      The Countess of Albemarle .

      [ Morn . Chron . ] We ' ^ had the melancholy task on Monday lalrt , Nov . to ' announce the death of 4 he above amiable Lady . —We nefed npf state that her Ladyship was the early friend of the lamented Princ ? ss Charlotte , and it is

      most provable that the shock to her feelings on * receiving the intelligence of her Royal High ness ' s death , following the effect of the dreadful calamity that happened in her own fei * iiiy , brought on the : premature labour to which she fell a victim . The following is the extract of a letter from Holkham , which relates the fatal event

      in pathetic terms , and in which every bosom will sympathize : — " Holkkanij Nov . 16 , 1817 . u About three o ' clock on- Friday morning-, at this place , Lady A lbemarle was taken with the pains of premature labour , and in 17 hours from her tirst attack she

      was a corpse . She ha <> the best medical assistance , all of which , from the beginning-, she declared useless . The miscarriage was followed by such debilitating circumstances , that nothing could save hei , and she expired at near nine o ' clock on Friday evening * , pressing her husband ' s hand as

      long as she could hold it ; and had at last just powers of utterance . enough to pray God to pour down his blessing's upon the head of her husband and upon ' those of all her children , and immediately breathed her last . Lady . A . was about 42 years old , or rather in her 42 d year . Out of 15

      children which she had , there remain 11 to deplore her loss . " The following is a copy of a genuine Letter of her Royal Highness the Jate Princess Charlptte to the lamented

      Countess of Albemarle , written at a very early age . No date to the letter : " MY EVER DEAR LADY A—— , " I most heartily thank you for your very kind letter , which I hasten to answer . But I must not forget that this letter must be a letter of congratulation , yes , of congratulations the most sincere . I love you and therefore there is no wish that 1 do not form for your happiness in this world . May you have as few cares and vexations as may fall to the lot of man , and may you long" be spared , and may yon long * enjoy the blessing of all others the most precious , your dear mother , who is not more precious to you than to me . But there is a trifle which accompanies" this which I hope you will like , and if it sometimes reminds you of me , it will be a great source of pleasure to me . I shall be most happy to see you , for it is long" since I have had that pleasure . u Adieu , my dear Lady A— , and believe me ever , " Your affectionate and sincere friend , ( Signed ) " CHARLOTTE .
