London, May 6.  One Cudjoe, a black, by the death of an
aunt, became last week possessed of a fortune of 2000l. 
This black was sent over as a present to the late Lord
Halifax, as a grateful acknowledgement for his having
interested himself so warmly in the cause of the two young
African Princes, who were here in the last reign.  When Lord
Halifax was Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, he made this Cudjoe
state trumpeter, which place he still enjoys.
