Eighness the PUKE of CUMBER4AND,

A base attempt to assassinate his Royal Higl

seas the Duke of CUMBERLAND was made at an
early hour this morning, by one of his domestics.
According to the report which has reached us, this
horrid attack was committed by the Royal Duke's
Valet, who, it is said, entered his Master's bed.
room about three o'clock in the morning, and en-
deavoured to stab him in bed With a sword. We
understand that he struck two blows at his Royal
Highness—the second of which fell upon his wrist,
his Royal Highness haring awoke and raised his
arm to guard against this barbarous attempt. His
Royal Highness then raised himself up, and th 6
Valet withdrew. Ills Royal Highness however
came to the door and called for assistance. It was
at first thought that robbers had entered the
house, and a serjeant's guard was called in.—
The serjeant and his men proceeded to search the
house, and on coming to the Valet's apartment
they found there the perpetrator of this atrocious
transaction With his throat cut. It appears that the
wretch, on seeing his Royal Highness move,. bad
retired to his own room, and immediately de.
stroyed himself. The raaor with which he cob.
milted the act of suicide was found near him
by Serjeant CartawroN. As his Royal High.
