masters, which his good taste selected in Italy.

_The late Queen Caroline._--A servant entered in haste to induce me to
go down to the sea-shore, and witness the embarkation of the P----ss
of W----s. I immediately sallied forth, and found her r----l h----ss
seated on the shingles, the _adopted boy_ at her feet; and on her left
sat, with the skirts of his coat spread under his r----l mistress,
to protect her from the stones, our old ally Sir W----m G----l. The
frigate had arrived off Worthing some days previous, commanded by
the handsome Captain K----g; but her r----l h----ss was deterred from
embarking there by a numerous assemblage of John Bulls, their wives,
and babes, who were so rude and impetuous, as to terrify and induce
her to take refuge on a less populous shore. The lively and merry Lady

on the point of addressing him, but fortunately recovered my presence
_d'esprit_, and did not commit such a breach of etiquette, although
there was such a total deficiency of r----l dignity in the group that
I might almost have been excused. In half an hour the cutter put off
from the frigate: Captain K--g came from W---- by land, and apologized
for the delay. Her r----l h----ss replied in a tremulous voice "Never
mind!" A small group of persons kept a respectful distance and a
profound silence. One old man blessed her and wished her a
safe return--when her footman burst into tears. The ocean raged
tempestuous, as
