She purposes repairing to Rotterdam by Aix-ia- Chappelle, and is to be accompanied by a natural son of her husbaqd, .who is hqw iti tlie lnw countrics, superin tending the preparations of her voyage. The profit of this lady’s departure has been accelerated by the distress ing accounts the late vessels from America haveconvey- td.
