Fowle's New Hampshire Gazette And General Advertiser

LONDON,

October 7. Messages of a disagreeable nature have passed, within these few days, between Lord George Gordon, and Comte Luci, the Prussian Ambassador. Lord George Gordon seeing his friends in Holland in difficulties, determined to have an unequivocal answer from Comte Luci, whether the new King of Prussia would or would not take the part of his friends in Holland?--On Wednesday his Lordship sent the following note by his servant.

"Lord George Gordon presents his compliments to Comte Luci--he had called twice upon his excellency as Ambassador from Prussia, within the last two days; and requests to know if he can have the honour of speaking to him, this evening, on the affairs of Holland. The bearer will wait his excellency's answer. Welbeck street, Wednesday, 8 o'clock"

Count Luci, after perusing the note, sent back a verbal answer to Lord George, "that he could not write in English." Lord George sent back his servant with a verbal message to tell Comte Luci, he might write in any language he pleased. To this Comte Luci replied, that "he would not send any answer."

Lord George's servant still persisting to press the necessity of the Comte's answer to his master, the ambassador's servants threatened to use him very ill, if he did not go out of the house directly.--Lord George Gordon called on Thursday at the Ambassador's and desired the servants to tell Comte Luci, that his first answer was a shuffling one; his second an ill-judged one for an ambassador, and a very impertinent one from Comte Luci to the son of a Duke.
