incapable of further governance. * * In the even-
ing, while Mrs. Schwellenberg, Mrs. Zachary, and
myself, were sitting in the eating parlour, the door
was suddenly opened by _ Mr. Alberts, the queen's
page, and " Prince William" was announced. He
came to see Mrs. Schwellenberg. He is handsome, as
are all the royal family, though he is not of a height
to be called a good figure. He looked very hard at
the two strangers, but made us all sit very civilly, and
drew a chair for himself, and began to discourse, with
the most unbounded openness and careless ease, of
every thing that had occurred to him. Mrs. Schwel-
lenberg said she pitied him for the grief he must have
felt at the news of the king's illness : " Yes," cried
he, " I was very sorry for his majesty, very sorry
indeed,—no man loves the king better ; of that be
assured. But all sailors love their king. And I felt
for the queen too,—l did, faith. I was horribly agi-
tated when I saw the king first. I could hardly
stand." Then Mrs. Schwellenberg suddenly said,
" Miss Berner, now you might see his royal highness ;
you wanted it so much, and now you might do it.
Your royal highness, that is Miss Berner." He rose
very civilly, and bowed, to this strange freak of an
introduction, and of course I rose and courtsied low,
and waited his commands to sit again ; which were
given instantly, with great courtesy. " Ma'am," cried
he, " you have a brother in the service ?" " Yes, sir,"
I answered, much pleased with his professional atten-
tion. He had not, he civilly said, the pleasure to know
him ; but he had heard of him. Then, turning
suddenly to Mrs. Schwellenberg, " Pray," cried he,
" what has become of Mrs,—Mrs.—Mrs. Hogentot ?"
"0, your royal highness !" cried she, stifling much
offence, "do you mean the poor Haggerdorn ?-0,
your royal highness ! have you forgot her P" " I have,
upon my word !" cried he, plumply ; " upon my soul,
I have !" Then turning again to me, lam very
happy, ma'am," he cried, "to see you here ; it gives
me great pleasure the queen should appoint the sister
of a sea-officer to so eligible a situation. As long as
she has a brother in the service, ma'am," cried he to
Mrs. Schwellenberg, "I look upon her as one of us.
0, faith, Ido ! I do indeed ! she is one of the corps."
Then he said he had been making acquaintance with a
new princess, one he did not know nor remember—
Princess Amelia, "Mary, too," he said, " I had quite
forgot ; and they did not tell me who she was ; so I
went up to her ; and, without the least recollecting
her, she's so monstrously grown, I said, Pray ma'am,
are you one of the attendants ?' " Princess Sophia is
his professed favourite. " I had the honour, he
cried, "of about an hour's conversation with that
young lady, in the old style ; though I have given up
my mad frolics now. To be sure I had a few in that
style formerly !—upon my word I am almost ashamed!
—Ha! ha! ha !" Then, recollecting particulars, he
laughed vehemently, but Mrs. Schwellenberg eagerly
interrupted his communications ; I fancy some of them
might have related to her own sacred person !
" Augusta," he said, " looks very well,—a good face
and countenance,— she looks interesting,—she looks
as if she knew more than she would say ; and I like
that character." He stayed a full hour, chatting in
this good-humoured and familiar manner.—Madame
D' Arblay.

WHAT PETER THE GREAT SAW IN ENGLAND.--
Peter the Great, while in England, was as shy and
unwilling to be seen as Peter the Wild Boy. He was
present at a ball given at Kensington by King William,
in honour of the birthday of the Princess Anne, after-
wards Queen ; or rather he may be said to have seen
the ball, for his shyness confined him to a small room,
from which he could see without being seen. When
he saw Kin°. William on his throne, in the House of
Lords (a sight he had expressed a particular wish to
see), it was not from the gallery, nor from below the
bar of the house, but from a gutter in the house-top,
from which he was enabled to peep through a window
into •the house. He retired from this unpleasant
point of view sooner, it is said, than he intended; for
he made so ridiculous a figure (says Lord Dartmouth,
who was present), that neither king nor peers could
forbear laughing. He was taken to all our London
sights at that time of any-moment. To the lions and
armouries in the Tower, to the monuments and wax
figures in Westminster Abbey, to Lambeth Palace
to the masquerade on the last night of the
Temple revels, and to the two theatres in
Drury-lane and Dorset-gardens. He was chiefly
