trouble. He dislikes war, and VIII
maintain peace as lorg as he lives.
| DR.. b., related the circumstance OF
his first interview with Louis Phillip
lpe. The Ladies and Maids Of Honor
were sitting round a table sewing;
they send articles of their own make
to almost every fair for charitable pur-
poses. where they command high pri-
ces. While talking Familiarity with
him. the king spoke in the most agree
able manner of this country and the
cities he had visited, and asked par
ticularly about them. The Queen was
surrounded by five daughters-in-law,
all looking like southern ladies, having
dark compilations, fine eyes. &c. The
freedom and happiness of The domes-
tic circle were feelinglyly illustrated by
several private incidents. The family
all chat ill 9 O'Clock, when the Ouch
ess D'Orleans rises from the work-ta-
Bile, the king accompanying her from
the room with all the kindness father
can do; nothing can exceed the affec
tomato feeling existing among them.
The King of Prussia is not much in.
ferior to Louis Philippe. Baron
| humboldt, who is almost constantly
with him, told me that he was one of
the ablest .Sovereigns in the world
He was educated in private, and was
very much selfmade man. His pub
Tic duties do not allow him to read
much now, but he keeps up familiar
daily intercourse with the Baron
Humboldt. He is in his 52d year,
temperate, in fine health, and of a
forid countenance.
The Emperor Of Russia is two years
younger than the King Of Prussia, and
became Emperor of Russia while very
young, unexpectedly to himself. He
has no leisure for reading while gov
ernng 65 millions of people, but he is
the ablest and best ruler Russia has
had since Peter the Great, though /
will not say that he is as good as he
might be. He is one of the finest
looking men in the world. and appears
10 have been born to command. He
has light complexion, large blue eyes,
and face more German than Russian.
He has great decision of character and
is exceedingly attached TO his family
He is no infdcl. / know that he dali
| ly reads his Bible, and prays at times,
having occasionally great distress of
mind; but will not represent him as
man of unimpeacbable religious
character, though he is man whom all
would delight to honor. He has four
sons, the eldest of whom will be much
better educated than his father, and
his ascension to the throne is looked to
with much interest. They are all re-
markable for personal beauty.
The next Sovereign in point of tai
ent is the King of Sweden, who was
born in France and is much better
qualified than his old father, who gov
erned well. but with too strong hand
He rose from soldier Of the rank to
be Marshall Of France, and then King
of Sweden. The son is better and
wiser man; and he applies himself to
public business and isundoubtedly pop
ular.
The King Of Denmark is man of
fine talents, but wants decision of
character and frmness. He is haugh-
ty and unpopular and, it is feared, in
temperate
The King of Saxony is plain and
simple in his manners, and has fine
talents.
The Sultan of Turkey has more
mind than is generally supposed, and
governs Turkey better than has been
for many day, though young man
under thirty. He entertains friendly
feelings towards the United States, and
the policy and conduct of our minister
there (Mr. Carr, is eminently calcula-
ted to conciliate his respect and con-
fdence. DIR. Davis of S. c., is EN-.
ployed by the Sultan in introducing
the cotton culture. and his influence is
also promotive of good in this way.
Probably the worst of all European
Sovereigns is the King Of Hanover,
who is most wicked and proiaBe. The
King of Prussia is the most serious and
religious. or the 10 queens, 5 are de-
cidedly religious-those OF France,
Saxony, Prussia, Denmark and Wir-
tem5erg, and there is not one against
whose private character / have ever
heard q syllable. This was not so
some years ago. The Kings, also, gen.
larallv haze good nriyate characters.
