ANECDOTE OF THE LATE KING OF PADEETA.--It
has often been juin), °bier ved, that great events Come-
times fpring from trifling caufes. This is exemplified
in a circumliance that occurred at the commencement
of the late war. The King of Pruflia, the Duke of
Brunfwick and General Clairfayt had concerted 2R
attack on the French. It was made at the appointed
time, but the French were prepared, and the Allies re-
treated without fuccefs. The three Chiefs again met,
and the King of Pruffia opened the converfation by
obletving..•••" Well, this attack has failed, and it now
only t ernains to confult what farther is to be done."
Gen. Clatrfayt anfwercd with fame afperity, " Con-
Cult ation will be ufelefs; for though there are only three
of tls here, one of us is a traitor : It was utterly
imptffible that the French could have known of the
attack itielf, the point where it was made, and have
preparcd themfaves as they did, unlefs our ferret had
bien betrayed, and I therefore repeat that one of ars
is'a traltar."—'rhe King immediately replied—" Up
on my word, General, this is extraordinary lan
guage : 1 am a Sovereign, and accountable to no•
body for my aftions, but, however, to thew that
your chat ge does not apply to me, I here declare,
upon my honour, that I never mentioned the circum-
fiance to a (Ingle creature alive—exclt to the Countef
Lufianou."—This lady was his Majetty's miitrets,
and, no doubt, knew the value of the ferret too well
not to fell it for a handfome bribe. She was banifls-
ed from the capital after the King's death. Such arc
effcCis nt jeerer .ish"rterae.
