Caroline Christiana Sophie, of Wollenbuttel,

Cxarof Muscovy. In her were mingled the

mind, and a foul tempered and governed by vir

and won every other heart, the waa nevertbeleas
an object of aversion to Alexia, the most bru

the Countess ol Konigamtrk, her lady of honor,
who had been present st the horrible event, she
slowly regained health and strength, while her
obsennies were magnificently performed snd
honored throughout Muscovy, and nearly all
the European Courts assumed mourning for the
departed princess. The wise and noble coun

the brave Marshal of Saxony, perceived that,
by not seconding the fdrtunate deceit of the
Prince Alexis, and the nation in general, and
by proclaiming her recovery, the ' unhappy
Princess Carolina, ulready the sport of such
cruel fate, would expose herself to perish soon

German domestic. ' Having collected as much
money and jewelry as she was able, the prin

mained with her in the character of a father,
which he sustained during his life; snd truly
and more sacred still thsn that of a friend. He
