The Supplement to last night's Gazette contains a second Proclama-

tion respecting the Coronation, which will be read with satisfaction by every man of sense in England. It dispenses with the procession, the ceremony' in the. Hall, and with all attendance of custom, usage, or tenure, whIch has hitherto been rendered in the Hall or in the proces- sion. The ceremony of the Abbey, the only part which has meaning or solemnity, or reason to recommend it, romains. With their usual charity

of hypothesis, we observe it asserted by the Anti-Reform papers, that he sole reason for dispensing with the more fatiguing and useless part of the ceremony, is the increasing weakness of the King, which renders him incapable of undergoing the fatigue which was un- dergone by George the Fourth. They specially caution the kingdom against being deceived into an opinion that the coronation has been abridged from any love of retrenchment on the part of Ministers.

%%'e subjoin the second Proclamation by the King— "DECLARING HIS 3IAJESTY'S FURTHER PLEASURE TOUCHING HIS ROYAL CORO- NATION AND THE SOLEMNITY THEREOF.

"WILLIAM R.—Whereas having resolved, by the favour and blessing of Almighty God, to celebrate the solemnity of our Royal coronation, and of the coronation of Our dearly-beloved Consort the Queen, upon the 8th day of September next, at our Palace at Westminster; and having accordingly sit; uilled our Royal pleasure con- cerning the same, by our proclamation dated the 13th day of July instant, whereby, amongst other things, we thought tit, out of our princely care for the preservation of the lawful rights and inheritances of our loving subjects whom it might concern, to declare, that by our commission under the Great Seal of Great B. itain , we had appointed and autimrized our most dearly-beloved brothers and councillors, Ernest Augustus Duke of Cumberland, Augustus Frederick Duke of Sussex, Adolphus Frederick Duke of Cambridge, our most dear con:ins and councillors William Fre- derick Duke of Gloucester, and Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coburg,, and divers Lords and others of our Privy Council, therein named. or any five or more of them, to receive, hear, and determine the petitions and claims which should be to them exhibited by any of our loving subjects in this behalf ; and that we should appoint our said com- missioners for that purpose to sit in the Painted Chamber of our Palace at West- minster, upon Monday, the 25th day of July instant, at II of the clock in the morn- ing of the same day, and from time to time to adjourn as to them should seem meet, for the execution of our said commission ; and whereby we did also signify unto all andevery our loving subjects whom it might concern, that our will and pleasure was, and we did thereby strictly charge and command all persons, of what rank or quality soeverthey might be, who, either upon our letters to them directed, or by reason of their offices or tenures, or otherwise, were to do any service at the said day or time of our coronation, that they would duly give their attendance accord- ingly, in all respects furnished and appointed as to so great a solemnity appertained], and answerable to the dignities and places which every one of them respectively held and enjoyed, and of that they, or any of them, were not to fail, as they would answer the contrary at their perils, unless upon special reasons by ourself under our hand to be allowed, we should dispense with ally of their services or attend- ances : " And whereas bya report made nnto us by a committee of the Lords of our Most Honourable Privy Council, to whom we thought fit to refer thearrangementof prepara- tions necessary upon the occasion of the aforesaid coronation, the said committee of our said Privy Council have in obeclieneeto our commands, whereby they were speci- ally directed to make the said arrangements as much abridged and as economical as might be compatible with a strict regard to the solemnity and importance of the oc- casion, and a due compliance with the provisions of existing statutes in that behalf, reported to us their opinion, that it may be proper far us to omit that part of the ceremonial which usually takes place in Westminster Hall, and that part thereof which consists of the procession, and that we should give directions for the celebra- tion of that part only (as it might be hereafter curtailed) which is solemnized in Westminster Abbey ; and the said committee of our Privy Council have further submitted to us, that in dispensing with the ceremonies which have heretofore taken place in Westminster Hall, it may be proper that we should dispense with the services and attendance of those who, by ancient customs and usages, as also in regard of divers tenures of sundry manors, lauds, and other hereditaments, do claim and are bound to do and perform divers several services at the time of our said coronation, which services would have been performed in Westminster Hall, or in the procession, and at the same time that we would be graciously pleased to declare, that such dispensation should in nowise interfere with the rights and privileges they may claim as touching the performances of the said services at any future coronation of the Kings or Queens of this realm ; and whereas the said committee of our said Privy Council have further represented unto us, that it may be advisable for us to issue our Royal proclamation to that effect, we therefore, in compliance with the advice so dutifully tendered to us by our Privy Council, and having at heart the ease of our loving subjects, do, by this our royal proclamation, signify and declare that it is our Royal will and pleasure, that such part only of the solemnity and ceremony of the Royal coronation of ourself and our dearly beloved Consort the Queen, as is usually, upon the coronatiou of the Kings and Queens of this realm. so einnized in 'Westminster Abbey, shall take place ; and we do further, by this our Royal proclamation, signify and declare, that we do for ourself and for our dearly beloved Consort the Queen, dispense, upon the occasion of this our coro- nation, with the procession, and with the services and attendance of all persons who, by ancient custom and usage, or in regard of their tenures of any manors, lands, or other hereditaments, do claim, and are bound to do and perform, any ser- vices, at the time of the coronation, which, according to ancient custom or usage, are to be performed in Westminster Hall or in the procession ; such dispensation, nevertheless, to he altogether without prejudice to the rights and prerogatives of our successors, Kings and Queens of this realm, to demand and require the performance of the said several services at any future coronation of the Kings and Queens of this realm ; and we do hereby further graciously declare, that the same shall not inter- fere with the rights and privileges of any of our loving subjects, to claim the per- formances of such several services, or any of them, at any future coronation ; and we do hereby, in further compliance with the advice of the aforesaid committee of our Privy Council, declare and make known to all such of our loving subjects as it may concern, that it seems good to us that the Committee of Claims shall, upon the occasion of this our coronation, but without prejudice for the future to the rights and claims of any of our loving subjects, exclude from their considera- tion such claims as may be submitted to them in respect of rights or services con- nected with the parts of the ceremonial heretofore performed in Westminster Hall, and with the procession ; and we are further pleased, by the advice aforesaid, to direct that the Court of Claims do meet in the Council Chamber, at Whitehall, instead of in the Painted Chamber, at Westminster, as had been directed by our former Proclamation.

" Given at our Court at St. James's. the 15th day of July, in the second year of Our reign. " God save the King."
