Medal of Chevalier St. George (Vol. ix., pp. 105. 311.).—With reference to the observations of your correspondents A. S. and H., I would beg to observe that, some time ago, I gave to the Museum at Winchester a medal struck on the occasion of the marriage of Prince James F. E. Stuart and M. Clementina Sobieski: on the obverse is a very striking head and bust of Clementina, with this inscription:
"Clementina, M. Britan., Fr., et Hib. Regina."
On the reverse is Clementina, driving an ancient chariot towards the Colosseum, with this inscription: on the top—
"Fortunam causamque sequor."
at the bottom—
"Deceptis Custodibus. MDCCXIX."
This latter inscription refers to her escape from Innspruck, where the princess and her suite had been detained by the emperor's orders.
This marriage, to prevent which so many efforts were made, prolonged for eighty-eight years the unfortunate House of Stuart.
