On the 8th of this month Prince Waldeck passed through our city, coming direct from Vienna; he went immediately to Lisle, where he was sent on the part of the emperor to lord Malmesbury. This Prince, who was formerly in the service of the United Provinces, does not appear to be invested by the Austrian ministry with any diplomatic character. It is said the object of his mission was merely to interest the British negotiator in favor of the prince of Orange and his family, in order perhaps to endeavour to obtain his re-instatement to the Stadtholdership, or an indemnification proportioned to his loss.
Whatever interest the emperor may take in favour of the house of Orange, we are assured that the English cabinet are still more in their interest, and that the Stadtholder, who in 1787 was restored by the able negociations of Lord Malmesbury (then Sir J. Harris) stands in no need of mediation for the support of the British negociator.
