Lapland, and the North Cape, pushing his travels to ' "

within 18 degrees of the Arctic Pole. Returning to
Sweden, he revisited Denmark, and reached Hamburg()
again in 1796. These countries he had not merely seen,
but minutely examined, his finances not permitting him
to travel in any other manner than that which alone
brings a visitor into intimate communication with the
people of the country.
At Hamburgh the French Directory commenced a
negotiation with the illustrious exile, in consequence of
which the Duke (then of Orleans) consented to proceed
to the United States, and in September, 1796, he em-
barked on board an American trader, and arrived at
Philadelphia in October. He was soon after joined by
his two brothers, the Duke de Montpensier and the
Count Beaujolais.
Philadelphia was then the seat of the Federal Govern-
ment, of which Washington was the head. The Duke
contracted an acquaintance with the illustrious chief
citizen of the United States, of whom he subsequently
drew a most accurate character. Whilst a resident in
America, the Duke moved about the country, aequaint-
ing himself critically with its character, and that of the
people. As he spoke fluently the German and lilinglish
languages, there was no impediment to leis intercourse
_.
with all classes. .
Once, in his travels, he acted as surgeon to an Indian
chief, whom he bled in his wigwam with such as cress,
that the tribe bestowed a high, though not very coeta,
ble honour, upon the white stranger.
"It was customary in this tribe, that the whole
family, however illustrious, should sleep upon cree spa-
cious mat, the relations being all ranged according to
proximity, rank, age, and other discriminating circum-
stances. In acknowledgment of the services rendered
by the Duke to the grandfather of the chief's family,. lie
was permitted to pass the night upon the family mat be-
tween the grandmother and grand aunt, the highest ho-
nour ever conferred by that tribe upon an individual of
any age or colour."
The incidents of the residence and travels of the illus-
trious exiles in America would alone fill a little volume.
From the United States the Royal exiles were con-
veyed in a British frigate to the Ilavannah, where they
were well received; but the Court of Madrid ordered
the Captain-General of Cuba to send them away.
Exasperated at the persecution of the Court of Spain,
they turned their eyes to England, where they deter•
mined to seek an asylum. Proceeding to the Bahamas,
they passed over to Halifax, where the Duke of Kent
(the father of Queen Victoria) received them in the
kindest manner. His Royal Highness, however, did not
feel authorised to grant the Princes a free passage in an
English vessel of war; and they proceeded to tengland
by the ordinary conveyance.
They arrived at Falmouth in February, 1800, and
having received permission from the King, George 111,
thee proceeded immediately to London, and took up
their residence at Twickenham. By placing himself in
the centre of a large aristocratical society, the Duke vo-
luntarily exposed his manner of life and his associates to
observation, which removed all suspicion as to Iris mo-
tives and designs, and his character daily augmented the
number of his friends. Very-soon after, a reconciliation
took place between the Orleans Princes and Louis
XVIII. They were now admitted to the British Coure.
and the three Princes of Orleans became the lions
of the fashionable society of the metropolis, till
the Duke proceeded, with the permission of our
Government, to Minorca, with the view of visiting
the Court of Spain ; :but such was the jealousy of the
Spanish Government towards this family, that he veas
obliged to return to .Twickenham, where he lived as a
private gentleman, not in seclusion or even retirement—
for he mixed in society—but without any appearance of
the eclat of a public character. His pursuits were of a lite-
rary and scientific kind ; he stadied political economy,
and the history, laws, and constitution of England.
The death of his two brothers took place a few years
after their arrival in England, and on the last of the two
events grief drove Louis Philippe abroad for a change
of scene. He proceeded to Sicily, and here he engaged
the affections of the Princess Amelia, the second daughter
of the King, and it would appear that the Queen Of
Naples made her consent to the marriage of her
daughter to the Duke conditional upon the latter taking
part in the wild expedition which was to make her second
son, Leopold, Regent of Spain. The Duke of Orleans
entered upon this project, and conducted himself in it
with as much prudence and discretion as could be ex-
pected in such an enterprise. As he had Lord Coiling-
wood for a coadjutor, this " strange adventure," as Mr.
Wright terms it, though it failed, had a more wise and
honourable termination than the Sicilian politicians
would have given to it, had its management been left to
them alone. It did, indeed, no service to the cha-
racter of the Duke of Orleans in the estimation
of the French people ; but the presence of the
Duke on the coast of Spain seems to have sug-
gested to some of the patriotic party in that coun-
try that it would be beneficial to the cause if the
Prince should place himself at their head, he
being the only member of the Bourbon family who
enjoyed a military reputation. The Duke of Orleans
was appointed by the Central ,lunta to the command of
a corps in Catalonia ; but all the proceedings of the
patriot leaders were so wild and extravagant, that this
project came to nothing.
The disappointment of the Queen of Naples in her
Spanish project provoked her to throw impediments in
the way of the marriage between her daughter and the
Duke of Orleans, who, however, proceeded to Palerene
in order to face his calumniators, and this bold step
dissipated the fresh cloud which seemed about to gather
over his fortunes. On the 25th of November, 1809, his
Royal Highness was united to the Princess, in the pre.
eence of his venerated mother, who came to Palermo ex-
pressly on the occasion. "If ever a marriage contract
was formed, between individuals of such exalted rank
without the least admixture of ambition or interest," ob-
serves Mr. Wright, " it was that of the Princess Amelia
with the wandering Duke of Orleans."

" The Duke's first care; on his return to Paris, was
to pay a stolen visit to the home of his fathers. The
porters, who still continued to wear the Imperial livery,

clad also in the costume of Sicily, to penetrate the in-
nermost apartments of the palace ; but the earnestness
with which he pursued his survey left them little leisure
to question him as to his object. As he approached the

would be in Portsmouth ere this letter reaches you ; but
it is deemed more probable that he will not leave till
eight or nine o'clock to-morrow evening.
Nothing is changed in the disposition of his Majesty
for the visit, which was long since pub3islred. He will
be accompanied only by his youngest sou, the Duke of
Montpensier, and by M. Guizot, Minister' for Foreign
Affitirs ; Admiral Mackau, Minister of Morin* 4 Count
Montaliyet ; Generals Athalin and De Ruitligny ; Col.
Chabannes, and three or four other aide s-de-camp.
Admiral La Susse will command the flotilla which is to
escort the royal yacht.

able number of packages of porcelain, carpets, tapestries,
and other articles, intended as
.presents from the King
to her Majesty Queen Victoria and other ilLastrions
personages, arrived here, and were embarked. Thus,
although in the character of a private visitor, the King
is, it is said, determined during his stay to rival in unk..
niticence the Emperor of Russia.

Friday last, has not yet arrived. He is hourly expected,
however. The Marquis of Lansdowne was hero yes.

A horrible occurenee took plates here on Thursday
afternoon, and has very considerably damped the plea-
sure of all in Eu. While the whole of the population
were occupied witnessing the arrival of the Royttl
a woman was robbed and inurtfored in ker apartment.
The perpetrators of the crime are not yet discovered.
This IS the King's birth-clay, but it is only observed
