Two hundred German settlers of Law’s grant were landed in the month of March 1721 at Biloxi out of the twelve hundred who had been recruited. There came among the German new-comers a female adventurer. She had been attached to the wardrobe of the wife of the Czarowitz Alexis Petrovitz, the only son of Peter the Great. She imposed on the credulity of many persons, particularly on that of an officer of the garrison of Mobile (called by Bossu, the Chevalier D’Aubant, and by the King of Prussia, Waldeck), who, having seen the princess at St. Petersburg imagined he recognized her features in those of her former servant, and gave credit to the report that she was the Duke of Wolfenbuttel’s daughter, and the officer married her. Grimm and Voltaire in their letters, Levesque in his History, all unite in pronouncing her an impostor. But you can choose your own estimate of this creature of high romance; if you elect to deem her a princess, you find yourself in the goodly company of the King of France, the Empress of Austria, Marshal Saxe, and a vast number of other folk of rank and intelligence. In the year 1771 there was sent to this country from England a woman convict, who had in her enforced home a most extraordinary and romantic career of successful fraud. The first account which I have seen of her was printed in the _Gentleman’s Magazine_ in 1771, and told simply of her startling intrusion into the Queen’s apartments in London; but Dr. Doran’s _Lives of the Queens of England of the House of Hanover_ gives this account of this interesting bit of Anglo-American romance.
