THE KINO AND QUEEN.
The following ullegory, from the pen of Mr. Ir
ving, formerly editor of the .Inahclic Moga
tine, is said to lie a pretty correct history of
the original dillicultics between the present
King and Queen of England.
There was once upon a time a young Prin
cess, daughter to a sovereign Prince, who
lived very happily and reputably at her fa
ther’s court, enjoying all those distinctions
and honors which are usually bestowed on
young Princesses. When arrived at a pro
per age, she was married, according to the
manner that royal marriages arc conducted,
by proxy, to a neighboring Prince and the
heir apparent of a mighty kingdom. On ar
riving in the country of her husband, she
was received by him with great courtesy and
politeness; in so much that the newspapers
teemed with eulogiums on his deportment;
for whenever a Prince says or does a civil
thing, such as ordinary men say or do a do
zen times a day, the newspapers always take
care to make honorable mention of it; from
•which many have been led to suppose that
it is an extraordinary thing far a Prince to
be civil or witty.
Notwithstanding, however, tho extreme
politeness of the Prince to his spouse, it was
not long before he grew heartily tired of her.
He therefore wrote her one of tho eivelest
rotes in the world, lamenting that his incli
nations were not under his contronl, and
that she did not please his fancy ; and propo
sing, therefore, that they should separate,
uiiil live on comfortable, friendly, speaking
terms. With this “ comfortalilu arrange
ment,” the Princess, who was a very oblig
ing, good-natured woman,' was fain to com
ply, more especially as she could not help
herself, and they accordingly lived for seve
ral years in the pleasantest manner imagina
ble. The Prince consoled himself by a sc
ries of little attentions to certain dowagers
and fat ladies about the court ; (for he was
remarkably fond of ladies a little tut and old ;)
and the Princess was left to console herself
with the comforts of religion ; so bountifully
recommended to unfortunate wives, when
we take all other comforts away.
In the midst of this halcyo 1 security, while
he, good easy man, was hugging himself, no
doubt, at the comfortable arrangement he
had made, and supposing that his wife was
mortifying the llesh, and keeping a perpetu
al jour mail're, it was whispered in his ear,
that she was now and then a little bounteous
of those charms which he had treated with
such neglect. This at once aroused the ge
nerous indignation of the Prince.: all the
proud ideas which a husband has of property
in his wife, rushed at once to his mind. He
felt that glow of territorial jealousy which
some, lordly landholder fuels, who, after suf
fering a rich and fertile, bottom to lie neglec
ted, imploughed and unsown, is all at once,
kindled into a deadly ire and a poignant sense
61’ injury, by some lawless intruder settling
on the skirts of his possession. However
careless a man may be of his own conduct,
he is always choice of the conduct of his
wife ; for it would appear that a married
man wears his honor by proxy; committing
the brittle ware entirely to the safe keeping
of his spouse. He may range and gambol
about without jeopardizing it in the least ;
but one false step from her, and tho frail
commodity is cracked forever.
Thus it was with the great and highmind-
«id Prince in question ; for his own misdeeds
he never could condescend to blush ; but he
was tremblingly alive to the immaculate de
portment of his wife. He might commit a
thousand follies with the fat dowagers about
his court, and there was no harm done ; but
tor her to falter from the strict path ofconju-
gal fidelity, notwithstanding that she was left
to tread it unprotected and alone, was an ir
reparable injury to his feelings and his honor.
To satisfy the Prince on the subject of his
doubts, ail enquiry was set on foot, into the
-stic t-omUIC* of the Princess, which was

perfect knowledge «f pure English in this
country, it may be worthwhile to mcntio
the genuine nature of this investigation.
This, therefore, was a grand court ot inqui
sition, where four grave old dignitaries of tile
empire sat for some weeks, with spectacles
on their nose, curiously prying into Hie pri
vate conduct and domestic history, of a so
cial free-hearted young Princess; full of
youth and animal spirits, deserted by her
husband, and abandoned, in a strange land,
to her own discretion, or her own passions,
whichever might happen to preponderate.
In the course of this scrutiny they seem to
have followed her with the perseverance ot
veteran terriers, thro’all her little linkings,
.tUlinktnirs flirtations, rambles, tete-d-ti tes
and intimacies ; listening at the key-hole o
her parlour; peeping into her boudoir and
bedchamber, turning up the toilet and the
valance, to see if, preadventure, some favor
ed gallant might not lie concealed beneath ,
questioning her associates, foi.imen’ Chiim-
ber-maids, physicians, laundresses, inti tiding
with unsparing curiosity into aM those secret
mysteries with which the modesty of the sex
enshrouds itself, and from the exposure ot
which it shrinks in agonized delicacy.
I have occasionally noticed, on a trial of a
delicate nature, some grey-headed old law
yer, of liquorish propensities, extremely mi
nute in his questions about facts and circum
stances which had no bearing on the princi
pal question, but which seemed marvellously
to tickle his prurient sensibilities ; so these
venerable statesmen seemed to have dwelled
with fond prolixity on the scandalous narra
tives given by certain ot the Princess s goo
friends and faithful domestics; they seemed
to chuckle whenever they started a new anec
dote ; and there was a curtain blue chamber
in the Princess’s mansion, into which they
seem te have had *» 6«*»t * bgaltcriag to
peep, as had Fatima to pry into that of the
redoubtable Blue Beard. Ah this was done
' v *thout the Princess knowing any thing
of the universal ransack and rummage that
was gofngon throughout her household, and
without her having the least intimation of
the foul charges alledged against her.
. * forbear going into the particulars of this
inquisition, the details of which are of too
delicate a nature to be openly discussed : k.
are only fit to lie slyly moused over in cor
ners where indeed the book seems chiefly to
have been read and whero modesty may do
what it pleases, so it be not detected. It is
suflicient to say, that they acquitted the
Princess of the nigh crime of infidelity ; but
then they found her guilty of silting on the
carpet instead of a chair, eating enormous
suppers of potted lampreys, fried onions and
potatoes, giving a lady of quality the lie di
rect, and of slandering the whole family of
her illustrious Lord as being ill made ; and
having plum pudding faces. These I must
confess were grievous sins in a Princess, but
I can in some measure excuse them, in cun-
sequence of the bad example of the royal hi
noble personages around her ; who seem in
plain truth, to have been very vulgar and
dissolute in their manners. Nay, 1 do not
think I could find it in my heart to be angry
with her even had she been guilty of the
foul crime laid to her charge; seeing the .hu
miliating provocations she had suffered from
him, for whom she had abandoned her coun
try, her family and friends.
And here 1 cannot but observe, merely by
way of general remark, what will apply as
well to Plcbeans as Princes, that the errors
and frailties of a wile are very often imputa
ble to tho misconduct of a husband. He.
who discharges faithfully and affectionately,
the obligations of the marriage vow ; who
protects, honors, loves and cherishes his wife,
will almost invariably meet with affection be.
fidelity in return. Whatever may be assert
ed by licentious satirists who write more
from their own jaundiced imaginations than
from actual observation, tho principles of
conjugal fidelity and affection are more pe
culiar to the female sex than to ours—in as
much as they are bound to us by their na
tural helplessness and dependence, and the
necessity of protection ; by the tenderness
of their natures which readers it necessary
to their happiness, that they should love and
bo loved; by the opinions of society, and
the irretrievable infamy that attends a fe
male falsehood. Protect them, and they
cling to you with gratitude, and with that
fond idea of securi y with which the weak
take shelter under the protection of the
strong ; love and cherish them, and they re
turn the. affection with all the fervour and
constancy of unhackneyed, undivided hearts,
that dare not wander. And when we con
sider that a man, particularly in the higher
walk of society, rarely enters into Ihe mar
ried state until he lias run his youthful ca
reer of folly and dissipation; worn out his
heart by a series of caprices, perhaps un
worthy attachments ; withered the liesliuess
of his affections, and blunted the fine edge
of bis feelings, by an indiscriminate inter
course with tile world; impaired, perhaps
his constitution by riot ami revelry— and in a
word tamed tile generous spirit, the high
sensibilities, the moral excellencies, and phy
sical perfections of his nature; when we con
sider this depreciation of the whole being,
surely the least indemnification that he can
make for the vast disparity between this
wreck of nature’s bounties and the stuck ol
youth, beauty, innocence, tenderness of feel
ing, and singleness of heal t which the female
brings into tho marriage compact, is to de
vote himself exclusively to her cuinlort and
her happiness.
I do not pretend to say how die account
stood in this respect, between the Prince and
Princess, who are the hero and heroine ol
this singular story. Certain it is, that he hud
been notorious for his excesses before bis
marriage, and that afterwards while bis
Princess, repelled from her husband’s arms,
denied the comforts and enjoyments of con
nubial love, was pilling in comparative soli
tude and disgrace, he was indulging in all the
licentiousness of a licentious court, and open
ly plunging in debaucheries, that were the
talk and scandal of the nation.
Under such circumstances I should not
have thought it much cause of wonder that
a young female, full of her wrongs, full of her
sex, full of the passions and weakness of hu
man nature ; should have forgotten the dig
nity of her station, especially as she had
been deprived of its external show arid at
tendant honors; should have forgotteu her
duties to a husband, who seemed so totally
to have forgotten, or disregarded Ins duties
to herself, and should have made light of
that virtue which seemed to be so little ro-
•’■urded by those around her. If the Prince
would refuse Io taste the fruit, which hung
ripe and tempting from the tree, I do not
see that he had any one Jo blame but lum-
ilf, if it fell when another hand shook the
boughs.

of a general revolution.
'i he heats in the house of Commons
have not abated, nor is there much re
serve of language even in relation to
“ the most gracious George IV.” A
member of some distinction, Mr. Cree-
vey, did not hesitate to speak of “ the
vindictive spirit of the King,” and to as
sert that “ his Majesty, to be entitled to
the remedy of divorce, must come with
clean hands into court.” We observe
that the London Courier of the 7th July
refuses to report some parts of tins gen
tleman’s speech, ou tne ground of their
being too indecorous and disloyal for re
petition. Another well-known member,
Mr, Bennett, held tiie following lan
guage :
" I he people knew that all was set
tled beforehand ; that it was determined
to convict the queen. The boldest man
might shudder at the consequences of u
v erdict so given. The situation of the
queen is desolate and unprotected, and
wtio on the other hand is opposed to tier t
In one word, it was the King of this coun
try : the muster, not, thank God! ol
our lives and properties, but cxercisiug
a direct and positive influence over that
class of society who were to decide upon
her fate : possessing an unlimited influ
ence over the very House in which she
was to he tried.”
Lord Castiereagh threw himself de
votedly between the monarch and his
blunt assailants, with the Me Ale adsum
qui fed, asserting that “it was to the
Ministers and not to the King that the
disaster of the enquiry was to be attri
buted,” und that “ nothing could be less
vindictive or mure accommodating, than
the conduct of the illustrious personage.”
These are fictions or tactics of govern
ment, like the maxim, the king can do
no wrong, w hich none but the most tiery
or uncouth, even among the Opposition,
could hesitate to sanction and respect.—
f here would seem, however, to be a
disposition in the counsel of the queen,
to throw off this restraint'. The follow
ing extracts from the professional remon
strance of one of them, Mr. Denman, a-
gainst the course of proceedings in tiie
House of Lords, delivered July 6th, at
the bar of the House, will shew that his
Majesty has some reason to tremble, al
though it may be that these dreadful in
timations vvei’e made merely in terror-
cm.
“ The royal character of both par
ties to this suit must be laid aside ; and,
in considering in what respects the con
jugal contract bail been violated, and the
consequences that ought to result, it
would be lit that the House should strict
ly examine what had been tiie conduct of
bulk the exalted individuals concerned. It
would be its duty to examine whether
the wife had no reason to complain—
whether any circumstance of recrimina
tion could he advanced—anil whether
the abandonment und destitution of the
w ife, if it had not cleared her of moral
guilt, had not at least deprived the hus
band of liis remedy.
“He entreated that the same forms
and modes pursued in the lower courts
should be adopted here, by which the
queen should enjoy the fullest opportu
nity of vindication .-it the earliest possible
moment. She would then he placed in a
situation where she might examine how
far the conjugal relation had been pre
served on both sides—whether it had
not been at least first violated by her ac
cuser in almost every particular in which
a Q,ueen could have a right to complain
of her royal husband. Whether after
the proof of such allegations, the House
would think fit to proceed at all, and to
pass the bill upon the table, it was not
for him to state ; but if injustice must be
done, be trusted it would not be forgot
ten that the parties were thus far upon
equal terms—they were man and wife ;
and if, in the course of what he or his
learned friend had said, any thing had
dropped which might be thought to bear
bard upon the strouger party, he trusted
it would be attributed to the zeal they
felt in advucating the cause of the weak-

We have read London papers of the
latest dates, and have little else to report
from them than the progress of “ the de
licate investigation.” It continued to
monopolize attention, kindling at the

of some of the Gazettes enlisted on the

themselves that the adultery charged
gainst her is with one person only ! It

more immediately upon the multitude

half that sum, he would undertake to
blast the character of every woman in
the country.” The Queen preserves a
firm lone and unaltered countenance;
and instructed her couusel on their ap

disclosure of the secrets of the Green

charges which they should involve.—

The Grand Seignior and the Pachas
appear to be on the very point of mea

we should presume, thus to attempt to
throw off their allegiance, without they
had received a previous promise of sup
port from some formidable power now
remaining behind the curtain, watching
the maturity of events in secrecy and in
silence. We all know the hereditary
ambition of Russia, und what great exer

by the best Generals oflbe age, in a state

Alexander knows further, that here he
may strike an effectual blow, without in
curring the active jealousy of any Euro
pean power. We are strongly inclined
to the o|>iuion, that tiie sy niptouis of hos
tility manifested by these different Puc-
chalics, are only preliminary to some
terrible irruption from Russia, when a
proper season shall arrive. One of the
Pachas, and the most powerful, is said to
be ou the point of renouncing his Maho
metan faith, and embracing the religion
of the Grecian church, or of the Empe

this hostility may lead to gre.it eveifls—
perhaps a contest between the cross and
crescent—perhaps the erection of Chris
tian tqmplcs on the ruins of the Turkish
mosques—peril.ips the annihilation of the
Mahometan faith. To those who look
upon such events as incredible, we will
only say, that we live in an age of won

revolution is not tit all more improbable,
than that a Corsican corporal should have
mounted the throne of the Bourbons.

It will be recollected that at the May

slate passed a resolve, auttiorising the
Governor to procure a pair of pistols to
be presented to Com. Macdoaough, as a
testimony of their esteem for him, anil

his eminent services in capturing the
British fleet on Lake Cliamplttiu. These
pistols are now finished, ami we yester
day had the pleasure of examining them.
They were made by Col. North of Mid
dletown, anil nut only do gical credit to
him as ail artist, but to the liberality of
the state for whom ttiey were made.—
The mourning is all ofpure gold ami put

ces and engravings are by the Graphic
Company of this ciiy, \\ e are told that
the actual expense which lias been laid
o it upon them is somewhat over u thou
sand dollars. T lie hurt els are formed
of hard and soft iron, and wrought after
the manner of the Damascus blades, so
as to present a beautiful variety of chance
figures over the whole surface. The
stock, which reaches about halfthe length
of the barrel, is made of American .black
walnut of an uncommonly rich dark co
lor ; the half-stock is of solid gold. Up
on the guard is a tine head of Minerva in
raised work of gold. On the thumb-
piece is an eloguul full length figure of a
warrior, in bass-relief; bis sword is rais
ed, and he stands in the attitude of as
sault ; in his left hand he holds a shield
bearing the arms of Connecticut. In the
background is a view of the ocean, and a
ship of war riding at anchor. On the
back plate to the lock is a fine represen
tation of the engagement between the
American & British tleets on lake Chain-
plain, together with the surrounding sce
nery. The engraving is not only re
markably good in itself, but is an accu
rate view of the most interesting mo
ment of the buttle. Upon the main stay
of the Saratoga, near the foremast, is re
presented the gallant cock which there
took und preserved his station through
the engagement. Trilling as this inci
dent may seem, it is thought by the com

Receipt for making Cider, and preserving
it sound fur years.
All apples tit to be eaten will make
good cider. The grand secret is in clean
sing it from the tilth and dregs as early
as possible. Each sort of apples are to
lie beaten and pressed by themselves.
Two kinds ol juice, both good, would, if
mixed, often make bad cider. Throw
out ail imperfect, sorry, and sun-burnt
apples as well as dust and trash : beat
your apples before much mellowed, as
they lose their strength, soundness, mid
spirit if too mellow. Let them stand
half a day after being beaten, before put
into the press, then press them slowly,
discontinue it as soon as the juice dis
charged appears to grow thin und watery.
The advantage of slow pressure is in
making the liquor run pure. Let your
casks, previously well cleansed, be tilled
quite full to permit the froth and pummice
to discharge itself at the bung. When
the fermentation abates, cover the hung
closely with something that may be lifted
by the fixed air that escapes during the
future fermentation. In a week rack off
the cider carefully, ceasing the moment
you observe it run muddy.' Now stop
the cask more firmly. In ten days rack
it off a second time ; and in fifteen days
the third time. In every instance the
casks are to be clean and perfectly filled,
and when filled for the lust time to be
bunged close, placed in a deep dry cel
lar, never be moved until drnwn for use
March, and then one racking, or at most
two, will be sufficient. Be very careful
that no water, not even the little the!
w ill adhere nfter rinsing a cask, it mixed
with the cider. The smallest quantity
of rain water will render cider unfit to
keep. The addition of any quantity of
distilled spirits is not only useless but in
jurious. This plan is the result of long
experience, and its success justifies
commending it to the public.
Various plans for clarifying cider to
prevent its souring by means of milk,
isinglass, scalding and scumming, filtering
through sand, 4tc. are found useful, but
frequent racking or drawing is far pre
ferable to any other method.
Peach Trees.—An effectual method of
preserving Peuch Trees from decay has been
recently discovered in Virginia. It is cheap
and simple, and well worth an experiment.
It consists in binding a small bundle of to
bacco around the body of the tree, just above
the ground. This must he done usually •-

lute communication to the Philadelphia A-
gricultural Society, relates the result of an
experiment he made last season, in substi
tuting rye straw for stable manure in raising
bis crop of potatoes. The crop was raised
in drills. The seed potatoes were laid at the
bottoms of the furrows, a part were, then
covered with a moderate quantity of dry
straw, the remainder with stable manure,
and the manure wus then, in both instances,
covered with the plough. He planted the
tilth of May, apd harvested the list of Oc
tober. That part of the crop which was ma
nured with straw, he says, was fully equal in
product, and quality to the other. The sea
son was very dry in the vicinity of Philadel
phia, where the crop was raised.
