HISTORICAL ANECDOTE.

EXTRACT FROM THE HISTORY or THE ASSASSINA-
TION Of GUSTAVUS 111. KIM OP sWEDEF,

A yoLlsli OFFICER, WHO WAS AN EYE wr-r-

NEST:

There existed at Stockholm, for several years,
and, perhaps, she lives there still, a woman of the
name of AktVIDSON, famous as the fore:eller of
good fortune. Chance had so -tvell secured her re-
putation, that persons flocked from ail parts to con-
sult her.—The Provinces, the City, and the Court,
all believed in her art. GusrAvus wished to in.
terrogate her, and for that .purpose paid her a visit.
It *as not in the hand of the King, nor in the Stars,
that she sought his fate, but in the sediment of coffee,
she read -his future fate, and related to him his
destiny from the bottom of the cep. Scarcely had
she began her harangue upon the fate of GUSTAVUS,
than, full of grief, and in the utmost fr;ght, she
cried out, " Ah, Sire, what a cruel death !"
What now," said the King, 'l.Olll a smiie sortie.:
what forced. '' No, Sire, I will not relate it."
" But you know roe, I am not inam-need by fear
speak, I will listen to you without fear ; and what-
ever he your predidions, I can retain them with-
out disquiet." " Alas.! Sire," said she, after a
long silence, " you will he one day assassinated by
the first person whom you will meet on the North
Bridge in going from me."
GUSTAVUS displayed much coolness, and even
gaiety ; he'conversed for a short time with Made-
moiSelle AR V DSON, bur being impatient to meet
the assassin who had been pointed our, he soon
proceeded to the North Bridge, when the first per-
son he perceived was the voting Count RI 881 NC,
sufficiently known for a bad charaaer, but, cer-
tainly never conceived to be an assassin. The King
ran to him : " My dear Count," said he, " if I
did not know your heart and your principles, I
ought to doubt them ;" and then related to him the
prediCtion which he had just heard. He placed the
young man at his ease, by pleasantly commenting
upon the sinister horoscope, and they parted after
enjoying a hearty laugh at the• expence of the•Py-
thoness. When afterwardS the house of RI D MG
became suspeded•by GUSTAVUS, the Prince remern.
beret' the oracle.

AIrteDOTES OF THE LA'I'C; ALDtRMAN WILKES,
RESPrCTIN"C; THE CELEBRATED CARICATURE

DRAWN OF HIM BY HOGARTH.

• Mr. WI Llcrs frequently told his friends, that he
every day grew into a stronger resemblance. The
pleasant an 4 philosophic indifference with which he
spoke of it at the time, was creditable equally to
his good humour and his good sense. He declared
himslif very little conoerned about the " case of
his soul, as he was only tenant for life," and that
the best apology for his person, was, that he did
not make himself.

Equally memorable was his reply to a friend,
who requested him to sit to Sir JOSHUA R E YVO LDS,
and have his portrait placed in Guildhall, being
then so popular a charaCter, that the Court of
Aldermen mould cheerfully have paid the ex-
pence. " No, replied he, no ; they shall never
have a delineation of my face, that would carry
to posterity, so damning a proof of what it
was : Who knowS but a time may come,
when some future HORACE WALPOLE will treat
the world with another quarto volume of Historic
Doubts, in which he may prove that the numerous
squinting portraits on tobacco papers and halfpenny
ballads-, inscribed with the name of JOHN WILKES,
are a c,veak invention of the enemy ; for that I was
not only unlike them, her, that if anti• inference
can be drawn from the general partiality of the fair
sex, the handsomest man of the age I lived in,"
