HOUSE OF CoBouRe The house Of SAKE
Cobnrg is indisputaby the most fortunate
of all The existing great families of Europe
No common lot has attended them in our
time, and they appear destined TO fill re-
markahle place in modern history. The
reignng Duke has succeeded to the inherit
ance of the Duchy of Saxe-Gotha, which
he enjoys in addition to his original sover-
eighty Of Cobocrg. His brother Leopold
wac born under an extraordinary star. He
first married the heiress TO the British throne,
and subsequently, daughter olthe King of
the French--two ladies' not less am!abe
Than elevated; and, after declining the
throne of Greece. he has been chosen King
of Belgium. One sister espoused the Arch
duke Constantine Of Russia, and thus, in
the ordinary course Of events, would have
become Empress Of all the Russias. The
history of another sister, the Duchess OF
Kent is too well known to require COM
ment: her daughter is Queen Of England
Another brother has married one of the
greatest heiresses of the Austrian Empire,
the daughter of the Prince kohary, and
occupied the highest post of Lieut.. Field
Marshal in the service Of the Emperor FL
nally, nephew Of the Duchess of Kent is
the reigning King of Portugal. An Impair
tia review OF the progress of this distin-
gushed family compes us to add, that it
does not owe its success to unworthy in
trigue; its members bear their great estate
with prudence. with good sense, and with
moderation; and their domestic qualities
form an antidote to the venom which gener-
ally pursues career Of success.-Haw-
kins's Germany.
