ANNUAL REGISTER, 1818. [Aug. 



effort shall appear to me painful 

 to obtain that grand result. I 

 shall never be happy till it is 

 obtained ; and to obtain it, I shall 

 not hesitate, if circumstances 

 require it, to surround myself 

 with the national I'epresentation, 

 even before the epoch fixed by 

 the constitution." 



In the afternoon grand depu- 

 tations from the different orders, 

 presented their homage to the 

 King and the Prince Royal, and 

 his Majesty answered each in an 

 appropriate manner ; but as these 

 answers were merely echoes of 

 the addresses presented to him, 

 and contained only a repetition 

 of the sentiments expressed in 

 the above speech, it is unneces- 

 sary here to produce them. 



AUGUST. 



The Q?/eere.—— Arrangements 

 were making on Saturday the 

 first for her Majesty to take an 

 airing out of Kew Palace, for 

 which purpose some alterations 

 were to be made in her chair ; 

 but the report of her state yes- 

 terday was, " her Majesty has 

 had not quite so good a night, 

 but is much the same as she has 

 been for several days past."

'< The multiplied excesses that 

 have been committed by a certain 

 number of the students of Got- 

 tingen, in contempt of all public 

 order, and the respect due to all 

 the authorities, determined us to 

 cause an investigation to be 

 made, by a Special Commissicn 



sent to Gottingen, into the in- 

 excusable transactions which 

 have taken place, and the external 

 instigations, which are, up to a 

 certain point, of a nature to lessen 

 the culpability of the disturbers 

 of the public tranquillity. Un- 

 fortunately, this measure, dic- 

 tated by the best intentions, has 

 so little fulfilled its principal end, 

 that a culpable resistance was 

 opposed to the express orders of 

 our commission, and a great 

 number of students, industrious, 

 innocent, and well - conducted, 

 suffered a small number of the 

 ill-intentioned to interrupt their 

 studies, and to seduce them away 

 with themselves ; thus losing, to 

 the detriment of their own 

 fortune and that of their parents, 

 a precious portion of time, to 

 them irreparable. In truth, the 

 splendor and prosperity of the 

 University of Gottingen depend 

 not on the number, but rather 

 on the progress of the students in 

 the sciences, on their good con- 

 duct, and docility towards their 

 superiors ; and we shall regard 

 as a real benefit to it, that all the 

 enemies of application, and dis- 

 turbers who have left it, shall 

 never return to seduce their com- 

 panions in'study. 



" On the other side, we doubt 

 not that those of the absent 

 students, whether natives or 

 foreigners, who love order and 

 study, ardently desire to resume, 

 as soon as possible, their accus- 

 tomed occupations; which they 

 may do without any inquietude, 

 now that order is perfectly re- 

 established, and that we still 

 watch over its maintenance in the 

 most rigorous manner, against 

 whoever, student or other person^.
