London, October 15. It is said his Danish Majesty the day
before his departure, conversed some time with Mr. Garrick,
and gave him a gold box studded with diamonds, desiring him
to receive it as a small mark of the great regard he had for
his extraordinary talents. He left 1000 guineas to be
distributed among the English servants at St. Jame's
appointed to attend him during his stay. He made presents
to the Earl of Hertford, Lord Chamberlain; and to the Earl
Talbot, Lord High Stewart, of a ring each, of the value of
L1500. He also laid out large sums in the purchase of goods
from different manufacturies.
