"On the following morning, at seven o'clock, the procession will nove in the same order (with the exception of the knight marshal'smen, who will remain at the termination of the first day's journey), and will halt at Harwich, where a guard of honour will be provided, to guard her Majesty's remains until they shall be embarked; and the colours at that station, and at Languard Fort, will be hoisted at half mast. The body, attended by those persons composing the procession, who are to accompany the same to the continent, will be conveyed on board the Glasgow frigate, appointed for this purpose.

"Minute guns will be fired from Languard Fort as soon as the body is placed in the boat, and will be continued until the firing is taken up by his majesty's ships in the bay."

CORRESPONDENCE RELATIVE TO HER MAJESTY'S FUNERAL. Lady Ann Hamilton and Lady

Hood to Mr. Hobhouse.

"The ladies in attendance on her late Majesty the Queen feel it incumbent on them to state to Mr. Hobhouse, that having only received intimation this day, at four o'clock in the afternoon, of the necessary preparations to make for the morning, they find it impossible to complete the dresses requisite before Tuesday night.

"Unless the time until Wednesday morning is allowed for the removal of her late majesty's remains, lady Ann Hamilton and lady Hood will not have it in their power to attend the funeral." "Brandenburgh-house, Saturday-night, Aug. 11."

Mr. Hobhouse to Lady Ann Hamilton and Lady Hood.

"Mr. Hobhouse has to acknowledge the receipt of the note addressed to him last night by lady Ann Hamilton and lady Hood, from whence he is surprised to learn, that the intention of moving the late Queen's remains, as nearly as possible in conformity with the wish expressed in her Majesty's will, should have been so recently communicated to their ladyships; the anxiety of the king's servants to carry that wish into effect having been expressed to Dr. Lushington and Mr. Wilde on Wednesday, and at every subsequent interview, and those gentlemen having yesterday stated, that there would be no obstacle to the removal of the corpse on Tuesday morning. Mr. Hobhouse will lose no time in despatching their ladyships' note to lord Liverpool, and will communicate his lordship's answer at the earliest moment."

"Grosvenor-place, Aug. 12,
half-past 8 p. m.

To Lady Hood, and Lady
Ann Hamilton."

Mr. Hobhouse to Lady Ann Hamilton and Lady Hood (2nd Note.)

"Mr. Hobhouse presents his compliments to lady Ann Hamilton and lady Hood, and is directed by lord Liverpool to apprise their ladyships, that the order for the removal of her Majesty's remains on Tuesday is irrevocable. Their ladyships must be aware, that in cases of this nature, it is extremely frequent for persons, who are to attend the interment, to follow after the procession has proceeded far on its route; and

it is presumed, that if their ladyships should unfortunately not be entirely prepared on Tuesday morning, there can be no objection to this course being adopted on the present occasion."

"Whitehall, Aug. 12, 4 p. m."

and injured Queen, without being interrupted by the military. I have been in the habit of attending her Majesty for the last five months through immense crowds, and not a single accident has ever occurred. Why, my lord, is the

Liverpool.

"My Lord;-Though I have not the honour of your lordship's acquaintance, I cannot resist the impulse I feel to address you, not as the minister of this country, but I wish to speak to your heart; and I am not without the hope of inspiring you with sympathy on this most interesting and awful subject. I have often, my lord, heard you highly spoken of. Some time ago I was acquainted with a lady, who was either nearly allied to you, or the late lady Liverpool. Her sentiments of your good principles inspired me with hope, that you will act up to that excellent monitor within every one's breast- To do as they would be done by.' Why, my lord, is her Majesty's funeral thus indecently hurried? Mr. Hobhouse replied to a note written by lady Ann Hamilton and myself

Because it was the Queen's request in her will.' This is, I believe, the first and only request of her Majesty's, that ever has been complied with. And allow me, my lord, to put another question to you-Why is there to be a guard of honour appointed to attend her funeral, which honour was never given to her during her life? If such is persisted in, I foresee much mischief, and I fear bloodshed. The people have ever been her Majesty's only friends; suffer them to pay their last tribute of affection to their beloved

direct road to disappoint the people? For Heaven's sake revoke this sentence; the evil of it exceeds all calculation. I have, my lord, been the companion of the Queen for the last five months: my previous knowledge of her good and estimable qualities alone induced me to accept this situation, and from seeing her deserted by all her former associates and friends. And I can with truth assure you, that not even her bitterest enemy could censure her Majesty's conduct; and her death-bed, my lord that awful moment to which we are all approaching-is an example to all living. She died in peace, I do believe, with all the world; and during her illness frequently said,

Je ne sais si en mourant j'aurai à souffrir des douleurs physiques, mais je puis vous assurer que je quitterai la vie sans regrets; and she desired her female attendant, Brunette, to assure her sister De Mont that she had forgiven her. I have one more appeal to make to your lordship; and first, I will ask you why the funeral of the Queen of England should be so much more hurried than that for your lordship's late wife? that event proves your lordship's opinion on the subject; the Queen will not have been dead a week till after ten o'clock next Tuesday night: therefore, I trust your heart will dictate the same degree of outward respect, if not love, for your Queen. And now, my

lord, I have only to say, that I have been surprised at the interruption to the tranquillity of this house by a show of mourningthe having a part of this house hung with black, which cannot be completed before Monday night, if so soon, and the proceeding has only been interrupted this day (Sunday), during the time her Majesty's domestic chaplain performed the church service. I trust, my lord, you will not order her Majesty's funeral before Wednesday or Thursday next. I will only add, my lord, that every word of this letter is dictated by myself, and that I have set down nought in malice; for my late beloved mistress (the Queen) set me a better example; but my conscience will not allow me to continue silent, and I entreat that your lordship will grant all the requests contained in this letter; and in so doing, be assured I shall ever feel the highest veneration and esteem, permit me to add affection, for your lordship, and believe me, my lord, your humble servant, JANE HOOD." "Brandenburgh-house, Aug. 12, 1821. The Right Hon. the Earl of Liverpool, Combe Wood."

The Earl of Liverpool to Lady

Hood.

"Combe Wood, Aug. 12. "Madam;-I have this moment had the honour of receiving your ladyship's letter, and I think it right to observe in answer to it, that when her late Majesty's executors communicated to me copies of her last will, on Wednesday last, by which it appeared that her Majesty desired that three days after her death her body should be sent to Brunswick for interment, I felt it to be my duty

to give directions, in the King's absence, that her Majesty's intentions in this respect might be carried into effect with as little delay as possible; and I lost no time in laying before the King the directions which had been issued for this purpose. I have since received his Majesty's commands to continue to act in conformity to the orders first given. I had directed, that the funeral should proceed from Brandenburgh-house to morrow morning: but upon a representation which I received from Dr. Lushington yesterday, it was agreed to put off the departure till Tuesday, and I feel that I should be now acting in direct contradiction to the King's commands, as well as contrary to the intention of her late Majesty, if I was a party to any further delay. I am sorry it is not in my power to return a more satisfactory answer to your ladyship's letter, but I have been ready from the beginning to communicate with her Majesty's executors on the arrangements necessary to be made on this melancholy occasion; and it has been the anxious desire of the King and his government, that every thing should be conducted and decent manner. in the most becoming, orderly, I have the honour to be, madam, your ladyship's obedient humble servant, "LIVERPOOL.' Viscountess Hood to the Earl of Liverpool.

"My Lord;-I have to acknowledge the receipt of your lordship's letter, and though certainly not according with my wishes, yet please to accept my thanks for the promptness of your reply. But, my lord, there is a material part of my letter which you have

14. Yesterday notices were issued from the lord chamberlain's office to all the theatres in and about the metropolis, ordering them to be closed this evening, this being the day appointed for the removal of the remains of the Queen.

LORD CHAMBERLAIN'S OFFICE.-Orders for the Court going into mourning, on Wednesday next, the 15th instant, for her late Majesty Queen CarolineAmelia-Elizabeth, viz. :

The ladies to wear black bombasins, plain muslin or long lawn linen, crape hoods, chamois shoes and gloves, and crape fans.

Undress-Dark Norwich crape. The gentlemen to wear black cloth, without buttons on the sleeves and pockets, plain muslin or long lawn cravats and weepers, chamois shoes and gloves, crape hatbands, and black swords and buckles.

Undress-Dark grey frocks. THE FUNERAL. This morning, Mr. Bailey of Mount-street, Grosvenor-square, whom his Majesty's government had appointed conductor of her Majesty's funeral procession, left his house at half-past four o'clock, preceded by 13 mourning coaches and six, a hearse and eight horses with the usual habiliments and paraphernalia, and arrived between five and six o'clock at Brandenburgh-house. Sir George Nayler, Clarencieux King at Arms, arrived by six o'clock, attended by Mr. Woods, Pursuivant at Arms; they were ushered into the state apartment. A little after six o'clock Dr. Lushington arrived. Mr. Wilde, Mr. Broughham, Alderman Wood, Mr. Hobhouse, sir Robert Wilson, Mr. Thomas (acting for Mr. Mash,

of the lord chamberlain's office), Dr. Holland, lieutenants Flynn and Hownam, count Vassali, &c. were present in the state apartments. At six o'clock precisely a squadron of the Oxford Blues, under the command of captain Bouverie, arrived from their barracks, Regent's Park, and formed into a line in front of the house. The church bells tolled to minute time, and minute guns were fired from the bank of the Thames opposite Brandenburgh-house. The London escort committee were headed by Mr. Hume and Mr. Hobhouse, and the Hammersmith committee by the churchwarden and Mr. Bowling.

When Mr. Bailey went into the state-room to give directions to the lord chamberlain's officers to deliver up the body to the persons in waiting, a very warm and unpleasant altercation ensued betwixt Dr. Lushington and Mr. Bailey; the former, as one of her majesty's executors, prohibited the removal of the body; and the latter, as appointed by government, insisted on the performance of his orders. Mr. Wilde, as executor, then presented Mr. Bailey with a written protest against the removal of her Majesty's body; declared that the body was taken by force, against the will of the executors; and called upon Mr. Bailey to give him some information, as to where he intended to take the procession, by what route, and to what destination. Mr. Bailey complained, that every impediment was thrown in the way of the persons, whose duty it was to attend the removal of the body. He then took out of his pocket a paper, and read from it the route of the procession."The funeral cavalcade to pass
