Rome, Nov. 23. The Chevalier de St. George, who for some Months past had received no Intelligence concerning Prince Edward, receiv'd Letters from him last Week, brought by an Express that took his Route through Poland. That Express has already been sent back. The Publick is ignorant of the Contents of the Letters he has brought, the Chevalier having divulged them to none but the Pope, at a private Audience, to which the Cardinal Secretary-of-State alone was admitted. Several Irishmen and Scotchmen, Partisans of the Stuart Family, have since repaired to the Chevalier's Palace, to enquire about Prince Edward, but we can't hear that any satisfactory or clear Account has been given them: All we hear is, that the new Attempts made to engage him to return to Rome, have proved as fruitless as the former. Since they keep these Matters so secret, may we not be allowed to suppose it as probable that the Express in Question came from France as from Poland.
