death of Her Majesty the Queen of Eng
land ho died on the 7th August, of an
iaflmmation in the bowels, after about a
Week's illness ; particulars ot w.ncri Wfll
be fou:iJ i the proper columns.
The particulars of the last moments of
the Qjen are, as will be seen, principal
lv extracted from the English papers de
nted to her cause. And when we re
collect that the representations respecting
the exits of many individuals who have
acteJ distinguished parts in life, such as
Voltaire, Hume, Addison, and so on. are
described by pretended eye-witnesses in
directly contradictory terms, and are still
a subject of dispute among writers, it is
calculated to impair our belief in any re
lations not authenticated by witnesses on
opposite sides.
Tne " melancholy tidings" of the de
mise of the Queen reached the King off
ftillvhead, oi board his yacht. . His Ma
jesty was ranch affected at the sudden

for all the vessels attending him to strike
Xheir colours half mast high.

LAST MOMENTS AND DEA TH OF
HER MAJESTV.
Hammersmith, half past 3 o'clock, P. M.
All here is alarm and confusion. A
report is afloat that the Queen has had a
relapse. No satisfactory arswer can be
obtained from the servants at Branden
burgh house. This morning bulletin
still stands .at the gate. It is this :
" The Queen has passed the night with
out sleep : her Majesty's symptoms are
not worse than yesterday.
M. BAILLIE,
H. AINSLIE,
W. G. MATON,
PALHAM WARREN,
HENRY HOLLAND."
Mr. Wilde, Dr. Lushington, and two
of ber Majesty's Physicians, are now in
consultation.
The most positive orders
are given that their conference shall not
be interrupted;
( A Messenger is this moment dispatch-
' ed to Dr. Baillie.
! Half past 4 o'clock.
The evil nevrs gains strength. The
gate of ner Majesty's residence is sur
t rounded. The principal domestics be-
! lieve that there has been an important
change, and fear that it is a cb; bge of an
unfavorable nature. The inq $rers are
so numerous, that it is found necessary to
' truant nofmnt ( orront t rank :i-. tn
OI 1 !mmrliafp hiKinpc from AfiTPflnir th
avenue. Dr. baillie is sent tor, we un-
ar a a
i derstand, at her Majesty's express de
sire.
' Five o'clock.
Three expresses have passed at full
speed through the town ; they have all
taken the road to London. - The High
street is crowded with persons, each
questioning the other and all alike una
ble to give answers. The inhabitants
are running from all quarters towards
Brandenburgh house. Dr. Baillie is ar
rived. A quarter pas t 5 o'clock.
The ill-tidings are confirmed. The
following bulletin has this moment been
issued : " .
" In the course of the morning her
Majesty became much worse.
M. BAILLIE,
W. G. MATON,
HENRY HOLLAND."
This account, the more terrible as l
was unexpected, scatters dismay in every
direction. An express has been sent t
the Loid Mayor, with a copy of the bul
letin. r
Six o'clock.
Dr. Ainslie and Dr. Warren; are here.
Mr. Thompson her Majesty's apothecary
is also come. The Prince Equilano, Mr.
Hobhouse and Mr. Douglas Kinnard,
came in a gallop about half an hour back ;
and a vast number of horsemen are hov
ering about Brandenburgh-house for intel
ligence. The medical men are now with
her Majesty. Y
We have been interrupted by a report
of her Majesty's disease. We mention
the rumor to show the state of anxious
feeling : it is wholly without foundation
' Seven o'clock.
Stories of every description are afloat,
they are caught up by the stage-roaches
passing through Hammersmith, and will,
no doubt, by. to-morrow morning, make
their way to all quarters of the kingdom.
Nothing authentic has traapired within
the last hour.
I Eight .o'clock.
1
Matters remain in the same state.- A
Messenger from the Duke of Sussex, has
been at Brandenburg house: he brought
a letter, and, after waiting a few minutes,
departed at full speed with the answer
I Nine o'clock.
The Queen's medical attendants are
all in consultation : Lord Hood. Alder
man Wood, Mr. Wilde, and Dr. Lush
ington are with them. A bulletin is pre-,
sently expected. We hear that her Ma
jesty is dozing, and that she is at present
quite out of pain.
Half past 10 o'clock.
The struggle is over ! The Queen is
no more! About five minutes ago, a
Moorish domestic of her Majesty burst'
into the vestibule ; and at the same in
stant a loud and lengthened shriek from
the female servants, as they rushed to
wards each other from their several apart
ments, rendered all explanation unneces
sary. At an early hour this morning, her.
Majesty's friends and servants were im
pressed with a full conviction of her spee
dy recovery. It would appear, however,
that the expectations of the Queen her
self were not sp sanguine; for, when
MrJ Wilde requested leave to attend his
professional duties on the western cir
cuit, the royal patient intimated her wish
that he should remain.
About noon, unfavourable symptoms
began to manifest themselves, and her
Majesty endured considerable,, pain.
Opiates were administered, and for some
time they had a consoling effect; but at
two o'clock increased inflammation was
visible to every one, and the post haste
attendance of the physicians was desired.
Drs. Baillie, Maton, and Holland, first
arrived, and by their direction,; the fol
lowing Bulletin dated half past four
o'clock was put forth. Dr. Ainslie aud
Dr. Warren presented themselves imme
diately after.
Brandenburg-house, Aug. 7. 4 o'clock.
In the course of the morning her Ma
jesty has suddenly become much worse.
(Signed) Ai: BAILLIE,

From this period her Majesty's end
; ! i -m . J . . :
rapmiy approacnea. io inquiries at a
later hour no other answer) was given
than there was no new Bulletin, and that
none would be issued unless some altera
tion should take. place! At length about
the hour of eleven, an unusual bustle was
observed to take place at the house. One
or two persons were dispatched in differ
ent directions, and conjecture readiljr
supplied the cause of these appearances
In a quarter of an hour or 20 minutes af
terwards, a servant brought to the gate
the following Bulletin which was read a
loud by a 'gentlemCV) the individuals
present, who, at that time were not more
than 12 to 14: ! '
" Mer Majesty departed this life at 25
minutes past 10 this night. -

' 1 i U T .
At four o'clock Mr. Wilde was sum
moned: to herj Majesty's chamber. At
that time a marked akeration-an altera
tion which could scarcely be mistaken
had taken place in her appearance. The
Queen; herself seemed perfectly aware of
the change : and, amid all the tears .that
surrounded her, spoke with calmness and
resignation of her approaching dissolu
tion. She thanked her friends for the
care they bestowed on ; her
lamented
her inability to reward their kindness as
it deserved ; and expressed the msot per
fect convinction that in I few hours she
should; cease to need their attention.
She commended her soul with humility,
but with confidence, to Mher Creator.
Her Majesty adverted also to some high -
i 1 f 1
iy important anu interesting lacis. , r rom
4 until 7 o'clock the Queen i continued
gradually to grow worse Just before
eight, she shunk for a short ;time into
doze. -Soon after the eye became, fixed,
the muscle grew rigid, and a iStupor en
sued, from which her Majesty
never a-
woke, j At 25 raMiutes past
10
o'clock
(after an entire absence of sense and fa
1
culty of more than two hours) nature gave
up the contest,; and,' aJmost without a
struggle, the Queen expired. 1
Doctor Lushington arid the Mr. Doug
las Kihnaird arrived about five o'clock,
ana remainea ror some lime, v passen
ger from his Koyal Highness the Duke
01 oussex orougni a leuer, 10 jwnicn an
immediate answer was returned. At
eight o'clock the Doctors decided upon
remaining for the night, or till! some de
cisive alteration should have taken place.
The greatest alarm was visible in every
countenance, sind no person was suffered
to approach the hcuse but those connec
ted with the household. A messenger
from the Dutchess of Kent to make inqui
ries, was informed that her Majesty was
in the most anxious and alarming state.
The Queen had several times, during the
day, expressed! her conviction j that she
should not recover, and declared herself
piously resigned to the will of Frovi
dence. Between nine and ten o'clock
symptoms' of approaching dissolution be
came apparent to all persons in atten
dance. ; They continued to increase till
twenty-five minntes past ten o'clock,
when grasping j Lady Ann Hamilton's
arm, and exclaiming, " God Vhnighty
bless you," herj Majesty expired almost
r c 1 ' l . 1 1
without a struggle in the armsof that La
dy, and of Lady IHood. Messengers with
dispatches were limmediately sent to the
Earl of Liverpool, and other public func
tionaries. 1 '
The persons present at the moment of
her Majesty's death, were Lord and La
dy Hood, and liady Ann Hamilton ; Al
derman -Wood and his son, the Rev.
Mr. John Wood; Dr. Bailie, Dr Ain
slie, Dr.; Maton j Dr. Warren, and Dr.
Holland; Mr. Wilde, Dr. Xushingion,
and MrJ Austin.!
Soon after the bulletin was delivered,
all the medical j gentlemen, except Dr.
Holland, departed. Dr. Holland re
mained all night at Brandeuburgh House,
as did also Lady Ann Hamilton. Nu
merons expresses were sent off in 'differ
ent directions, j V .
We understand that her Majesty ex
pressed a decided wish to be buried at
Brunswick. If ibis be so, independently
of the feelings which always incline us to
fulfil the desires of those who are ho more,
there are other obvious reasons for com
plying with her request. !
Her Majesty's Seal was placed upon
all her papers and effects last night.
There is a misconception respecting a
Proctor! 'from Doctors Commons being
engaged in preparing her Majesty's will,
while herlajesty's counsel were in at- ! cil ig to be occtried for an in

Most Gracious Majesty George III. 5She
was born 17th Mayy 1768, and on th 5th

From the John Bull, Aug. S.
The people of England w ill make their
own comments. From the beginning to
the end of this elaborate account of a pro
tracted death-bed scene, there is n6t one
consoling sylleble to induce the christian
reader's belief that the Queen ever thought
of preparing for another world. ,
She evinced a carelessness of life, and
a restlessness from a self induced degra
dation in the eye of the nation; and her
last hours were spent in talking of plots
and conspiracies whifh never existed.
enquiring wnai goou tier popularity
nad done, as 11 sne were dwappunitcti m
its effects. -In such topics, and in an an
gry lamantation after " the privileges,'
the powt.r, and the dignity of a Queen of
England, was Tuesday,' the last day of
her mortal career expended. .
The Times says, f No mitred Pre
late was near to receive, amidst the irri-
pressive ceremonials 01 ins onice, and to
publish to the world her solemn declara-"
tions of innocence." Of these declara
tions none specifically appear; but the
Times still speak truly, and lamentable it
is to reflect upon, net only that no ft mit
red Prelate" was present, but that reli
gion .was altogether forgotten in the last
" peaceful moments" of her Majesty's life.
We hear of her Majesty making codicils
to her. will -we hear of her Majesty talk
ing over her worldly affairs to Alderman
Wood we hear of her Majesty entrea
ting her legal advisers to stay with her -we
hear of her Majesty's banker arriving
at a full gallop but we hear of no cler
gyman haying been called upon (the Rev. '
Mr. Wood mentioned is a lad, a son of .
the' Alderman's at Cambridge, but we
much doubt his (being, in orders j ...We
certainly do not1 hear of her Majesty's .
prayers, nor of her Majesty's participa
tion in the Blessed Communion of our
Holy Church. 1
We have no hesitation in saying, that
a more appalling, cheerless description of
a deathbed we never read ; and ' howev
er suitable to the close of such a life as
the Queen's, most assuredly, no paper, .
except the Times, could have been so ig-
noran of right, so careless of respect for
a patroness's memory, or so disrespect
ful to jthe good feelings of the reputable
proportion of its readers, as to have re
corded it with an air of triumph !
LONDON, AUGUST 10.
Letters of the 20th ult. which Wrived
yesterday from St. Petersburg, are silent
on thej question of war with J urkey. ,
The communications of Odesa had been
facilitated by the establishment of a pokt
three times a week.
The only private information received
yesterday on the affairs of Turkey, was
contained in letters of the 24th ult. from
Trieste. An Austrian vessel had arrived
therej from Smyrna with fugitives. The
cause of the Greeks was understood to be
declining in the Morea; but it had ac
quired strength in Romelia, and was be
coming extremely formidable to theTpr
kish power in that quarter. This latter "
circumstance encourages tne hope of the
preservation of peace. i '
