LONDON.

Letters from Rome dated March 11, advise, that more than one personal Affront has been given there by the Chevalier Stuart (vulgarly called the Pretender) to his Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester; and notwithstanding that the Pope has sent his positive Orders to the Chevalier not to give any more Affronts to his Royal Highness, yet the Chevalier (understanding that the Duke of Gloucester was to pay a Visit on the third of March to Cardinal Albani) chose that Opportunity publickly to meet the Duke of Gloucester's Equipage in a narrow Street, and insisted upon the Duke and his Retinue to give way, which accordingly was done by the Duke of Gloucester, to the no small Triumph of the chevalier Stuart.

This Quarrel is not yet compromised, and probably may be attended with more alarming Circumstances. His Holiness the Pope, however, had on this Subject a Tete-a-Tete with his Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester in the Garden this Day (March 11.) No living Creature was present at this long Conference, between these two illustrious Worthies, but it is now publickly known to have been very agreeable to both Parties.

Since this Meeting of Nisus and Euryalus, His Holiness has ordered the Chevalier not to appear in Public any more, during the Duke of Gloucester's Residence at Rome. Query, if this Conference will not superinduce another Motion in the House of Commons next Session of Parliament, the Purport of which may be, to take into Consideration such Debts contracted by the King, as shall have exceeded his civil List, Allowance or Pension.
