Label ON George the Fourth.

The British Ambassador at the
Court Of Madrid lately made application
to the Spanish Government, TO demand
punishment for libel on his Sovereign,
which appeared in one of the Spanish
papers.-The government ordered the
prosecution of the editor and printer,
but the grand jury refused to find bill,
endorsing upon the back Of the allega-
tons that they could fad no cause for
prosecution. The Article charged as
IibelIous was in the following words =
1t is affirmed, that his Britannica Majesty,
George the Fourth, will do himself the
honour of taking second wife in his
present journey 10 the continent; and
that this lady will be chosen from one
of the German courts--perhaps the
youngest Princess of the Austrian house
of Esterhazy--a young lady of the age
of 10 years, and therefore extremely
well suited TO the mature years of his
British Majesty, now in his Goth year
The paper then goes on to add, " that
this news can excite no surprise, since
there are persons to whom all crimes
are permitted, and who, though the OBJ
ject of general execration, nevertheless
enjoy all the favours of fortune, if re-
morse do not assail them at every hour
and every minute of the day, and if
they are permitted to enjoy the fruits
of their misdeeds."
More royal troHbtes.-A lady is attract
ing the attention of the publick, who
claims the title and rank of Princess of
Cumberland, as having been legally
married to the Duke of Cumberland,
brother to the late King of England
The following note of hers has appear
ed in the papers =
g Olive, Princess of Cumberland, informs
the English nation, that an execution has
been levied upon her body for debt, and that
the late King had bequeathed to her the sum
s OF E.15,000 which has been proved according
to law, and application made to Lord Sid
mouth for the payment of the same, without
efect--therefore, not having received one
guinea from the government, or any of the
large sum so bequeathed to her by his late
most gracious Majesty, Cher Royal uncle,)
: George the Third, the Princess is under the
painful ne sity Of soliciting the honorable
and generous protection CT the English nation.

Massacre Of the ROYAL Turtle.-A pri-
vate letter from Paris, dated Oct. /, saws,
" His Majesty, Louis XVIII. resolving to
entertain his Britannica Majesty with
whathe fancied he was most fond of, sent
for quantity of live turtle to London,
and a person came over to feed them.
They were getting remarkably fine, and
fit for Royal feast, when the news ar
rived that George w. did not intend to
visit Paris.-An immediate suspension of
NIL preparations took place, and the
turtles were doomed TO an nntimely fate;
The warrant for their execution was
signed last Thursday evening, and on
Friday they were wcltering in their
blood A French poet of the Boule-
wards has, we understand, written
most patheticlS elegy in which the dy-
ing turtles are made 10 lament their
hard fate, in not serving for a repast 10
Neptune, for so they designate the
Monarch who sways the trident of the
seas.o
A lincal descendant of the renowned
Montezuma of Mexico, who is also
&randee of Spain, has lately, it is said,
embarked from Bordeaux for Mexico,
.s'here, it is added, he has been called
by the natives torestore the dynasty Of
his family This may possibly explain,
why the Patriots of Mexico have re-
