From the London Gazette Extraordinary, DEATH OF KING GEORGE THE lr. Whitehall, June 26. A Bulletin, of which the following is a copy,

s been this morning received by Secretary Sir

Robert Peel, one of his Majesty's principal Secretaries of S tile: v "Windsor Castle, June 26. It has pleased Almighty God to take from this world the King's Most Excellent Majesty. "His Majesty expired at a quarter past three o'clock this morning without pain. (Signed) "II.HALFORD, "M.J.TlERNEy." In the course cf Friday evening, before nine O'clock, the physicians intimated to the royal patient their inability to give him further relief, and their opinion that bis last moments were rapidly approaching. To which his Majesty replied, "Gods will be done!" and in a few moments after, be asked "Where is Chichester?" The bishop of Chichester was instantly summoned to the royal chamber, and at his hands the dying sovereign received the sacrament. During the Administration of this rite his majesty was much less troubled by the cough than he bad been pre. viously, and afterwards it gradually subsided, and towards midnight he 6unk into a state of apparently quiet repose, which continued until about three o'clock, when he became rather restless, and feebly expressed a wish to have bis head placed in a more elevated position. Previous to this all the attendants had retired, except'Sir Matthew Tierney, and Sir Wathen Waller, and they instantly attempted to afford his Majesty the relief he had requested: but they had scarcely commenced the attempt when his Majesty suddenly suctioned thexa todesist, and placing both

were the Bishop of Chichester, the physicians,

the Marquis Conyngham, Sir Andicw Barnard, Sir William Kcppel, Sir William Knighton, Sir Watbcn Waller, Lord Stratbavcn, and Colonel Thornton; and when the physicians had announced that his Majesty had ccafed to exist, they re tiredy leaving the pages in attendance to perform the necessary attentions to the royal corpse, under the superintendence of the physicians. The body was removed from the bed to the couch on which his majesty usually reposed throughout his illness, and covered with a fine linen sheet turned down 60 as to expose a part of the bust; and in this state it was submitted to the view, not only of the whole of the domestics of the royal household, but to the out-door servants from the stables, their families and acquaintances, and the royal liadesmon resident here. They were freely admitted from about five o'clock in the morning until after eight, by which time several hundred persons had avail, ed themselves of the opportunity of not only sec ing their deceased sovereign, but of taking bier by the hand; and according tC tfce CuiLittiii account of many of them, that hand was warm and pliant three hours after death, lt is said this exhibition of the royal remains was strictly in accordance with a wish expressed by his lata majesty on the evening preceding his dissolution. immediately after the decease of the King, the servants of the Conyngham family were sent off to the seat of Mr. Dennison, (the brother of the Marchioness) near Dorking, in Surrey; and the ladies of the family, between eleven and twelve o'clock in the .forenoon, followed in the same direction leaving the Castle by the private entrance, and going round the long wait, and so away into the great road through Bi:hopigate. Sir Henry Halford, as soon as the royal corpJO had bsen properly attended to, left the Castle tad proceeded directly to Busby. About noon Lord Mountch&r! came dowQ from Londoo, and, by virtue of some of the offices he holds, took possession of the keys of his
