FROM THE WEEKLY REGISTER
THE PRINCELY TRIUMNIRATE.
GEORGE, FREDERICK And NV. GUELPH
Prince Regent Commander in ChiefQffh
Forces-and Adn,irak Of the Fleet.
THE PRINCE REGENT
Of the United Kingdoms of Great Britain
and Ireland, was born on the 18th of August
1862; and is, therefore, in his fiftieth year
In early life he was married, according tc
the ordinances of the Church of England
to most interesting and accomplished lady
Mrs. Fnzher6ert. This solemn engage
ment, after some years continuance, was de-
clared null and void, and he took for his Sc
cond wife ga Princess of the, ilustrous
House of Brunswick" to use the language
OF the Court. He soon treated this wife with
the most disgusting GOODNESS and contempt,
and eloped from her bed and board" and
moreover, accused her of incontinency, tho
he himself was known to every bawd in the
metropolis as among the most profligate
creatures "within the bills of mortality"
An inquiry, known by the name of I" the
delicate tnUesiigation," was had, and the
lady, in due time, honorably acquitted
George acknowledges female child this
woman had, born January z, 1897, within a
year after he cosxhiedf with her. This girl,
called Charlotte Caroline Augusta, is six
teen years old |; represented to have quite
as much sense as belongs to the family, and
reported to be designed as a wife to the
young Prince of Orange, son of the ex-stad-
holder OF Holland, as soon as the parties ar
rive at maturity. If this match is not agreed
upon, She may be unable to please her fancy
among the few legitimate Princes" that
yet reign in Europe; mount the throne as
maiden, and be the second "vn;gin queen"
of England
he support of the Prince Regent, from
the time of his birth to the present day, (49
years,) has cost the British nation, by direct
a1nuties only, tzuenty millions Of dollars
he has also received excessive "free-gfffs"
from the Parliament, on several occasions.
Besides, his debts, then amounting to more
than two millions of dollars, were paid by
the people in 1887. In eight years after
wards, his promissory note for 500 would
not sell for so shillings in the money mar
ket, and government again interfered to sup
port the dignity of the heir APPARENT
his debts were paid from the public purse
second time, on which occasion they amount
ed TO 630,890 As. I'D. Is 2,942, Ill., y
Since then he was relieved, but we do not
recollect to what amount, and the London
papers nou state it as gratifying intelligence,
that his debts proposed to be paid by a vote
OF Parliament, do not exceed 6 SOC, OoO-
only 2,664,0 dollars 1t is understood
that Perceval & Co. have agreed to dis
Charge these demands as the price of their
places in the ministry and it is further in
simulated, (and from the morality of the
Court of Sc. James the thing is probable e.
nough,) that they are further to procure for
him divorce from his wife, on the plea of
want of chastity before marriage
This limb Of royalty has cost the British
nation-that is, sown personal or indivdu-
al support-about 100000 dollars on an a
verage, for every year of his life, indepen-
dent OF his fixed annuities and public free
gifts, receiving large portions Of the candle
ends and cheese harmgs" of proiigate go
vcrnment. No wonder that {" two-fifths of
the laboring poor are paupers"--no wonder
the spinner or weaver, by toiling sixteen
hours in every twenty-four, is hardly able to
furnish wife and two or three small chill
dren with a sufficency even of the coarsest
bread This man, George Guelph, with
out doing any thing to compensate the least
atom of the expenditure, has consumed the
whole proceeds of three thousand men, for
forty-nine years, admitting that each of
ltlSiii JllC WC| OuD L mere Is
no language that can paint his debaucheries
| in theip true colors-all that French inge-
| nuity could devise, and British strength per-
| form, were concentrated, consolidated and
| systematized by him and his prohigate col
! leagues. Nay, the g,aces of the South Sea
Islanders were impressed into his service,
and more than an Otaheitean could do was
transacted in the brothels of the British
| Prince Such pursuits are yet continued.
| Public report said he was confined with a
| spraincd ANGLE. How he met this disaster
was not so generally known. A carricature
engraving, exposed to common view in the
| windows ofthe print shops Of London, solves
| the mystery. He appears to have been tres
| passing on a delicate property belonging 70
| Lord Holland ; who, Selling him in the
fact. fell upon him and blacked his royal
| eye, slapped his royal jaws, and terminated
the affair by literally kicking him down
| stairs, by which his royal ANGLE was sprain-
| ed, &c.
The Prince Regent has not co-habited
with his wife for many years. She has Sc
parate allowance suited to her dignity
say 26,640 dollars per aunum. The queen
boTn-giu receives about $4,000 dollars for
fi1-money, &c.
It.may beasked, why this disgusting de
| tail We answer and say--there arc ma
| ny in the u. States who have a laundering
after royalty and some Of our young peo-
pie are accustomed to think of kings and
princes as a sort of Angels, possessing SUI
perior intelligence and greater powers oil
mind than mankind in general , though, in
truth, the very reverse is the fact Few oil
the old stock Of Princes have possessed the
| common understanding of their species. Oh
