March 13 : The princess royal of France was presented yef terilay'at court to a very numerous and brillinnt circle ? her royal highness was presented by the empress herfelf to the ambalTadors and their ladies, and to some other ladies of the firft rank : after o) which the other ministers and nobility were prefen- t j ted to the princess. The scene was interesting and affecting, and particularly so to the Imperial Fami- -y ly, who seemed to feel it very sensibly. The prin- d cess royal was much touched at the attention (hewn q to her, and her embarrassment upon her entering the room added lustre to her beauty, as well as to D the grace and affability with which her r»yal high- j ness returned the compliments paid to her. Her - royal high ness particularly said the handsomest things possible to marthals Lafeey, Clairfavt, Col loredo, Pollegrinl, and to count Trautmanfdorf, when they were presented to her. Six noble emi- n glints were alfa presented to the princess, who re- g ceived them with much sensibility. In the evening f the princess appeared at the Theatre, and, was re ceived with the molt violent bursts of applause. 1 .n- ■ wyi—» _ ( KINGSTON, Jamaica, April 28. v The Honorable House of Aflembly have ilnani- g moufly voted a sword, value 700 guineas, to his a Jordfhip the earl of Balcarras, for the services ren- e dered by him to this island, during the late rebel- 1 lion : They have also voted a similar present, value 1 500 guineas, to Major General Walpole, for his r zeal and activity during the fame war. z The Committee of the House of Aflembly and { the Council, were yesterday to give in their final 1 determination with refpeft to the Maroons now at t Port Royal.

Payments here and at the Cape have been for mally fufpended—Perroud is gone to the City ®f St. Domingo, it is said to meet the Commissaries V from France; but many doubt the truth of the re port of their arrival. The situation of Government here and at the Cape is lamentable indeed. The C General is obliged to have a valt number of troops with him for his protedtion, and he is without a (in gle barrel of flour—they have become clamorous, and without speedy relief the worll of consequenc es are to be apprehended. Here we are not so bad ly off tor provisions ; but the troops ate so much harassed with constant duty, that there are many t malcontents : to insure fafety to the town, they are constantly obliged to patrol, and scarcely a week , pafles but we are menaced with burning the town, \ killing all the Whites and Mulattoes, and these me- | naces by the Africans, who do not know what they want."
