Illness, and could have seen him withou; the
Inconvenience anticipated.
1t was matter Of very little consequence,
however, as | had on several occasions been
within few feet Of him an hour at a time, aud
heard him speak, and got as supposed very
good idea Of the Nan. lie is nearly 50 years
ofage, but robust and healthy he stoops con
sderably aud walks slowly; yet when he
mounts his throne his step is light and elastic
as that ofa young man. He has marked aqui-

Portugal, he layishcd his wealth on the Pope,
who now, in return, supports him on salary it
is said, OF 100000 The cause Of his banisIi-
mcnt was an insult offered to the wife of Prince
Borghcse one Of the first families in the popal
dominiuns She was the daughter Of the IA
nous Catholic Earl Of Shrewsbury, and, with
true English spirit, resented deeply the insult
rdtred her. BorghcSe told his Holiness either
