PORTRAITS OF TITK FAMILY OF GEORGE III, . - : I OF ENGLAND. BY LORD BROUGHAM. George the'Third.- " Of a narrow un- deistandinir, which no culture had en larged ; of an obstinate disposition, which no education, perhaps, 'could have hu manized ; of strong- feelings in ordinary thins, and ' resolute ntiachment to his o i, t t own . opinions and predilections, George the Tii ird possessed much 6l theJ firm ness of purpose, which, being exhibited by men of contracted mind, without any discrimination, and as i- pertinaciously jwhen tiiey are in ihe wrong as when they are in the right, lends to their cha acters an appearance of inflexible con sistency, which is: often mistaken for oreatness of mind, nnd not seldom re- c: ' - . , ,11! ceived'as'a stibstitutf for !:onesty. In ali thai rehited lo -liis kit)f;ly office, he was the sin V-of as dep -rooted a selfishness a.s his son : and no feeling of a kindly nature was ever S'ilU'r.ed to cross his mind, whenever 1 his povv-r was concerned, either in its maintenance, or in the man-' ner of ext rcisittg it. In other respects, he wns a man of a'rniable disposition, and few ,princes have been more extrnpiary in their domestic habits, or in' the office of private friendship. But the instantthat his prerogative was concerned, or his bigotry interfered with, or his will thwarted, the most unbendeing pride, the most bitter 'animosity; the most calculat ing coldness of heart, thai most unforgiv, ing resentment, took possession of hi whole breast, and' 1 swayed it by turns. r, The habits of friendsh ip, the ties of blood, the dictates of conscience, the rules of . i i r i . i honesty, were aiiKe iorjouen; ana tne fury of the tyrant, jwiih the resources of a cunning which mental alienation is supposed to whet, were reqdy to circtini; vent or. destroy all who interposed anob stacle; to the fierceness of his unbridled desire.. His conduct; throughout the Ame rican war, and towards the Irish people, has often been cited as illustrative of the dark side of his public character ; and his treatment of the Pjrince, Vhom he hated with a hatred scarcely consistent with ihe supposition of a sound mind, might seem to illustrate the shadier part of his per sonal disposition ; bat it was in truth only another part of his public, his profes sional conduct ; for the had no better rea son for this implacable aversion than the jealousy which men have of their succes sors, and the consciousness that the Prince, who must succeed hint, was tin -like bim, and, being dislikedvby him, musLduring their joint lives, be thrown into the hands of the adversaries he most of all detested." j ; - I Queen Charlotte. " Queen Charlotte was a Avoman of the roost ordinary size of understanding; of exceedingly sordid propensities, of manners and disposition I "-Cluoi done," (exclaimed the young Dauphin to his right, reverend precentor when some book mentioned a king as liaf jug died,)" (iuoi done f les rofs rnentenl ijs ?" 1 " duelquefois, Monseignevr," watf the cautious and courtly reply. That this .prince should afterwards grow jit quently seen in its company. Her spirit, J the natural course of things, into LoUif too, was-obstinate and jnot untinctured with spite; she was unforgiving; she was not undesigning; she could mingle m tne intrigues of a court, as well as feel its malignities ; and her pride knew no bounds combining the .speculative aris tocracy of a petty German court, with the more practical " haughtiness which is peculiar to the patrician blood of this free country. : Of the Prince of Wales she never had been a frjendj until he became Regent, wlien she became nt nnf hi XIV, and that his infant aptitude for Uiqf uaDiis oi royalty inus trainea, snouid git pand into the maturity of selfindu)gcftC which almost.'proved too "great a trial of French loyal patience, is not matter Of wonder. Our Louis, notwithstanding lh$ lessons of D?nn" Jackson, and the fellovr ship of Thurlow "and Sheridan, waa man of very uncultivated mind 4gnoratil of all but those pirnges of history which most princes read, with some superficial k no winder ot the dead Innruajtes, whictt tool and his slave. On the contrary, on he had imperfectly learnt, and scantily air occasions shf h husband s hat red of him, and had been as-' f;iciI-itvof modern tongue?, and no idei wbntt-ver of the rtidinit nts of anf screncey reaay an accomplice in his malitf-atmeiit of her firstborn child, ajs she now mnde herself the submissive arid willing instru ment of injury to his Wife his cousin, and her own niece. The" visitation of God which substituted jth'nt son fo"r his father on the throne, altered the whole face of affairs in the eyes of this unami able female, who seems to have been raised up as a remarkable proof how little one. may be either respected or belovrd, for being above reproach as regards the quality sometimes supposed to comprise all female 'virtue, and which indeed is familiarly allowed to "engross the name. To gratify the Regent's paltry spile, she pow refused, even to receive her daughter in lawat that Court where she might any day have become her successor ; and the populace, moved with just indignation at the behavior of this disagreeable, person age, loaded her with every offensive ex pression, and even with mbre substantial symbols of an extravagant disgust, while she was on her way to hold the Court whence she meanly submitted to exclude George Prince of Wales afterwards George IV , had been 'educated after the manner of all pri nces whose school is the palace of their- ancestors, whose teacher is boundless prosperity, whose, earliest and most cherished associate is unres trained self-indulgence, and who neither among their companions form the acquain tance of any ecual, nor in the discipline of the seminary, over taste of control. The regal system of tuition, is indeed, cu riously suited to it purpose of fashioning men's minds to the task of governing their fellow creatures; of training up a naiu rally erring and sinful creature to occu py the most ardous of al human stations,' trie one most requiring1 habits of self-commandand for duly filling which, all the instruction that man can receive, 'and all the viitup fiis nature is ca!nab!e of practis- t ing, would form a very ihadequoe quali fica'tion. This system had, upon the Prince of Vales, plodtu-i'd its natural ef- r.. : ' i L " ii . icia in r.n uu3uai propse measure, rte seemed indeed, to come! -forth from the information civen.

BROWN, Sup. of Ughtt.1 school, a finished specimen of its capabi lities and its pptyers, as if it to s1)ow b4w mucji havoc Can be made in a character originally deficient in none of the good, and few ol the great qualities with which it may be supposed that men are born Naturally of a temper byv no means sour or revengeful, he had become selfish to a degree so extravagant, that he seemed to act upon the practical cojnviction that all mankind were born for his exclusive use ; and hence he became irritable on the least incident that thwarted his wishes, nay, seemed to consider himself injured, and thus entitled to gratify his resentment, as often as any one, even from a due regard to his own duty or his own character, acted in a way to disappoint his expect ations, or ruffle bis repose. .His natural abilities, too, were far above mediocrity. He was quick, lively, gifted with a reten tive memory, and even with ready wit, endowed with an exquisite ear for muhic, and a justness of eye th0t fitted him to attain a refined taste in! the arts, pos sessed, too, of a nice eerjse of the ludi crous, which made bis relish for humor sufficiently acute, and bestowed upon him the powers of ah accord plished miicic. The graces of his person and his manners rjeed not be noted, for neither ix valuable but as the adjunct of higbejr qualities ; end the latter, graceful manners, is hardly to be avoided by one occupying all his life that first station which removes constraint, and makes the movements of the prince as naturally graceful as those of the infant, or the 'ibild loo young to feel embarrassment.
