continually; and will soon want more power, or will have more jealousy than is consistent with their union.  Many single men are ill disposed to them, particularly Lord George Sackville:  indeed, nobody is with them, but as it is farther off from, or nearer to, quarter-day:  the nation is unanimous against them:  a disposition, which their own foolish conduct during the episode of the Prince of Brunswick,(441) to which I am now coming, has sufficiently manifested.  The fourth question put to him on his arrival was, “When do you go?” The servants of the King and Queen were forbid to put on their new clothes for the wedding, or drawing-room, next day, and ordered to keep them for the Queen’s birth-day.  Such pains were taken to keep the Prince from any intercourse with any of the opposition, that he has done nothing but take notice of them.  He not only wrote to the Duke of Newcastle and Mr. Pitt, but has been at Hayes to see the latter, and has dined twice with the Duke of Cumberland; the first time on Friday last, when he was appointed to be at St. James’s at half an hour after seven, to a concert.  As the time drew near, F`e6ronce(442) pulled out his watch; the Duke took the hint, and said, “I am sorry to part with you, but I fear your time is come.”  He replied “N’importe;” sat on, drank coffee, and it was half an hour after eight before he set out from Upper-Grosvenor street for St. James’s.  He and Princess Augusta have felt and shown their disgusts so strongly, and his suite have complained so much of the neglect and disregard of him, and of the very quick dismission of him, that the people have caught it, and on Thursday, at the play, received the King and Queen without the least symptom of applause, but repeated such outrageous acclamations to the Prince, as operated very visibly on the King’s countenance.  Not a gun was fired for the marriage, and Princess Augusta asking Lord Gower(443) about some ceremony, to which he replied, it could not be, as no such thing had been done for the Prince of Orange;(444) she said, it was extraordinary to quote that precedent to her in one case, which had been followed in no other.  I could tell you ten more of these stories, but one shall suffice.  The Royal Family went to the Opera on Saturday:  the crowd not to be described:  the Duchess of Leeds, ]lady Denbigh, Lady Scarborough, and others, sat on chairs between the scenes; the doors of the front boxes were thrown open, and the passages were all filled to the back of the stoves; nay, women of fashion stood on the very stairs till eight at night.  In the middle of the second act, the Hereditary Prince, who sat with his wife and her brothers in their box, got up, turned his back to the King and Queen, pretending to offer his place to Lady Tankerville(445) and then to Lady Susan.  You know enough of Germans and their stiffness to etiquette, to be sure that this could not be done inadvertently:  especially as he repeated this, only without standing up, with one
