a Discocery.-The u s. Gazette at Philadelphia,
furnishes with the following piece of information
sDuring the late presidential canvass, member of
Congress- wrote from Washington to the editor of the
Richmond Wing that the least room" of the Presi-
dents house magnicently furnished that he
was, good republican, quite scandalized at its ap-
pearance. 1t subsequently appeared nothwithstaud-
ing the use the opposition made OF the report TINT
the east room was not furnished at the public ex-
pense-indeed 1t was scarcely furnished at all We
now learn from the administration papers that four
teen thousand dollars will be expended in furnish no
that same eastern room. 1t was crime in Mr.. Adj
ans day--What is It noW?h
The Richmond Wing was probublya laps,ss pen,,ae
We assure the editors of the Gazette that the re-
nowned east room letter was never published in this
paper, but for the purpose of exposing IFS infamous
mendacity, and its author to the contempt Of the
world. Though we, like our learned neichbor might
have been imposed upon by that letter yet as the, mis-
fortune happened to him and not to u.s. we feel TO
disposition to share with him. The reputed author
of the east room letter never was correspondent,
of We hope the Gazette will correct the
mistake.
The Duke Of Cumberland. royal Duke, the
9TH OF George Ill, and for some time past Cover
of the Electorate of Hanover seems to have been
brought to England by his excessive zeal against
Catholic Claims; at least he has taken decided part
against them, in the discussions in the House of Lords
IF fame is worthy of credit, fas she but seldom how
ever, is in details the Duke of Cumberland like the
rest of his royal brothers, passed most dssipated
youth and early manhood without the suspicion of
crimes of deeper dye than aregenerally implied in
the term dissipation" The public mind in England
is now highly excited by some mysterious cir
cumstances lately enacted, and which are supposed TO
have reference to one of these crimes and to
furnish the clue to discovery The press has got hold
of the story, without having yet succeeded in de-
vesoong the mystery-one side insinuating the most
horrible accusations against the Duke of C,imber-
land the OF her protesting to have seen the evidence
and affirming his entire innocence. We give both
edes, matter of curiosity. The princess alluded
TO as having privately married Gen. Garth we under
stand to be the Princess Amelia, youngest Daughter
OF George the Third. The Democratic Press con-
tains the following extracts.
riE DUKE CUMBERfAND.-Ths ape
who has lately returned To England from abroad has
made himself conspicuous in lis opposition to the
intended concessions to the Catholics. Not howe
ever, content with his parliamentary exertions he
has made sundry bold attempts shake the mind of
the King, and had in measure succeeded until
he was waited upon by the Duke Of Wellington, who
has, 1t is said, obtained from George ". such
pledge he can in no way leave unredeemed In the
mean time it appears that the Duke of Cumberland
has got himse inS hot water and that he will soon
have cause to regret having quilted his foreign re-
treat to mibge in question of such magnitude, and
involving so many great interests well as the
feelings and prejudces of mons.
Our latest English papers contain long article in
which the character of the Duke of Cumberland is
evidently committed. It is headed "The Mysterious
