-- DOUBLE-MARRIAGE PROJECT IS NOT DEAD.
And the Double-Marriage, in such circumstances, are we to consider it as dead, then?
In the soul of Queen Sophie and those she can influence, it lives flame-bright; but with all others it has fallen into a very dim state.

Friedrich Wilhelm is still privately willing, perhaps in a degree wishful; but the delays, the supercilious neglects have much disgusted him; and he, in the mean while, entertains those new speculations.
George II., never a lover of the Prussian Majesty's nor loved by him, has been very high and distant ever since his Accession; offensive rather than otherwise.

He also is understood to be vaguely willing for the thing; willing enough, would it be so kind as accomplish itself without trouble to him.

But the settlements, the applications to Parliament:--and all for this perverse Fred, who has become unlovely, and irritates our royal mind?
George pushes the matter into its pigeon-holes again, when brought before him.
