George 111, the second child of Frederick, Prince of Wales, sou of George 11. and of Angusta, Princess of Saxe-Gotha, %vas horn its Norfolk-house, St. James's- Square, the 4th June, 1738. his constitution was sound and vigorous, though he caine iota the world at the term of oeteti months: The education of they g Prince upon whose principles and abilities so ill of the future happiness of these kingdoms was desiitied to depend, tell conducted mom a somewhat narrow sys tem. His aerriirements were vei.lier very extensite very important ; but the conscientious strictness iti ads, and the uniform impressions of piety, which he ever so strikingly displayed, arc the best proofs that, in the most essential points, Ilse ciilti‘ation of his 'Dimd had not been neglected. lie was brooght tip in great pr trey, as far as regarded a familiar actpiaintance with the prevailing manners of the youtia insbilay ; and the pre judices which George 11. entertained against the Prin cess Dowager effectuilly excluded hits grandson frosts dias oolentlonis mid allurements of a COMA. George ill , having recently completed his 22d year, a cionled tormie on the 27tis of October, 1760. Tile death of George 11. was unexpected. The yomig Sove reign was somewhat embarrassed by the novelty of his situation; but in his first public act, the good sense and modesty in his character were niauifested. liis Nlajesty very soon evinced that his consideration to presets:: tat: welfare of his people s by constitutional principles and actiens. was not confined t a professions. Within six mouths Mier his accession to the throne, he recommended the “Iteration of the law, by which the Judaes were rendered indeptaident of the - COO% is. Of the intlantanee of this measure, we canton better speak 'lwo in the wools of Illacksttow By the motile I hill:omen' tits of the law, its the staane of I. Geo.

'rise same lose of constitutional freedom, and the same desire to exercise his Nero:skin e for the benefit of his subjects, were manifested by his M ijrsty throughout his hie. " The King. (said Lord North, freventl)) would live on bread and water to preserve the constitution of his country. lie would sacrifice his life to maintain it ittviolate." Oil the July, 1761, the King announced to the Prot' Conned his intention to marry. his thus declaring the object his choice. he monilested the prudence which uniformly clotracierized I . No runtoursof his determination had pito iously transpired. 'foe King, by his discretion, prevented that idle curiosity which is ever busy out such occasions. This union was completed on the 7th of the following August. We pass over the oplentlkl details of the Coronation, to uotice the following facts, which art strikingly illus trative of his late Majesty's habitual piety. On this occasion, when he received the sacrament, he advised with the Archbishop if it were not proper to take off his Crown during the solemuity. Nils Grace hesitated.— The King 'immediately removed it, and placed it bes de him, until that part of the ceremony was concluded.— On the same night. Villein lie retired to rest, he coat posed a solemn prayer, imploring s blessing on his future reign, which was sects on his table the next inotnitia.— Toe preceding facts, and several others which hate collected, ale derived from cos 1111 l unications upon ss hose authenticity we can depend. The early years of the reign of Georg I IL were dis tracted b y party coisHicts of the most virulent nature. — These produced changes of Ministry, which dcniatitled from the King the exercise of ihe strongest forbearance, as well as the greatest address. Ots the rvoignation of the first Pitt, in 1761, the King displayed at once the firmness and benevolence of his nature. His fillajesty expressed concern at the loss of so able a ,disinter; and to show the favourable woo! he entertained of his services, made him an lied:mined tiller of any rewards its Lite powit' of the Cr'Wit LO twinotv,: at die Whine note aeowe.! himself satisfied wills the opinion which the liiiijusity of the Council had protowiiced against that of Mr. Pitt. About this period of his reign, Isis Majesty had to hear tip against a spirit, nut wily atuniaJat the populace. but II isplayiag itself very violently in some constituted authorities, which to the dispassionate observation o f the present day must more of Inc character of licentiousness, than Of a getiiiille love of ireedons. The popular commotious which arose out of the factious ViuletiCe of Wilkes and his adherents are as disgraceful to the character of the people, as some of the Ilieattifes which were taken to tepees diem were lllCllllalalelll w ttl 'taus present notionsof taiiistitio tonal justice. The King's conduct throuAlsout duo trying period was Manly auJ Tlw American war comnieneed in 1773. This con test has alre lily heels sou jested to the impartial scrutiny othistory. his quite clear that the war was originally impolitic, and that it was uniiecess.tnls prolonged. The rots in London w 1" / tits, threatened i n overturn ti.e Vel y lutstidatioin of the Gulfehlinielit, c3l!vii forth, in a most signal manner, the energies of the King's character. It is an itioloubted fact, lila I ethyl) the advisers of the Sovereign where in a skate of Cot.- fusion and alarm, bordering on despair. he at once decided upon those necessary meJsures of isiilitaly assist ance, which effectually repressed the tremendous dangers of? populace so ilifunated. The following is an Utter- Ming account of this memorable transaction : -.., • .:.. - " At tite Council on the (((((( thug of the 7th of June, the King assisted in person. The great question was there discussed on which the first Ireal characters were divided, and on which Lord Mansfield himself was with reason accused of never hating clearly expressed his pin ion op to that time. Doubts existed whether persons riotously collected together, and bug outrages and iniractions of the peace, however great, might legally be fired on by the military power, without staying previously to read the Itiot Act. Lord Bathurst, Presideut of the Council, and Sir Fletcher Norton, Speaker of the House of Commons, who were both present, on being appealed in fur their opinions, declared, that " a soldier was nut less a citizen because he was a soldier, and consequently that he mig,lit retie' ' hove by force. But no Minister would s get rite order fur the purpose. In this emergency, when every moment was precious, Nlr. I'Vedelerborn, since sue successively raised to the dignity of a Baton, and of ail Earl of Great Britain, who %vas then Aveiro, y-Gerieral, having been called into the ('oniseibtahle, and ordered by the King u, deliver his official opinion on the point, elated in the most precise terins, that any such assem blage might be dispersed by ini•itary liner, without waiting fine icons, or reading the Act in question. " Is that your declaration of the law, as Attorney Ureteral i•• said the King. Weelderhuni answered in ths Alma tive, " '('ien so let it he done," rejoined his Majesty.— The Attorney General drew up the order immediately, which the King himself signed, and on which Lord Amherst acted the sante e‘eiting ; the complete :oils pression of the riots followed in the course of a few hours. The second William Pitt came into power in 1783 This was, without doubt, the mese iiiiportalit era of the King's life. Never was al! Eng.; sit minister invested with such unbounded p as this statesman. lii 1783 his late Nl4esty was attacked by that Mitlatl I which 11..5, for tie List it) ) car:, deluded his family and ' ms people of the guidance of Lis mice active and Irene- vulent mind. It is believed, that soon after his acces sion to Ilie throne, the King had a slight attack of a si milar indisimsition. The national gloom prodaced by this severe visitation in 1788, and the • •ersal joy Ma nifested on the sniffiest recovery of the Monarch, are well known events. '1 he billowing extraordinary cir ciiiiistatice has, we belie% e, never been made public :- 04 the 23.1 of February, 1789, Mr. P:ti and Lord Nlelville %ere dining with Lord Chesterfield, when a letter was brought to the Winer, which he read, and sitting next to Lord Melville, gave it to him under the table, and whispered, that whet, he had looked at it, it would be ben r for them to talk it over in Lord Chester. field's dressing-room. This proved to be a letter in the King's own hand, announcing his recovery to Mr. Pitt, in terms s %hat as follows: " The Kistereteews with great satisfaction his com m tttt ;canon with Mr. Pitt, after the long suspension of their intercourse, owing tollis very tedious and painful illtiess. He is fearful that during this interval the puts lie interests have suffered great inconvenience and diffl• COIL'', " It is most desirable that immediate measures should he taken liir restoring the functions of his governm ent, and Mr. Put will consult with the Lord Chancellor to morrow morning open the most expedient ineatif for that purpose. And the King will receive Mr. Pitt at Kew afterwards, about I o'clock." There could be no hesitation on the part of Mr. Pitt, but having held the necessary Cott erence with the Chan cellor, he waited upon the King at the appointed time, and found I • perfectly of sound mind, and in every respect as before his illness, competent to all the affairs of his public station. Ibis was. the first notice, in any way, which Mr. Pitt received of this most important event. The reports of the physicians had indeed been of late more favourable.; but Lord Nielvide yeti!) , believed there was Mit s mast, except Dr. Willis who entertained the smallest hope of the restoration oldie King's wind. Mr. Pitt continually declared t hi s o pt oto o t o Lot d Melville, and they had both determined to return to the liar, as the dissolution of the NI iiiistry was then on the point of taking place. The letter iii question Lord Melville took front Mr. Putt, say iiebt, he bad a trick of losing papers, and furiiiedi eil hint only with a copy, the original remaining, in his Lordship's possession. The King mote the letter at a hide table of the Queen's, which stood in his apartment without the knowledge of any ikerson ; and having finished, rang his bell, am: gave it to Its valet-de-chant bre, directiug it to he carried onniediate.y to \lr. Pitt. During the excesses which crew out of the spirit of anarchy called into action by the French revolution, the Ling was repeatedly expre.ed to the insults and attacks of a liCeliiinlis b. ()it each of these MT:15100S he mattifested the utmost lortitude and a unless ; his personal courage astonished his friends, and awed his enetnie s. Toe same qualities were displayed in 1800, when a a maniac, at Drury-lane Theatre, fired at his Royal person. The King manifested a like extraordinary composure after the attempt made to assassinate hint by Islagaret P Nicholson. Dinii.g the long contest against the military spirit of France, his late Nlaje-ty uniformly sanctioned and warmly seippotted the struggles of Great Britain, whet' almost every other country was at the legit of the con queror. Although most desirous for an honourable peace, he would never listen to any attempt to cotispotr nose the honour Whist-notary, by propitiating the favour of ilie ambitious Napoleon. The preliminaries of the peace of Amiens were entieluded without his knowledge or concurrence. On readnig the letter communicating (his Illiporialil intelligence, be said to those about 11111), " 1 have received surprising news, but it is no srciti.— ' Preliminaries of peace are signed with France. I knew ' nothing of it whatever ; but since it is made, I sincerely ' wish it may prove a lasting peace." We are approaching that period when the iiidepen ' &nee of the European states appeared ready to be entirely swallowed up in the military preponderance of r • • 4 France. The King's heart expanded to witness the glorious rallying-cry of his whole people on the prospect of invasion; and he saw in the mighty victory of 'Tra falgar, the total demo • • of the naval power of our enemy. But, iike his great !Minister, it was not permit ted to hint to wi ness that succession of triumphs, which finally placed this country in the most commanding attitude of her history, and broke doss n for generations. the once called invincible power which aimed at uni versal empire. The glories of Spain had just com menced, when in November 1810, the King was visited by that malady whose continuance has been so long deplored, and from which he was only released by the hand of death. Over the last nine years of his late Majesty's life im ass ful veil has been Mau it. In the periods of the deepest national solicitude his mind has felt no interest; in the hour of the st acute domestic lea ng, his rye; has been tearless. Almost the last time we saw this ve nerable Sovereign was on the day wit.. n his people, with otie accord, devoted themselves to rcjibcing ut honour ni his completion of a period of his reign far beyond the common term of dominion. Ile was blind : hut as lie rode through the assembled thousands of his stiljects, his COUlllellanCe was dilated by the goodness and the rapture of los heart ; he was indeed the object of every one's veneration and love. In a few weeks one of the mo-t ancting domestic calamities he htd ever experi enced bowed hint to the dust. The anguish of the fa ther was too great fur a w led spirit to bear ist his menial suffering his reason, torsook him—and it never returned. The king was not a great reader. Indeed he scarcely ever took up a hook. But he had a particular tact of ot-i -taiii:itg information, anti' employed persons of ability to read hoks, and convey to him their substance- The temperance of his late Majesty's liie has alino-t become proverbial. lie rose in before 6 o'ClOtk. lle would take a slight breakfast at ei ht, and dune Olt the 14.1111e51 . joint at 01lei Ile retired early to fell, after passing iile evening with his ly, Reiterally amused with of which he to as passion ately fowl, and iii which he manifested a wu,t corree asic.

Those who hate been with hint at his morning devotions at the plicate chapel at Windsor, will ne er forget the fervour of Ins respoives during the service. 'lbis constant sense of religion doubtless contributed to the invariable fattiness and s.reuity of his mind. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are on their way to England. Prince Leopold, since his return from Sidmouth , has visited his afflicted sister, the Duchess of Kent, at least once every day, and generally remains several hours. Her Royal Highness's health, we are happy to understand, has nut been impaired by the fatigue and affliction she has under gone. The infant Princess Victoria Alexandria enjoys excellent health, and takes a cars iage airing in the Park, almost every day. It is said, that since the preferment of a Reverend stipendiary Magistrate to the Rectory of Rochdale, the celebrated field of Peterloo has obtained the facetious and more appropriate appellation of the Manchester Hay market.
