a Brother to the Duke of Wirtenbergue was under the protection and care of the Crown of France by reason of the great merits of her Father's Services and it was believed would have stood fairer than any for its assistance to the preferment of this Match if that of the Dutchess of Guise and Princess of Modena did not take place She was of middle Stature Fair Complection with brown Hair the Figure of her Face turn'd very agreeably her Eyes Gray her Looks Grave but Sweet and in her person she had the motions of a Woman of Quality and well bred But above all she had the appearance of a Maid in the ripeness of her Youth of a Sanguine and Healthful Constitution fit to bring strong Children and such as might be like to live and prosper Although there was much modesty in all her behavior yet she was not scarce of her discourse and spoke well and pertinently to every thing His Lordship not being now unsatisfied with this interview and believing that except the Princess of Modena he had neither seen nor heard of any thing more proper for what might capacitate the person of a Wife he began to enquire of the Fortune might be expected with her But of that although some concern'd for her did give out That by several ways there might be expected from her Friends Fifty or Threescore Thousand Pounds yet he confessed he could never find any reasonable bottom upon which to build such an assurance Yet a Marriage being his chief business and a probability of Children he gave according to his Trust and the Duke's Command the truest Character he was able of her and her circumstances His Highness hereupon having a concurring account of this Princess from others he had charg'd with the Enquiry as well as his Lordship seem'd so satisfied with it as he gave order to the Earl of Peterborow to proceed in his application to the Princess and to give hopes to her and her Friends That he would send sudden orders to demand her in the usual Forms And from the earnestness of the Duke's Expressions he himself did believe he should in two or three Posts have been capacitated thereunto He obey'd and found every day new contentments in the conversation of the Princess so as he doubted not there would have risen from this commerce a satisfaction both to his Master's Interests and Enclination But on a sudden unexpected orders gave a change to this affair an Express brought directions to the Earl That leaving Paris privately with as little company as was possible he should repair incognito to Dusseldorpe the Residence of the Duke of Newburgh and that there he should try to get a fight of the Princess his Daughter who had been earnestly recommended to his Highness as a Princess fittest of any for his Alliance This was believ'd did proceed from the Service France did at that time expect from the Duke her Father whose Country and Troops were at that time adjacent to those parts of Flanders and Holland where the King made a very sharp War And it was earnestly supported by divers persons of much interest in our Court who had been formerly obliged or at present gain'd to promote the satisfaction of that Duke But the Earl had orders from His Royal Highness to give him a perfect Character of that Princess her Person as to what he could see of her Parts Manners and Enclinations as he could any ways learn with the reposition of so great a Trust as he did assure him if he found her not answering the Character had been given her he should have immediate Orders to return and to bring home the Princess of Wirtenbergue of whom we have spoke before The Earl who was nothing but Duty and Faithfulness to the Duke obey'd his new Orders with all the diligence imaginable he took Post accompanied only with an Italian Gentleman one Signior Varasani his Gentleman of the Horse and one that serv'd him in his Chamber He arrived in two days at Metts whence by Water he came to Cullen At the time Sir Lionel Jenkins and Sir Joseph Williamson were Embassadors Plenipotentiary at that City He did not intend to have seen these Ministers having no Orders to communicate nor Advice to take of them But walking alone in the Street after his arrival he met Sir Joseph in his Coach who without considering he was not in a condition to be publickly taken notice of light and complemented the Earl in the Street of which unseasonable respect his Lordship deliver'd himself by his desire that he would forbear it any farther But after this he did privately visit those Embassadors but without communicating his Business or Intentions He prepar'd then for his Voyage to Dusseldorpe pretending at the House where he lay a curiosity to see the Court and Habitation of a Soveraign Prince not above .......... from that City who had the Reputation of being Wise and Generous and to live in all the State and Order suitable to his condition and the greatness of his House The Master of the House provided him a convenient Guide acquainted with the Town he was to see and the ways and passages to it So one Morning the Earl his Companion the Seiur Varasani and too Servants Embarked upon the Rhine and in an ordinary Boat were carried down the River to the Walls of Dusseldorpe They were examined at the Gate and giving account that they were Strangers brought by curiosity to see the place were admitted and by a Souldier conducted to an Inn where they stay'd to repose themselves and take their measures for a farther proceeding They thereupon sent their Guide to enquire the method of approaching the Palace and the Prince who brought word There would be that day a greater difficulty than usual by reason the Prince and Court were to be employ'd in seeing an Anniversary Contest among the Citizens and other persons of that place which should soonest Shoot down the Papegay or Parrot a thing made in similitude of such a Bird from a very high Pole which was to be performed with much Method and Ceremony and the Victor to have the usual reward of his address But that before the beginning of the undertaking the Prince was to be entertained at Evening Service in the Jesuits Church with very rare Musick to which the Dutchess and Princess did likewise resort so as the Earl might have a fair view of them there and what else was considerable in the Court and that he would conduct them to a Station proper for that end This was readily accepted by his Lordship and his Companion who were by their Guide placed in a fair passage part of a Cloyster whereby they were to pass After some expectation the Duke arrived preceded with the State and Ceremony was suitable to a Soveraign Quality he had his Wife by the Hand the Princess follow'd and a considerable Train of Ladies and Cavaliers well dressed and in good order The Princess was
