UM@ MUIT,aIi.?(JUI-0 THE • PARTY OF SIX. A TRAIT OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURT 111 JOHN INMAN BEITO ANTONIO, so C proprietor of the Hotel Della Madonna, situated in one of the quietest streets of the Eternal City, stood at the open door of his dining-room, with a comical blending of hope and grief in his pale and not very engaging countenance. It was a dull time of year for tra. vel, and Boppo had serious doubts whether his tables were not set out to no purpose; for as yet, though his helpmate had sent up three timislrom below to say that the maearonm was boiled to paste, and the fish fried to a cinder, not a creature had taken his sent at ono of the little tables, and ordered even a bowl of minestra. There was indeed one person within the room, a tall, elderly man, with gray hair and blue eyes, an enormous queue dangling half-way down his back, and a remarkably hungry look peering out from his face, and, indeed, characterizing his person; but this man's garments v'ere seedy, not to say shab by; and though ho had been walking backward and forward, from one end of the room to the other, for more than three-quarters of an hour, he had as yet called for nothing; and Beppo nourish ed a huge suspicion that, if he should order and cat his dinner, payment was not quite so certain to follow as he could wish. g- Some broken down militaire," muttered Beppo, his heart almost pre. veiling to give the poor fellow a meal and a cup of wino, at the risk even of catching a scratched face or a curtain-lecture from his better half down below; o some poor kicked-about vagabond, that has been standing up to be shot at, the best part of his life, for three roils a month, and now that fighting has gone out of fashion, is left either to beg or starve, just as best suits his convenierse." Beppo was probably right in his conjecture. The stranger's port was erect, and his walk up and down the room was as much like a soldier's march on parade as it was like any thing. Besides his complexion was bronzed by the stiii,:his chin was upheld by a stiff leather stock, and his coat, though very much worse for wear, had a standing collar, edged with tarnished gold lace. He was an old soldier, past question, and certainly very poor, or appearances sadly belied him. At length Beppo's anxieties were relieved. The veteran pretarmitted his march, and, seating him self at ono of the tables, called for a bouilli and a measure of brandy; and, by the time this command was fulfilled, the despairings of Beppo were not a little alleviated by an influx of Customers to his boiled, broiled, and roasted. First came an old gentlemen, tall and thin, with a slight stoop of the shoulders, a remarkably nar row head, covered with stiff white hair, and small black eyes, which the frosts of some seventy winters had not yet robbed of their fire. Ho was plainly but handsomely dressed in blue coat and in; reverence softened down by affection, and the 41 . 4 1 WISH NO OTHER HERALD, NO OTHER SPEAKER OF LIVING ACTIONS, TO KEEP MINE HONOR FROM CORRUPTION.' ...-ORAES. cozwaqraratbnautar s &kr%) zinizzoalr. caVPIVIPZEP 41 9 actay. meaning, his figure inclining to corpulence, and his expression vulgar, coarse, and even ferocious. His beauty was not improved, withal, by a huge pair of mustaches. He was rather foppishly dressed in a purple frock-coat, red waistcoat, and blue pantaloons, with a broad red stripe down the sides. His fingers were covered with rings, a heavy gold chain encircled his neck, d es cending into his left waistcoat pocket, and his heels were adorned with a pair of exceedingly long gold or gilt spers, that jangled against the floor and each other at every step. He demanded an olla podrida, well seasoned with garlic, and two bottles of wine-- one of port and the other of sherry. After him, came a stout, rather good-looking man, of fifty, or thereabout, with a bald head, a short, black, curling beard, a merry black eye, and a clear olive complexion. He wore a frock-coat of the latest Parisian cut, a shawl-pattern waist coat, red slippers, and trowsers of very unusual amplitude. A diamond of great value sparkled upon the hilt of a dagger that might be seen pro jecting conveniently from his breast, and a largo and very beautiful dog, of the Newfoundland breed, followed him into the dining-room, where he took his place, like a well-bred beast, under the table. This personage bowed slightly and smiled as he entered, took his seat with an indo lent good-humored look of supreme nonchalence, and called for a dish of boiled macaroni, a carafe of lemonade, and a finger-glass half full of rose water, with which he refreshed and perfumed his hands before eating. Then followed a man of about thirty, with a broad German face, heavy blue eyes, and red hair, cropped close to his head. He was tall and stout, but awkward in figure and movement. His clothes were ill-made, but of the finest quality; and his boots were covered with mud, that had been on them long enough to become perfectly dry; a long meerschaum pipe was in his right hand, and the moment he sat down be placed a large gold snuff-box upon the table before him, just at the side of his plate. He called for a Ger man sausage, some boiled fish, a stewed rabbit, plenty of bread, and a bottle of first-rate Geneva. His Italian was scant, and most inharmoniously qualified with a plentiful sprinkling of deep Ger man gutturals. . Six gentlemen were now taking their dinner' under the roof of the rejoicing Beppo Antonio; and although he would have been glad to admin ister to the appetites of three times as many, still it was very much better than having his eatables left on his hands, unconsumed and unpaid for " One more for good luck," muttered Beppo, tt and I'll lay out a couple of crux-TA - e in oil for the lamp of my patron St. Joseph, over the way; one more for good luck and the odd number." His petition was heard; one more just at this moment entered the room, and taking his -seat, called for a glass of iced water, a bowl of pea-soup a la puree pommes de terre au maitre d'hotd, and- a large dish of _brigueta de pan:saes, or as we should call them in English, plain apple-critters, which, be it observed, they cook in Ramie to per fection. He was a young man of fair complexion, well-dressed, but with nothing remarkable in his appearance, and was at once set down by the landlord, as well as the other guests, for an Eng lishman on his travels. His method of speaking Italian went far to confirm this suspicion. During the few minutes that elapsed between the issuing of his directinns and their fulfilment, the new-corner had glanced over the persona of , all his companions in eating, and smiled at the chance that had brought together men of so many different nations as lie supposed them to represent. The veteran he set down as a Prussian; the old man and the youth as natives of France; the man with the mustaches and red waistcoat as a Span -I iard or Portuguese; him with the beard and bald head as a MalteserJew; and the drinker of gin as a Swiss or German. He was proceeding to spec ulate on their several occupations, when his rece rie was cut short by the entrance of four waiters, each bringing ono of the four objects, the which together made up his dinner. The important business of eating proceeded for some time in grave and respectful silence, and at length was completed. Beppo was busy in one corner of the room at his little desk, making out the respective accounts, and the seven strangers were meditating, probably, where they should go or what they should do next, when a ponderous carriage stopped at the door, drawn by four hand some fat horses, with coachmen and footmen all in the Pope's gorgeous livery. Bcppo rushed like a madman from the room, to ascertain the mean ing oft - this phenomenon, and in a few moments returned, walking backward, and bowing at every step to the ground, before an officer of the papal court, evidently of high rank, if one might judge from the splendor of his dress and decorations.' The massive gold chain around his neck, to which was suspended a large golden key, and the white wand in his hand, proclaimed him at once to those familiar with Roman dignities, no less a personage than the chamberlain of the pontifical household. The moment he entered the room, his velvet rap was removed from his head, and advancing with three low bows to the elderly Frenchman, he placed before him a letter bearing a broad par pie seal, which he drew from a magnificent box of crystal, inlaid with gold, and blazing with jewels_l The stranger perused it, and then gave it into the hand of his youthful companion, who did the , same. A few words in French were exchanged between them, and then the elder, addressing the papal officer ; said, in Italian: e Be pleased to convey our acknowledgements to his holiness, and say that we have visited Rome without any public object, and that oar wish is to avoid observation. Nevertheless, we duly appre ciate the attention of his holiness, and will gladly avail ourselves of his kindness; we will, in person, express our thanks more at large for his courtesy." With another profound bow, the chamberlain received this brief and ceremonious communica tion, and only replied by saying: " The carriage will attend your majesty's plea sure." He then gathered up his robes and hacked him_ selfout of their presence, preceded by Beppo, who stared like a conjurer, and bowed lower than ever. The eyes of all the other five strangers were now fixed on the old Frenchman and his compan ion, and all were smiling except the water-drink ing supposed Englishman. His gaze was earnest and eigious, hut very respectful. The silence that ensued was broken. after the lapse of a few minutes, by the bald-headed man with the beard and the red slippers, who rose from his sent, and waddling across the room, followed by his dog, plaited himself in front of the old man so strangely addressed with the title of monarch, and said, with a cp.a.er twinkle of his laughing black eyes: By the tail of the holy camel ! By the golden • i shoes of the Prophet's mule Here is a friend of ; mina come to light! Inshidlali ! what dirt is this? I You are a king, then; a king of France, I suppose; a right royal infidel! I should like to know, if, . your majesty please; what you have done with my 'little kingdom, and why you took it away from me! By the soul of my father but this is good; here is a man that has robbed me of my crown, and yet could'nt take care of his own!" “Yatir kingdom! your crown !" said the per sonage thus addressed, with a look of the most unbounded surprise. Yes, my kingdom, my crown !" repeated the fat man with the beard; <, I had a kingdom once, as well as yourself, and six dozen wives beside. Now I have only nine. I could'nt afford to main tain them all; and the insolent people at Naples would'nt allow me to tie them up, each in a sack, and throw them into the bay; so they all went off and got married. I am, or rather, I was, the Dey of Algiers, at your seryice." ...My good friend," answered the French deposed monarch, "you should'nt blame me. I knew nothing about it! Prince Polignac managed that matter entirely. I had my hands full in tak ing care of my soul." '-Oh arelt, it's no matter now. We won't quar rel about it, since you are as badly off as myself, thanks be to Allah !" Very true," answered Charles; "it certainly is not worth while to quarrel about it now. -But I hope you are comfortable in offer respects. Allow me to introduce my young grandson, Hen ry the Fifth." The Dieu-donne bowed gracefully, and the Day, shaking him by the hand, wished he might live for the next thousand years. Then drawing a chair, and seating himself between them, ho turn ed to the royal Charles, and,continued: Comfortable ! Oh yes, by the blessing of Allah, Ido very well, all things considered. I have my nine wives still, a good appetite, and some dia monds left. The eating is very fine here in Rome, and also at Naples; and I am delighted with Punch in the puppet-show." At this juncture the man with the mustaches stepped up to the trio, and offering his hand with a grin to the ex-monarch of France, grumbled out, in very bad French: Odd enough, royal brother of France, that berg should be four sovereigns without crowns or subjects, meeting by chance at an eating-house. I was a king too, in my day. You did'nt ack nowledge my right, I believe; but if it had not been for those rascally Englishmen, I should still sit on the throne of Portugal." u Don Miguel !" exclaimed the tenth Charles; lis,Aear young friend, I am happy to make yOur acquaintance.. This is a very unlooked4or plea. sure. Dey, be friends with my royal cousin, the ex-king of Portugal." The Day shook hands with the Don, who also seated himself at the other side of the table. Charles called for three more bottles of cham pagne, and Miguel produced a roll of delicate little segars, which, he affirmed, were made pur posely for his own use, of the very best Cuba tobacco. He offered them round to his compan ions, but they were all too well-bred Co smoke in a public dining-room; so the Don put them in his pocket again, with a-sheepish look, like a man caught in a breach of good manners. In the meantime, the remaining three parties present at this somewhat remarkable meeting, having finished their meal, were diversely occupi ed. The water-drinker was evidently . engrossed with what was passing before him; tho casual, meeting of four deposed kings was for him a most pregnant subject for study and speculation. Ho sipped his iced water, and pretended to look goer a memorandum book which he had drawn'fro6 his pocket, but his cars were attentive to what took place at the other side of the room, and his eyes often wandered furtively in the same direc tion. The German took huge pinches of Stras burg, hummed snatches of airs from the Frey. schutz, and mixed glass after glass of strong gin and water and sugar. The old soldier rested his head on his hand, the elbow propped on the table, and seemed lost in thought of no very cheerful description. The conversation between the four grew lively ahtl mirthful Charles relaxed from his habitual sadness, and now and then perpetrated a joke at the expense of his lucky successor and cousin, Louis Philippe- Henry gave full way to the nat ural cheerfulness of his ago and temperament. Don Miguel laughed like a clown at a fair; and the Mussulman told some very queer stories with a delightful gravity. The champagne was renewed, and the whole party were fast advancing to a state of excellent good humor with the world, them selves, and each other. But all this seemed to affect the German very annoyingly. He grew more and more fidgety, plunged his fmgers into his snuff-box every half minute, vapored about with his meerschaum, and put less and less water to his gin, at each replen. ishment of his tumbler. It was evident, from his wishful looks, that he was dying to join the merry and royal party. At length,with a doubtful look, half foolishness and half fun, he rose from his scat, and gravely advancing to the four ex-monarchs, bluntly asked leave to make °neat their scderunt. His reception was characteristic. The eider Bourbon drew himself up with a look of hauteur; Henry started up with a flushed cheek, and an expression of countenance that in timated a disposition to kick the intruder out of the 700133; Miguel scowled, and poured out for himself another glass of champagne; and the Mussulman, whose perceptions were now some whet affested by his potations, stroked his black beard, and, with a suspicious twinkle of his still blacker eyes, gave voice to his cogitations: By the tail of the Prophet s mule, illustrious stranger—you're a very respectable person, no doubt—hiccup--but you see, friend, such tipple as this—(Allah forgive me if it's wine)—is fit only for kings--hiccup--and dcys—and sultans—you understand; and :though you're a very respectable person, as I said before—hiccup—and excellent company for your equals, excuse me for saying— hiccup--that you had better stick to your own drink,' whatever it is—hiccup—and leave us to I ourselves, you Irately—hiccup. Another glass, most royal of infidel; and I'll drink with you, in the name of the Prophet, although you did steal my crown, and drive mo out of my kingdom." The latter branch of this discourse was address ed to to the ox.king of France, between whom and filo merry Mahometan there seemed to be an excellent gond understanding, despite of bigotry on the one side, arid the remembrance of injury on the other. The reply of the gin -drinking gen tleman soon put a new face on the whole matter. o Yah, vah, my goot friend; what you say is quite right, strafe mich heel. Der champagne is only lit for kings; and if I were no more than a beggarly merchant or mister, or oven ono of the barons or counts that swarm all over this pitiful country, I should think shame to intrude on 'your good company. But lam a sovereign too: or at least I was, not long ago;' before my rebellious subjects, der bagel confound them, got up and burnt my palace about my ears, and drove mo out of my dominions. Six months ago I was Duko Charles of Brunswick and Lunenburg." The four boon companions, at this announce ment, shook !mods with the duke, and inado rooyn for him at their table; and Henry the Fifth, of France, rang the bell, and ordered another glass and another fink of champagne. As the wine circulated, the five deposed sove reigns grew more and more jovial. Duke Charles volunteered a Gerinan song with a droll chorus, at which the Dey laughed himself alinost into convulsions, although not understanding a word of it. Young Henry, pleased at seeing his grand father so much beguiled of his melancholy, exerted himself to increase the pleasure and harmony of the meeting, with excellent tact and success. His wit was gay and and sparkling, and: his deMeanor a graceful compound of ease, elegance, and active politeness, beautifully tempered with the modesty becoming his age, and the respect duo to his elder brethren in misfortune. Don Miguel grinned and said nothing, but drank like a fish; and as to the poor Dey, the unaccustomed liquor was making fast inroads upon his powers, mental and bodily. At length, when the song was finished, the younger Bourbon, after exchanging a few words in a low voice with his grandfather, rose from his chair, and, crossing over to where the veteran still sat absorbed in reflection, addressed him in French, and to this purport. . "Mon camrade—for I too am a soldier, though a young and untried one—will you not do us the favor to join our party, and help us to empty a bottle of this very excellent wine? You have heara our conversation, no doubt, and learn ed that we nro all princes in exile and misfortune. An old soldier is worthy to be the; companion of kings upon whom no cloud has fallen, and our misfortunes have not made us proud. Will you not join ourcompanyr The veteran had raised his "face and fastoi;ed his eyes on the blooming and ingenuous coun tenance of the speaker; he now rose to Ida feet, and, placing his hand with a solemn and touching dignity upon the young man's head, exclaimed with deep emotion: . "My son, the blessings of an old 'man, full of years and sorrows, be upon you. I will gladly and gratefully accept your invitation. The voice of kindness is not so familiar to my heart as to make it unwelcome, even from a stranger. The old soldier thanks and blesses you. But before I take my seat among your friends, know that their misfortunes and your own are as nothing coin ( pared with , mine. They have fallen from no greater height, and to no such depth of poverty and wretchedness as an unkind fate lies singled out for me. Return to your friends, and say to them that the exiled and lonely Colonel Gustafson is happy to forget his sorrows for a time in their good company." ' At that name all rose to their feet, except . the Dcy, who was now scarcely able to sit upright.— The sad and stately Charles, the half-witted Bruns wick, and even the brutal Miguel, paid willing homage to the sorrows of one not less exalted in birthright than themselves; and deep was the res• poet with which they received and welcomed the poor, deposed, and time-worn king, Gustavus of Sweden ft seemed that another errand of politeness and benevolence, not unminglcd, perhaps, with curiosi ty, now presented itself to the mind of the young Bourbon. The water-drinker was now the only solitary stranger in the room, and he had risen to depart, Moved, it is not to be doubted, by a feeling of respectful delicacy, to which none but . a brute could be insensible, in the presence of one so hal lowed by misfortune as the uncrowned monarch who once had sat upon the throne of Gustavus Vasa. Already, perhaps, had curiosity and won der betrayed the stranger into what might be re garded as a violation of good breeding, although certainly a king has no more right in a public house than any other man who pays for what ho has, and makes no disturbance. It would have been more generous, if not more courteous, to leave the royal party to themselves at an earlier moment; the sin gularity of these successive disclosures• had kept him a listener and a spectator; but now ho felt that it would be uncivil and unmanly longer to remain a spy upon their conviviality. Such at least may be supposed to have been his sentiments, for ho arose and drew on his gloves; but the young heir of France had already determined upon his line of conduct. Advancing to the stranger, and address ing him in very correct,, and, for a Frenchman, well-spoken English, with a,good-humored smile playing upon his lips and beaming in his oyes, he once morn adventured to become the ambassador of his royal friends: , !It is not," he said, “presuming too much, I trust, upon the !strangeness of this encounter, to which you, sir, have been u witness, to ask you the favor of becoming also a party. It will afford great pleasure to my grandfather and myself. and I am confident in making the .same assurance in the name of these other unfortunate personages, with whose history you are, no doubt, acquainted." The stranger rose and bowed. «I feel honored by this invitation," ho replied, "and render grate ful acknowledgments for your attention. A re quest ho , courteously _proffered could not ho denied oven without regard tc the high gratification I must feel in joining so excellent and illustrious a com pany." "May I ask the additional favor of being permit ted to introduce you to my friends'!" returned the Bourbon - . "Perhaps," he added with a smile, “it is my good fortuno to address another dethroned king or sovereign prime." , "Not so,"ansys-ered tho'straligery tifilint !rip such distinguished name.
