our abstract of foreign intelligence that REPORTS were
in circulation in England, OF nature the most re-
Voting respecting rnember Of the Royal family
bpt we did not state, that this royal personare vas
the Duke Of Cumberland. II will be recolcctcd
that the Princess Sophia sister of the Duke was Sc
veral years since, married to Gen. Garth By the
laws OF England, Princes aud Princcsses of the
blood are forbidden to marry subjects Of the King;
and this marrlage was accordingly declared to be il
@gnl. The issue Of the connection Is supposed to
have been Capt. Garth, the individual who distin-
sAed hinisnii three or four years since by running
sway with Lady Ashley. The mysterious contents
OF the box, alluded TO last evening as being in tire
possession of Captain Garth are said to be letters
Which passed between his mother and Gen. Garth.
oQe Of Which, in the hand writing of the princess,
CONTAINS accusations Of an obnoxious nature against
the Duke, her brother. In relation to this affair
Lohdon paper makes the following rcfnarks:-
