into the world at the term of seven months. The
editeitinir of the young Prince, span whose prim-
eirirs and abilities so much of the future happiness
of these kingdoms was destined to depend, was
conducted upon • somewhat narrow system. His
acquirements were neither very extensive nor very
important; but the conscientious strictness in
inurals, and the uniform imprestions of piety,
which he ever so strikingly displayed, are the
hest proofs that in the most essential points the
cultivatinn of his n.ind had not been neglected.
The Princess of Wales. his mother, cointormie vi-
ed to • friend the following character of the young
Priors', at the age of 17. The passage is in Doti-
di. twe's !leery. She sad. that "he was shy
and backward ; not a wild, dissipated boy, but
good-natured and cliterful, with a serious cast
upon the whole: that those about him knew him
no more than if they hail never seen him. That he
was not quick; hui with those he was acquainted
with, opplieeld., and I ,telligent. His education
had given her much rain. His book-learning she
was so judge of, thong's she 'opposed it proud nr
useless; but she he;it i! he might have been in-
structed in the ventral understanding of things."
The remarkable purity of the young Prince's mind
and conduct is to he rittribused, not only to his
good natural di•poonion, but to the affectionate
solicitude or I mother, to preserve him from the
contagion of bad example. He was brought up in
ore at 'iris ary, as far a' regarded a familiar acquaint-
slice with the prevailing manners of the young
nobility; and the prejudices which George ii. en-
teriained against the Princess Dowager effectually
excluded his giantism-. from the splendours and
allurements of a Court.

George 111. having recently completed his 22d
virtu, ascended the throne on the 25th October,
1760. The death of George 11. was unexpected.
The young Sovereign was somewhat embarrassed
by the novelty of his situation; but ill his first
public act the good sense and modest• of his cha-
racter were mauifested, in the following address
to hi. Cnuncil

" The lora that I and the nation have sustained by the

Though the conflicts of party were, within a
few years after ilia accerrion, unormilly violent,
she King was highly popular at the commencement
of his reign. Looking at the national character,
it would have been impossible to hare been other-
wise, Sheaf a Sovereign, interesting front his birth
and education in England, his youthfulness, and
his u,,iuspeoclied conduct, delivered himself to his
people in a Speech. from the Throne, containing
many parasages as noble and patriotic as the fol-
lowing :

" Burn and educated in Ibis country, I glory in the name
of Bfiton, and the peculiar happiness of my life will ever
consist is promoting the welfare of a people whose loyalty
and warm affection to we I consider as the greatest and
most permanent security of my Throne; and I doubt not
but their steadiness in those principles will equal the firm-
ness of my invariable resolution to adhere to sod strengthen
this esetlleut Constitution in Church and State, and to
maintain the toleration inviolable. The civil and religions
rights of my loving subjects are equally dear to me with
the moot valuable prerogatives of my Crown, and as the
rarest foundation of the whole, and the best means to draw
down the Divine favour on my reign, it is my fund purpose
to maintenance and encourage the practice of true religion
and whine."
Ili. Majesty very soon evinced that his considera-
tion In preserve the welfare of his people, by COIN
statutional principles and actions, was not confined
'to professions. Within six months after his twee,.
sion to the Throne, he ire° tttttt ended famous
alteration of the law, by which the Judges were
'tinkled independent of the Crow it. Of the ins-
lentmire of this measure, we cannot better speak
than in the words of Blackstone:—

that idle curiosity which iv ever buoy on such oc-
casions. The wisdom of his choice wet completely
proved, in the lung course of happioess w bleb his
late Majesty enjoyed with • Consort, whore brit
pleasures, like his own, consisted in the exercise
of the domestic virtues; and who so long main-
tained inviolate those principles, which uniformly
rendered the British Court the must virtuous, us
it loss the mmt p.iwerful in Europe. This union
was completed nn the 7th of the following Angus'.

Ve !pass over the splendid details of the corn-
nation, to tio!ice the following finis, which are
strikingly illustrative of his late Majesty's habitual
piety. On this occasion, when he received the
Sacrament, he advised with the Archbishop if it
were not proper to take off his Crown during the
solemnity. Ilia Grace hesitated. The King im-
mediately removed it, and placed it beside hiss,
until that part of the ceremony was concluded.
On the same night, when he retired to rest, 1w
composed a solemn prayer, imploring a blessing on
his future reign, which was seen on lu• table the
next morning. The preceding frets, and several
others which we have, collected, are derived from
communications upon whose authenticity we can
depend.

Our object, in this hasty memoir, being only to
notice such public events as may illustrate his late
Majesty's private character, we must necessarily
pass over many of the occurrences of a reign, un-
exampled in its length, as well as its impatience.
The early years of the reign of George 111. were
distracted by 'early conflicts of the most virulent
nature. These produced changes of Ministry,
which demanded from the King the exercise of the
strongest forbearance, as well us the greatest ad-
dress. On the resignation of the first Pitt, in
1761, the King displayed at once the firmness and
benevolence of his nature. His Majesty expressed
concern at the loss of so able • Minister ; sod to
chew the favourable sense he entertained of his ser-
vices, made him an unlimited oiler of any rewards
in the power of the Crown to bestow; at the same
time he avowed himself satisfied with the opinion
which the majority of the Council had pronomiced
against that of Mr. Pitt. The great Minister was
everpowered by the nobleness of this proceeding :
" I confess, Sire," he said, " I had but too much
reason to expect your Majesty'. displeasure. I did
not come prepared for this exceeding good ate
pardon me, Sire, it overpowers—it oppresses me."
He burst into tram

About this terrine] of his reign, his Msj sty had
to bear up agvinvt a spirit, not only smonget the
populace, but d►splsying itself very violently hi
some constituted authorities, which to the divas-
sionate observation of the present day must reseed
more of the character of licentiousness, than of a
genuine love of freedom. The popular cools's,-
' a which arose out of the factious violence of
Wilkes and his adherents are as disgraceful to the
character of the people, as armee of the measures
which were taken to repress them were iuconsi•trnt
with our present notions of constitutional justice.
The King's conduct throughout this trying period
was manly and consiatent.

The American war commenced in 1773. This
contest has already beets subjected to the impartial
scrutiny of history. It is quite clear that the war
was originally inspolitic, and that it wog wrote's-
sarily prolonged. 13tot, although it INS been the
fashion to miceibe much of the perseverance its this
calamitous contest to the personal chronicler of the
Sovereign, it will, we think, be conceded, that the
abdication of so large a portion of his hereditary
dominions was no determination to be lightly or
hastily adopted by the King of England. Ilia
Majesty's sentiments en this 'object were magus-
niinously evinced on his first inte►view with Mr.
Adams, the Ambassador of the United States.
" 1 was the last man in the kingdom, Sir," lie
said, lt to consent to the independence of Autet ice ;
but now it is granted, I shall be the last man in
the world to sanction a viola ' of it."
The riots in London, in 1780, which► threatened
to overturn the very foundations of the Govern-
ment, called forth, in a most signal manner, the
energies of the King's character. It is an undoubt-
ed fact, that when the advisers of the Sotereign
were in a state of confusion and alarm, bordering on
despair, lie at once decided upon those necessary
measures of military assistance, which effectually
repressed the tremendous dangers of • populace so
infuriated. The fallowing is ass interesting account
of this memorable transaction :

At the Council, on Ilse morning of the 7th of
June, the King assisted in person. The great
question was there discussed •n which hinged the
protection and preservation of the capital ; a qiies-
lion respecting which, the first legal cli..rdciers
were divided, and on which Lord hlansfield him-
self was with maims accused of never having clearly
expressed his opinion up to that time. Doubts
existed whether persons riotously collected loge-
getlwr and committing outrages and infractions or

order fur the purpose. In this emergency. when
every moment was precious, Mr.lVstlderburn, since
successively raised to the dignity of a Boron, und
of all Etirl of Great Britain, who was then Attos•
hey-General, having been called its to the Council
table, and ordered by the Kroll to deliver his offi-
cial opinion on the point, ►tated in the most precise.
terms that any such assemblage might he dispersed
by military force, without waiting for forms, or
reading the Act in question. Is Is that your decla-
ration of the law, us Attorney-General ?" said the
King. Wedderburn answerisig decidedly in the
alientative, " Then so let it he dour," rejoined 'tie
Majesty. The Attorney-General drew up the order
immediately, which the King himself signed, and
on which Lord Areshert acted the same evening :
the complete suppression of the riots followed in
the course of a few hours. Never had any people
a guesser oblivion to the judicious intrepidity of
the Sovereign.

It has be;ii stated to us us ■ fact, upon which we
can rely, that the firm conduct of the King, on
this remarkable occasion, arose out of a conversa-
tion with the late Mr. De Luc; a gentleman of
whose sensible suggestions the King often availed
himself.

The second William Pitt come into rower in
1783. This wilt, without doubt, the most impor-
tant tent of the King's life. Never was at, Eng-
livh Mir.ister invested with such unbounded power
no this greet statesman, and never did a servant of
the Crown better deserve the ronfidence that was
placed in him.

In 11788 his late Majesty was attacked by that
malady which has, for the last ten years, deprived
his family and Ins people of the guidance of his
once active and benevolent mind. It is believed,
that soon after his accruioll to the throne, the King
had r slight attack of a similar indisposition. The
national gloom produced by this severe visitation in
1788, and the winversal joy manifested on the sod-
den recovery of the Monarch, are well known events.
The follosing extraordinary circumstance has, we
believe, never been made public :
On the 23d February, 1789, Mr. Pitt and Lord
Melville were dining with Lord Chesterfield, when
a letter was brought to the former, which he read,
and sitting next to Lord Melville, gave it to him
tinder the table, and whispered, when be had looked
at it, it would be better for them to talk it over in
Lord Chesterfield's dressing-room. This proved
in be is letter in the King'. own hand, announcing
his recovery to Mr. Pitt, in terms somewhat as
follows :

" The King renews, with great satisfaction, his commu-
nication with Mr. Pitt, slier the long suspension of their
intercourse, owing to his very tedious and painful illness.
lie is fearful t►at during this interval, the public interests
have suffered great inconvenience and difficulty.

It is moat desirable that immediate measures should be
bilges for restoring the enaction, of his government, sad
Mr. Pitt will consult with the Lord Chancellor to-morrow
morning ■pun the most expedient means fur that purpose;
and the King will receive Mr. Pill at Kew afterward% about
one s'elocii."

There could be no hesitation on the part of Mr.
Pitt; but having held the necessary conference
with the Chancellor, he waited upon the King at
the appointed time, and found him perfectly of
sound mind, and in every respect as before his
illness, competent to all the affairs of his public
station.

This was the first notice in any way which Mr.
Pitt received of this most important event; the
reports of the physicians had indeed been of late
more favourable ; but Lord Melville verily believed
there was not a man except Dr. Willis who enter-
tained the smallest hope of the restoration of the
King's mind. Mr. Pitt continually declared this
opinion to Lord Melville, and they had both deter-
mined to return to the Bar, ■s the dissolution of
the ministry was then on the point of tilting place.
The letter in question Lord Melville took from
Mr. Pitt, saying hr had a trick of losing wipers,
sand furnished him only with a copy, the original
remaining in his Lordship's possession. The King
wrote the letter at a little table of the Queen's
which stood in his apartment, without the know-
ledge of any person, and having finished, rang his
bell, and gave it to his valet-de-cliambre, directing
it to be carried immediately to Mr. l'itt.
During the excesses which grew out of the spirit
of anarchy called into action by the French Revo-
lution, the King was repeatedly exposed to the in-
sults sod attacks of a licentious mob. Out each of
these occasions he manifested the utmost fortitude
and calmness—his personal courage astonished his
friends, and owed his enemies.

The saute qualities were displayed in 1890, when
a maniac. at Ihur}.lssie Theatre, fired at the Royal
person. The following account of this event is ex.
trusted from WraxaTt illimuirs. Upon this occa-
sion, one of the Lords in Waiting congsululated his
Miljesty upon the fortitude which 14e displayed,
when his Mniesty replied, " Why should j fear
—did I not know Ilt.tt the danger was over r

mind, sad stscatiaa emy dis ciseept himself, which

between She entwine's° of 'the play sod the ennonieweannot
or the fare?, as he would have done on any other night."
The King manifested • like canton:homy com-
rovure after the attempt made to ossosinote him by
Margaret Nicholson.
During Ow long contest against the military
spirit of France, his late Majesty uniformly sanc-
tioned and warmly supported the struggles of
Great Britain, when almost every other country
was el the fret of the Conquerer. Although moot
desirous fur an honourable peace, he would never
hotels to oily attempt to compromise the honour of
his country, by propitisting the favour of the ambi-
tinus Napoleon. The preliminaries of the peace of
Amiens were concluded without his knowledge or
concurrence. On reading the letter communicat-
ing this importcsit intelligence, he said to those
about him, " 1 have received starios.mg stews, lint
it is tin secret. Preliminaries oh 1., :n i nrr tiglied
with France. I knew noising of n ishat.ver ; but
since it is made, I sincerely tint. II ni+y prove a
lasting peace."

We are approaching that period wirers the inde-
pendence of the European States appeored seedy
to be (-lonely swallowed up a 11 sr militrity pre-
porideratice of France. The Kiog's heart expand-
ed to willies. the glorious tallying cry of Ins whole
people on the prospect of iova•rou; rod he saw, in
the mighty victory of Trafalgar, the total &slum-
tion of the hovel power of our enemy. But, like
his great Minister, it was not permitted to hum to
witness that succession of triumph, which fluidly
placed this country iu the most commanding at-
titude of her history, seed broke down, for gene-
rations, the once-called invincible power which
aimed at enlivened empire. The glories of Spain
had just commenced, when, in November 1810, the
King was baited by that malady whose COOllllllllllCe
hes been so long deplored, and from which he has
only been released by the hand of death.
Over the last lime years of his late Majesty's life
on awful veil has bran drawn. 111 the periods of
the deepest national solicitude his mind has felt
no interest ; iu the hour of the most acute do-
mestic feeling, his eye lies been tearless. Almost
the last time we saw this venerable Sovereign, was
on the day when his people, with one accord, de.
voted themselves to rejoicing, in honour of his
completion of a period of his reign, for beyond
the common term of dominion. tie was blind—
but as he rode through the assembled thousands
of his subjects Isis consiteuance was dilated by the
goodness and the rapture of his heart ; he was
indeed the object of every one's veneration and
love. In ■ few weeks our of the most afflicting
domestic cal unities he had ever experienced bowed
hint to the dust. The anguish of the father wee too
great for a wo 00000 led spirit to bear—iso his mental
suffering his reason forsook him —and it never re-
turned.

IVe throw together a few observations and soft:-
dotes, further illustrative of his late Majesty's
character :

The present age has not done justice to the
King's abilities. Ilia conversation in public was
son.elimes itglit and superficial ; but he often had
a purlw►e IU IWO) dialogue and as often entered
into it to relieve himself front the weight of su-
perior thoughts. The King taking exercise and
amusing liinioelf with those about him, and the
King in his Cabinet, were two different men. In
the discussion of public affairs lie was astonish-
ingly fluent and acute ; and his habits of business
enabled him to refer with ease to the bearings of
every subject. His successive Ministers have each
borne testimony to the dignity of Isis manners, as
well as the readiness of his address, when he put
on the character of the Sovereign. Nothing which
was submitted to him was passed over with indif-
ference or haste. Every paper which came under
his eve contained marks of his observation ; and
the notes, which he almost invariably inserted in
the margin, were remarkable as well for the strong
sense as the pithiness of their character.

The King was not a great reader ; indeed he
scarcely ever took up a book. Cut lie bad a par-
ticular tact in obtaining information, and em•
pliied persons of ability to read books, and con-
vey to him their substance.
Ilia Majesty, until ave advanced period of his
life, indulged in the amusement of hunting. An
incident in the field gave rise to the follosing
anecdote, which may afford an idea of his natural
kindness and benevolence. His Majesty's horse

reading a sermon to his family—an attendsot cams,
in with the tidings of the ch►ld's death—tbe King'
exchanged a look with him, signifying he under.
stood his commission, and then proceeded with k
reading till it was finished.

In touching upon his Maje.ty's character, it is,
impossible to omit paying a warm tribu le be Ins
memory as • munificent Patron of the F ia. Art..
His patronage 1,1111 more decisive !has. that of any of
his Royal Predecessor.. It is true, that at former
periods of our history, Artists were indebt•

encouragement to the professors of the art. Bo:
the injunctions of Henry VIII. (after t Wfor.
motion), and the still mare rigorous edit I. of Ed-
ward VI. and Ehribeth„ hatiiilied all to- to for the
arts from the land. In future period.. of nor his.
tory, particularly in the reigns of Char' es I. suit
Queen Anne, they revived, but were anon forgioten.
It remained for his late Majesty to give t: a per.
manta and honourable esiahlAtnent tender his,
immediate auspices. He incorporated by Royal
Charter the Society of Artist., to 176 S; aiwl he
subsequently (we believe within three yr tr.) found-
ed the Royal Academy, which tirst gave our Artists
a legitimate footing iu the land, and a a acknow-j
!edged title to public respect •. Ile prevented
that body with his own portrait, fur which he
sat (and we believe the only lime) to Sir Joshua
Reynolds, whom, as President, he knighted.
Mr. Prince Hoare, speaking of the foe King's
Patronage of the Roytil Academy, says, ' !The whole
of its existence is in the beam of royal ft• tour." The
tit le of Historical Painter to Air Mak, Is was first
conferred on Mr. West, the Present vet ierablr Pre-
sident of the Academy (who respectfully • !echoed the
honour of Knighthood). This distinction ww, the
more honourable to this eminent artist, as it was so

unsolicited nomination,srising from the benevolence
of the Sovereign. Mr. West was limit inlet' by the
King, not only with his patronage but his ['risotto,
esteem. The King sited the hig h moral par.
poses to which the artist devoted his tats rids, and em-
ployed him so unceasingly, that at one period of his
life Mr. West took up his residence nearly altoge.
