CHRONICLE.’ 
ale. Bienne, justice of peace at 
Wavre. 
29.—It having been deemed 
absolutely necessary for a re- 
marriage to take place between 
‘their royal highnesses the duke 
and duchess of Cumberland, in 
England, arrangements were made 
for the solemnization as soon as 
it was known that their royal 
highnesses were approaching to- 
wards England. The first notifi- 
cation that was received of it was 
on Saturday night. The Prince 
Regent, the Lord Chancellor, and 
others who were to be parties to 
the ceremony, had been detained 
in London for some time. Ex- 
presses were sent off to the arch- 
bishop of Canterbury, the bishop 
of London, &c. to be in attend- 
ance. The Lord Chancellor made 
the necessary arrangements on 
Sunday morning at the Council 
office. 
The marriage was appointed to 
take place at Carlton-house by 
command of the Prince Regent, 
at half-past six o’clock, in a pri- 
vate manner, similar to the re- 
marriage of the duke and duchess 
of York, at the Queen’s-palace, 
on their arrival in England, they 
having been previously married 
in Berlin. Although it was con- 
sidered a private ceremony, vet 
some of the splendor of the court 
was observed: a party of the 
yeomen of the guard lined the 
right side of the hall, and the 
royal servants in their state live- 
ries the left. The royal pages, 
including those of the royal dukes, 
wore their uniforms, 
The company invited upon this 
peculiar occasion began to arrive 
soon after five o’clock, including 
61 
the royal dukes of York, Clarence, 
and Kent. The duke of York 
came in a sedan-chair, as he still 
occasionally experienced extreme 
pain from his left arm, so as not 
to be able to bear the shaking of 
a carriage. At six o'clock two 
of the Prince Regent’s carriages 
went to Cumberland house to 
fetch their Royal Highnesses, with 
the servants in their state liveries, 
when a crowd of persons were 
collected in the Palace-yard to 
see the duchess. They arrived at 
Carlton-house at a quarter-past 
six o’clock, Their royal high- 
nesses were attended by the duke 
of Mecklenberg, colonel Thorn- 
ton, a countess, who accompanied 
the duchess to England, and ma- 
dame Deberg. The dress of the 
duchess was particularly splendid 
and elegant; she wore a white 
satin robe, embroidered with 
gold, with an immense long 
train, supposed to be five yards; 
her head-dress was a tiara and 
ducal coronet of a profusion of 
diamonds and other jewels. His 
royal highness the Prince Regent 
was in readiness to receive the 
duchess, and handed her from the 
carriage through the suit of state 
rooms. In a short time. after, 
every thing being properly ar- 
ranged for the ceremony to be 
performed under the throne, as 
an act of state, a temporary altar, 
covered with crimson velvet hav- 
ing been put up, the Regent en- 
tered the room, handing the 
duchess, followed by the duke of 
Cumberland, their suite, the 
dukes of York, Clarence, and 
Kent, the duke of Mecklenberg, 
the lord chancellor, the Jord pre- 
sident of the council, the first
