At Hartwell, of a dropsy, after having lingered several years in a very bad state of health, her most Christian Majesty Marie Josephine Louise de Savoie, Comtesse de Lille, consort of Louis XVIII. She displayed in her last moments that firmness, piety, and resignation, which are the characteristics of the House of Bourbon. Her Majesty's death-bed was attended by the Count de Lille and all the Princes and Princesses of the Royal blood, of whom she took the most affectionate leave. On Sunday the 25th, her remains were brought to the French Catholic Chapel, in Little King-street, Portman-square. The hearse was followed by a long train of mourning coaches, occupied by the French Princes and emigrant nobility. The Chapel was hung with black, and lighted with wax. At nine o'clock on Monday, the service for the dead began. The French Princes arrived at 10, the Foreign ambassadors between 11 and 12. The coffin was placed in the middle of the chapel, covered with crimson velvet, and highly ornamented in an escutcheon were the arms of France and Savoy, and the crown of France was placed at the head; it was surrounded with forty lighted tapers. At the head of the coffin stood the Duc d'Avray, as having the charge of the crown; and near him Père Elisée, as surgeen to her Majesty; at the foot next to the altar stood the Comte de la Chatre, as commissary of the King of France, and near him the Comte de Nantouillet, as master of the ceremonies. On the right, on a row of raised seats, were the French Princes, Monsieur, the Duc d'Angoulême, the Duc de Berri, the Prince de Condé, and the Duc de Bourbon; and below them their respective officers. M. de Broval, as representative of the Duke of Orleans, sat on the left of the Princes. On the left of the coffin, and opposite the French Princes, was another row of seats for the Foreign Ambassadors, viz. the Duke of Albuquerque, Admiral Apodaca, Don Pedro Cevallos, belonging to the Spanish embassy; M. de Souza, Portuguese ambassador; M. Le Comte de Front, Sardinian ambassador; and the Prince of Castelcicala, Sicilian ambassador. Below them were the great Dignitaries of the antient French military and chivalric orders.The service was performed by M. Dalbignac, bishop of Angoulême; and an excellent sermon was preached by M. l'Abbé de Bouvan. There were also present the Archbishop of Rheims, the Bishops of Sisteron, Digne, Nantes, Tarbes, Rhodez,

Aire, Usez, Blois, and Montpellier; Dr. Poynter, co-adjutor to Dr. Douglas, titular bishop of London, &c. In the chapel, the same ceremonial was observed as at St. Denis, and the cards of admission were for "The Funeral of the Queen of France." The cards of admission for Westminster Abbey were simply for "The Obsequies of the Comtesse de Lille." From the chapel to the hearse, the coffin was borne by twelve knights of St. Louis, and the pall supported by four Dames d'honneur. The procession then commenced, at half past one, in the following order: Thirteen men on horseback; a mute with feathers on horseback; a coach and six with the four Dames d'honneur-Mesdames la Duchesse de Pienne, la Duchesse de Coigny, la Comtesse de Narbonne, and la Countesse de Mesnard; another coach and six, with persons of the household; Gardes de Corps on foot, headed by one of their officers; her late Majesty's Equerry, uncovered, mounted on a fully caparisoned horse, led by two grooms, carrying on a cushion the crown of France, covered with black crape; the Hearse drawn by six horses, and adorned with a profusion of plumes; then four mourning coaches, drawn by six horses, containing the French Princes, followed by ten black coaches and four, in which were the Foreign Nobility and Ambassadors; and the carriage of the deceased, drawn by six horses. After the mourning coaches came that of the Prince of Wales, drawn by six horses, and conducted by his Royal Highness's state coachmen, with three footmen and six pages; the coaches and six of all the Royal Dukes followed, according to seniority; as also the coach and six of the Marquis of Buckingham; those of the Marquis Wellesley, of Mr. Perceval; and all the Ministers; and those of several English noblemen and gentlemen. The Counts de Nantouillet and de la Chatre, arranged the order of the funeral, which was conducted with the utmost solemnity and regularity. The procession arrived at the Abbey about three o'clock. The Dean of Westminster, at the head of the Chapter, received the body at the entrance of the church; the avenues and ailes being guarded and lined by the battalion of St. John and St. Margaret's volunteers. The introduction to the burial service was sung in solemn procession by the full choir, assisted by the choirs of St. Paul's Cathedral and His Majesty's

Chapel Royal, accompanied by the organ. The procession having reached the grave, the Dean read the Service. "I heard a voice from Heaven" was sung by the choir without any accompaniment (the organ being too far off), and had a most solemn effect. The sound of so many accordant human voices without instrumental aid, is a musical enjoyment that very seldom occurs; on this particular occasion it made (together with the reflection, that within the space of a few yards, almost all that remained of the Nobility of a once flourishing and great nation, could be contemplated) a most visible impression on a genteel and select auditory. - The remains of the Countess were deposited in the same vault with those of the Duc de Montpensier, in the South-east recess of King Henry VII's chapel. The coffin is very superb; it is covered with crimson velvet; on the top was a silver gilt crucifix, the ornaments and nails are also silver gilt; on the plate is the following inscription:

"Ici reste le corps de la très haute, très puissante, et très excellente Princesse Marie Josephine Louise de Savoie, Reine de France et de Navarre. Decedée au chateau de Hartwell, en Buckinghamshire, le 13 Novembre, 1810; agée de 57 ans, 2 mois, et 11 jours."

The whole of the day had been incessantly rainy; but, at the awful moment when the above solemn groupe entered the Abbey, the sun broke out, and gave a most interesting effect to this majestic and sublime procession. The populace without were very numerous; and having not calculated on the great room requisite for the horses and carriages, were put to some inconvenience; but no accident occurred. The arrangements that are now making, under judicious auspices, to render the Western avenue to the Abbey more commodious, will supersede this long-felt inconvenience in future.

Nov.13. At Canterbury, Charies Orlando Gore, esq. eldest son of the late C.¡G. esq. of Tring-park, Hertfordshire, many years one of the Representatives in Parliament for that county.
