NOV, 23 New York rapers have arrived to the 20th ult.— The Macedonian frigate, which sailed on the 20th of September, for the Pacific, had returned to the Chesa peake, in distress,. having, in a dreadful gale, in lat. 35 N. l o ng. 54. W. carried away her mizen mast, sprung her fore and main masts, and lost all her spars. The report of a considerable body of the Suwances having made their submission, is confirmed by a dispatch from Ceneral Gaines. A new treaty was about to be new,- eiated, at Fort St. Mary's, with the Indians. One of the miscreants, at Philadelphia, concerne.l in kidn sp ring free negroes and mulattoes, and selling them as slaves, bus peen sentenced to hard labour for three years, and a line of 3001. These Papers bring another edition of the report from St. Thomas's, of a battle between Boyer and Christophe ; according to which the hitter was defeated with the loss of 4000 men. They contain nothing new relative to the rumoured cession of the Floridas to the United States. Bombay papers have been received - to the 11th of Jul.. They bring many particuters of the storming of the great fortress of Chandah, from which it appears, that the attack by the British troops was attended with the utmost hazard and difficulty; mid that the complete success which crowned it, was in the highest degree honourable to their coolness, discipline, and courage. The garrison consisted of above 3,000 brave soldiers, and the place was defended by 3 heavy guns, placed on the same number of bastions. The breach was flank ed by 800 men, who fought so desperately ; that the British officers were engaged with iliem hand to hand, and some of them cut down by the sabre. It was not until after a close and warm contest that the enemy were forced to give way ; but perhaps, the most strik ing and appalling circumstance to an European, through out the whale of this Indian warfare, is, tied on the present occasion the mercury of the thermometer. in the•npen air, at noon, stood at 145 degrees—forty-nine • degrees above blood heat in Europe ! Chandah, it was supposed, would afford a rich booty to the captors. -Bake Row's surrender to Sir John Malcolm is spoken ' of as an event of which no doubt existed. The condi tions are represented to have been, that he should have a safe conduct to Benares, and a residence there, under the protection of the British Government ; with an income of 10 lags of rupees per annum—renouncing all claims of Sovereignty. The capture of the fortress of Muliagaum has been accelerated by a tremendous explosion of a magazine, which laid a la .4e portion of the works in ruins ; a few days after whiAt the garrison marched out, and formed opposite our line, within 25 paces, when they quietly laid down their arms. The following is an extract of a letter from Calais, dated November 20, received yesterday :—" The em barkation goes on with its usual activity and success.- - The 11th Regiment will be entirely off to-day ; the " 2 1. _'Staff of the Army wolf be down to-morrow ; and most !likely all will be embarked before the 27th inst." Intelligence has arrived from Ceylon, though of an ;61d date, whence we learn that hostilities still conti nued to ravage that miserable country. The enter prices of either party were on a diminutive scale. The natives arc alleged to have been repulsed in their efforts to molest our troops ; but the latter were, on the other hand, suaisring severely from the insalubrious positions which they were, in some cases, compelled to occupy. The Duke of Sussex has left Kensington Palace for Tunbridge Wells. li is Royal Highness will return to town to attend the funeral. An Order of Council has been issued for the requi site alteration in the Liturgy, in praying for the Royal Family, in consequence of the Queen's death.

TIM NATIONAL REGISTER. THE PRINCE REGENT'S COURT. The I.nrds of the Council assembled on We4nestlay at the Council (Mice, fu emimineprecolents as to the funeral of the Qu e en: TIW meeting was held agreea bly to the precedent •at the•death of Queen Caroline, who died in Ow evenicl., and the Lords of -the Council assembled the following morning at 10 o'clock. Thursday the Prince Regent, as . the reigning So. vereign, held a Privy Coun c il as C ar lt on House, for the purpose of' receiving their Lordships' report upon the subject : among the member: present were The Archbishop of Canterbury., the Lord President of the Council, the First Lord of the Trcamry. the Chancellor of tilt. Exchequer, the Secretaries of Statt• fir the Hone and Colonial Departments. the First Lord of the Aelmirelty, the Lord Steward,. the Mister of the Horse, &c. The Lora President made - the report of the proceed. ings-of the Lords of the Council ; and it is understood, that the funeral of her late Majesty Queen• Charlotte is not to be confined to the forms and ceremonies fOr mealy observed, but to be lett to the entire direction of the Lord Chamberlain. An order• was agreed upon for the assembling of Par liament, fur the despatch of business, on the 14th day of January next. An order was also settled fin a new Form of Prayer to be used in all churches and chapels yesterday for a national humiliation on account of the demise of the Queen. The Lord Chief Justice Abbott was introduced to the Council with the usual forms, and was sworn in a Privy Councillor, and took his seat at the Board accordingly. Sir Robert Dallas, the Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas, was introduced in a similar manner, and sworn in a Privy Councillor, and took his seat at the Board accordingly. The Prince t:egent gave audiences to the Earl of Harrowbv, the Earl of Liverpool, Viscount Melville, and the Duke of Montrose. Soon aftcr the breaking up of the Court, the Regent left town for Kew, to visit his sisters. The whole Court appeared in full dress black, on account of the demise of Her Majesty the Queen. THE QUEEN'S Houszttoto.—ln consequence of the demise of the Queen, a considerable saving %yin accrue in the future charge of the Civil List. By the Act of the 52d of the King, the Queen's annual income, inde pendent of the Queen's establishment at Windsor, was settled at 58,0001. with an additional allowance of 10,0001. a year for travelling and other contingent expences. The salaries of the principal Officers and Ladies of her Majesty's Household all of course cease, after the Christmas quarter. Of these the chief are— The Earl of Morton. Lord Chamberlain ; Edward Dmhrowe, Esq. Vice. Chamberlain; Elul Harcourt, Master of the Norse; Major-General Taylor. 'freasurer and Secretary ; Sir Henry Camp bell. Comptroller ; T. J. Mathias, Vice-Treasurer ; the Marchioness of Bath, :Mistress of the Robes; the I.adies of the Bedchamber, the Maids of Honour, and the Pages of Honour, with the Attorney and Solicitor-General. &c. Her Majesty has made a will. It appears that she was not possessed of 30001. of money at her demise, and that she possessed no funds. She has bequeathed her diamonds to be divided equally among the Princesses her daughters, with some distinctions ; and is said to have given a handsome bequest to Laity Harcourt, who has been always admitted to the honour of her intimate confidence, and smaller legacies to others, who have been longest in her Majesty's service. All the under servants will have pensions from the public, according to their ranks, which will amount to a considerable sum. It appears from the accounts of the Civil List for the last year, that the pensions to the servants of Queen Caroline and the Princess Dowager of %Vales were than 24301. though few of them are now alive. The funeral of the Queen will take place on Tues day se'nnight. In the mean time the body will lie privately in state, at Kew. On that day it will be re moved to Windsor fur interment in the royal cemetry. The Prince Regent, we understand, has mentioned his intention to attend as Chief Mourner. Thursday night, about eight o'clock, a plain hearse anti flan., followed by a mourning coach, in which were Mr. 'hinting, of lull Mall, and several assistants, ar rived at Kew. The hearse contained the inner case of the coffin, intended for her Majesty. The exterior is of thick lead, and lined with fine oak. At the bottom is a mattrass, and cushion for the head, tinbossed with white flos silk, upon a rich plain white satin, and an ample sheet of the same costly material. The sides are lined with white satin in close perpendicular plaits, and the whole surmounted with a richly embossed border of the cline. It is remarkable that Sir Henry Milford should in the early appearance of her lamented MuJesty's.disordea, have given it as his ()pinion, that she could scarcely sur vive the second week in November. One of the most esteemed and conspicuous traits of the late Queen's character was, the strictness with which she consulted the moral decency of her Court Her reply to Lady —, when soliciting her lVajesty fier permission to present Lady ---, mill when raised, saving she (lid not know what to tell her diemppointed friend, will hmg, be remembered and repeated--" Tell lua," said the Queen, " You did not dare to ask ow." TIER LATE 11.1.11:S1T. Preparations are making for the Funeral of hot- Ma. jesty, but it is now said that no time is yet fixed for the interment. Probably that mournfid ceremony will take place the latter end of next week; but no order, either with respect to the ceremonial or the period, has yet been issued. Mr Mash, of thh Lord' Chamberlain's Office, and Mr. Bunting, one of the Royal Undertakers. arrived Kew Palace on Friday evening, to make the necessary arrangements. It would be difficult, perhaps, •to pronounce a more comprehensive eulogium upon die character of`our lute Qocen, than is contained in the following extract front au address of congratulation to her Majesty, drawn up by. the late Bishop of Llandaff, after the King's recovery in the year 1789: Ills testi►nc ny, at least will not be suspected of adulation, for his political prejudices led him rather to calumniate than applaud her conduct at that period:— " Sensible of the influence of royal example, we have always thought that your Nlajesty was entitled to the thanks of the kingdom for the proofs you have uniformly given, during a long residence amongst us, of the cerity of your piety, (Ole awiableuess and purity of your ?manners, as a Queen, as a and as a Mother. But, if your Majesty could hsve claimed our regard on no other account, the tenderness and concern you have shown for a beloved Monarch, during his lute unhappy situation, would have secured to you the grateful at tachment of a loyal people." ANECDOTE OP HER M iresvv.—On one occasion a female presented a petition to the Queen; she was a stranger. The memorial stated she was the Widow of an officer, left with twelve children. The Queea direct— ed the strictest inquiries to be made -haw the character of the applicant ; and the result proving satisfactory, her Majesty took the whole of the children from the mother, and sent them to school, Some time after, learning that the widow had again become a wife, her Majesty sent back all the children. It is necessary to add, this object of Royal bounty had married a person in opulent eircumstmees. " NEW, FRIDAY Nreserr.—The Prince Regent re mained to dinner,lest nigh, with his illustrious sisters!, at Cambridge House. The Princesses continue to be exceedingly affected by the death, of their beloved parent, and his Royal Highness delayed his departure till after.midnight. " This day their Royal' Highnesses have confined themselves closely to their apartments, and have only received the Duchessof York, and the Dowager Countess of Cardigan. Her Royal Highness, the Duchess, _ came from Oatlands in a curricle and pair, which she drove herself. "To night betweenelix and seven o'clock, the Prince Regent again visited the Princesses, and had not left at - eight. " Sir F Millman and General Taylor still remain attendance on their Royal Highnesses.. " It is said the Prince of Hesse Ilmnbourg will be present at the funeral of her Nlaiesty." The inquiries continued on Friday very numerous at Carlton House, the Queens Palace, York House, Glou cester House, and Cambridge House, Kew Green. The answers for all the branches of the Royal Family were, " They were ass well as could be expected." The following is a translation of the inscription which • is to be placed on her Majesty's coffin : Herein ale the remains Of the most Serene Princess Charlotte, by the Greco of God, Queen Consort of the most august and powerful Monarch, George the 'flip& by the grhee of God King of Great Britain and Ireland, Defender of the Faith, , King of Hunoves, And Duke of Brunswick and Lunenherg.
