The King was taking an airing with the
Queen in a phaeton, and suddenly called out,
there he is. Then -giving the reins to her
Majesty, he defeended, and walked up.to an
old tree, bowed to it, and entered into a
conversation ’ with' it, as- if he had met the
King of Prussia. The Queen, greatly (hock*
ed, desired the page to inform his Majesty,
that (he wifiied much for his company. The
King at firft refufed to liflen to the meflage,
blaming the page for interrupting him when
he was engaged ; but at length recovering his
recollection, laid, “ Good lack-a-day that
is true—run on and iuformher Majesty, that

(From a late London Paper.)
THE morning after the* French Ambafla
dor’s Gala, the Duke of Clarence (Prince
William Henry) went to Buckingham House
to pay his devoirs to the Queen and Priuceifes :
His Royal Highness was lhewa into a room
where Madam Schwell-überg was fitting,
who immediately got up, and rudely retired
without paying him the leal! mark of respect
or attention. Soon after, however, Ihe re
entered, and servilely ctirtefying to the
ground, made ten thousand apologies for her
behaviour, adding she took his Royal High
ness for the Duke of York, or flic lhould not
have behaved in the manner flic did. “ And
fuppde I' had been the Duke of York, J re
plied the incensed Royal Tar! “ Get your
felf under weigh this inilant, you d d
old mil’chief making B ——h, and if ever af
ter this you date bring your a —e to au anchor
in my presence, I’ll kick it out of the room,
or give it a flinging dozen before all the pages
of the back flairs, by .”
