NEWSPAPERS.
The following singular advertisement is
copied verbatim from an old Norwic.i
newspaper, printed by Henry Crossgrove
in the year 1739.— I “This is to inform my
friends and customers, that on Suiic.ay
next, this newspaper will be sold for a
penny, and continued that price ; but
advertisements will lie taken in gratis as
formerly. The reason of my raising it to
a penny is, because the number 1 print is
too prodigious great to be given away
any longer; and 1 hope none ol my cus
turners will think it dear ot a penny, since
ll»y shall always have the intelli
gence, besides other diversions.*’

Anecdote of Frederick the Great ,

Frederick, king of Prussia, although se
vere, nay, at times cruel iu his adminis
tration of justice, knew sometimes, by an
act of clemency, how to gain the beans of
his subjects. Always austere and distant
towards his general officers, he neverthe
less was popular and familiar with his sol
diers, who never addrt ssed him other a ise,
than by the friendly name of Frederick,
and with a thee and thou. Some time be
fore the battle of Kosbacb, a time wl*eii
this prince was not in the most prosperous
situation, indeed, when it appeared that
he was near his total ruin, one night, as
he was sleeping upon straw, surrounded I
by his grenadiers, in a very marshy spot,
a soldier, named Spencer, awakened him,
saying, “Frederick, here is one of thy
grenadiers, who had deserted, and is bro’t
buck.” “ Hid him advance,” replied the
king. When lit was in his presence, he
enquired the reason of his conduct. “Thy
affairs,” said the prisoner, “ wtore so des
perate, that I abandoned thee, to s- ck my
fortune in a better service.”—“Thou wert
right,” exclaimed Frederick; “but I re
quest id' t)ii e to remain with me this cam

TO THE PEOPLE OP ENGI.\ND
This communication, entitled, “ A let
ter from the King to his people,*' has
reached a 19lh edition It is a vindica
tion of his conduct towards the Queen;
and for such a subject is well written. A
lew extracts may amuse:—
Carlton Palace, Dec. 1, 1830.
To all our loving subjects, and country
men, however exalted in rank, or hum
ble in station, the King sends alike his
most affectionate greeting.—
The liberty of the press does not per
mit to your king, the possibility of ie
inaining ignorant of passing events, or
unaffected by the pul)lie agitation; at one
and the same time it conveys to me sen
timents of satisfaction or grounds of com
plaint; the promised support of tli -con
stitutional, aud the threat of Hie disaf
fected. My own conduct, the measures
of my executive, the state of rny king,
dom, and the condition of my subjects,
are placed before me in as many various,
confused, and contradictory positions, as
the greater or lesser degree of informs
lion, the rivalsbip' of party, the animo
sity of prejudices or the insiduousnessof
faction, alternately suggest. In this chaos
of contrariety, to mu the first great diffi
culty is, to discover the truth; the mxt
to mannage the Jisroveiy. as to produce
from it some sound and dispassionate
course of action.
The liberty of the press, in Itself a
great abstract-good, capable alike of be
ing converted into a bane or antidote, and,
by discreet and conscientious manage
ment, capable also of promoting and ef
fect Wig immortal benefits to mankind, or
inflicliug upon them irremediable ills,
keeps up at least a constant communica
tion between us, depriving the courtier
of the power of concealing from his So
vereign public opinion, and placing him
within the effect of enquiry Willi s tch
a constant possibility of explanation, a
Monarch may be misguided but cannot be
uninformed; he may adopt decisive rides
of government, hut cannot remain igno
rant of their effects.
Although it is presumed (hat I became
acquaiiued with political occurrences and
opinions, solely through lite channel of
my official advisers, and can only consti
tutionally address my people through ■ the
regular organ of Parliament, or of my
council; yet of this momentous crisis,
pregnant w ith evil to our common coun
try, and to me so interesting as a man and
a husband, but above nil, us the inheritor
of my royal father’s crown, the form and
mode of this communication may stand
shielded and excused in the generally
anomalous character of the circumsUjices
to which 1 shall hereafter advert; nor, on
so singular an occasion, do 1 think it dero
gatory to the dignity of my exalted sta
tion to attempt the dispets onof a mist,
in which too many of my subjects have
wandered, led on by a generous delu
sion. '
I will not accuse, I do not accuse, of
disaffection either to my person or go
vernment, all who are advocates for the
cause of the Queen; for in that cause 1
perceive plainly a variety of motives in
activity; in the combination of those, mo
tives, differing widely from each other,
the immediate danger appears to consist;
but it is also,"from their discordance,
that future tranquillity may he expected.

Debarred thus from active employment
and destined to pass my time in royal idle
ness; surrounded with pleasures at every
step, and captivated with beauty;
would not be the most difficult enigma to
solve, how 4 became thoughtlessly extra
vagant. - Notwithstanding I had experi
enced the generosity of my countrymen,
when 24 years of age; yet in nine years
after my debts became again tlie object
serious consideration. In the midst of a
war then raffing, expensive beyond all
former precedent, and with no glimpse ol
termination; when monarchy throughout
Europe wm threatened with annihilation:
some powerful and unanswerable motive,
or some important and ostensible good,
could alone justify the minister of the
day in applying to parliament for the pay
ment of the debts of a.i extravagant prince
for such I acknowledge myself to have
been.
The justification of the measure was
, found to be in thy marriage.
The nation most generously paid my
debts, made provision for such marriage,
and 1 became an expedient party to the
contract. For me there was no escape;
. the bite esf if my creditors demanded such
i sacrifice: a sacrifice of which my heart
i could only appreciate the extent.
I Hut although the match was forced, a-d
I was left (unlike my subjects) to no vo
luntary choice, Iliad s 1 ill a right to ex
pect in a. princess of exalted ancestry, and
one previously allied to me by relation, a
female of chaste person and uncontami
, nated asle.
t Hut the morning which dawnc \on the
: cnnsimmationof this marriage, witnessed
l its vrtnal dissolution.
0;r daughter, the lamentable Princess
t Clurlotte, the child of a fond and admit’*
i inf nation, was born precisely at the tao
i nvnt prescribed by nature.
Os the causes winch led to tills imme
. (late separation, which however was fi r a
time most carefullv concealed, and con
cealed, I trust, from no ungenerous fecl
■ ing on my part, it does not belong to me
’ to detail the explanation. Bit who, be
sides ourselves, was interested in it ?
Surely the familrrff the illustrious female
in question! Did they complain? Did
they remonstrate ? Did they demand a.
restitution of conjugal rights between us?
Did they interfere to conciliate, to palli
ate, in explain? Never. By their silence,
then, was 1 justified in requiring, at
a proper moment, a more openly avowed
separation. The fit: wrong uus done to
me. '
• • * *
Having rested the propriety of my
conduct upon the silence of the relatives
of the Princess, on an occasion when si
lence on their part could only have been
i n posed by a knowledge of means of jus
tification ; and hiving discovered the
principle which generosity and hospitali-,
tV dictated to my late father and king, in
uis conduct towards the Princess, 1 now
refer to a letter, dated Windsor-Casile,
April 30, 1796; which letter Jtss been
termed, unjustifiably, and almost traitor
ously, a letter of license. t
“It was always competent for the Prin
cess of Wales to demand from me, if she
felt herself so justified, the restitution-of
her conjugal rights.*’ That » female of
her lofty during Should -not have taken
such a step, admits a very strong argu
ment in favor of the retiring husband; at
■ all events, it a.lows of the inference, hut
■ there was a i omestic and personal cause
• for separation, to which the parlies mut i
i ally consent ’d
This letter of tlu 30th Anfil, abovi
abided to, may be -co is'i ered as contain
ing tile terms of our se pa ratio i On this
letter, which evidently refers to former
conferences and previous communication.*
. and was written to the Princess at her ow
request, I have but one observations in
make, namely; “That, pending the ar
rangements for an open aud avowed sepa
ration, the then Piiucess of Wales, thro’
the medium of Lady Clvdmondeiy, r -
quired that the fparation should be final
and conclusive, as to any future particular
. intercourse, and not to be returned at any
. period, even though our child, the Prin
cess Charlotte, should die.’’ To this pro
position I assented; by tills proposition I
• abided, and ever will abide. It is an ex
tra proposition emanating from the
i Queen —it c mains h( r own terms.
From the moment of this open and
i avowed separation, rendered perpetual
by the propositions of her Royal High
ness, 1 can call herself aud the kingdom
■ to witness, whether any thing has been
withheld from the personal accommoda
tion of he Princess of Wales? Whether a
suitable establishment, regulated by her
self, was not provided for her comfort?
Whetlier I ever interfered with her ar
rangements, her society, o - her social
convenience? In short, I boldly chal
lenge my people to the proof whether I
had ever been guilty of any step, directly
or indirectly, to break in upon that ar
rangement of tranquillity and comforta
ble society, which was the basts of our
mutual separation
This separation between the Princess
and mys'nf, parlooK not in its origin of the
smallest political mixture; it was purely
an unhappy, but unavoidable,* domestic
occurrence, of winch the good manners
of both part es might have softened the
effect; and in which strict propriety of
conduct, such as befitted the second lady
of the laud, might have commanded my
respect, th,.’ an (insurmountable obsta
cle was opposed to any further fee ing.
• • * •
I have previously remarked, that
from the period of my becoming Regent,
the differences between the Princess
and myself had assumed a political cha
racter, and treated by many as a parly
question.
■she companions of my youth, and the
distinguished characters with whom, in
my earlier years 1 had intimately associat
ed, had created in the public mind, a
widely extended, and readily believed
opinion, that when the sceptre of my fa
thershall descend tome. 1 should, from
among those associates, have chosen the
members of my administration.—During
the discussion of the terms of the regen
cy, I was careful to avoid giving any pledge
of the line of policy I might find it ex
pedient to adopt. A short previous ad
ministration, composed of those political
friends by whom it was conjectured m>
council would have been directed, had
enabled me to form some opinion of their
executive talents; and notwithstanding,
an overture was made by me to them, to
propose an administration. But wheu 1
found the conditions required would have
reduced me to a mere political automaton,
of which they were to possess the key ;
Ihftt not content with forming the adotinis
tration, they required also, that I should a
be surrounded in my household by their «
adhei enls, and left to no choice in the ap
pointments of m> own attendants; when '
witn tins 1 compared the can.mr and the '
unequivocal absence of all personal leel
ing with which the bill creating the Ue- *
gency was carried by the then ministry;
and above all, the frank, loyal, and respect :
id! regret which was shewn to thecala
mity of my revered parent; and the so im
mediate provision made for the re->ump
tion by him of tile regal dignity, that
should it have phased Providence so to
have restored him; my Uoyal father wornd
have awak.-ned as if from a dream, and
have found himself unreminded of h.s
affliction; when to this (added the impo t
ant consideration, that the flame of lice
dom was beginning to glimmer in Spain;
that the then administration were prepar
ed to take advantage of every circum
stance favorable to the destruction of the
military iy rani of Europe,and when all
these various considerations- were up
held by the weight of personal charac
ter which was contained in the then cabi
net- I felt sufficiently justified in not
suffering former prepossessions to stand
for one moment in the way J newly creat
ed duties J felt that an exisung eXpeifi
enced executive, was, at such a lime, sa
ferthan a theoretical cabinet. 1 had also
adoubtin my mind, whether, during in.
Sovereign’s life, I ought, as liege.u, u»
adopt the principles of those who hid
been v'olently opposed to my. Itoyal fa
ther's in asnres, or pursue aline of poli
cy uiicua iged, and such as my Kiig woul i
have continued had he remained the ac
live head of the Empire. This was a feel
ing of iho heart; it was mine
This, my determination, produced two
consequences; 1 A senes of unbroken,
glorious, and important vide l ies, attend
ed with such results, as tne history of Hie
world, within a similar period ot time,
cannot produce; 2d, The conversion ot
my matrimonial differences into a political
attack upon my authority. • * •
1 am now drawing toward the close mi
this my letter, in the widen my failhful
subjects and excellent fedow country men
win (I trust) agrte with me, not only that
the difference existing between her Ma
jesty and myself arose out of a ao
inesac cause, and was solely of a domes
tic nature; but all the popular feeling
which has been excited, has aristsen from
the political -mis li ectiOu imposed upon
the transaction, a transaction nnpurta it
to the nation only as it can be connected
with their welfare. How dial welfare can
be promoted by forcing upon a loathing
husband an equally loathing wife,appears
to me, a problem in government, not ea
sily to be maintained in argument, or
proved by -historical reference. If lam
, unhappily united to a bad wife, or the
Queen be under the. caprice of a bad
. husoand; provided these unpleasantries be
confined within the limits at our personal
conduct, and are not mixed up with tne
alfatrs ot suite, 1 see then no impediment
to the due constitutional performance of
my duties as King; but on the contrary if
Uni people disuub my kingly office, and
ciug its executive or dignity with an un.
seasonable family blister, the chance is
that tli-. system’c;f government may be
come ill-executed, greatly obstructed, or
completely embarrassed, if s-.icii is the
aim o: the parlizans of the Queen, 1 have
only to declare this my determination
“That if the claims of tin. Queen ca .i
maxe no impression on me upon their ovvn
merits, any' political association winch su._
nay form to give weight to, or to dis
1 guise such claims, will only call forth from
in. as y./ur King, a firmer defence of my
, o-vn ngbis, which ire the rights of the
■ onstilution, under which I the nobles
and people, all alike find reciprocal pro
tection.’'
At the end is indeed a note, hea led
; Apology, called a hlery fiction, and the
following question is said to have been
pronounced to “ a most eminent coun-
J oil.”
4i Suppose A. writes a letter entitled
“a letter from the King,” and having
written and published such letter, states,
in a postscript annexed, (hat such title
was adopted to excite curiosity, and ex
it-,.J its political utility; and that such let
ter was neither directly nor in ii redly
written by the King; will such acknow
ledgment take the assumption of the
King’s name, out of any and every sta
tute of praemunire?”
To this question, the answerwasih.it
the letter proposed, written in the to ie
and spirit which are suggested, would
not render the writer responsible to any
penalty -whatever. But it happens tua

Dcspotical Treatment of tin ’ Neapolitan
Patriots.
We have often heard (says the National
Advocate) of the cruelties, said to have
been committed by the Republicans of
France, and the tyranny, in particular, ol
the Emperor Napoleon. Hut we do no.
recollect of any authentic instance, in
which so deliberate and shameful opprei
siou was so conspicuous, as that disp'a •
ed in tne annexed decree, winch ,In
band of European despots has issued a
gainst the unfortunate Neapolitans. W
entirely coincide with the Daily Adverti
ser; that “ a measure more tyrannical in
its object, more bloody in its provisions,
or more treacherous in its means of detec
tion lias seldom disgraced human history.’
Vet have we witnessed a portion of this
country extolling the system, for which
this disgraceful decree emanated, and
endeavouring to in reduce it amongst us.
It is true, that they are few in number,
who thus degrade themselves, and we are
pleased to fi.nl, that their influence is be
coming every day more limited. No man
can call himself a republican, who advo
cates the measures now pursuing in Eu
rope by the Holy Alliance, against the
liberties of the people.
