The Baron de Pollnitz. in his Memoirs publish'd above twenty years ago, has the following remarkable paragraph, which, no doubt, will be agreeable to the public, not only because it contains the character of our most gracious Sovereign finely drawn by a foreign Nobleman, but is almost prophetic with respect to the continuance of his reign.

H E present King is not tall, -but very well shap'd ; has a stately port, a very grave countenance, and speaks little, but with great propriety. The French, English, and the Italian languages are as familiar to him as the German. He reads a vast deal, and knows more than most do who wear the Royal Diadem. Being not puffed up with pageantry and vain grandeur, he does not give into superfluous magnificence, but is an œconomist without avarice; liberal without being pro- fuse ; an enemy to vice, and a friend to virtue ; sober and regular in his ways and manners ; of a lively tem- per, full of spirit and ambition, but submitting both the one and the other to reason. He is active and laborious, understands affairs, has a quick apprehension, and a wonderful memory.-- His people are happy under his reign. In England. his only study is to maintain the peace and ballance of Europe, to make commerce flourish, and to render the nation one of the most pow- erful in the world. At Hanover, he endeavours, by good offices to his subjects there. to allevia.te their sorrow for his absence. He has not made any miserable since he begun his reign ; and if the blessings of the people help to prolong the days of their Kings, his Britannic Majesty may hope for one of the longest of reigns.
