Interesting historical anecdote.
All the world has heard of Baron
rrenCk, and his severe fufletiiigi- ; bu:
lie c lufe of his misfortune is not so ge
nerally underltood.
l'renck is deferihed as haring been
til his youth, “ a young cavalier of fin
uhu accomplifiimeuts, who, when he
lirfl made Iris appearance in the coun
of Berlin, became the object of general
admiration.” The princess Amelia,
having, it is fa id, “ been cajoled ou: of
a itxa ch, with the king of Sweden, by
her t ided filter Ulrica, who lucceedeii
in nbainhy h for herfeif, fixed Vr af
fefiti ms u£on the baron.” AineblTwaa
a favorite of Frederick, and owing to
’h- indifereet, but, perhaps, irresistible
passion wtveh (he encouraged, and
Treock indulged, the Prulfian monarch
infhcled those punifhmenrs upon the
ill-fated lov-’r which have excited for
him the (jommiferation of rhoufandsin
Europe and America. The effefls of
the lady*3 love, and of the baron’, in
diferetion, are thus described by Tiue
bault.
The lady for whom he liad fieri fe
ed so milch, had never loft fight of
him ; fill * had administered to him eve
fy pofiible alfiftance in his firft pnfon,
and while he was a fugitive abroad...
and when lrenck was est -filing the
completion of their mutual ruin by hts
imprudence, he was indebted to her
{'< rbe meanj of his subsistence. Bat
from the time of hi being buried, as
it were, in tlv* fortrefs of Magdeburg,
neither the hr oft afilive Zeal, nor the
molt persevering efforts, could find &
pafpige to their miferabie objerl.
She now felt w.ih double poignancy

ai cause of his sass rings, when (lie
could no longer re ieve them To the
mental torture. (hr endured, mull be
attributed those extraordinary and
ma c:e infirmities to which Ihe was a
vifilim In the course of a feW years
her perfo.ial charms ltad wholly disap
peared, her voice was gone, her eyes
once remarkable for their beauty, hid
now fta r ted from their sockets, and
(lie was threatened with *-otal biindnefs,
(lie nearly loft du- use of her arms and
hands, fcarctTy could (he with her left
hand raise the right to a certain height,
and even .his not without extreme
pain., and the weakness of her legs was
etfeeflive. Never did despair and grief
produce fuoli fatal effefils on anv one
whole life they had (pared, and as (he
furvivcd those cruel attacks, it is natu
ral o eoric ude thai the ti-fire and hope
(he felt or b ing ufefe! to him for

idea of the cause, and fonietvrf.es even j
Sfcrib-d them to the ecoentrc cast of
h r charafler. ‘ She lias become

by her own attempt to ilivfigure her

eccentric, the. she wilfully mifap plied
the remedies applied for Iter lecoviry,

blie wa, accused of an extraordma y
eccentricity of char;.6l er, btcaufe in
fa£l flie pc defied an extraordinary ‘
urderltanding, Trough at the lame,
l time, it mud be admitted, that her
temper, owing to the violence and du
ration of her afthclroftfi had altered
contulerabiy for the worfe...A woman
of more gentle and pleafh.g manners,
or cf a more ingenuous temper, than
she had been in her early years, was not
to be met with...but these qualities she
had now exchanged lor a severity that
v knew no intervals cf indulgence, that
i was prompt to presume evil rather
titan-good, atvJ exerted ks influence the
more fei.fib'y as her turn for epigram
made her f, leot> more eafiiy fek.
Ttenck having lingered in his dun
geon above ten years, the empretV,
queen cf Germany, at the rnflance ol
the princess, applied for his liberation.
1 he king let him at liberty, with firi'Ct
orders to quit the country forever. Af
ter the death of Frederick, an inter,
view took place between .Amelia and
i-.ei lover at Berlin, which is prurtray
ed in the following affecting manner.
On arriving at Berlin, it may be
