LONDON. November 20.
Funeral of the Princess Charlotte.

The papers are filled with the mournful particulars of the removal of the remains of the Princess Charlotte of Wales, and her infant, from Claremont to Windsor, and of their interment. They left Claremont on Tuesday evening, escorted by a detachment of the 10th dragoons. The coffin containing the infant and urn, was placed in a mourning coach, drawn by six black horses, accompanied by Sir Robert Gardiner and Colonel Alderson. The hearse containing the State coffin, in which were the remains of the Princess, was drawn by eight black horses. Prince Leopold followed in another coach, accompanied by the Rev. Dr. Short; and mourning coaches succeeded, containing the household of his Royal Highness. The procession was led by 38 horsemen, three abreast, with scarfs, &c. Great numbers followed the procession, and all the bells of the places through which it passed, tolled in solemn sounds.

On arriving at Windsor, the infant and the urn were deposited in the Chapel; and the remains of the Princess in the Queen's Lodge.

The marks of mourning were universal. The standards were displayed half staff, the bells were all tolled; in all the parishes the children wore badges of black; all the upper classes were in full suits, and persons, even in the humblest life, were not without some mark or emblem of sorrow.

A solemn service was performed in all the Churches, in the Chapels of the foreign ministers, and in the Jewish Synagogues. [The Courier of the 20th contains the texts preached from in 51 of the places of worship.]

The procession from Windsor to St. George's Chapel, was in all the circumstance of funeral pomp; and was witnessed with deep emotions by hundreds of thousands of spectators. The hearse was preceded by two troops of cavalry, and 99 servants in state liveries, bearing torches, and 24 mutes accompanied the body. Eleven coaches of the royal Family, each drawn by six horses, followed. The moon shone in unclouded majesty during the solemn march.

Upon entering the choir, the body was placed on a platform, and the coronet and cushion placed on the coffin. The latter was surrounded by the Royal Dukes, the Nobility, Knights of the Garter, Ministers of State, &c. &c. &c. The Baronesses who bore the pall were Ladies Greville, Ellenborough, Barton and Arden.

The interment took place at 1 o'clock.

The letters from Liverpool are filled with particulars of the pregnancy, death, burial, &c. of the Princess Charlotte, of Wales. From one, dated November 22d, we have made the following extract:

"Every one here bears the semblance, at least, of mourning, on account of the recent demise in the Royal family.

"The Prince Regent is going to get a divorce. The Duchess of Cumberland (whom, by the bye, they will not let reign) is en famille. The Duke of Kent is going to marry the Princess Cobourg, and all the rest are looking out for wives. Independent of Prince Cobourg being grieved at his loss of the kingdom, he was (contrary to the usual custom) attached to his wife—so much so, that he will not let her watch and other things be removed from the place where she placed them previous to her being confined. They all find fault with the Queen, for being at Bath instead of Claremont. The Doctors are also found fault with.—They did not destroy the child in season; and many married ladies here say, if they had been there it would not have happened."
