MS LATE MAJESTY.

The following extraordinary anecdote relative
to his MAJESTY'S recovery from his malady in
1788 may he relied on as authentic

On the 23d of February, 1789, Mr. Pitt and
Lord Melville were dining with Lord Chester-
field, when a letter was brought to the former,
,ehieh he read, and sitting next to Lord M., gave
it to him tinder the' table, and whispered, when
lie bad looked at it, it would be better for them
to talk it over in Lord Chesterfield's dressing-
room. This proved to be a letter in the King's
own hand, aououncing his recovery to Mr. Pitt,
in terms somewhat us follows

" The King renews, with great satisfaction, his communi-
cation with Mr. Pitt, after the long suspension of their inter-
course, owing to his very tedious and painful illness. Ha is
fearful that during this interval, the public interests have
suffered great inconvenience and difficulty.

" It is most desirable that immediate measures should be
taken fur restoring the functions of his Government, and Mr.
Pitt will_ consult with the Lord Chancellor to-murrow morn-
ing, upon the most expedient means for that purpose. And
the King will receive Mr. Pitt at hew afterwards, about one
o'clock."

There could be no hesitation on the part of
Mr. Pitt, but hiving held the necessary collie,
!Trice with the Chancelkr, he waited upon the
King at the appointed time, and fonnd him per-
fectly of sound miod, and in every respect as be.
fiife his competent to all the affairs of hi 9
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 be-
lieved there was no• a man except Dr. Willis who
entertained the smallest hope of the restoration of
the King's mind.' Mr. Pit! continually declared
this opinion to Lord Melville, and they had both
determined to rotten to the Bar, as the dissolu-
tion of the Ministry was then on the point of tak-
ing place.
The letter in question Lord M. took from Mr.
Pitt, saying he had a trick of losing papers, and
in: nished him only with a copy, the original re-
maining 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-chantisre,
directing it to he e•lrrt.ed immediately to Mr. Pitt.
--(Morning Chronicle.)

The following anecdotes respecting his late
MasesTy, for the accuracy of which, hotsever,
P do not feel ourselves answerable, have been
gleaned by,lome of our correspondents
His hAbitit44 abstinence front the customary
pleasures of the' table was scarcely equalled by
any wivete person in his dominions who had
enough to eat. Fruit was the only luxury in
which he indulged, and that Was :cultivated io the
Royal gardens to high perfection, and served at
table in great abundance. •
The King's munificence was noble as it 'was
disctiminai lug. During his illness in 1789, a
committee was apvinted to examine the state of
the privy purse. • When, out of an income of
60,0001_ per annum, it was found that his Ma.
jesty never gave away less than 14,0001. a year
in charity !

When the King went to look at Salisbury Ca-
thedral, the tower of which was at that time under
repair, he was without attendants, and his per-
son, at first, not recognized. Looking over the
book of subscribers, he desired to be put down lOsr
1,0001. " What name shall I write, Sir ?" said
the person present. "Oh !—a gentleman of
Berkshire," replied the King ; thus by a noble
simplicity identifying himself with his subjects.
A draft was then given for the money.
George 111. paid unremitting attention to the
scholars of Eton School. Ile knew the most dis•
tinguished boys by name, noted their reputations
and characters in his memo' y, and has been known
to remind an eminent Statesman of the prize which
he had gained at school.—(Tithes.)
