The sloop Capt. Burrows in the schooner Molly arrived here last Saturday from Grenada, in 14 days passage, informs us, that before he sailed, advice was received from Barbados, of the arrival of a packet from England, which brought an account that the Prince Stadtholder was lately killed in a tumult among the people of Amsterdam. If this be true, it's likely that some trouble will ensue between the States General and the King of Prussia, as that Monarch has more than once, of late, interested himself in behalf of the Prince of Orange, in the frequent controversies between him and their High Mightinesses.
