AORGE THE TIORD I COURT, AND FAME • • • 2 Volumes, Svu. (Continued froin the 25th'ult.) Informer notices of this interesting Work we have principally' selected tr extracts front the general polities of the antes we'novr proceed to Anecdotes of our late revered Sovereign, rather . . more personal, And com mence with some instances of bis political fortitude on trying occasions.— Spenking of the - well-known events during the kite mobocracy, the Author says,—" It is no Nut of our plan to enter upon all the politics of this period as connected with the )4.4 of Wilkes, and the circumstances of the riots during the Breottord election, already mentioned ; but we may record the firmness which his Majesty dis played, when insulted and menaced wi:h attack front e. furious mob, that rusted into the Court yard of °St. James's, following a hearse decorated withiusignia of the most shameful deseripioo, with a person seated on it in the habit of an exe cmioner,lolding an axe in his hand and his face covered with crape—said to hove been actually tin Irish Viscount, then indeed a very young man, descended from one of the nhh'st (' , oldies in that kingdom, and who had succeeded to his title about ,• three years previously. " Amidst these disgraceful proceedings the King's firmness and presence of mind never de serted him a moment ; but he remained in the drawing-room, displaying the• utmost coolness, whilst the Palace and the surrounding streets, re sounded with the clamour of an infuriated mob, and issuing the necessary orders, which his Mi nisters seemed incapable of giving. " It is indeed not our intention to enter into all the party politics of the period, or to recapitulate all.the grievances complained of in the petitions and remonstrances from all parts. of the Empire against ►he men in power ; but we may record the whimsical statement of a humorous foreigner, who observed, that ' in England the people are taxed in the morning for•tlte soap that washes their hands; at nine for the coffee, the tea, and the sugar they use fur breakfast ; at noon for starch to powder their hair ; at dinner _for the salt to savour their meat ; in the evening for porter tic► cheer their spirits ; all day long for the light that enters the windows, and at night for the candles to light them to bed.' All this is certainly very true ; yet the people of England were nut the less•dourishing, nor have they sunk under a taxa tion tenfold in degree. Taxation is not always an absolute deprivation of wealth ; but is rather a temporary loan from the individual to the pitblic purse, for which be is repaid by protecticm, se ' curity, extenned employment, and an increased qiitnttloa to general industry." This ciear, and simple explanation of the com plicated system of British Finance, is an answer to all tl►e silly attempts at gaining a short lived popularity, which enthrio politicians are so fond of -getting up as an outcry against. Ministers, and would have formed a lair reply to much of the' common place poll - tics of the city in 1769, of which our author veinal s, " It Was in the autumn of Ibis year that the famous redress of grievances was presented by the .city, soon after which Wilkes obtained a verdict of 40001. damages .againit Lou: Halifax, for the sei - 4ote of his papers. It was generally under stood, that the King had declared that he would cover all the expences.of his servants in this affair; a circumstance which, it bas been said, induced the Jury not to grant larger damages I " His Majesty indeed, though accused of obsti nacy by his enemies, gained tnicli applause from his friends for the resolution with which he sup ported his Ministers on all points which be ap proved of. Daring the extreme unpopularity of the Duke of Grafton, the King never deserted him. The.country also owed much to hint, when his Ministers were almost afraid to put the laws in force ;. and it was to him personally that the civil power was obliged to look for authority for the execution of the Spitalfields rioters at Beth nal Green,- a change of place the legality of which had been previously referred to the twelve Judg es . " In a note on the events of this period, we find the following whimsical-anecdote— " We have heard it stated, that on the return to Guildhall, Beckford, and the Corporation en tered the Council-chamber in great : alarm and most evident trepidation, when a Gentleman, high in the eorifidence of the Lord Mayor, earnestly asked him what be did say !—to which Beckford confusedly replied, that he did not well know,' but repeated soniething as well as be coolil recol lect. His friend then drew up the classic remon. strance'now7 engraven on the pedestal, and which was most assiduously echoed and re-echoed in all the journals and Public Prints, apparently rather in the hope of softening down democratic rude . ness, than of establishing an historical documept, which it has now become." But it was not towards, the City of London alone that his Majesty was forced to display the political firmness which marked his character ; tot about this period he was beset by the con tenders for Ministerial power to a degree, which a weak mind would have been unable to with- stand. Alluding to the political contests of the day, the author, referring to one of the parties, hints at the King's exptesscd intention of never em ploying them in the public councils of the n‘t ion. Jr is itopossibleabsolutely to avouch the truth of this statement ; but it %%as also reported that, in manifesting his indignation, the King's express words were, " [lave they then tesolved to invade my rights, and to abuse those of my People ! 1 ant unh / appy Ht their folly—it has for ever exclud ed them from my favour, us it shall Irvin the see• [PRICE SEVENPENCE; vice of a conatry' whidt they would ifi L; 1;D, their ambition. While I will, have toy i'eee'e tree, 1 will be tree myself !" From Polilicswe'proCeed to' the htionbler`vir:. tiles'of 'the Monarch, of whom our Author re-. marks, that . • " The familiar style in which the King mixed' with his subjects in their anlllsemetitS reel's!' may be exemplified by the eonduct of the Royat Party at Eghain- raCes, on 'the 29th of August, when the King, Queer;, and five of the Princes - Ses arrived on the course without Guards ,or cere ninny, and ,were reedited by the Doke of Queens. berry, who gave diem some account of the looses that weft- to run. The . Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress had some conversation %s hit their Ma jesties ; after which the 'King . appeared on the 'round on korseback, and conversed with the' Clcsk of the course at different intervals, with the.. utmost eondezcension. During this time, the Queen, PeinCess . bloyal, and Princess Elizabeth, v.4re in an open landau, and the three younger Princessse, in a coach. Whilst in the • field, their Msjesties regaled ihrieselves with cold beef, ham, and veal, and se eine d to enjoy their lunch in the plain field man ner ; expressing themselves, oo Laviog the course, much pleased with the day's snort. " Indeed, their mixing thoceaMiliarly with their subjects sometimes led io the most whimsical occurrence , ; particularly on one ocession,sdoolly alter the races, when returning Ilion London to Windsor, in their post deoise, at their being set down a number of children sorrounded the car riage, to see the Ki' g and Queen ; among whom was a fine sturdy boy, who had that morning put on short clothes for the firat time• " His Majesty, ever .mrtentive even to the most bumble, instantly Axed his eye on the cheerful countenance of she child, and asked 'him whose boy he was? to which the reply was, ':,lyl,:sher is the King's beefeater.' . Then' said she King . , ' down on your knee, and you shall sti the lid nour to kiss the Queen's hand ;',ro settles.. the boy boldly replied—' No ! but I won't though ; be cause I shall dirt - my new . hreeehes . !' " This extempore, but uncourtly repartee, had such an effect upon their MajeSies, they made the child a handsome present ; and repeeted the story afteresards as an .excellent joke." " The Kiug'i fondness for hunting was often ridiculed ; but it ought to be recollected that his great object was to adopt the severest exercise, itt order to repress corpuiency... In the pursuit of this amusement he was always, condesCendingly happy to he accompanied by his subjects of etery rank ; and he never tailed to find out, and con verse with, all those ,rho : appeared to be daring • .. . • riders. " Indeed, whenever he understood that frotn the arrives at Windsor there was a prohabality of a 101 l fiehl, he always diee.cted a stag of speed and , bottom to be selected for turning out ; and even incressed the slumber of his . hueting . days in order to gratify persons of respectability, who came down expressly for that amusement. " His attention to time 'pleasures of his . subjects be manifested on many ol'..er points ; nnd, as in all business, and in every attaugement of time d ty, he was as punctual as mime, so he always deemed it essentiallyorecessat'y to observe the same punc tuality with. the audience of the theatres, when be commanded an entertainment, Th e re w a s on e instance of his being detahted by a special Coun cil, when a message came to the Managers, in less then. half an hour after the usual time of begin ning the play, that his Majesty was prevented from cooling. " In this he followed the example of his illus trious grandfather, George 11., who once, when business detaitted him a single quarter of an hoot' which deferred the beginning of the play, as he approached the front of his box, took out his watch, and,'as it were, presenting its• dial to the House, made a condescending how."' Another instance is given doting the tour. to Weymouth in 1789. " In the evening the whole of the royal party walked to an eminence in the forest, called the Duke of Bolton's seat, in order to enjoy the rely extensive prospect that may be seen front it. lit this route they were attended by a very numerous out respectful body of the tradespeople, who were saved.from a complete wetting by his Mejesty' , skill in the weather ; for, on asking the name' of a distant object, and being told it was Portsdown Hill, the King, instantly turning round, and looking at a black cloud, said, facetiously, " And pray, Colonel, what prospect is that ?-1 fancy if we don't get home, we shall soon know." lit a moment all was hurry to return, and they were just in, time to escape from a summer deluge. The evening was spent in domestic amusements, and in witoessing the slight-of-hand tricks of the then celebrated Jonas, whom his Majesty instantly. re collectele 'after an interval of twenty years." Indeed, even to the humblest, lie was affable, as manifested by a little anecdote, connected with the welhknowo visit to Whitbread's Brewery : " Mr. Whitbread at this time was possessed of a horse remarkable for his height ; amid the horse•keeper, who bad charge of eighty hot sex employed in the works, was so elated with the presence of royalty, and the vanity of office, that he boldly told the King be would show his Ma jesty the highest horse amongst his subjects '— The good King smiled to see the poor fellow on his high horse, went to see the animal, and with good-natuted condescension permitted the horse-keeper to expatiate upon his He even went so tar as to guess at the height of this cut iosity, which was upwards of seven teen hands, 'and to examine hint critically, jog that his muscle was not in ptoportiou to hie hone," (To be Contitntl.). r — 7 l " .
