The princes wish was received by the
king rather ungracionssy. and he Was
called back. Nothing has become known
about the meeting between Prince William
and the princess. From Berlin the prince
went 70 Tepiitx 10 take the waters there,
and General Natzmes attended him After
this the prince accompanied his father on
his journey to Italy, and during this Jour
ney the king noticed that the passion Was
stiii burning in the heart of hIs beloved
son. In the hope perhaps Of removing
after eli the obstacles 70 the match, he con-
voked the state council. But this also de-
ciared itself against the marriage. The

princess by her aunt. the Princess Augusta.
but the ministers declared that the adop-
ton could not have the desired effect. Be-

whose daughter was married TO Prince
Williams younger brother, Prince Charles,
raised o claim that the succession should
pass over to the descendants of the latter if
Prince William should marry the Catholic
Princess Radxiwiil. Considering all these
difficulties the king made up his mind, and
finally refused his consent to the union.
In letter overlooking with paternal affec-
ton he explained TO his son that he had
done all In his power. but in vain. and that.
therefore, the prince must definitely give
up his love. The following letter shows
the impression produced by this decision
upon the unhappy prince. He writes from
