cated may be relied on. '
From Switzerland, Louis Philippe-re
. paired to Hamburg.. and thence • through
Jutland to Copenhagen and tllsineur.—
's . From the last city,. peculiarly interesting-tit
.an Englishman by its association with one
. of the proudest monuments of the genius
----- -of - Slialtspeare; - hd - crossed -- the:Sound and
landed upon the Scandinavian, Peninsula.
,After visiting Gottenburg and a' part of
. SWeden, he entered Norway, and stopped
a sherrtime at Frederickshall, the scene of
She last occurrence in the . eventful liro of
Charles the Twelfth, one of the most lin: .
. pressive illustrations which 'History:-has left i
'of the vanity , of human glory.
-
, , Henee the king continued his-
° route, to
Christiana, where he remained some titne,
tranquil and unsuspected, enjoying the pri
mitive kindness of. Norwegian hospitality.
A'eurious incident happened oite:,,day to
disturb hig equanimity, and. which at first
. led him titi , fear he was discovered. It is
the habit of society in that city, at the pro
per season, after having breakflisted, to go
into the country, and there pass the residue
- of thetday: After one of these excursions,
when the family wheie the, stranger had.
been received was preparing to return to
town, he heard the son exclaim with -a loth: .
"' ''voice-- t " The carriage of the . Duke of Or;
.leans !" .- He was recognized Without doubt
—but.. hot'
,could it be ?' Preserving ' his . .
. ~self-possegiinn, however, and perceiving
that the ,yothigman did not regard him, he
AM anxious tolearn:the cause of this sin
gular annunciation. . ," Why," '-said lie,
`et - idling,- "did you call , the carriage.of - the
Duke of Orleans; and what relations;' :have

.you with.the Prince ?" " None, indeed,"
' '^ t anawered his-Norwegian friend; "but While

_ era,. heard-repeated from all quarters,
'the carriage of '.the. of Orleans!' I
have been' more than once stunned with
ihe,noise, and I just took it into my head
' to ma he the same exclamation." •
The, king continued his tour to- Dron

The government charged itself with the
transmission oithis letter to the exile, and

These still proving fruitless. recourse was
had to a 1U r. Westford, a inerahant of Ham
burg, whirz-f•;oni--sothe circumstances, was'
supposed to- be in correspondence with the
Prince. This suspicion was well founded;
bet this faithful-friend received with proper
incredulity the. declaration of the Charge
d'AlTairee at Hamburg, that his object in
opening a 'communication with the King
was to convey to him a letter from his
!nether s on the part of the government; and
disclaimed all knowledge of his actual re-'
sidepee.,. He, however, immediately com
municated to Louis Philippe a statement .of
what..hed taken place, and,the latter deter - -
n*6a to risk the exposure in , the hope of
receiving a-letter directly from his mother.'
He Was!'at that tinie l in the neighborhood of
Haniburg, theugh in the Danish States,.
where ho had changed his- residence. froM
htime -to-time, as a due .regard to secrecy
required. An interview, was arranged by
'Mr. Westford, at his. own house, between
the Icing and the French . Charge, :where
they met in the evening, and where, afteri
the receipt of his mother'S letter, he signi

most kindly -received', and 'resided some
days. The king's Terniniseenees of Wash
ington coincide• with the statements getter
-ally-given by his contemporaries. of -his
private-life and personal habits. While at
Mount Vernon, ashington prepared an
itineracy of a journey to the Western coun
try, for the exiled Princes, and furnished
them ivith letters of introduction. They
made the neesstity preparations for a long
tour, which performed on horseback,
each of 'them carrying, in a pair of saddle
bags, (after the fashion of that period) what-.
ever he might require in clothes, and'other, ,
iirtieles for lii,s !personal comfort. Thus
furnished, he travellers took the road to
.Winchester, -whence they-dismounted at a
house kept by Mr. Bush The landlord
was front,Manheim; and the !dug having
recently visited - that city, and. speaking
German moreover as well as French or
English, a bond of communication was ,es
.
tablished between them, and the landlord
and the traveller were soon engaged in an
iliteresting conversation.
Our.'adventureri• thence proceeded to
Knoxville and Nashville. From the-latter
