clearly enough, at tdu1 pas, in which his Royal
Highness Prince George William Frederick Charles
of Cambridge,-l love, like Dr. Primrose to give all
the namels concerned, and the noble daughter of
Duke in the West of England is mentioned as the
other party-the unmarried dauehter
Some of these paragraphs hint tn at something We
ry dreadful has occurred others say that it amounts
TO no more than discovery that the parties are in
love with each other, but the course of their inpo-
cent and mutual affection does not .'run smooth be-
cause the royal marriage act prohibits the Prince from
marrying the daug ter OF a subject without the Soye-
reign's permission which, say the gossps has been
asked Tor and refused.
The Morning Post denies that there is any truth in
the statements winch involve the character and hap
piness Of noble family" The misfortune is as
usual, the worst IS generally believed
The facts are as iollows,-but in this case | do
not state any thing from my own owledge but from
the fullest and most generally credited accounts float
ing abouI in London society. The first whsper was
that Prince George of Cambridge had seduced .tbe
noble daughter OF well known duke in the west of
England" This al once pointed out the Duke of
Somerset or the Duke of Beaufort. The people re
collected that Lady Augusta Somerset was one of
the ladies in waiting upon the Duchess Of Cambridge
and Immediately sand, ''oh 1t must be her She il
daughter to the Duke Of Somerset But il hapnens
that ST. Maur, not Somerset, is the family name of
the Duke of Somerset, and that no daughter of hi,
is IN any way attached to the establishment of the
Duke Of Cambridge The eldest daughter of the
37th year, and lady Henrietta, the Youngest is "a
either of these are rather too ancient for Young
man OF ~ TO have an intrigue with. Don't Won
think soi
Lady Augusta Somerset is the eldest daugb,er of
the Duke OF Beaufort, whose family name is Somer
set. She IS in attendance on the duchess of Cam
bridge and no doubt the party alluded TO- She il
about the same age as Prince George and is very
pretty, fashionable young lady She has been with
the Dutchess several years and lived on such terms
with the family as to be considered almost one of
them
Whether any thing serious has occurred is not pull
lcIy known. Some one OF the papers spoke of the
Duke oil Beaufort Ollarriet Wilson's Marquis of
Worcester) having made formal demand of as lis
faction" from Prince George but whether for triang
with the affections of whom his position doe hot
allow HIM to wed, or more for ANYTHING more fla
grant, "this deponen saith notr An that i know,
for certain Is the fact that there is screw oosen
somewhere.
One point, however, think worthy Of notice
Lady Augusta Somerset has not quilted the roof and
protection of the Duchess of Cambridge. She ac-
companies her IN public, she sits at table with her IN
private, as heretofore. Is it likely, if her nuritv
were sulled that this would be allowed The prcb.
ess oil cambridge has unmarried Daughters and
seduced lady would not be company for them, II uas
expected that something would transpire AT the PRIV
Council held at Windsor by the Queen, the day be-
Tore yesterday as to this matter but nothing known
Ii the lady ought TO be married-altbouyh bsr nosi.
