CAPTURES*OFF THE HOOK.
New Tork, August 12.
By the pilot boat Rambier, from
Sandy Hook, we learn that the
Britilh razee Acbar, and a gun
brig, are cruizing off the Hook;
and that yesterday they captured
two vefftls, and sent them to Hali
fax. The firft was the French brig
Triade, of Nantz, from Guana
loupe; the other the American
brig Hannah, from the fame port,
and both bound to New York*—
Four of the Triade’s and two of the
Hannah's passengers, were put on
board the Recompence, bound in.

The father of the firff George
who governed Etfgiana was Erin.lt
Augudus, dyke or Hanover. He
wa<> a younger brother oi Gcoige
William, duice of Bt uniWick, Lu

William, after lpending his youth
in what, among legitimates is call
ed gallantry, but in common parl
ance whoredom, became, at the
age ot iorty, deeply in love with a
plebeian French woman of the
udine of Eleanor Definier. This
lady refuting to yiciu to his Reduc

his paliion, but by marrying her
Ihe only liiue or tms match was
one daughter, the lamous Sophia
Dorothea. J. his daughter being
the heiress of ail her father's estates,
her uncle Erneff Auguitus, of Han

her father in marriage, The young
lady was in loye wuEa debauched

Mr. Thy nne. Several of his ac
complices were caught and hanged,
but he made his escape The duke
ot Brumwick compelled his daugh

ing her deep rooted paliion for
Konigfmark, to marry her cousin
George of Hanover; just as the
late uuke of Brunswick compelled

preienr prince regent of England,
notwithstanding her violent attach

George, the lon ci Erneff, after his

called Ins miftn-Ifes, just as his de

his. His wife Sophia Dorothea
thought it but fair play that (he
should do the fame thing, and as

her husband seldom kept
her company, (he cohabited w. irh
her firft lover the notorious lvm
igfmark. She confined herlelf
pretty closely to .her chamber, un
der pretence of indisposition. Her
gallant was admitieu with all possi
ble privacy, and retired before day
light in the morning, by a private
passage from her bed room It
happened, however, that old Er
neff, the feigning duke, had a kept
milt rets called Madame Platen,
who was also enamoured With Ko
niglmark, and enjoyed his embra

Sophia Dorothea, bribed fome of
the attendants, and so difeovered
the whole intrigue —This she loon
communicated to her paramour
duke Erneff who one night placed
a guard at the secret passage, and,
as Konigfmark was leaving his lo
ver, the guard seized him, carried
him immediately to a fubterraneous
vault or dungeon, which, by means
of a pipe, could at pleasure be filled
with water. No sooner was he
shut up than the water was let in,
and he was drowned dead enough.
vV hen Sophia Dorothea was in
formed of this cataff rophe she raged
molt turioufly, and exp re fled the
molt rancorous indignation and re
sentment. Neither the authority
nor menaces of her father-in law
could lubdue her spirit or reduce
her to moderation.—She called him
a murderer, a monster, an affaflin,
and declared she would no longer
remain among luch savages, and in
her frantic violence made several
attempts to destroy her own life
Hei good easy husband, George
(aftei wards George I of England,)
was absent at the time this happen,
ed. His father Erneff, who com
muted the murder, shut up Sophia
Dorothea in a prison called the
caltle of Ahlden, a few miles from
Hanover, where she was detained
during her natural life. This
tianlaction took place in the year
1636, at the time Sophia Dorothea
was only twenty years of age.
