits in the Abbey and other churches were covered with black. 41 Claremouc, Saturday Evening. " The bulletin at Claremont Lodge this day, upon the subject of Prince Leopold's health, was—' The Prince Leopold has had a bad night, but is more composed this morning.*— Upon rising yesterday morning, which he did at a very early hour, long before daylight, after a sleepless and agitated night, he orderptf that £ 50 should be distributed amongst the poor workmen who had been employed in the improvements on the grounds. This was almost the only instance since the calamity, upon which he showed himself capable of allowing any thought to meddle with the overwhelming sense of his I 0 3 S . The servants to whom the direction was given, through his Highness's physician, were not very well able to put it into execution, and it was the first occasion upon which one of tbov affec- From the London Courier of Monday last. The body of the Princess Charlotte has be « n embalmed, and deposited in one coffin. The child has been deposited in another coffin. This was done on Saturday evening. How sad and silent a ceremony this was, we may well conceive. Every one of the attendants was dissolved in tears. Some there were who but that day- week had seen her take her accustomed airing, with her beloved consort by her side, full of life, and health, and joy— and now! We must Vepeat, that the Princess was never, from the moment of her being ' aken in labour to the moment of her dissolution, left without medical attend ants. After the delivery, when her Royal Highness was supposed to be doing extremely well, Sir Richard Croft was inside the chamber, whilst Dr. Baillie and Dr. Sims were in the next room, ready at a moment's notice : and here it is proper to contradict a statement in one piper, which asserts that artificial means were employed to bring the infant into the world. There s no foundation whatever for this statement. All the Royal Family continue in the deepest affliction. The Prince Regent is more particularly weighed down by the blow that has left him childless. His Royal Highness went to his mother at Windsor yesterday, and their interview was of the most affecting kind. It WHS his wish to have set off for Claremont, to see Prince Leopo d, but he was advised for berth their sakes to delay the visit for a day or two.— Hie Dukes of York, and Cumberland, and Gloucester iiave heen to Claremont. In the great number of country papers we have received this morning, there is the same tone of grief — In every town all amusements have been suspended— all public meetings postponed, except for the celebration . of divine worship. We have inserted several accounts from different parts of the country. It h proposed to have divine service performed in all of them on the day of the funeral. Our history furnishes no event similar to this calamitous occurrence. Henry VII. lost his eldest son/ Arthur, at the age of 19, a few months after his marriage with the Infanta, Catherine, who was afterwards married to Henry, his brother, ( Henry VIII.) arid subsequently divorced. Jane Seymour, the wife of Henry VIII. died two days after the birth of a son ; but the son survived, and succeeded his Father. Jame the First lost his eldest son, but he had another, the ill- fated Charles. i f I . ^ . . y - .... •;-.--- -". - " • -••-• ^ NOV. 11. T H E L I V E R P O O L M E R C U R Y. 155 From the Morning Chronicle of Monday.— The public mind continues overwhelmed by the sad occurrence which has blasted all our hopes; and every new circumstance that is related serves to aggravate their sorrow. Nothing was discovered by the inspection of the body to account for the demise of her Royal Highness. Tbe small quantity of serum found on the pericardium not accounting for it; so that it must have arisen from the exhaustion of the royal patient, under a period of labour so lingering. It was from the first anticipated, by Sir Richard Croft, that the labour would be protracted; and on Tuesday morn- < ng, he wrote to Dr. Sims, of Guilford- street, to come to Clarensont, to assist in consultation, if artificial means should be judged necessary.— But this letter was not dispatched till nine o'clock in the evening of that day : and, consequently, that able and most experienced accouchuer did not arrive till two o'clock on Wednesday morning. It is lamentable to think, that the confinement of Princess, upon whose life and Compendium of Weekly Intelligence, FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC. SPEECH OF HIS MAJESTY LOUIS X V I I I.

Surely, the paternal roof, or Buckingham- house, or some other suitable mansion in town might have been assigned to the Princess for the time ; or if Claremont was preferred, it ought to have occurred, that a second physician should have been previously resident to familiarize her R. H. to his sight, since in that case they might have hoth assisted in the perilous moment. By the arrangement which was made, we now learn from Claremont. I that though Dr, S I M S was there all Wednesday for the I purpose of consultation, he was not called into tbe chamber at any period of the labour, nor at the delivery. Perhaps as he had not been introduced to her; Royal Highness before- hand, it was thought that the appearance of a stranger might alarm and discompo- e her. We have no doubt but that every thing was done for the best at the time • but the preparations were not made with sufficient regard to the unexampled importance of the case. We ought not to be deterred by delicacy from saying, that, through the whole course of the pregnancy, her Royal Highness | ought to have had the society of some lady or ladies of rank and experience, chosen by herself, who from ihe confidence reposed in them by the Prineess, might I have influence in directing the proper treatment to be observed : we need not remind our readers, that even the ladies of her household were wot left to her own choice. Great pains were taken by Dr. Sims and Dr. Bail- I lie to re- animate the child, for which purpose it was conveyed to them in an adjoining apartment, but all their efforts were ineffectual, and it appeared probable that it had been dead for some hours before delivery. Though loag delayed, every thing looked favourably til! the shivering came, and spasms came on. Dr. Sims and Dr. Baillie were then called into the hamber, but it was the will of God that human skill hould not avail. Claremont, Monday, 4 o'clock, p. m. The following bulletin was issued to- day respecting I Prince Leopold's health : — " Nov. 10.— His Serene Highness the Prince Leopold has passed rather a calm night, and is something better this morning. " C. STOCKMAR." The signature attached to it, is that of his Serene Highness's resident Physician, who accompanied him to England, and who has constantly resided with the Prince since. The Duchess of York arrived hero yesterday evening, from the Oatiands, to pay a visit of condolence. Visconnt Castlereagh arrived here this morning, soon after ten o'clock, to pay a visit of condolence.— The Noble Viscount remained but a short time. The inquiries after the state of, Prince Leopold increase daily. The mahogany coffin, in which the remains of the lamented Princess Charlotte are deposited, is lined with white satin, elegantly trimmed ; the bolster and pillow are covered with white satin : the whole is fitted up and ornamented with great elegance. From the London Courier of Tuesday. This day week is fixed forthe funeral of the Prin I cess Charlotte and her babe. It will take place at night. The bodies will lie in state at Windsor, in the same spot where the late Princess Amelia lay in state, Augusta Lodge. Prince Leopold will be the chief mourner. All the Royal Dukes will attend tbe funeral. The Prince Regent, as exercising the functions of Sovereignty, cannot be present. All tlie Cabinet Ministers will assist at the mournful ceremony. It is said, that in every church and chapel throughout the Empire Divine Service will be performed— and that awful and sublime part which constitutes the Funeral Service, be read.-— We observe, that theshuting up of the shops of the metropolis is now almost general. The short notice of the general mourning, i appearing only in the Gazette of Saturday, and the mourning beginning on Sunday, prevented its being so general on Sunday and yesterday as it is at present — and the fatal catastrophe came withsuch suddenness upon us! A distinguishing feature ofthe present general mourning is the wearing of crape in a great, number of men's hats, in the same manner as is worn or the loss of the nearest and dearest relative. We rive no doubt but the wearing of it will be universal. We have intelligence from every part of England, and \ in every part it has produced the same effect— a deep and overw helming . sorrow.

" GENTLEMEN,— At the opening of the last session, I spoke to you of tbe hopes inspired by the marriage of the Duke de Berry. Though Providence have too suddenly withdrawn the the gift it bestowed, yet, we behold in it assurances of the futnre accomplishment of our wishes. " The treaty with the Holy See, which I mentioned last year has since been concluded. I have desired my ministers, in communicating it to you, to propose the projet of a law, necessary to give the legislative sanction to such of its conditions as may be susceptible of and to make it in unison with the charter, the laws the kingdom, and those privileges of the Gallican church, the precious inheritance of our fathers, of which St. Louis and all his successors were no less jealous than of the happiness of their subjects. " The harvest of 1816, by its deficiencies, frustrated in a great degree, my hopes. The sufferings of my people have afflicted my heart, I have, however, beheld with emotion, that almost every where they have endured them with a degree of touching fortitude ; and if, in some places, they have broken out into seditious acts, order was soon re established. In order to mitigate the misfortunes of that period, I have found it necessary to make great efforts, and extraordinary pecuniary sacrifices. The details will be presented to you, and the zeal with which you are animated for the public good, will not permit me to doubt that these unforeseen expenses will have your sanction. The harvest of this year is more satisfactory; but, on the other hand, some local calamities, and the blights which have fallen upon the vineyards, excite my paternal solicitude for privations which, without your co- operation, I cannot relieve. " 1 have ordered that the budget of the current charges should be submitted to you. If the expenses resulting from treaties, and from the deplorable war they have terminated, will not permit any immediate diminution of the taxes voted in preceding sessions, I have at least the satisfaction of thinking, that the economy I have prescribed will preclude the necessity of any augmentation, and that a vote of credit, inferior to that of the last session, will suffice for all the wants of the year. The conventions which I signed in 1815, presenting results which could r. ot then be foreseen, have rendered a new negociation necessary. Every thing leads me to hope, that its issue will be favourable, and that conditions far above our means, will be succeeded by others more conformable to equity, to moderation, and to the possibility of sacrifices, which my people sup' port with a constancy that can add nothing to my love for them, but which gives them new claims to my gratitude, and to the esteem of all nations. " Thus, as I had the happiness of announcing to you in the course of last session, the expenses arising from the Army of Occupation are diminished a fifth, and the period is not far distant, when we may be permitted to hope, thanks to the wisdom and energy of my government! to the love and confidence of my people ! and to the friendship of my Allies ! that those expenses will entirely cease; and that our country will resume among nations the rank and renown due to the valour of Frenchmen, and their noble character in adversity. " To attain this end, I shall more than ever require an unanimity between the people and tbe throne; that vigour, without which authority is powerless. In proportion as that authority is strong, will be the diminished necessity of its becoming austere. The manner in which the depositories of my power have used what the laws have entrusted to them, justifies my confidence. However, I feel great satisfaction in announcing to you, that I do not consider it requisite to continue the Prevotal courts beyond the term fixed for their existence by the law which created them. " I have digested, conformably to the Charter, a law for recruiting. I wish that no privileges should be sought; that the spirit and dispositions of that charter, our true compass, which calls all Frenchmen indiscriminately to offices and employments, should wot be illusory, and that the soldier should find no other limit to his honourable career, than those of his talents and of his services. If the execution of this salutary lawshould demand aa augmentation of the budget of the War Minister, you, as the interpreters of the sentiments of . my people, will not hesitate to sanction arrangements which secure to France that independence and that dignity, without which there can be neither king nor nation. " I have detailed to you our difficulties, and the measures they will require: in conclusion, I shall direct your attention to objects of a more engaging description.— Thanks to the peace restored to the church of France! religion, chat eternal basis of all felicity, even on earth, will, I doubt not, flourish among us; tranquility and confidence begin to reappear; public credit is strengthening itself; agriculture, commerce, and industry resume their activity ; new masterpieces of art excite admiration. One of my children is traversing, at this moment, a part of the kingdom, and in return for sentiments so deeply engraven on his heart, and manifested by his conduct, he is every where greeted with benedictions ; while I, who have but one feeling, the happiness of my people, who am desirous, for their good alone, of that authority which I shall defend from all attacks, of whatever kind, I know that I am beloved by them, and I find in my heart, the assurance that this consolation will never be denied to me." ham, our political agent at Hydrabad, attacked a body of 2,000 insurgent Mahrattas, under the command of Godiiajee Row, nephew to Trimbuckshee. The enemy, though strongly posted, with a fortress on their right, and in front a rivulet, broke and fled at the first charge conducted by Capt. Davies, leaving 200 dead on the field of battle, besides a great number of wounded. The Mahrattas having left the frontier, the detachment of the Nizam's cavalry was recalled by Capt. Sydenham to Arungabad. The second action referred to in the Supplement to the Gazette, was that between Major Smith, of the subsidiary force of Poonah, and another body of horse likewise in the service of Trimbuckshee. Major Smith had under his orders six companies of Sepoy foot, of the Bombay and Madras establishments, with which he undertook the extraordinary enterprise of jnirsuing a corps of upwards of four thousand Mahratta or Pindarree cavalry, whom he overtook after a march of one hundred and fifty miles, in the short space of four days ; of which distance Major Smith and his admirable detachment actually traversed forty one miles during the twenty- four hours preceding his engagement with and defeat of the enemy. The British officer came upon the insurgents by surprise, before day break, on the 17th of April. He planned his attack in three divisions, and the enemy fled after the first volley, with the loss of about 70 killed and wound ed. This success was happily accomplished without the loss, on our side, of a single man. The corps thus beaten by Major Smith subsequently formed a juiic tion with that which had been so roughly bandied by the troops under Captain Davies ; and the united force was afterwards met and defeated by one of the Peshwa's officer's, who reports that he captured on the occasion about 500 horses. The Peishwa has surrendered the forts of Rygbur, Singhur, and Poorunder; and has issued a proclamation for tke appprehension of Trimbucksbee and his adherents. EXECUTION O F J E R E M I A H B R A N D R E T H , W I L L I AM T U R N E R , A N D I S A A C L U D L A M , Derby, Friday, Nov 7.— Before we detail the circumstances that attended the last awful scene of the distressing drama which ignorance, delusion, and disconteut have lately exhibited in this place, we beg leave to mention a few particulars of the conduct of the wretched victims of the law on the day preceding the execution, Brandreth latterly spoke less favourably of his trial than he had done at first. He was heard occasionally to mutter, " Oliver has brought me to this*' But for Oliver, I should not have been here." On Thursday morning, the Rev. Mr. Pickering said to him, that it was well known where Oliver was for several days before the insurrection, and that it could be proved he was not with him. He mode no reply. He was then asked, how he came to engage in such an enterprise ? He said he would answer no questions of that kind, and begged that he should not be troubled with any. The Clergyman asked him if he felt no dread of death that was now so near ? He replied coolly, " I feel no dread." He afterwards prayed in the hearing of the Clergyman, who remarked to him, that he expressed no contrition for the murder he had committed. He said he felt no contrition on that subject. Thus he continued ready to join in any act of religion, insensible of any remorse, and proof against all fear. On the morning of execution, Ludlam and Turner looked wan and spiritless. They passed the night in prayer and psalm- singing; and when the Chaplain joined them at nine o'clock, they continued to pray aloud until the moment of immediate preparation ariived.— Brandreth slept as usual, rose in good spi rits, and showed no signs of despondency. A t a quar ter past twelve, the hurdle was drawn up. It was a very simple machine, formed of a few boards, nailed upon two long beams. Brandreth came out first, and while placing hijnself on the hurdle said, " some one hold me, lest I fall off." A man held him whilst the horse was driven slowly round the yard he nodded to the several prisoners as he passed along. Turner was next drawn on the hurdle : when he came close by the other prisoners, they all screamed and wept most bitterly. When Isaac Ludlam was placed on the hurdle, he clasped his hands, and raised a fervent look towards heaven : the prisoners cried out more bitterly. On the scaffold Brandreth looker coolly around upon the spectators, and in a loud and firm voice said, " God be with you all and Lord £ astlereagh." IJe stood resolute and silent while the executioner adjusted the rope round his neck. Turner came out next, and advanced with unusual firmness of step. While the executioner was putting the rope round his neck, he exclaimed loudly and dis tinctlv," This is all Oliver and ihe Government." The Chaplain at this moment came in front of these two, and prevented any further observations. Isaac Ludlam came out last, and, when the rope, was applied to bis neck, devoutly said, " I receive thjs at the hand of the Lord;" then raising his voice to a louder pitch, he prayed. They all repeated the Lord's prayer very distinctly, and immediately afterwards the drop fell. Brandreth appeared perfectly composed during the whole time. He held a black silk handkerchief ( the same which he had worn at the trial, and which had just been taken from his neck) in his clasped hands while at their last devotions. This he held exactly in the same manner after life forsook his frame. He dropped quite still, and seemed dead at once. His heard, which remained untouched, looked very frightful from underneath the white cap that was drawn off his face. Turner, too, seemed sufficiently, firm in his last moments, and died quietly. Lurflam, while pray East Indies.— A Supplement to the Gazette was ing immediately before ihe drop fell, was visibly agi^ published on Wednesday se'nnight, containing copies j tated, and seemed to die with much pain, . for he was full view of the beople ; the scaffold not being more that j ten feet from the ground. The executioner raised the axe and struck at the neck with all his force. A that instant there was a burst of horror from the crowd. The executioner then took up the head, and holding it by the hair, addressed the people—" Behold the head of Jeremiah Brandreth the traitor." Hitherto the multitude had been quiet and motionless. The instant tlie head was exhibited, there was a tremendous shriek set up, and they ran violently in all directions, as if under the impulse of sudden phrenzy. Those that resumed their stations groaned and hooted. The javelin- men and constables were all in motion, and a few dragoons, who had been stationed at both ends of the street, drew nearer with drawn swords. But all became immediately calm. Very few of the immense multitude now remained, and these looked quietly on, while the heads of Turner and Ludlam were successively exhibited in tbe same way. The | heads and bodies were then thrown into the coffins, and all spectators dispersed. The bodies, without | being stripped, and, in fact, without any further ceremony, were convpyed to St. Werburg's Church, at j at the back of which, one deep grave was dug, and the criminals deposited in it: Brandreth at the bottom, j and Turner and Ludlam above him. The crowd was excessive. There was no burial service. Paris papers to the 7th have arrived. They contain the speech of the King on the opening of the session of the Chambers on Wednesday. No other busines » was done, except administering, in the presence of his Majesty, the oath to the newly elected Deputies. The Chambers were to meet again on Saturday last. The trial of the alleged conspirators, at Lyons, terminated on tbe 5rd inst. The details of it are not given, but from the result the charges appear to have nearly evaporated in the course of the process. Only one of the individuals accused has been sentenced to death; and he is recommended to mercy; eight were condemned to different terms of imprisonment, three placed under surveillance, and sixteen, including the Marchioness de Lavalette, were acquitted.

L. B A H R , Broker. Mk E SMITH and Co. beg leave to inform the Mer- , chants and Masters of Vessels, that the advantages of their Patent are as follows :— The lamp, or candle, which lights the Binacle, is placed in the cabin ; saving one entire light, and all the inconveniences of blowing out on a squally night, and tbe trouble of trimming the lamp, avoided. If com. mon care be taken, the lamp is not subject to smoke ; and will burn the whole night without fresh trimming. II. The identical compass, by which the helmsman is steering upon deck, is at the same time plainly visible in tbe cabin; thereby enabling the Captain to have a constant, check upon the steersman. III. Though the light thrown upon the Patent Compass is milder and better than usual, yet the Binacle shows no light overboard ; so that the vessel cannot be traced by an enemy in the night. IV. A Binnacle of one- third of the usual dimensions, with one chamber, is from this plan found to answer every useful purpose of those of the ordinary size, with three chambers. V. The Binacle is so constructed, that no rain, snow, or spray of the sea can enter it. VI. The Compass is so constructed, that the Card cannot be unshipped by the violent motion of tbe vet. sel or by firing of the cannon. VII. The first cost of these Binacles and Compasses will be saved in two or three voyages. The above invention having met with the unqualified approbation of nautical men, and now being in very general use in several of the finest vessels, of this and other ports, including the greater part of those lately built, several of which have made many voyages; E. Smith and Co. are enabled to give references, which will be more satisfactory than any thing they might offer in favour of their own invention.

Substitute for Coffee.— M.

Mr. L. left the scene of dissention rather suddenly, and returned in a tew minutes with two jockey whips, which" he had in the mean time purchased, and requested Mr. B.' s acceptance of one, i as it was his intention to use . the other as an instrument of flagellation, unless an apology was made by Mr. B. for the opprobrious i language he had uttered. The latter gentleman refusing to apologize, they agreed to decide the difference in the above named place, in the presence of a few friends.

THE GREAT SEA SERPENT. ( From the New York Evening Post, October 5) « From the Boston Centin*!, Oct. 1. tc The Sea Serpent.— In tbe following articles we have additional and irrefragable evidence of the existence of the aquatic, or amphibious animal which has recently been the subject of much conversation :— 44 Letter from the Hon Lonson Nash, F. R. S. to the Hon. David Humphreys, of this town. " Gloucester, ( Sabbath evening.) Sept. 28, 1817. 44 Dear Sir— I have the pleasure' of informing you, that Captain John Beach, of this place, has in his possession a young serpent, that was yesterday killed on the sea shore here, which we have no doubt is pne of the young of the American mammoth serpent, that has lately visited our harbour ; and which justly excited your curiosity and attention. He was killed near Thatcher's Island, and was making for the sea, when discovered ; and was 12 o< r 14 feet only from the sea, when killed. He is about three feet and an half in length, and in the largest part perhaps three inches in circumference; and has 52 distinct bunches on his back. His upper jaw is entire, and his eyes and nostrils have not been injured. 1 would describe him more minutely, but presume you will soon see him. Respectfully, Sir, your most obedient, 44 LONSON NASH. 44 Gen. Humphreys. 46 ANSWER. 44 Boston, Sept. 29. <{ Dear Sir— I arrived in town, from New York, opportunely to receive your very obliging letter respecting the progeny of the serpent of the ocean, and hasten to offer my best thanks for your very interesting information. y I flatter myself that you will hereafter learn, that I have not been deficient in expressing my sense of obligations for your kind and able assistance, in collecting and ascertaining facts on this curious subject of natural history. To your exertions, I consider, the philosophical part of the community more indebted than to those of any other person ; and I cannot refrain from particularly repeating my testimony of that important service. 44 In four communications which I have already made to the President of the Royal Society in London, I think I have succeeded, with your aid, to demonstrate the existence of this heretofore non- descript animal. The capture of this young aquatic monster will complete the series of evidence, by becoming a valuable acquisition to the stock of knowledge in zoology, and for ever putting an end to the sarcasms and scoffs of the incredulous. In the mean time, I wait with impatiehce his arrival, and pray you to be persuaded of the sentiments of great regard and esteem with which I remain your sincere friend and humble servant, 44 D. HUMPHREYS. 44 Hon. Lonson Nash, Gloucester, { Cape Ann). 44 P. S. In one of my letters to Sir Joseph Banks, I have expressed a belief, that two animals of the same species have been seen in your harbour, on account of the rings discovered on the neck of one, and not of the other of tbem. I understand there are seme fishermen, who accidently came within a few feet of the SERPENT LAST SEEN in Gloucester Bay, and who are ready to testify they saw those beforementioned whitish coloured bands round the neck, so distinctly, that they could not be mistaken. In this case, it is more than probable, there have been a male and female, of full growth, on our coast. It would be extremely desirable for me to be informed of all the circumstances which attended the capture of the young one; particularly, whatever has any relation to his character, temper, and movement. 44 D. H. A ; " The president of the Linncean Society ( Judge Davis) has also received a letter from the Hon. Lonson Nash, announcing the capture of this spawn. He informs, that in killing it, the under jaw was broken ; but that the upper jaw, with the eyes, & c. are perfect. — It has been preserved in spirits, and will be sent to this town. 44 We have received a polite note from John Kittridge, Esq. of Gloucester, communicating similar particulars to the above. 44 Another letter to the editor says, 4 A young snake was taken yesterday, by a Mr. Col bey, and others, in Lob- lolly Cove, near Thatcher's Island, where the monster of the seas has been often seen. They were so much afraid of him at first, that they used more violence in killing him than was necessary ; and have very much bruised his head. They might, by wounding him, have taken him alive. He is now preserved in spirits; and furnishes the most ample confirmation of the existence of the Sea Serpent; and fully justifies the confidence which the Centinel has uniformly maintained of its existence, size, form, and properties.' 44 Another letter says, 4 I have now in my house one of the children of the Serpent, or the Devil; for, in all my travels on land and sea, I have never seen any snake like this one.' 44 Other particulars.— At about four inches from the head of this infant serpent, is a rising proturberance, which is succeeded, until within four inches of the end of the tail, by thirty- one others. His back is of a brownish colour, with scales ; his belly cream- colour, and straight. The cove in which he was discovered is near the light- house on Thatcher's Island. He was on the beach, making his way to the water, when discovered by two boys, who called their father, and they all succeeded in killing him among the rocks and sea weed. - The last time the adult serpent was seen was near this cove. It is conjectured she deposited her spawn in the sand of this beach— that this has been hatched, and vvas seeking the water when discovered and killed. 44 Mr. Beach arrived in town last evening, with the infant serpent. •- 4 We learn from Gloucester, that the persons who killed the young serpent were Messrs. Colbey and Norwood " A correct copy of a notice which was affixed to ihe gate of a field of turnips, belonging, to a wealthy farmer, near Penzince, from whence tbe original has been sent to us:— Take Notes that thear is Man Traps an Spikes are Soat In Those Turnap's If aney parson Is Cac/ U Steling or Puling up turnups From this ground Shall Admeggently Be Talcin up and Sent to geaill, And talc the Punishment of the law." O r i g i n a l , p. ( Continued. from our former Numbers.) T O T H O M A S R E N W I C K , M. D. D E A R SIR, In the Appendix to your Narrative of the case of Miss Margaret M'Avuy, you have published the statement ( which originally appeared in the Liverpool Mercury, Sept. 5) lo which, for reasons assigned in the concluding paragraph, my signature was affixed. I Should have preferred uri nam Je guerre upon the present occasion, had you not accompanied the statement alluded to, with a comment or qualification, which only leaves me the alternative of lesuming the subject in my own name, or of tacitly acquiescing in an imputation of inconsistency, which, I presume to think, attaches rather to yourself than to me, upon this occasion. The observations with which you have prefaced my itatement, in your Appendix, are as follow : — 11 Mr. Egerton Smith has expressed a wish, that the memoranda respecting Miss M'Avoy, published in the Liverpool Mercury of the 5th ultimo, should be inserted with the other letters in the Appendix, lest it should be supposed that be believed in the powers ascribed lo her. It gives me pleasure to comply with Mr. E. Smith's request. I have no wish to gain a single proselyte to my opinion, unless he be convinced of the fact; but I can scarcely avoid thinking, that the proof Mr. E. Smith has given of Miss M'Avoy's powers, in ^ ^ his own presence, and at the time, to tbe apparent conviction of his own mind, will have more weight 1 with Ihe public, than the bare assertion of his ' MB disbelief of them, founded upon the opinion of j other individuals.'*— Dr. Renwick's Narrative— ' llilii Appendix, page 9. ( Before I proceed to shew, that there is no discrepance between my testimony and my convictions, ( as the words, just quoted, seem to imply) I ought to explain my motive for the wish that my letter should * appear at full length in your account of Miss M'Avoy. 1 In the capacity of printer of your Narrative, I oc- ' casionally cast my eye over the work, in ils progress j under the hands of the pressmen; and saw, by mere ® chance, that my name was introduced in pages 18,19, ' and 20, in a manner calculated to produce convictions, not at all in unison with Ihose which the experiments, there related, had produced on my own mind;— and as I felt asssured, that a perusal of the whole of my fin letter would efface the impression, likely to be made raj by this ex- parte statement, I conceived it but fair, jm that you should publish the letter entire. Ill In that letter, I confined myself to the simple and wl scrupulous relation of facts; neither suggesting any ' em theory of my own, nor countenancing that of any M other person. I had seen Miss M' Avoy decipher very ' c J minute print, and other objects, in a light, wherein I « could barely discern the leaves of a book. With a ? gj bandage over her eyes, through which, when applied lr 5 0 to mine, I could not ascertain the difference between 19 noon and midnight, I saw the same young lady deter- . § 9 mine accurately, tbe colours of cloth, ribands, glass, and 6' Ml other substances; and also peruse writing and printed wj books. All these unaccountable feats I saw with | i astonishment, and recorded with fidelity: but it cer- in | S tainly does not follow, as a matter of course, that, w M because I could not comprehend how they were in ev TjJ reality effected, I must necessarily believe they were the ce H results of touch. If you, my dear Sir, should witness KB the extraordinary performance of the Indian Jugglers, M in company with a friend, and should publish an exact wl | H account of tbe wonders you had witnessed ; and if a? jfl your friend should afterwards take it into his head to te Sj write a book, to prove that their legerdemain was H performed by the agency of the devil; and quote your cn jji detail of tbe performance, in support of this, his fa- H vourite theory ;— I think you would neither justify the " li M logical accuracy of his inferences, nor the propriety M of this personal appeal to your facts, in support of • his hypothesis. Pe IB I am not a little at a loss to discover how you, my se( 19 dear Sir, could, either by implication, or more directly, JS press into the already crowded ranks of the believers, tcl jjj a person, who, in the very letter to which you refer " ri ffl for your proofs, had recently expressed himself in the "' • M following heterodox style :—" I could not account for u what I had seen, cxce. pt on the supposition that Miss wa 9 M'Avjy wis NOT BLIND ; but hud some secret mode oj ', a1 jn discerning an object," — and again, " I never could ( IU1 ra divest myself of the impression, that the eye was in some ul" ja way or other concerned in these mysteries." cov M As it is far beyond the reach of my ingenuity, I en( M - hall leave it lo yours, to shew, how such an unequivo • J cally expressed distrust of the faculty ascribed to Miss ', re M M'Avoy can have more weight with the public, in s t ai « persuading them into a belief of the same faculty, UP( f than my bare assertion of my doubts, founded ( as you ' e tt i are pleased to have it) upon the opinions of other in I fl dividuals. req a My doubts, which, I assure you, are as sincere wlii 1 as 1 believe your own faith to be, are not, as you coil H fancy, founded upon the opinions of any one. I am whi 5 free indeed to confess, that the accounts given by a v< a others of the results of their interviews with Miss » isii H M'Avoy, have hud no small share in confirming the or r I suspicions I uniformly entertained, alter my first or of t R second visit. * of i a It was my intention to have detailed at lenglh, wit! 6 some of the following instances of notorious failure on qua: . the part of the young lady, when I was informed that the the same task had been undertaken by a gentleman she weil qualified for the office, who, a- s I am told, is pre- plac paring a pamphlet on tbe subject; tor which reason I sum shall confine myself to a mere sketch of what will C. h probably appear to you an unfavourable picture, leaving upoi the outline to be filled up, shaded, coloured, and ' ace finished by the hand of another. ' obsc You, who have entered the field of controversy, under whil the'banner, inscribed " Amicus Plato, amicus Socrates, takii setl mavis arnica Veritas," will not startle at the motto, the " Audi alter em partem." and Sterling truth, like sterling gold, s enhanced in ( she 2 worth by the severest tests, which would consume her i what is of less intrinsic value ;— and this young virgin, | nami if pure and genuine, will emerge from the critical U| crucible, like tbe virgin ore, from that of the chemist, j visit more admirable than before.— I have hit upon this! paint metaphor, as the best excuse I could offer for thejamat apparently ungalant and recreant office of entering j lady, l 1 • lists in array against a female ;— l » i » t as I challenge it io her champions, with the view of clearing up the reputation of the damsel, I shall take the field, sans peur if sans reproche. In the Liverpool Mercury, published Oct. 24, tho ; friends of this Miss M'Avoy were advised to " sum- j mon up all their philosophy, to meet a scrutiny, much more strict, and infinitely less ceremonious, than any which has hitherto appearedand you, very candidly, / e in the course of your Narrative, invite discussion upon pub- the subject, in the following terms:—"/ am," you d observe, " merely the historian of her case, not the adrea- vocate of imposture; and if any evidence can be ad- S, S' vanced that she can sec, which is tetter than what I have nom produced of her blindness, I shall not hesitate to retract not an opinion, which has not been founded upon slight nent grounds, nor without the due consideration the subject alive demands." citly This encouragement from yourself; as well as the uch, evident propriety of the most ample investigation of 1 than a subject, which must either merit our admiration or ! contempt; render apology superfluous from those who 1 my after so much has been said in favour of the extraor- ' dinary pretensions of Miss M'Avoy, think it high ' t j i a t time to hear the evidence on the other side of the • 3l, b- question. . 1 Ll] tj Before I proceed briefly to record the suspicious 5 1 the s y m P t o m s to which I have before alluded, it may be 1 proper to notice, what strikes me as a most palpable { , m e inconsistency, between the theory of tbe young lady * lest herself, at one time; and her practice, at another. 1 * It is well known to those who have been in the but ^ abit VI< 5 » ting her, and indeed your own Narrative, i1 jyjr my dear Sir, admits, that the interposition of any c | n* obstacle between her face and the objeet of her re- a rent searL'h » entirely deprives her of the ( acuity to which f iffbt c' a ' m* was necessary to explain a circum- ii stance, so likely to excite a suspicion that she derived P a c f her knowledge from the sight, rather than the touch; s and it was accordingly given out, by herself, that a 1 free and uninterrupted communication between her ti hands and her breath was absolutely indispensible. ft Vas Soon after this convenient arrangement, she began, [( ex- however, to assume powers completely at variance uld t' u s condition ; and either effected, or affected, n wonders, which, in my former letter, I took the liberty ta Qc'_ to characterise as truly preposterous— It will be suf- tc e s s ficient to my present purpose, to select the following n' e r e specimens from your own Narrative, pages 68 and 11 19 78 , ns' " With her hands placed B E H I N D her, upon the winlts' dow opposite to the communion end of the church, m( j she told thefigures of different people passing : and sometimes named the colour of the clothes$< » .— , de VW6 8 - ljr " She soon afterwards told a purple flower B E H I ND ' her; a light yellow, a marygold, and a small pincushion of red cloth UNDER a white handkerchief laying upon her knee— Page 78. " J In these marvellous feats, unparallc led in the his- > rv tory worM> there could be no communication * j between her hands and her breath ; which before, acj a cording to her own reiterated assertion, was a locality ccj indispensible to her successful performance;— a sine e n 1ua noni ' n default of which the " faculty uniformly ; r left her." If there be not a most palpable iuconncj siitency in this circumstance, I must have mistaken — ecj the meaning of consistency. ith I now proceed briefly to narrate a few, out of many ! r. instances of entire failure on the part of Miss M'Avoy, att which contain very strong presumptive, if not direct, in evidence, that " the eye is in some way or other con- j he cerned in these mysteries." i , ss The candour evinced throughout your Narrative rg forbids me to suspect, for a moment, that you would jef lCl wilfully suppress any circumstance which militates 0, if against your theory;— and yet there is a most ma- t0 terial fact omitted, in your description i> f what oc- p0 « a s curred, Sept. 12.—[ See Narrativey page 81.] As this sj) C j r circumstance may have escaped your recollection, I j} y shall relate it, upon the very best authority, which l e that of Dr. Taylor himself, whose presence you notice for ty a' o n g vvith that of the Iiev. John Yates, the lie v. Titos. Belsham, and others; when the following ex- , t v periment was tried, which I expect to see in your eac second edition : — Dr. Taylor borrowed, from one of san Y the gentlemen present, a walking cane, upon the silver |) ej, g' top of which was a large letter ( or cypher) deeply en- pOS J graved. He presented this cawe to Miss M'Avoy, ' e in an horizontal position, with the ferrule towards 3CC1 t r her, and, of course, the top from her, in such a j) et, way, that had she possesed sight, she could not wat , have seen the aforementioned letter. Upon being re- ancj ^ quired to describe this cane, she immediately decided ver e upon its colour— and, with as little hesitation, dis- ( r| aj covered, that the metal which surrounded the upper yeri I end was silver;— she could make nothing, however, of j, er the name- piece; but soon after, the same cane was j, an s presented to her in an upright position, when she in- ancj 1 stantly declared, that there was a large B engraved jts s upon the top; which was as true as that B is the fir, st jn „ ^ letter of Belsbam. fu. a( Mr. C., whose name is at your service whenever tlem required, from his first interview with Miss M'Avoy, that ? which was in company with me, suspected that she com 1 could see, notwithstanding the bandages, through banc 1 which he could not discern any thing, prevailed upon shut 1 a very intelligent friend to accompany him on his next be c i visit, in order that his conjectures might he confirmed Lad . or removed.— This friend was Mr. Bradbury, author equa • of the recently published Travels in America; a man pear; of as sober judgment, and philcfsophic mind, as any, wise with whom I have ever had the pleasure to be ac- fines quainted. After the young lady had gone through placi the usual routine of performances with the gogglers, lour she was asked to name the colour of a piece of cloth, of so placed behind her; which she attempted to do, for oniy sometime, without success. In tbe mean time, Mr. vvhoi C. had taken up the gogglers, which she had placed takes upon the table, and had fixed them upon his own fa the > face, declaring, that the light was thereby completely histo obscured.— During the time he was thus blinded, and will < Whilst Mr. Bradbury was seated by the fire, apparently physi taking no notice of what was going forwards, be saw yOU . the lady quickly withdraw the cloth from behind her, posse and place it, for a moment, before her ; after which, she as rapidly replaced it, and then examining it with her fingers, for a few moments longer, she correctly Cur" named the colour. cn'au < 1 Upon another occasion, a gentleman, on his way to fail, ai j visit Miss M'Avoy, purchased a common valentine, ! painted in the usual vulgar, tawdry style of these jeSs tlv, j amatory effusions. Having offered this to the young scent o I lady, she proceeded to explain the device, by placing ofCcoui it io the position in which shegenerglly prefers having day). lie re- the object stationed ;— but whether ihe paper slipped, sans unobserved, or whatever was the occasion, so it happened, that whilst she was describing the figures, & c. her ':, the i fingers were actually tracing the blank paper, at some sum- ; distance from those figures. The gentleman's mode much j explaining this, was, that, under some favourable 1 any circumstance, she had caught a glimpse of the valenlidly, tine, which having again lost sight of, she attempted upon to describe entirely from recollection. you At this visit there was also a strange confusion e ad- made, by the substitution of one watch for another, e ad- to which it bore a perfect resemblance, except in the have hour of the day, as the fingers had been purposely » tract varied ; whilst the fingers of the lady are said to have ilight remained unconscious of the stratagem. ibjecl I shall describe one further experiment, distiwguished by what was either a singular chance, or a s the very happy thought. During the visit ef the gentle- ; n of man last mentioned in company with several others, > n or some coloured silk was given to her, which she had who undertaken to ascertain, with her hands placed behind raor- her.— Not succeeding in this at first, she occasionally high brought her fingers near her mouth, as they were ' the sufficiently warm for her purpose, until they had been breathed upon ; when, lo !— it was discovered, that ious small shreds of the silk accompanied her fingers, pery be haps attached to the nails; and as these shreds aplable proached so near the mouth, the gentleman concluded, lady with what reason I will not presume to determine, that they could not be very far removed from the eyes, the Having succeeded, as I trust, my dear Sir, in shewtive, ' i g that my disbelief in some of the prodigies related any of Miss M'Avoy rest upon better grounds than " bare • re- assertion, founded upon the opinions of othersI must tiich further observe, that I attribute no motives to the lady um- in question, upon whose case I should feel disposed to ived put as favourable a construction, if possible, as that ich; suggested by P E R I G R I N A T O R , in his letter ef the at 17th ult. wherein, after professing himself" unwilling to charge her w/ th wilful imposturehe asks, " is it not possible that she is deluding herself; and that she ran labours under the hallucination of imaginary blindness nee ^ his strange hypothesis of P E R I G R I N A T O R reminds te( j me so forcibly of a passage in the works of the inimii r ty table Miss Edgeworth ; that I cannot withstand the temptation of atoning, in some measure, for the dul jno. ness of this long letter, by the following extract from Jn£ j her story of Harrington :— " No !— to do myself justice, I really had no inten- 1 in- tion to deceive, at least, originally;— but as it xh, often happens with those who begin by being tnd dupes, I was in iminent danger of becoming a ,— knave :— and how I escaped it I do not well know.

I was astonished, and as often as I refleet upon it, am still amazed at what I saw her per ce form. Her eyes were first covered over with goldv- beater's skin gummed, in such a manner, that through it we saw the eyelids completely shut; and then upon , r each again a piece of black velvet was fastened in the same manner. It was impossible that any human ; r being, in such circumstances, could see ; and the supposition of collusion was, from the situation, equally out of the question. She distinguished, with perfect ' s accuracy, the colour of different pieces of silk, placed a between two bits of glass. More than half a dozen ) l watches were put, one after another, into her hands; and she not only told which was gold and which sil- ^ ver, and how many hands they had, but through the glass she read the hour from each to a minute.— Ser veral gold and silver coins were placed upon a book on her knee ; she look a piece of window glass in her , s hand, and holding it above them about four inches, • and with the fingers of the other hand, feeling upon ' its surface, she distinguished each coin, and mentioned ' in which the arms were uppermost, and in which the head. A looking- giass was then brought, and a genr tleman placed himself at her side, in such a manner, , that his image was reflected from it upow the piece of common window glass, which she still held in her 1 hand; she told the colour of his dress, and hair; he ) shut his eyes, she said to him ' your eyes are shut; t he opened them— she said, ' but they are now open.' I Ladies took the place of the gentleman, and she was ' equally successful in describing their dress and ap- 1 pearance. These things I saw her clo— but she like- , wise distinguishes the prismatic colours through their • finest shades, when thrown upon her fingers ; and, by placing her hands upon the window, can tell the colour of the objects in the street. She is a young lady of some fortune, and exhibits her extraordinary power oniy to gratify the curiosity of her friends, or of those whom the physicians who attend her introduce. She takes a pleasure in it, but it plagues and annoys her father and mother extremely. 1 could give a long history of her extraordinary case, but an account of ii will soon appear iu print, drawn up by one of her physicians. What I have said is sufficient to give you some idea of the surprising faculty which she . • possesses." _ -- Ciiriouj Circums4nr. ce.— The hounds of Mr. Campion, of Danny. r e ma being recently out hunting;, m a d i a grand and simviltancous rush cn an old worpan carrying a basket, which, in her frighr, she let went1 fail, and screaming, ran away.

In theMercury, about six months ago, we inserted the following paragraph:—" At the County Quarter Sessions, held at Ormskirk, a hill of indictment was preferred against tbe Overseers of Ince Blundell, for cruel and improper conduct, in having forcibly re moved a Liverpool pauper to her place of settlement, when in a state of health which rendered her unable to bear the fatigue of travelling. This poor woman in a fit of melancholy despondency, had cut her ihroat in a very dangerous manner; and, whilst languishing under the effects of this dangerous wound, had been removed to Liverpool in the manner above stated. The bill of indictment was found by the Grand Jury, but the trial was postponed." This important case came on for trial last week, at the Liverpool County Sessions. The indictment charged Henry Loveday with intending to defraud ihe inhabitants of Liverpool, by making Jane Watson chargeable to the parish ; and with intending great bodily harm to the said Jane Watson, in removing her, against her consent, from Ince Blundell to Li verpool, when she was unable to bear the fatigue of the journey. Mr. lis in cock appeared as counsel for the prosecution, and Mr. Cross for defendant. Aftera long trial, in which evidence was had to the humanity of Mr. Loveday, the Jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. " Soma paupers went to a brick clamp ir. Stepney Fields, for the benefit of the warmth, being destitute of any other refuge, where they found the body of a poor young man, apparently about 21, lying dead. His clothes were reduced to tinder, and his hands nearly burned off." To the above paragraph, copied from the Loudon papers, we may add, that we could introduce any person whose curiosity arises from a proper motive, to a group of wretches in Liverpool, who pass their nights in a situation where they are exposed to the imminent risk of a death similar to that described above— but of this more hereafter.— Edits. On Monday week, an inquest was held before Sir William Barton, on the body of Mary Smith, an ir,- | fant, only two and a half years of age, whose death was occasioned on Friday se'nnight, b. v her clothes I catching fire during the absence of her mother. Verdict, accidental. On Tuesday evening sennight, between seven and light o'clock, a captain of a vessel, returning to Liverj pool from the Old Swan, was stopped by two genteel looking young men, about twenty- five years of age, | who demanded his money. The captain immediately put his hand into the side pocket of his coat, as if with the intention of delivering up his money, when he | pulled out a pistol, and, on his presenting it, tbe robbers immediately made off, and suceeedcd in effecting their escape. Tbe same evening, about seven o'clock, a gentleman was stopped, in Wavertree- lane, by a genteellooking yousg man on horseback, who demanded his money; the gentleman, raising an umbrella, which he held in his band, startled the horse of tbe robber, and caused it to spring to the opposite side of the road, in consequence of which the gentleman was enabled lo effect his escape. On tbe same evening, a young man wasstopped, at Edge- hill, by a person, in appearance, resembling the above, who demanded his money, at the same time presenting a pistol at him: a scuffle ensued, in the course of which it was discovered, that tbe pistol was not loaded, and the demands of the assailant were resisted ; but the robber having presented another pistol, which, be stated, would be found more effective, he succeeded in obtaining possession of the young man's watch, and immediately rode off. On Thursday evening, a y « ung man was apprehended at Mr. Kaye's public- house, in William sun- street, on suspicion of being concerned in these robberies; and, after undergoing examinations on Friday and Saturday last, was fully committed, on two of the cases, for trial, at tbe next Assizes. He was sent off to Lancaster on Sunday morning— We be lieve this to he the same individual whose desperate proceedings were noticed in our last. During the trials at the Cuunty Se'sions, held in this town, last week, a gentleman, in the court, bad his pocket cut from his cuat, in which were a pocket book and some cash. Caution — On Monday week, an inquest was held before Sir Wm. Barton, on tbe bedy ot Maiy Smith, an infant, only two and a half years of age, whose death was occasioned, on Friday se'nnight, by her clothes catching fire during the absence of her mother. Verdict, Accidental. '• I During the night of Thursday se? nnight, some - illuins broke into the wine- cellar of a gentleman's house at Everton, and carried tfff upwards of fifteen dozen of wine. We understand, the robbers have not been discovered, although strict search is making : after them, which, we hope, will lead to their ultimate detection. On Tuesday evening, about dusk, a youth, 17 years of age, ( son of the laie Mr. Francis Chalmers, of Liverpool) was attacked by a single highwayman, on the Walton- road, who, after an ineffectual struggle, was overpowered by the ruffian, who tied his hands behind him, robbed him of what he had about him, then cut him in a most desperate manner, and on the approach of some passengers, threw him into a ditch, where he was found in a dreadful situation. There cannot be doubt but that it was intended to add murJer to bfury H O i t U l D DEATH BV A £> H ATiK, ' [ From the Ceylon Gazette, May 27- 3 It is with much concern we communicate to the publ: c a shocking event, which happened on the evening of the 11th, near Colombo :— A party of seven young gentlemen had been walking among the trees near the sea, about two miles south of the fort; between 5 and 6 o'clock, thev sat down on the shore, without any previous intention of bathing, when Mr. May of the Ordnance Civil department, went into the water, and was followed hy several otners. Mr. May was an excellent swimmer, and plunging into the nearest surf,' he did not rise till he was some way beyond it. After playing about a short time, he struck out into deeper water, when L-' ent. Gray, who was within the surf, and aware of the danger from sharks, called out to him not to go any further. At that moment, the swell of the surf hid him from Mr. Gray; but some of the party who were standing higher on the shore, saw him, on a sudden, struggle and sink. He rose again directly, and cried out, " A shark, a shark ; no joke, no joke, upon my honour, I am b i t ! " but he did not seem to be much hurt, for he swam with great strength towards the shore. Lieut. Gray rushed forward to his assistance; and just as they were near meet ing, the shark siezed him again, but he was not pulled under water, and only cried o u t " I am hit, I am bit." Mr- Gray then got hold of him, and at that moment, he saw the shark make a third attack. They were now near the shore, and Mr Gray, with the assistance of another young man, succeeded m getting him on dry land. He had sunk upon his knees as they were supporting him, and was endeavouring to speak, but could only utter convulsive inarticulate sound*. They thought he was fainting, and got him some water, which they pressed him to drink; he raised his head, opened his lips, and attempted to swallow, but instantly sunk down again a- ad expired without a groan. The whole of the flesh, with all the blood vessels, were torn away from the back of his left thigh, for a considerable space above the knee. The laceration was so dreadful, that Mr. Martin, the surgeon, who hastened to see him, on hearing of the accident, declared it would have been impossible to save him, had he been upon the spot. The great effusion of blood must have produced immediate death. He did not, in fact survive above two minutes. It is probable the fatal wound was given in the second or third attack, when Lieut. Gra\ saw the ravenous monster in the act of seizing his unhappy victim. The shark appeared to be rather small, with a large head ; but the water was so discoloured with blood, that it could not be distinctly seen. William Turvifl. May was only 22 years of age; he came to Trincomalee in the Chapman, on the 17th of Oct. 1815, and arrived at Colombo on the 29th of Nov. following. He was an amiableyoung man, much liked by his companions, who observed that he had been that evening remarkably cheerful, and in higher spirits than usual, just before the accident happened. The sad and sudden change of their poor friend, in the flower and gaiety of youth, torn with such a horrid wound, attempting m v/ ain to speak, and expiring with convulsive sobs in their arms, must have made a deep impression on their minds, and will be the subject of most afflicting intelligence to his relations and friends in England. Ci) t Liverpool S^ murp. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER. 1 1 , 1817. T H E P R I N C E S S C H A R L O T T E OF W A L E S ; — T he lamentable event, which we have this day the melancholy task of recording, has made too extensive an impression on the whole people of the United Em pire, to require any observations from us. A younj and lovely wife, placed in that most interesting situ ation, in which tbe best and most expectant feeling! of nature can contemplate the sex— a situation of commiseration mingled with hope, of fortitude supported by affection, of pain, of tenderness, and of pleasing anxiety— in the chamber of child- birth ;— and, there after having brought forth a lifeless child, expiring herself in the arms of a beloved tasband, exhibits certainly one of the most heart- rending incidents of domestic calamity. What a combination of the first and last of human existence; of life and death; of the cradle and the grave ! But this awful idea, from which every trace of intermediate life seems suddenly and entirely banished, belongs to the mind only, and is soon lost in the more intense sensations of the heart She, who so lately in health herself, gave promise of a new and healthful being, is now a corpse— and that expected being, is now a corpse by her side ! Those moments which should have been the first moments ol her infant's life, are the last moments of her own: that consolation for her recent sufferings, which might have arisen from the reflection that she had given existence to the fondest pledge of connubial affection, is annihilated— and the cold hand of death is upon her self, and has rent her from him, for whose sake she nad sustained her pangs, and on whose love the wishtfor life of her child wuuld have been a renewed bond i For a lovely woman, thus situated, what human bosom does not feel the severest throes ? What heart is so philosophically cool, that its possessor can calmly recollect, that he was born, and that he must die; and yet, can contemplate those two extremes, blended in a scene so exquisitely tender, witliout a shock upon all liis nerves ? What, then, must the husband sustain, who feels the band that should have pressed his, with the tenderest pulse of congratulation, becoming colder and colder— who gazes on the eye, that might have met his with the soft exultation of one who had given a son to the beloved of her heart, now closing— fcr ever ! Among the millions who compose tbe inhabitants of these islands, many have known and have wept at circumstances like these in the circle of their own families, and in tbe femilies of their friends. The sentiment of genuine sorrow, arising from such an incident in private life, is rapidly communicated from breast to breast; whole villages— whole districts— participate in the emotion, and the human heart is subdued by a gentle, yet generous melancholy, as far as the tidings of so awful and so impressive an occurrence are extended. What then must a whole nat pn ' eel, when the lovely sufferer and her surviv ing spouse are placed in so elevated— so conspicuous a point o: view— lhat even Ihe most reluctant spirit— the most worn and morbid mind, cannot avoid the contemplation ? The natural pangs and agonies of an amiable female, who, nearly in ihe rank of Queen herself, in bringing forth her first man child, looks not only to the endearing transports of the belove I father, for her reward, but to the congratulations of thousands, are not less terrible than those of the hum' lest M ifp of the most ' i" lmh( Fer tears and her anxieties are greater; and tile etiquette of elevated rank rends from her many of the softest and most, delicate commiserations. In that great trial of riature she is indeed a woman, and perhaps without that intercourse among'women, which may authorise a female friend or relative to present bersell in no other charactcr but that of a woman, beside her pillow. Rank, restricted by the punctilios of distinction, stands aloof. The expectant mother of a future monarch remains alone, in that moment of severe trial, when the tenderness of sympathising friendship, and the gentleness of anxious relatives are most required, and are most sensibly experienced in the humbler ranks of life. But the death- hed oi the Princess Charlotte, if it was not moistened by the tears of friends anj relatives, so also was it not encumbered by the pride of state. Nature cannot speak to the heart of any of us without vindicating that death bed, as truly royal, truly her own ! In the inferior ranks of life, and often in the chambers of Queens, we have groups ; but here we have distinct figures. The picture is placed before us in the most conspicuous point of view, and one strong light rests upon it— it is the light of affection. Three isolated objects are there, each of whom is of consequence to claim tbe whole attention of a whole nation. A dead child— an expiring mother,— and an agonized husband.— The first never saw that light of affection which was awaiting to welcome him to existence— in the last it must remain as long as life remains, and with its recollected brightness will probably render all the rest of life a gloom— in that, the principal, the loveliestperson of the group, was it indeed extinguished in the last glance of her eyes?— Oh, no! — the greatest sceptic respecting a future state, would, on beholding such a picture, strike his hand against his heart, and exclaim " I hope not! " Were we now, after pausing from the contemplation of such a scene, to endeavour to return for awhile into our usual duties, and to revert to those subjects with which we are accustomed to fill these columns, we should be inclined to declare that the study of politics is not ot that cold and heartless character which its opponents have asserted it to be. Politics is a study that interests man in the miseries and welfare of mankind ; while in those miseries and in that wellare, Princes stand pre- eminent. In their splendour, in their extravagant pleasures, in their conquests— what are they? Can we— dare we— de scribe exactly what they are?— But, in their domestic happiness and in their domestic sorrows, they are only the most conspicuous part of ourselves. Let them look round this nation, and let them observe what multitudes have revered and loved and imitated the domestic virtues of our venerable monarch; and let them at this moment cast their eyes around the realm, and imbibe comfort from the many millions whose hearts are now sincerely commiserating in the loss which their family has sustained. Their virtues and their vices, their excellencies and'their errors, their happiness and their calamity affect all of us; but chiefly those incidents of their lives, which, as human beings, they are as liable to, as ourselves, impress us most strongly.

G E N T L E M E N , In your paper of tbe 17th inst. I observed the very luminous detail, of the discovery of a druggist of Amiens, which appears highly calculated to revive the drooping spirit, and to replenish the empty coffers of the English farmers. They, however, have long and justly been accused of backwardness in adopting the splendid roads to wealth, which are pointed out in every treatise on agriculture, and even in almost every report from the board of agriculture down to that of tbe meanest farming societies. It has long been matter of extreme surprise to writers, and of indignation to landlords, that this mulish race should continue to plod on the old beaten track, while - uch clear, distinct, and well authenticated roads to fortune ( even under double the present rents of land) were pointed out to them. Now, Gentlemen, being personally one of this pig headed generation, I take some interest in vindicating the fraternity from the aspersions of the book- makers, the societies, and the landlords; and as I sincerely wi> h well to my brother farmers in general ( whom I take to be the least sophisticated part of the community) I shall make some attempt to analyze this very splendid discovery; although, unfortunately, your paper having reached me after my crop of potatoes was taken up, and the halm disposed of in the dunghill, I have not had tbe means of ascertaining some particulars which I should otherwise have attended to. Almost every new plan of cultivation is attended with some, and many with a very large, additional outlay of capital by the farmer ; his servants and labourers must, at his expence, be taught something which they did not practise before, and which by the time they have well learned, they may probably leave his service ; and he will therefore, as long as the improvement is^ not generally adopted in his neighbourhood, have to keep a constant school for the instruction of new hands; the loss and disappointment attending which can only bp estimated by those who havd experienced them; But if even under these constant difficulties and expenses, the alteration be persisted in, it generally turds out no improvement in the end, as is proven by its being finally abandoned by the very people who most strongly recommended it. To what a variety of breeds of horses, cattle, and sheep have at different ttijn. es-. been assigned the pre- eminence ? To what vegetable has not the actr. e of excellence been attributed by tbe highest authority? Have we not even seen the golden medal of our highest society granted to a detail of experiments, not one word of which was founded in truth ? If our farmers have been imprudent, it is, I apprehend, rather in the adoption of novelties ( which are always attended by considerable expence, and which, even when successful, tend more to raise the rent of lan 1 than to benefit the farmer) than by their rejection ; for experiments in agriculture cannot be decided on, when made either an a small scale, or continued for a few years; because, in the one case, the liit'e spot is almost always much more carefully cultivated than a greater extent could be; and in the other, the vicissitudes of seasons are so great, that a few cannot determine the general average With r? gard to the discovery in question, it appears to me, to set out with a most glaring fa'lary, viz.— that each acre cf lard should carry 120, COO lbs. of potato tops, which is upwards of 5o\ tons: now we reckon* eight tons to be a heavy crop of clover cut green from an acre of land, and 1 apprehend that the weight of potato tops will not exceed that ol clover from similar land; for although a potato top, when it has room, will grow to a great size, yet when planted so close as one to each square foot, I should expect that it would rather require three ot them to weigh a pound, than that one should weigh three pounds. Rye- grass, cut green, loses about three quarters of its weight in drying into hay, and white grass ( holcus molts) and red clover lose about four- fifths; and as potato tops are very succulent ( to appearance much more so than any of the grasses) I should apprehend that they could not lose mu< ' thirds, tion of i his place ; but pecuniary considerations being secondary objects with the Advertiser, he will be satisfied with proper security for the fulfilment of any engagement that- may result from this advertisement. None need apply whose personal character will not bear proper investigation ; 2s it will be an indispensible condition, that he shall be deemed eligible to the Partners with whom he will have to be associated, and who are themselves in point of character and knowledge of business, wholly unexceptionable.

This quantity will fill with vapour a cube of ten feet; and by employing a sufficient number of pipkins, the fumes may be easilymade to fill a ward of any extent.

The outer coffins are in a state of great forwardness; that for the Princess was nearly finished last night, as was als@ chat for the infant, and both will be completed this day. They are each covered with superb crimson Genoa velvet, enriched with beautiful nails, formed into pannels; those on the Princess's coffin are silver gilt— the others are of plain silver. The handles were not finished by the artists employed; they are said to be very magnificent. The inscription plates had not made their appearance from the Herald's College. — The coffin of the Princess is of very large dimensions; it is upwards of six feet in length, and broad in proportion.

Co ConregponCcntg. Our arrangements for this week will, of conrse, have been materially interfered with, by the leogfh, and deep interest of the details concerning the premature death of the Princess Charlotte and her offspring;— an event, which, although we may not be so clampfrOus upon the occasion as some of cur cotempomi" ies, we regret as sincerely as any of them ; and which we regard as a great national affliction, in wpatever point of view it is contemplated. 1 In reply to the enquiry of G. R. and others, we have t6 state, that the Mayor's suggestion fsee advertisement J for closing shutters oji the day cf the royal funeral, is meant to extend to private houses as well as shops, but by no means to the- prevention of business. We understand, that the general mode will be. to close the windows of shops and unoccupied rooms entirely, and those Of sitting rooms partiaily. The apology in our first notice to correspondents above, must account for our merely acknowledging the receipt of the following:— PRESSENTIA— W. E. S. N. P.— T. F.— See. TYPHUS FEVER.— The communication of K. is corroborated by an advertisement just received from the Town- hall; from which it appears, that the Mayor h3S promptly and most laudably convened a'meeting of the medical gentleman of the town, whose- proceedings we particularly recommend to the notice of our readers. We regret that our arrangements would not this week admit the note of MEDJCUS, on this subject, which arrived late last night,— It shall certainly he attended to in our next. __ P R I N T E D BY E G E R T O N S M I T H, 18, - JpocUSatifc: i
