' horses, entered the court-yard ;•- and after making a
sweep:drew up at the upper end Of the piazza
nearest the foot of the, staircase. I was carried by
the pres'sure of the crowd, which was considerable,
very near the. horses; and on turning my head, I
saw,, wish -asroPisliment 'and terror, the. assassin
planted near. the door of the carriage ; -and, indeed,
so near, that his Majesty must necessarily pass him.
I will not attempt to describe the agony Of my feel-
ings.: However, I immediately made my way
'through the- crowd, and again addressed myself to
the page; and, in a tone of terror and agitation, I
asked him if he had forgotten what I had imparted
to him ? " I have not forgotten it, Sir," said he,
" but have been thinking of the best method to
pursue." -“ For God's Sake," I answered, "be
quick; there,is not a moment to spire the villain
is now at the coach door, and it is too evident What
his.intentions are.". The page changed-- colour, and
immediately whispered in the ear of the_ next page,
a man who appeared about fifty years -of :fp, and of
an interesting countenance. Atter this disclosure, I
,felt comparatively-happy in being relieved fors]
painful bUrden, as I certainly had iii a great measure
exonerated myself, by giving t he,in formation to those
Who must have a .particular interest in it, and had
likewiie the power to prevent the wretch's purpose.
With this, degree of comfort in my mind, T went
.
and stood at Ike bottom of the staircase; with areso
-lotion to await the return of hiSMajestv, and then -to
'follow him to his coach ; and'7f"no 6ther.ae.live stele
had.heen taken, I Would myself make an effort to.
See-ze-theassassin''s attn. I had eemained -there but
a-few minutes:, when my attention' was suddenly ar-
rested by a confused sort•of noise and bustle. at the
distance of a feiv- yards.. A- young- man in livery.;
Waiting the return of his Master, ,remarked that
something was the nearter, and that he would go
and ioquite: He returned as eoon as possible; and
addresse,d himself:. to me : They have taken 'a pick.:
pocket in the crowd, near the Kinis coach." This.
' was sufficient to, carry, me hack to the spot; and to
, my satisfiation, I .tound that the villain was gone.
• was observed atethe • same time by the elder of the
• pages, who held up his finger to me as a signal, td
follow him at some little distance- from the crowd:
"' have secured him said lie. " Thank God !" I
answered; but tell .me all the particulars." " I
,took hoid of one of his arms," he repliede" and my
partner the other ; and calling out, we haVe caught
a pickpocket, we led him of to that place (pointing
to the guard-(louse),- and there we havedilmsafe,
under lock and_ key." " But what, account does he
give of hit-well, as you ,undoubtedly found him arm-.
red with a knife " His excuse," said he, " was a
very unlikely one. That some ene, whom. he had
dresied for the levee, had affronted But that,
the page observed, was too absurd to be believed.
"'This •. is a very extraordinary affair, Sir," conti-
nued he, " do you know any thing of these rascals ?"
" Ilan sorry," I replied, " that you should think it, ►
necessary to ask -such a question. I came here as a
spectator, and overheard what you are-already in-
formed- of." "We are very much obliged to you,
Sir," said he, " far the trouble you.have had;- and
as this fellow must be taken to the. otfiee'for exami-
nation, would you have any objeCtion to confront
him ?" " I can 'have no objeaion," I answered,
" if it is really necessary ; hot as he is an entire
stranger to me, I 'can merely repeat what you are
acquainted with. At al! events, I think -I shall not
leave-the palace till his Majesty has taken coach, as '
I have_ a great desi6!.: to see him."

I returned once more to the bottOm of the stalp:
case, and began to rvflezt• on the probable conse-
quence
~of this affair. Aithottgla ,I" felt conscious
that I had, acted to thebein of m jtidiment in the
stei. s- Which I bad oken, still the idea of appearing
on such an occasion at the Secretary of State's office,
filled Me with •a kind of terror, which I could not
overootrie. _ Indeede. had suffered so much anxiety
and agiotioq of mind .for the. Space of at least two
bours,, that my spirits
.were exhausted, and I felt
the necessity of reireshrunt and repose. Ji refleacd;-
Ilkewise,-that this, examination would disengage my
plan of dining with, my.son 3:with knowing my ge.•
general punctuality,. and that -I: was not in health,-
would be stirPri4ed- and alarmed At „inyabsence.
der these impression!i, I left the palace the way'th4
1 had entered it, most completely gratified with the -
happyeyent .of this most'Siqgular. adventure. Tbe
'following morning I. went tan coffee-hotise„. and in'.
one of the newspapers read the following paragraph".:
" Last slight was 'examined at the Secretary of Su4tc's
office, a foreigner of distinetion, on a charge of hightreason:" . Whether this bore: any alluSi4l- to•the,
preceding affair, I shall leave my
:readers- to judge.
