FROM LATE ENGLISH PAPERS.
More Royal Troubles.—A lady is attracting the attention of the public, 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 appeared in the papers:
"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 of 15,000l, which has been proved according to law, and application made to Lord Sidmouth for the payment of the same without effect: therefore not having received one guinea from the government, or any of the said large sum bequeathed to her by his late Most Gracious Majesty (her Royal Uncle) George the Third, the Princess is under the painful necessity of soliciting the honorable and generous protection of the English nation."
OLIVE.
