ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE THE DUKE
OF CUMBERLAND.
The public, deeply interested in every thing that
respects the safety and happiness of the Royal Fa-
mily, have been distressed this morning beyond de-
scription by a most wicked attempt to assassinate his
Royal Highness the Duke of CUSIBMILAND —an at-
tempt which, though it. had not the fatal issue in-
tended by the assassin, still leaves some apprehensions
for his recovery.
About two o'clock this morning his Royal High-
ness, who had been at the Hanover-square Rooms
the greater part of the evening, having retired to his
bed-chamber in St. James's Palace, his Italian valet
entered the apartment with a drawn sword, and
made several desperate thrusts at his master. The
Duke, who most happily had not gone to bed, finding
himself assailed in this manner, called up all his ener-
gies, sprung upon the assassin, defended himself in
the best manner he could, and at length succeeded
in getting out of the apartment, the door of which
had fortunately been left open by the assassin.
Before his Royal Highness effected his retreat, he
had the misfortune to receive three wounds on his
head, and six wounds on his arms and body.
Having got down stairs, covered with blood, he ,
found the porter at Ms post, who learning what had
happened, instantly ran to the apartment of his Royal
;Highness, where he found the assassin weltering in
his blood, having cut his ow-s throat.
Surgical assistance was immediately procured for
his Royal Highness, and we have sincere pleasure in
stating that none of the wounds are deemed mortal.
His Royal Highness was cool arid collected when
he reached the porter, beyond what could have been
believed to be possible after such a diabolical and
nearly fatal attempt upon his life.
The sympathy excited by this foul attempt exceeds
any thing we have witnessed for a long time. The
most anxious and solicitous enquiries filled every
mouth, and such was the concourse to the Palace to
learn the real state of his Royal Highness, that orders
were issued to cover all the neighbouring streets with
•straw, to deaden the noise of the carriages.
No 'cause is known for this infernal attempt, nnr is
it, possible to conceive what could have induced the
villain to seek his Master's life—a Master who had
been kind, affable and benevolent.
At present we shall add but one remark, but we
hope irwll ring in the ears of Englishmen like the
thunder of Heaven. You have on various occasions
presented addressesto the throne and to parliament, re-
spectfully requesting the redress of real or supposed

Dutch Papers to the 27th mention, that the Empe-
ror of AUSTRIA has issued a Decree, prohibiting, after
the 6th of June, the importation of coffee, except under
special licence, and paying a duty of 60 florins per
quintal. Upon the publication of this decree, coffee
instantly rose from 6 fl. 30 k. to 9 florins the pound.
—The Emperor, in answer to some merchants from
Trieste, who had personally applied for permission to
settle at Vienna, is said to have advised them to re-
turn home, as they would soon hear of an agreeable
piece of news.

Several vessels have arrived from the North of Spain,
one of whit?► left Corunna on the 16th ; another from
a neighbouring port was only eight days on her pas-
sage. An immense insurrectionary force was com-
pletely organized in Gallicia; but unfortunately there
were not arms in sufficient quantity to supply one-6th
of the number. This inconvenience, however, was
not expected to continue long, as a considerable quan-
tity of muskets was daily looked for from England.
The levy-en-axaue was in the mean time provided with
such offensive weapons as the country could afford,
clubs, pikes, &c. Nothing was known at Corunna of the
enemy's movements,on the frontiers of Gallicia, sub-
sequent to the capture of Astorga and their departure
from t!rzt town. Two Members of the late Supreme
Junta had arrived at Muros, where' they were com-
pelled to reside in a very secluded ,manner. One of
them was preparing to withdraw to Majorca, there
to live in retirement, « unless (as he stated) his coun-
try should again have occasion for his services."

A large quantity of church plate has been Pent to
England to be melted down, to supply the pecuniary I
resources required for the acquisition of arms, and 1
other necessaries for the public defence.
A letter received yesterday from Hamburgh states,

city, for a million and a half of Marks Banco. Ac-
counts from Copenhagen, of the sth instant, mention
that the exportation of wool from Jutland to Holstein
is forbidden, excepting such wool as is the produce

of the Duchy. Advices from Trieste, of the 20th
ult. state, that the Turks had commenced hostilities
by the attack of the tort of Kastaiaeza, from whence
they were repulsed by the French and Croats.
By vessels arrived from Charleston, levers were
yesterday received to the 19th cf April. They repeat
that Congress would adjourn on the ‘23d, without pas-
sing any new Bill on the subject of the Non-Inter-
course, which would undoubtedly be left to terminate
its existence naturally. The proceedings of Congress
had of late created much interest in the public m nd,
on account of the extraordinary jealousy and deter-
mined opposition which had been displayed by the
House of Representatives and the Senate. Whatever
was proposed in one place was opposed in thc other.
A new Bank is proposed to be established in Ame-
