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 the cohvidtion that (he was the o.igin ai cause of his sass rings, when (lie could no longer re ieve them To the mental torture.

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 whom Ore had endured such fufieri; g, mfpheu her with fapernatuial itrengifi and ?■•('>lu icn.

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 eafi'y imagined hit full and molt eager object was to visit the lady who hi been the cause cf his mi fortunes Alas ! what lavjmage ccu’d deferibe * the interview Tit iaifed for lonae nours! j aid was cordecrated to mu ual teats.
