TILE KING'S JEWELS.—The supposition that his
MAJE►TY has concealed those valuables arose front
the recollection of a similar circumstance. Pre-
viously to his MAJENTY's lamented iudiaposition, a
gold ewer and basin, enriched with gems and ex-
quisite workmanship, were missing. The KING
was greatly disconcerted, and suspected them to have
been stolen by a favourite domestic. Many mouths
afterwards these precious articles were discovered,
concealed behind a quantity of books in the KING'.
Own study. His MAJESTY had totally forgotten
(as he !did himself to the Quitsn) having placed
than there.
