Yev} Eate from England*
N*w.\o«k, September 17.
On Saturday wc hadju-st time toaari'mrce
the arnvaj of trie Import'*, f.r.t, from Liver
pool. Ihr Panthra, Eldridge, ami the Mar
tha Skctehley, have since arrived, •ml by
t l,, ni the Editors of the Commercial . Idver
titer, have received their regular files of
Loudon paper* to the 14th, Liverpool to the
15th and Lloyd’s List* to the Jdlh—toge
ther with files of Dublin, Edinburgh, and
numerous provincial papers. The rumor
ol the death of the Queen, which we an
nounced on Saturday, is confirmed ; and we
have devoted a large portion of our paper
this evening to the particulars of her de
cease and death, her conduct during her ill
neaa, and the arrangement for her funeral.
This distinguished Princes, whose charac
ter and peculiar situation has commanded so
gieal a share of the pub'ic attention for the
laal eighteen month*, and at intervals for
many years before departed a life, which, to
her, has been one of singular care, anxiety
and trouble, on the 7dt August. Her com
plaint aeerr.s to have been an inflam.ation of
the bowels, succeeded by mortification.
Her MajcHy wa« daughter of Charles Wil
liam Frederick, Duke of Brunswick, b) her
Koval Highness Augusta, eldest sister of fits
late Majesty George 111. She was born 17th
May, 1768, and in 1795 married his present
Majesty George IV, then Prince of Wales,
by whom the had one daughter, the late la
mented Princess Charlotte, of Saxe Coburg.
The ltoyal House ol Biunxwtc, beca i e con
nected with me ltoyal family of England, in
the reig-> of James.
The persons present at the moment of
her Majesty’s death, were lord and lady
Hood, and ludy Arm Hamilton; Alderman
Wood and Ins son, the l(<v Mr. John Wood;
Hr. Baillie, Dr. Ainslie, Dr Maton, Dr. War
ren, and Dr. Holland ; Mr. W'tide, Dr. Lush
ing; „n, and Mr. Austin.
Soon alter the bulletin, announcing her
death, was delivered, all the medical gentle
men, except Dr. Holland, departed. Dr.
Holland remained all night at Brandenburgh
bouse, as did also lady Ann Hamilton. Nu
merous expresses were sent off in different
directions.
She was sensible to the last, and gave di
rections as to her interment. A tew hour*
before her death, she observed to a faithful
female attendant, “ The doctors do not un
derstand my malady ; it is here (laying her
hand upon her heart,) hut I will be silent ;
tny lips shall never make it known.
In about an hour alter her death, her ser
vants were permitted to see her, the body
having been laid out, ami a white covering
placed over it to tho neck. The alterations
in her feature* were so great, that several ol
them could scarcely believe it was their late
mmiresß. The persona attached to her
household, are descubed as having been
greatly affected.
An event of this kind must necessarily ,
have produced a great sensation throughout (
the kingdom, but more especially in the me- |
tropuhs, where Iter political friends were j
most nuincrouf. Immediately upon the re- j
ceipl of. the intelligence in London, the I
shops were generally shut; and the exam- |
pie was followed m the other towns, as fast j
as the intelligence travel ed. Themembeia
of the ltoyal tmuly, and officers of gnvern
men , as well as tuners, went into mourning ;
and orders were given by Lord Liverpool,
for an rncori to convey »t»c unity iu ormia
wick, pursuant to her request.
Thu* ha* the life, and with it the suffer
«"KN ol Caroline of Brunswick, closed. She, j
nay* the Traveller, was one of the most un- |
foyuuate of women for nearly twenty seven
y, ars of her existence ; and lias only found

aake of humanity it i* to be hoped, even her
will's! enemies would wish had been her lut
while living on earth. She died, peihaps,
the moat desolate woman in the world. Her
family, one by one, had fallen into the grave
before her ; the shaft of Calumny had early
Wounded her reputation ; and she was de
arrud by her relatives, and shunned by
thoae who hoped or enjoyed their favour.

Me were always of the opinion, that,
knowing the feelings of the King, and of his
ministry of cotnwe, the Queen took an im

to England. She might have resided abroad
in ease and comfort, and without molesta
tion ; and she Ci.ulil not have been ignorant,
that the nvmirnt she returned to Ei gland,
and became the leader ol a party, the strong
arm of the government would be up isled
to crush her ; and it is not improbable that !
the trying scenes through which she was
doomed to pass, have hastened her exit from
the stuge ol her troubles. A short t.me
previously to hrr death, during lic-r illness,
her Majesty expressed herself in a manner
that w ould lead us to suppose that she had
been misled and disappointed by bad advis
ers. After declaring that she “ did not wish
to live,’’—(we copy from the Times) —ahe

The papers coot line to oe fill. U with let
ters, and rumors, concerning the contest oe
tween tile Greeks and l uiks, but they are
as unsatisfactory as formerly. We nave not
room to make many extracts touching these
affairs; nor indeed is there mucii necessity
for it, a* they would serve rattier to bewilder
than enlighten the reader.
A detailed account is given of a late affair
in Moldavia, in which two small Greek par
ties, the largest about seven hundred strong,
were completely routed. From the ac
count*, generally, however, we are inclined
to the opinion that the cause of the Greeks
is gradually brghtemng.
l'ue same degree ul - incertitude still hangs
over the conduct of the Emperor of Russia,
as to the course he intends to pursue. But
the prevailing opinion is, that lie w ill em
bark m tiie war, it lie ha* not dune so al
ready ; and in cot ruboration ot tins opin
ion, we may here remark, that Captain Dun
bar, who arrived at N. Bedford, (Mas-.) on
Thursday last, m 64 days trom St. Peters
burg, intorms, that three days before lie sail
ed a note trom the Prune Munster, address
ed to the merchants, was publicly read m
the Exchange, stating that war Had been de- j
dared agamst Turkey, and ad using tue mer- J
cuauls t j take care ot their property. The
Editor ol the Boston Daily Advertiser re
marks upon the article, as to.lows
“ I'he event u.mOu .cod Cannot be regard
ed a* very improbable, yet we think it much
more pi-.haole that the report is founded I
on tnc circulars, which w tr* >ent by the Un- '
ro auugonuil, u,e Hu-euan Ambassador at
ttie Forte, aOout me Utn of June, to the
Governor ot O low, and tofpllier parts of

entire approbation.
The latest yews from St. Petersburgh,
says, that the imperial guard, having evin
ct d the most eager impatience to march a

ered from that capital. Numerous reinforce
ments continue to be dispatched to 'he divi
sion, under Wittgenstein, and that under
Michel Orloff. The former of these two gen
erals has advanced upon the Pruth, and die
other occupies Bessarabia. Both complain
of the desertion of their soldiers, to the pre
vention of which, even the severe disci
pline of Russia is not effected. A*l these
deserters pass over to the Greek troops.

DEATH OF THE QUEEN.
From the London l'ravelh r of .dugust 8.
The following particulars oi her Majes
ty’s illness have transpired si ice her death,
and their accuracy, we believe, may be re
l.cd upon. They serve at once in exhibit
the slate of her mind, and the excellence of
her character: —
When, at the beginning of last week, her
Maj*ty’s illness first assumed a serious
character, IT . Holland requested her per
mission to send for ai.otlo r physician, ob
serving, that whatever might be Ins own in
dividual skill and attention, yet the public
would necessarily expect, in the case ot a
Queen, that every possible aid should be
had recourse to. Her .Majesty answered
with a smile to the following effect: —“ My
dear Doctor, do what you please ; if it will
be any relict to your own mind to call in as
si itance, do so ; but do not do it for my
sake; 1 have no wish to live,-1 would ra
ther die.” Indeed, tram the first moment
that her Majesty was assured ol the very se
rious nature other indisposition, she clung
to the assurance witii j y and gratitude, and
listened with a reluctant ear to the hopes
j of recovery w hich her Physicians and friends
I held out to her from time to tune. “ Why
| do you wish me 'u live ?” she exclaimed on
j olie occasion, in the early part ofherili
| ness; “ life to me can be nothing but a se
ries of sorrows and persecutions; 1 shall be
much Happier in another world than tins.”
i It was observed that she desponded too
much ; that public opinion was in her favor,
and would make her amends for ail Iter suf
ferings. Her Majesty asked ” what public
opinion had done tor her.” It was answer
ey, that it had deleated that late dreadful at
tempt to rain ner—the Bill of Pains and
Penalties. Her reply was prompt and firm
—“ Wliat am I tfie better for ttie In ure of
that Bill ? it it had passed, 1 should have
been degraded; and what is my situation
now ? I have, indeed, the empty title of
Queen, but am 1 Queen of Eogia d ’ Have
1 tne privilege, the power, the dignities of a
Queen of England ? No, no ; I am a private
; person—l am not a Queen of England.”
It will be recollected that on Friday but
the symptoms of her Majesty’s disorder bad
become very alarming, and the Physicians
, iiad scarcely any hope of her recovery. She
received.the announcement of her danger
with admirable calmness and composure ;
( and shortly afterwards proceeded to make
1 her Wul. There was an air of cheerfuhies
\ about her after *ha had signed it, which in
.iuced one of her professional advisers (we
understand Mr. Brougham) to express ‘ a
hope, that she felt herself easier and better.
Her Majesty answered—“Oh, no, my dear
Mr. Brougham, I know 1 shall die, and 1 do
not at all regret it.” Mr. Brougham said,
that he was of a different opit>ion« and ex
pected her Mates’y to recover, but added.
• that the step she bad jus; taken was per
fectly proper in case of accident. Her Ma
i, sty persisted in say ing that she knew she
.as dving. 11l the course of the evening
sne took occasion to say—“ldo not know
whether I shall suffer bodily pain in dying,
but 1 can assure you tl.at I shall quit tins
world without regret: I have no great rea
- ,n to be attached to life.”
On Saturday and Sunday, in spite cf some
favorable symptoms which inspired the phy
sicians with hope, she still expressed her
firm conviction that she should die. She
seemed to feel pleasure in talkijig on the
subject, and rejoiced in anticipating her re
lease from trouble —her escape troin the
malice of her enemies. She said, that in this
world, whether in England or abroad, the
rancour of her persecutors would always
beset her; and it was only in another world
she could look for peace and justice. She
expressed the deepest regret hat she "as so
little able to reward those faitnful servants
who had stood by her in difficulties; but
hoped that government would not let them
want. She declared herself warmly grate
ful ; and hoped her gtati ude would be made
known, to tnat genetous portion ol the peo
ple ol England, whose support of her had
been most steady when most wanted, and
j who had never been frightened from her
cause either by the power or die calumny
of her oppress -Cs. —” England.” said her ;
ot and persecution ; bull know how
! to love those faithful English who have al
ways sympathised with iny sorrow, and have
done all in their power to defeat the mal
ice oi my persecutors.” If was on tnis occa
si m that that her enemies had
been for plotting and conspiring to
destroy her:—” At tat,” said, sue "they j
have destroyed me, but I forgive them I die in ,
pe.»ce withal mankind.” shi' irtiy alter, site
sent for Marietta Brune, to whom she do- j
elated her perfect forgiveness of her sister’s |
(Dumont’s) cruel falsehoods. Ah who had
an opportunity of seeing her majesty were |
9 ruck with the glorious trait in her charac- ,
ter, that though tier In art was evidently ■
broken with die recollection ol the deep
i injuries she had received, and though an in- S
i delibly strong image of the injustice of her |
enemies was always present to her mind, yet j
I she never used a harsh ora angry expression I
■ against any individual : she freely forgave '•
j them all—spoke ot them in terms ol pity,
and even made allowances for their conduct |
on die score of weakness and the frailty of |
human nature.
I On Monday night, it will be remembered,
: that her phys.cians seemed to consoler her
j Majesty out ol all danger; she was inform- ,
etl ot their opinion, but insisted that they
were mistaken, adding she was dying, and [
thought she should die before 9 o’clock the ;
• next evening. It is not iniprubab.e that her
| Majesty then felt the symptoms of incipient
■ mor ilication. She sent for Mr. W ilde,
who was in attendance, and added a codicil
to ner will ; we believe it related to the
p ace of her interment. Her first wish was
to be buried in tbe same grave wi ll her be
-1 loved daughter, “but,” added she, “lean 1
have hub- hope that the government will
grant tins wish; I desire, therefore, to be
buried in the same vault with my father and
I brother, at Brunswick.” When her Mujes
i tv had signed this c -dic'd, she began to
converse at considerable length w.th .Ur.
: Wilde.
Die physicians tearing that conversation
might disturb her, wished to withdraw Mr.
VV tide from the room, and that gentleman,
I from the same motive, was anxious to go,
bi„ her Majesty begged him to stay. M
! Thank my Physician.',” she said, “lor their
kind intentions, they mean nothing hut what
is rignt, but they do not understand my
! character: they think that it agitates me to
talk of death, they are mistaken—to me, who
have littie pleasure in the past, and no pros
, pect of tului’.e tranquility in this hie, it is a
I pleasure to contemplate my approaching
! death, and why may 1 not speak what 1
teel ?” Ail these observations were made'
with such sweetness of manner, and such
calmness ol tone, as to make an impression
never to be effaced from the min is of those
who were present. The nigiit between
Monday and Tuesday who passed without
j sleep, owing, it is believed, to that restless
anxiety which usually accompanies the pro
cess of mortification.
On Tuesday afternoon about one, she again
conversed on her usual top cs. Alluding to
the few friends who remained constant to
her to the last, and for whom she expressed
the must grateful regard, she took occasion
to observe, that her adversaries had put in
practice two nmd>s ol separating worthy
people from her s iciety ; one was to defer
them from visiting her by propagating the
roost atrocious calumnies against her and
then ; the second was, when they saw her
surrounded by persons of honor, to endeavor
by anonymous letters, and all means in their
power to pois in her mind against them, in
order to induce her to brtak with them
“ Against the first inode of attack,” said her
Majesty, “I could have no help : the second
plan I soon detected, and therefore defeated.”
She then alluded to the practice of opening
the body after death, and said that she saw
no occasion for the operation in her case,
and wished it not to be done. She tin n
begged that she might not be made a show
of after death. “ There has been,” she ob
served smilingly, “quite enough of that in
my lifetime ; beside*, there are persons who
kept aloof from me w hen auie, who umv
have no objection to see me when dead, anti
there is no good reason for satisfying t!n-ir
curiosity.” Site then again adverted with
great regret to her mabiliry to bestow ade
quate compensation on her servants, or re
memhrances on her friends j but said, then
services and kindness were deeply written
on her heart. Mr. Wilde then left her for
some time.
About four o’clock an access of fever came
on, w hich operating on a frame already al- !
most exhausted, produced for a short time a
greater exaltation of spirits than she had yet
manifested ; during this period she expressed
herself with more vehemence of manner, hut
still with the forbearance of language, touch
ing the cruel conspiracies of her inveterate
foes; but the fever soon subsided and sue
recovered her usual gentle Lone, her usual ■
calm and firm demeanour: she was again all
resignation to the willol God.—A drowsiness :
then came on which lasted till nearly e ght I
o’clock; when sue awoke,and observing by
ner bed-side Dr. Holland, who had often ex
pressed a hope of her recovery, said, with a
smile and accent of the greatest sweetness —
“ Well, my dear Doctor, what do you thmk I
now r” Her Majesty soon »» r became in- I
sensible, but remained alive tor above two ,
hours, shewing by her br&thing a vigour ot
-he lungs and of the heart which tne Phy- 1
sicians said exceeded any case they had ever j
witnessed. At length, at twenty-five min- |
tes past ten, her heroic ami persecuted j
spirit fled to the regions of truth, and justice, j
and peace.—The anguish of her friends, the
agony of her servants, we have before de.
scribed; and have only to add, that the Phy
sicians betrayed emotions o gr.el not often
seen among the proiessional attendants of a
death-bed. , _ _ ..
ft is understood that Dr. Lushington and
Mr Wilde attended Lord Liverpool on
Wednesday morning for the purpose ofshow.
ing the Will, and taking instructions as to the
funeral of her Majesty. All that has Iran
spired is, that his Lordship said he should
tnve orders to prepare a squadron to convey
her Majesty’s body to Brunswick, according
to the request in her Will.
The Queen has, by her will, left the
principal part ol her property to her protege
William Austin, and directs that her body
should not be opened.
FIIOM THE EUXDOX TIMES, OF AVG. 8,
Death of the Queen.
Early in last week her Majesty felt herself
greatly indisposed, in consequence, as wa
understand, of having taken a very large
dose of magnesia, which was supposed to
have Created an obstruction in the bowels,
which was followed by inflammatory symp
toms. On Thursday last she was attended
| :jy three physicians, Ur. Maton, l)r. Warren,
1 and Dr. Holland. In the course of that day
her Majesty tvas copiously bled; slle passed
a quiet night, but her symptoms remained
the same. The following day she wasim-
mersed for about a qtiat ter of an hour in a
warm bath, which moderated the pain, but
in other respects was unavailing. Connected
with the inflammation of the bowels was a
nausea at the stomach, which repelled both
I food and medicine. Another physie : Bn, Dr.
Amslie, now called in, and her Msjesty’*
legal advisers, most of whom were on the
I point of setting oft’ for their different circuits,
I aso atiended for the arrangement of her
property ami other legal matters; and it is
I understood that her will was then drawn up.
She passed an indifferent night, but towards
| the morning of Saturday ob amedsome Iran
, quil sleep, and in course of the day was able
to iceep some gruel on her stomach. She
j slept great part of this day, which induced 9
i some observers to believe that an inward
• mortification had commenced. She, how
, ever, continued tolerably easy, and passed
that night better than the preceding one;
! but Sunday, produced no apparent change
lin her symptoms In the course of this day ;
| Dr. Bailie was sent for by express to (Don
[ cestershire. During the night of Sunday she
had some relief, and, for the first time,
hopes began to be entertained that she had
passed the crisis of her disorder. In the
; morning of Monday her state was certainly
‘ more favourable titan it had been. At half
past two o’clock on that day, Dr. Bailie ar
rived, and immediately held a consultation
with the four other physicians, tier Majesty
had been bled With leeches, and found her
self aide to retain on her stomach a little ar.
row-root, and some medicine ; she had also,
I at htfr own request, been raised from her bed,
j and was seated in an arm-chair when 3he was
first seen by Dr. Bailie. From these and
other circumstances tile medical gentlemen
I viewed the case m a more favourable light
than they had before done, but hesitated to
pronounce the Queen out of danger; though,
as was natural, the hopes .of her domestics,
and others personally interested in her re
| covery, outstripped the caution of tite phy
sicians. S-.li her Majesty was extremely
i weak and teelde from Iter long and acute
j sufferings, and the small portion of susten
ance that she had been able to take; and
| when she spoke (which she did relative to
the disposal of her property and other mat
ters) she a s very faint, amt felt it necessary
to be revived from time to time by a smell
ing bottle. On Tuesday morning it was evi
dent Iter Majesty, after a sleepless night,
bad suffered a relapse, or rather that the
favourable appearances of the day had been
merely delusive.—The primary causes of her
sufferings bad, in fact, been permitted to go
too tar before medical advice was resorted
to; and the disorder was, therefore, much
beyond the power of medicine when it was
first attempted to be relieved. At this time
the Queen herself gave up all hope, and de
clared she could not survive the day. About
noon she complained of violent pains in the
abdomen, which « v ere’ shortly followed by
convulsion; a strong operate medicine was
now administered, which allayed the pain
fur a moment, but produced for an hour or
two a disposition to doze. About 3 o’clock
the pains returned, attended with the most
aiarining symptoms. Every means that skill
and attention could devise were now employ
ed by the physicians, but it was all in vain.
About 4 o’clock her Majesty became rapidly
worse, her respiration was difficult; about
eight she sunk into a state nf entire stupor,
and having lam for two hours and twenty
five minutes in that state, at length breathed
her last.
The announcement of her Majesty’s death
by the different conveyances on Wednesday
morning Iro.n London, within 30 miles of
'die metropolis, vvasteceived with unfeigned
s rrow. The shops at Ipswich, Colchester,
Kuchester, Canterbury, fee. See were instant
tv closed, and it was agreed to keep them so,
tiartially, till after her Majesty’s funeral
The line of houses from Pulteney Hotel,
westward to Hyde Park corner, were shut y
up with two exceptions—one of them the '
nia,.sion of Ins Grace the Duke of Wellimr
ton. h
The Lord-Mayor has appointed Tuesday
the 14ih to hold a court of Common council
for considering proper measures respecting
her late Majesty. ‘ “
Hammersmith, Aug. 7.
IMf putt ten o'clock.
The struggle is over! Hope, fear, anxiety,
are now alike at an end; Caroline, Queen of
I England, is no more.
The shock through the household was
violent, almost to stupefaction. About five
minutes ago, a Moorish domestic of her Ma
jesty burst, had Irani, , into the vestibule;
and at the same instant a loud and lengthen
ed shriek from the lemale servants, as they
rushed towards each other from their several
apartments, rendered alt • xplanation unne
cessary to the horror -struck spectators. The
cry ol alarm was succeeded bv a long and
fearful pause. It was a pause of deathlike
, silence—of a silence which every one dread
j ed to break. Even to the last fital moment,
j spite of evidence to the contrary, all had
hoped, and many had tru.ied, that she their
friend nnd mistress ! would receiver. The
sobs of the vvi men were hud and unrestrian
■ ed ; the men covered their faces with their
hands and wept. It was long before any
i thing like reguhrit) could be restored. For
j some time, all distinctions of rank appeared
to be at an end ; in tins instance, the most
, eminent individuals present were seen
i walking about the house forgetting their
! claims, and scarcely receiving any thing like
I ready attention from their own servant.
