household of the King, his oldest friend
in Belgium, his most intimate confidant,
his most devoted servant, was also there.
When these hioh funciionaries were adj
mitttd into the chamber Of The august suf-
frrer, the King was still in possession of
all his faculties. lie was surrounded Ivy
his children aud his grandchildren, in
lpnIs, aud had one of his hands between
those Of The Duchess Of Brabant, who
was kneeling 1T the foot of his bed. The
Rev. DR.. Becker, his Majesty'> chaplain,
who had been for some days at the Palace
Of Lleken, was likewise present. Per-
criv,ng his old ftiend, NJ. Jules Van
Praet, the King took his hand and press

W hand again in that Of the Duchess.
After some minutes he expired calmly,
without z groan, without a struggle,
without even the persons present per-
ce.yiug that he had breathed his last sigh.
