In this manner lie coo trad ed the habit of rising eaTly, which he preserved till he w as sixty years of age. At this period he left off playing on the flute, having lost several of his teeth; add from that time hi* private concerts, from six to ?even in the evening, were almost wholly discontinued, which gaining for hiih a daily portion of time, em aided him to rise an liour later. I scarcely need olwerve that lie was sometimes obliged by circum stances to infringe on the regular dip; tritnition of his time. For exam - pile, the entertainments 4 given on great events, the jouroegfe be was obliged to make, and the annual re view of bit troops, necessarily ^changed fi^fjKe titnti the orcfer of his arrangements. In thh manner it WM, that, having sent for me one qvenitig before sixVctock, he cast his eye* suddenly on a timepiece, and said, "It wants, Sir, but a quarter to gevetf o'clock; I have a letter to write, and shall be in bed b^i^uWock, as 1 must be up at ope, and on the plain fcf Templolf before three* I will see you again to-mom w if I have lime. /Good evening to you for the present." ?

I ne ver saw kiflii more than three or four times in colored ooatv and thfse were old aml simple. in their fojm; and perhaps as many titties m assort of wrapping gown made of printed cotton; but this he never wortf but when severely indisposed, and on touch occasions his hat and boots ne ver Mled to lie <tdded, ... When hia dressing was finished, a (mm brought him a basket of. let tw to hia address. He employed the time till eight o'clock in reading them^r carefully examining the'; sew of each, to aee if it was entire; for Mfr;*uepect<ed, and not without rea son, (hat the cabinet secretaries soflMH times opened and suppressed letyers,! the contents of wllkh they feared might |ie injurious to themselves. From this (iractice he becatnfc perfect- j ly acquainted with the different seals j of families of distinction, and this enabled him lo' dispense with the trouble of opening such letters as lie knew>.he should, not be inclined to toswef? the only, trouble he girve himself being to throw them into the j flp6 Ih winter, and to tear them ini pieces and leave them on the table mfummer. ?J The letters he , opened be after wards divided into three distinct par cels.? The first- consisted of those, thai contained solicitationiLhe intend ed to urant, and were doubled with the address iuw >rd ; the second con sisted .of such letters as cbittAined solicitations he intended to fefnse; these were doubled with the Mdross on the outside ; the tbird included all letters respecting which he wi?h? ed to uelflierate or consult with hia ?ir others ; these were fold* ed twice a. stead of om*. . ~aimni> 8 o'clock, when all was tinisned, a cabinet secretary entered bis robin, fur the most part only one, the clUest among (hetfi, he Who was the greatest favorite, and tot that rei son considered the principal.

When the favorite secretary left the king's cabinet, he divided the immense parcel of letters into four iqual parts, and shared them with his brother secretaries, each of whom proceeded to write Replies conforma bly t6 the i^ncii^d cypher ; nor had tlfiey a moment to lose j for the whole {were to b* $aU*ti forsigpatutte to his majesty by four in tlie evening at latest.

Wben the king had signed ?H the answer*, it sUll '?? mained far the aecretaries to forward Uiein ; in this, however, they were assisted by their clerks^ whose part it waa to /old and seal the letters, while it it waa that of the secretaries to write the addiess. "The reason for this precaution was, that the king did not choose to have it known to whom he addressed letters. It should also be observed, that in sign ing the le(ters, the king never failed to read at least twenty taken at hazard out of the number presented to him, and iflbe.amaUeet deviation from (he directions be bad given appeared) the seoietary whose act it was, was 40 re of being completely ruined.
