Even in the letter his Majesty's orders are severe enough.
SENTENCE OF COURT-MARTIAL.
Meanwhile the Court-Martial, selected with intense study, installs itself at Copenick; and on the 25th of October commences work.

This Deserter Crown-Prince and his accomplices, especially Katte his chief accomplice, what is to be done with them?
Copenick lies on the road to Custrin, within a morning's drive of Berlin; there is an ancient Palace here, and room for a Court-Martial.

"QUE FAIRE?
ILS ONT DES CANONS!" said the old Prussian Raths, wandering about in these woods, when Gustavus and his Swedes were at the door.

"QUE FAIRE ?" may the new military gentlemen think to themselves, here again, while the brown leaves rustle down upon them, after a hundred years! The Court consists of a President, Lieutenant-General Schulenburg, an elderly Malplaquet gentleman of good experience; one of the many Schulenburgs conspicuous for soldiering, and otherwise, in those times.
He is nephew of George I.'s lean mistress; who also was a Schulenburg originally, and conspicuous not for soldiering.

Lean mistress we say; not the Fat one, or cataract of tallow, with eyebrows like a cart-wheel, and dim coaly disks for eyes, who was George I.'s half-sister, probably not his mistress at all; and who now, as Countess of Darlington so called, sits at Isleworth with good fat pensions, and a tame raven come-of-will,--probably the SOUL of George I.in some form.
