CHRONOLOGY. 



June 26. Prince William Henry, Duke of Cla- 

 'rence, proclaimed by the Lords spiritual and tem- 

 .poral of this realm, King of the United Kingdom 

 of Great Britain and Ireland, by the name of Wil- 

 liam IV., assisted by his late Majesty's Privy 

 Council, and numbers of other principal gentle- 

 men of quality, with the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, 

 and citizens of London, assembled at St. James's 

 Palace. 



28. Earl Marshal's order for general mourning 

 for George IV. published. 



29. His Majesty sent the following message to 

 both Houses of Parliament :" WILLIAM R. 

 The King feels assured that the House of Lords 

 entertains a just sense of the loss which His 

 Majesty and the country have sustained in the 

 death of His Majesty's lamented brother, the late 

 King, and that the House of Lords sympathizes 

 with His Majesty in the deep affliction in which 

 His Majesty is plunged by this mournful event. 

 The King, taking into his serious consideration 

 the advanced period of the Session, and the state 

 of the public business, feels unwilling to recom- 

 mend the introduction of any new matter, which, 

 by its postponement would tend to the detriment 

 of the public service. His Majesty has adverted 

 to the provisions of the law which decrees the ter- 

 mination of Parliament within an early period 

 after the demise of the Crown, and His Majesty, 

 being of opinion that it will be most conducive to 

 the general convenience and to the public interests 

 of the country, to call, with as little delay as pos- 

 sible, a new Parliament, His Majesty recom- 

 mends to the House of Lords to concur in making 

 such temporary provision as may be requisite for 

 the public service in the interval that may elapse 

 between the close of the present Session and the 

 meeting of another Parliament." Addresses 

 were voted to His Majesty by both Houses.

 were interred at Windsor, after having lain in

16. Addresses presented to the King by the two

21. Addresses from the Universities of Oxford 

 and Cambridge presented to the King on bis ac- 

 cession. 



23. Parliament prorogued by His Majesty in 

 person, who delivered the following most gracious 

 speech : 



" My Lords and Gentlemen On this first oc- 

 casion of meeting you, I am desirous of repeating 

 to you in person, my cordial thanks for those as- 

 surances of sincere sympathy and affectionate at- 

 tachment which you conveyed tome on the demise 

 of my lamented brother, and on my accession to 

 the throne of my ancestors. I ascend that throne 

 with a deep sense of the sacred duties which de- 

 volve upon me; with a firm reliance on the affec- 

 tion of my faithful subjects, and on the support 

 and co-operation of Parliament ; and with an 

 humble and earnest prayer to Almighty God, that 

 he will prosper my anxious endeavours to pro- 

 mote the happiness of a free and loyal people. It 

 is with the utmost satisfaction that I find myself 

 enabled to congratulate you upon the great tran- 

 quillity of Europe. This tranquillity it will be the 

 object of my constant endeavours to preserve ; 

 and the assurances which I receive from my allies, 

 and from ail foreign powers, are dictated in a 

 similar spirit. I trust that the good understand- 

 ing which prevails upon subjects of common in- 

 terest, and the deep concern which every state 

 must have in maintaining the peace of the world, 

 will ensure the satisfactory settlement of those 

 matters which still remain to be finally arranged,
