Stein hotel on this occasion. After her royal highness had left Worthing, captain King appeared on the beach, got into a small boat, and about half way from the shore and the Jason, was met by his own barge, which proceeded to Lancing for the princess: her female domestics were taken on board from Worthing. Her royal highness and her suite were conveyed to the barge in a small poneycart, driven by her own coachman. All the carriages and horsemen which had been found on the beach at Worthing, and as many pedestrians as could, followed her royal highness to Worthing. When on board the barge she kissed her hands to the females who waved their handkerchiefs. The farewel was a silent one, seemingly as if it were feared that shouts might be misconstrued. The princess had one conspicuous article among her baggage; viz. a large tin case on which was painted in white letters" Her Royal Highness the Princess of of Wales, to be always with her." Her royal highness had on a dark cloth pellise, with large gold clasps, and a cap of violet and green satin, of the Prussian hussar costume, with a green feather.

HER royal highness having visited her brother at Brunswick, arrived at Milan October 8, and in

the evening went to the great theatre Della Scala, accompanied by several persons of distinction. In 1815 she fixed her residence at Naples. The English persons who composed the suite of her royal highness, during her travels gradually disappeared.

Lady Charlotte Lindsey, and lady Elizabeth Forbes, were her maids of honor. Mr. St. Leger was her chamberlain; and she had also for chamberlains, Mr. William Gell and Mr. Craven; her equery was captain Hesse; her physician, Dr. Holland; Mr. Sicard, a German, was her majordomo; Mr. Jeronimus, a German, her messenger; Philip Cravel, a German, her page; his wife an English woman, was a domestic; and there were two chambermaids, also Germans. There was no English man-servant, except a young postillion, called Charles Hartop, who at Naples was made her coachman. Mr. St. Leger, being prevented by family affairs, and an ill state of health, from journeying further, only accompanied her royal highness to Brunswick. Lady Charlotte Lindsey repaired to the Spa, either to join her sister, lady Glenbervie, or on account of her health. She rejoined the princess at Naples, who after four months abode in that town, quitted it, on account of the expence and the approaching political changes, and repaired, towards the end of March, to Genoa.
