year of ins age and ninth otitis reign.NoSovcreign ever pos-
sessed in a higher degree the veneration and affe of
us subjects, and their grief for his loss is only abate.) by
the unhappy malady, which has prechnled his Majesty
rum directing the measures of his Government during
the nine latter years og his glorious reign.
Upon the•news of this melancholy event arriving in
London, the lords of the Privy Couucil assembled yes-
ierday at Carlton House, and gave.urders for proclaim-
ing his present Majesty, who made a most graciesu
Ileclarati 111 l to them, and caused all the Lords and
othersof his late Majesty's Privy Council, who were
then present, to be sworn oh his Majesty's Privy
Coo 'tell.
And this day, about noon, his Majesty was proclaimed
—first before Carlton Rouse, where the Officers ofState,
Nobility, and Privy Counsellors were present. with the
Officers of Arms, all being on foot. Then the Officers
being mounted on horseback, the like was done at Char-
itigCross, within Temple Bar, at the end of Wood

Majesty has been afflicted has never effaced from the minds of
his subjects the impression created by his many virtues. and his
example will, I am persuaded. use for ever in the grateful
remembrance of our country.
Called upon, in consequence of his Majesty's indisposition,

ANECDOTES OF
TIRE S LATE MAJSTY. GEORGE
THIRD.

At the conclusion of a review of the 2d regiment of
the Life' Guards, in June, 1793, two privates went
through theesword exercise before the King ;after which
Lord I,:atlicart inquired if his Majesty would be pleased
to see two of the youngest Officers display their science
in the nicorrhe sword I‘ He assented, and was much
gratified With: their execution. His Majesty then turned
to the General, and enquired who were the two oldest
officers 'presetat ? and on being answered that bid
Catheart,tord Mayor Damn' were, he desired to see them
perform, lang)iing heartily. and telling his Lordship he
had bautighi the exhibition on himself. They accord-
ingly ltaill4fl but, to. the great amusement of those
present ;and though the Major's system savauted a little
of the old teilhael, they acquitted themselves very
respectably. • !:?,

lib the severe winter of 1784-5, his Majesty, rega
of the weather, was taking a solitary walk on foot when
he was met by two boys, the eldest not eight years of
age, who, although ignorant that it was the King, fell
upon their hi ties, before him, and wrineing their hale
hands prayed for relief. " The smallest relief," they
cried " for we are hungry, very lintigiy, and have
nothing to ear." More they would 110 e said, but a
torrent of tears, which gushed down their innocent
cheek:, checked their utterance. The father of his
people raised the weeping supplicants, and encouraged
them to proceed with their study. They diti so, and
related that thtir her hail beets dead three days. and
sti:l lay unburied ; that their-P.11),i, whom they were
also afraid of losing, was stretched by her side upon a
bed of straw, in a sick and hopeless condition , and that
they had neither money, food, tror firing at home. 'fhis
artless tale was more than sofficient to excite sympathy
in the Royal bosom. His Majesty, therefore, ordered
the boys to proceed homeward, and followed them until
they reached a wretched hovel. There he found the
mother dead, apparently through the want of common
necessaries, the father ready to perish also, but still
encircling with his feeble arm the deceased partner of
his woes, as if unwilling to survive her. The sensi-
bility of the Monarch betrayed itself in the tears which
started from his eyes , and leaving all the cash he had

ers were often halt starved fw want, the child replied,
" That is cruel, for the prison is but cootigh without
starving; but 1 will gise all my allowance to buy bri-ad

benevolent intention, which was directed to be put in
force. together with an addition from their I.lajestis.

1 never did yet take wine in the morning; but on
this interesting and pleasant occa I will venture on
a glass." The Mayor filled a glass of rich old moutt•
lain, and his Majesty. drank, " Prosperity and hapoi.
ness to the corporation and citizens of Worcester."
This brill made known to the multitude without, they
rent the air with their shouts.
On his return to the Palace, he walked through the
streets, as he came, with only one attendant, besides the
Lords in waiting. The crowd voluntarily opened an
avenue for his Majesty,forming a phatilaux on each side,'
to prevent any rude intruder, if there had been one, from
breasting in upon the passage. The scene was affecting;
and, wheat taken in a political view, forms an interesting
epoch in the the history of the country. After so ninny
eenturies.had passed in repeated struggles for and against
liberty, and for the several sucrasssitins which had' taken

turning round, he softly tiaeitlated—" Alas ! the ben

At the York assizes, in 1803, the clerk to a niercasitil,
house in Leeds was tried on a charge of forgery, Iron
guilty, and condemned to death. His faintly, at Has:.
fax, was very respectable ; and las tattier, its particulai,

of success; but, contrary to his expectation, his petition
prevailed, and the reprieve was graded. That the soli-

followina circumstances, howet er, the veracity of which
may be relied upon, will sully explain tile singularity of
the. fact :—I it the year 1802, a dignified divine, preach-
ing belure the Royal Family, happened to (pane a 1•
sage illustrating his subject it a living writer, whose
name he did not mention. The King, who was always
remarkably attentive, was struck with the quotation,
and intaiediately noted the passage for inquiry. Ai the
conclusion of the service, lie asked the preacher from
wham his extract had beets taken? and heinginforined
