George-Angustus-Frederick, the eldest child of King George the Third, and Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, was born Duke of Cornwall and Rothsay, Earl of Carrick, Baron of Renfrew, Lord of the Isles, and High Steward of Scotland. His birth took place at St. James's-palace, on the forty-eighth anniversary of the accession of the House of Brunswick to the English throne, Aug. 12, 1762, in the presence of the Archbishop of Canterbury, the great officers of state, and a large concourse of lords and ladies. The King, who was waiting in the adjoining room, gave the bearer of the intelligence a £500 bank-bill, Just after the joyful event was announced, a long procession passed under the palace windows, conveying a large quantity of ballion captured in the Spanish frigate Hermione. This occurrence was regarded as propitious, and excited the delight of the populace to enthusiasm.

On the 17th of the same month the new heir-apparent was created by patent Prince of Wales and Earl of Chester. His baptism took place in the Council chamber at St. James on the 8th of September following, when the sponsors were, his great-uncle WilliamAugustus Duke of Cumberland, his uncle Adolphus-Frederick Prince of Mecklenburg-Strelitz (whose proxy was William Duke of Devonshire, Lord Chamberlain), and his grandmother Angusta Princess dowager of Wales.

On the 26th of December, 1765, the

Prince of Wales was invested by his royal father with the Order of the Garter, together with the Duke of Brunswick, who, in the preceding year, had married his aunt the Princess Augusta. His Royal Highness's installation did not take place until the 25th of June, 1771, when he was joined in that cere. mony by his brother the late Duke of York, his uncles, the Dukes of Cumberland, Mecklenburg, and Brunswick, the Dukes of Marlborough and Grafton, and the Earls of Albemarle and Gower.

At the early age of three years the Prince of Wales received, and, having been instructed by his father, replied in a few words to an address presented by the Society of Ancient Britons; and in 1769 a drawing-room was held in his name and that of the Princess Royal. In the general course of the royal economy, the young Princes were kept in the greatest privacy at Kew. In that circle was the Prince's childhood passed under the care of Lady Charlotte Finch, superintended by the Queen berself, until, in 1771, a separate establishment was formed for the education of the Prince of Wales and his next brother the Bishop of Osnaburgh. Robert Earl of Holderness was appointed their Governor, Mr. Leonard Smelt their Subgovernor; Dr. Markham (at the same period made Bishop of Chester), and the celebrated Dr. Cyril Jackson, both of Oxford, undertook the task of tuition. These parties continued in office until 1776, when there was a total change. Lord Bruce (the late Earl of Ailesbury) was for one week the Governor; but on the 8th of June it was announced that "the King has been pleased to appoint his Grace George Duke of Montagu to be Governor; Richard Lord Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry, Preceptor; Lieut.-Col. George Hotham, Sub-Governor; and the Rev. William Arnald, B.D. Sub-Preceptor, to their Royal Highnesses George-Augustus-Frederick Prince of Wales, and Prince Frederick Bishop of Osnaburg." Bishop Hurd and Mr. Arnald were both Cambridge men. Previously to this change Carlton-house had been repaired and fitted up for the young Princes; a stated sum, by way of privy-purse, was given to each, and a weekly account of expenditure returned.

father ever allowed him to hold. The ceremonial of his introduction into the House of Lords by bis uncle the Duke of Cumberland, and the Dukes of Richmond and Portland, will be seen in our

The system which the King bad adopted for the education of his son was highly beneficial while it was in operation, and so far as sound scholarship was concerned. Confining the Prince to his studies with almost monastic seclusion and severity, it caused his ready mind to accumulate an unusual store of valuable knowledge. But no sooner did its operation cease, than it was found to produce effects which its royal author, and his noble and reverend agents, were the first to discern and deplore. It had too long shut out the world from the view of the Prince, and, by not graduating his advance towards the public scenes of life, rendered those scenes, when at last he was at liberty to survey them as he pleased, too novel and enchanting, too luxuriant and overpowering.

His tutors and governors had scarcely loosened the rein, before they were required altogether to drop it; numbers of a perfectly opposite character were in waiting to celebrate his freedom, and administer to his gratification and delight. Among them were certain individuals, celebrated for the splendour of their talents and vices, and in their earliest intercourse with the Prince, much more ready to corrupt his morals by the one, than to enlarge and elevate his mind by the other.

Here we must look for the origin of those painful misunderstandings which took place between the Sovereign and the Heir Apparent. The early friends of the Prince were in avowed opposition to his Majesty's Government, and soon infused their hatred of Ministers and their jealousy of the King into the unsuspecting mind and susceptible heart of their illustrious protegé. On political grounds alone the King had reason to be incensed at their influence over his son; but when to this was added the moral injury they were inflicting on one whom the pious father wished above all things to train for God and his country, it cannot surprise, that, wounded by their arts in his royal, his paternal, and christian feelings, he should have set his face as a flint against the men, and treated with rigour the son who had made them his companions and friends.

On the Prince attaining his majority, in 1783, he was appointed a Colonel in the army, the highest military rank his

message from the King desired the Commons to provide for his Royal Highness a suitable income, and a sum sufficient for the formation of an establishment appropriate to his station. For the latter purpose 60,000l. was granted; and for the former the annual sum of 50,000l., being only one-half of what had been allowed to his grandfather when money was of greater value. The narrowness of this provision was condemned by one party as likely to lead to great inconvenience; and applauded by another as showing a proper regard to the already intolerable burdens of the people. One portion of the Coalition ministry who were then in power, warmly argued for an allowance of 100,000l. a year. The Prince himself, interposed, and insisted that the settlement should be left solely to the discretion of the Sovereign. The Prince's expenditure, however, exceeded 64,000l. ; and the debts incurred by the altera tions of Carlton House, and other arrangements, made his total annual outlay in money and credit fully amount to 100,0001.

A

His difficulties increased so fast, that three years after his settlement he ap plied to the King for assistance. schedule of the Prince's debts was, by the King's command, laid before him; but, whatever might be the nature of the document, some of the items were so inconsistent with the strict moral principles of George the Third, that the ne gotiation ended in a positive refusal of relief,

A determination was then taken by the Prince to live on 10,000l. a year, and dedicate 40,000. annually to the jquidation of his debts until all were discharged. In this resolution, which some loudly applauded and others more strongly condemned, his Royal High ness strictly persevered for nine months. But in the session of 1787 the King and his ministers were induced to give way to the presumed wishes of Parliament; and by the consequent negotiations, a promise was given to pay the debts, to make allowance for the works at Carlton House, and to add 10,0007. a year to the Prince's income; whilst on the other side there was a formal engagement to abstain from future involvements.

We now arrive at the memorable dis cussions which arose on the question of a regeney. The king, whose first at
