NEWS FROM THE THEATRE OF WAR (Supplement to the Prussian State Gazette of 'Oct. 14.) Five o'Clock, P.M. The following accounts have just been received from the theatre of war : I. Extract from the Report of the operations in Asia Minor to 20th - August* (Ist September) A KHAtz/K .—Lieutenant-General Prince Wod bolski was detached to besiege thefortress of Azkpur, which is situated on the road to Georgia. The General sent some of the inhabitants of Aklialzik with a summons to the garrison to surrender. Terri fied by his rapid advance, it retreated to the moun tains, and the inhabitants opened their gates to him. Fourteen cannon, six standards, and a considerable quantity of ammunition and provisions were taken in Azkpur." 11. Extract from the Report of the operations before Silistria to the 11th September : " Redoubts have been erected, and furnished with heavy artillery, on the heights taken on the 28th of August, and the fortress is vigorously cannonaded. " On the 11th September, a corps of 5;000 of the enemy appeared at the village of Totorycy, and and attacked our out-posts with a superior force, on which the latter retreated towards the road from Tourtoukay. The enemy took the way to the for tress, and joined the troops sent out to meet him. He then attacked our two nearest redoubts, but wa f t repulsed. The enemy's cavalry then attacked the corps of Lieutenant-General Krutz, but was put to flight with loss. The • enemy, during his retreat, suffered severely from our grape shot, and left 200 dead on the field. We have GO killed 'and 90 wounded : among the latter are eight officers." 111. Extract from the report of the operations before Shumla, from the 21st to the 27th September: " On the 21st a detachment of the enemy's in fantry approached one of our redoubts, but was put to flight. " The troops before Shumla will soon be joined by the Gth corps, under the command of General Roth, as Silistria is besieged by the 2d corps, tinder the command of Prince Scherbatoff. Before _the General left his position before Silistria, be . -was at tacked on the 15th of September by an enemy's corps of 4,000 men, which was repulsed with great loss. The ene my left 300 dead on the fi eld, among whom, according to the declarations of the prisoners themselves, is the Commander-in-Chiefofthe cavalry. " A squadron of the Charkow Hulan: particularly distinguished itself in the action." IV. Accounts of the operations before Varna, from the 22d to the 26th of September:-- . " The %yolks of the besiegers are near their ter mination. Two breaches are nearly practicable, and by means of gabions entrances continue to be gained into the ditches. On the south side of the fortress, opposite to the corps which occupies the Peninsula of Galata, an enemy's corps is now advancing from the liver Kamczyk (Karntchi). " In the night of the 25th, one of the enemy's re doubts, which is opposite the centre of the fortress, was taken by storm. Without firing a gun, Colonel Prince Prokorowski, at.ike head of the regiment of Nizowsk, attacked it at the point •f the bayonet, and drove out the enemy, who had above one hundred killed. In this action we took one cannon, three standards, and the part of the camp adjoining the back of the redoubt. We had two officers and forty privates killed and wounded." V. Accounts of the operations before Varna from 26th September/to Ist October:— " We had received, some days ago, information that a strong corps of the enemy was approaching for the purpose of raising the siege of Varna. It was said to be detached by the Grand Vizier from the other side of the Kamtczyk, to join Omer Vrione, who had left Shutila - at the head of %detachment of Albanians. Soon after our-outposts announced, the, approach of the enemy. A strong.division. wasrim-, mediately sent to reconnoitre; load,ditliculties, how ever, prevented us from acquiring accurate informa tmn respecting the advance, as well as the strength of the enemy. During this reconnoissance the Yager regiment of the foot guards suffered consi derable loss. Among the killed are, Major-General Hartung, Commander of the regiment; Colonel Sarger, Aide-de-Camp to his Majesty the Emperor; Colonel Busse, and ten officers. • " The next day the enemy appeared before our position, on the south side of the straits of Varna, but our corps was already reinforced, and placed un der the command of General Bistrona. . . " On the 27th, Lieutenant-General Suchozonet, with the Ist. brigade of the light caValry of thi Guards, the 2d brigade of the 19th division of the infantry, and two batteries, was detached to the left side of the straits of Varna, to threaten the right wing of Omer Vrione. By the rapid and complete ex ecution of this movement, the TUrkish camp, in the village of Hadji Hassan, fell into our hands. The enemy lost one standard, and about 500 men. Mean time, Prince Eugene, of Wurtemburg, arrived from the camp before Shurela, with the Ist brigade of the 19th division ; and having been joined by the 20th regiment of Yagers, he joined General Suchozonet en the 2Sth of September, according to the orders lie had received. On this day General Bistiona re pulsed a serious attack. The enemy, who, since his arrival, had begun to entrench himself, left his camp in great force, and attacked our redoubts. The action continued with great impetuosity for four hours. The fire of our battery, as well as a vigorous charge with the bayonet, executed by - the Ist bat talion of the Yagets of :the Foot Guards, as well as by the Ist battalion of the Greadiers of the Body- Guard, decided the victory. • " Each of these battalions took a standard, and the Turks retreated, leaving behintrl,ooo t r ifl ed. In d this engagement the enemy brou ght fora 15,000 infantry and cavalry, and had an equal numberin the entrenchments. We lament the loss of the braVe General Freitag, commander of the Re g io le „, or Grenadiers of the body guard ; and of Colotiel•Zay_ cow, of the same regiment: both fell at the head of the battalion. The next day the enemy remained quiet, and was employed in fortifying his camp. " We resolved, therefore, to interrupt his tran quillity, and to attack him on the following day (the 30th). The attack, conducted by General B istrona, was only a feint. Prince Eugene, of Wurtemburg, led the second attack. Alter arranging his force opposite the enemy's left wing, our troops were obliged to manoeuvre on ground broken by innu merable hollows and thick bushes,—a circum stance peculiarly faVourable to the enemy's in fantry, us they conceal themselves in the bushes and tight singly. In spite of these difficul ties, the 20th regiment of Yagers succeeded in taking the first redoubt and one cannon. Our troops were animated with such courage,' that, can trary to the orders of Prince Eugene, of Wurtem bum, the Ist brigade -of .the 19th • division, corn man'ded by General Jurriow* attacked the enemy's camp. This officer fella victim •to hisaroble-spirit, while his brigade succeeded i n . reac hi ng the parapet of the enemy 's entrenchments ; but as it %vas here exposed to the fire of the enemy's musketry, attacked • in front by a superior force, and -thr eatene d on t h e flanks by the enemy's cava lry, it was obliged, as it was toe far from the columns which should have supported it, to retreat, aft er havin g sustained considerable loss. It therefore retreated in the best order, under the protection of our batteries, and of an attack made by the Hulans of the Guaid. The action was then put an end to, and the corps of Prince Eugene of Wurtemburg resumed its position at Hadji Hassan. The boldness with which our troops attacked the enemy's entrenchments made so great an impression on the enemy, that notwith standing- our loss, he ,not only did not hinder the retreat of the corps of Prince Eugene, btit'has still remained to day behind his entrenchments. " The works before Varna , are so far advanced, that the mines reach in two, places to the main rampart of the fortress." We give all the dates in the following Official Bulk tins according to the new style. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France, dated Sunday; . Oct.- 19.)1 VIENNA, OCT. 9.--We -have learned with great, surprise in the foreign Journals,:that, Austria was going to make .a loan of one hundred millions of florins, the half to be in Metaniques at par. %Ve have not heard the slightest mention of it here. For some days past we have been without news from the theatre of war. Letters from Bucharest say, that since the-last sally from Silistria, on 15th. Sept., the Turks have attempted nothing against the corps blockading that place. Those who. - had 'passed at Simmilza to the left bank of the Danube, have returned to the right bank, after committing .great ravages in Wallachia. Nletalliques, 91-; Bank Shares, 1,077. CORFU, SEPT. 14.-- , We learn from Navarin,-that many Turks, born in the Morea, are preparing to leave the country, and that others i nten d t o re m a in there, provided they are allowed the free exercise of their .religion, and that their persons and ,property are respected. Accounts from Prevesa say that General Church had left Mitika, and arrived before the Castles of Plaja and Teck. Veli Bey was preparing to defend himself against the Greeks. Travellers from Janina say, that on the Bth a Firman of the Sultan was•published in that city, en joining the Seraskier, Redschid Pacha, to proceed immediately, with his troops, to join the grand Turkish army, and that during his absence the Se lictar Pods, one of the principal Albanian Chiefs, would be charged with the defence of the provinces under his command. 1 hese travellers affirm, that a similar order had been published at Delvino, the re sidence of Selictar Poda. ANCONA, SEPT. 29.—Letters from Zante say, that the French have not yet quitted the environs of Calamata. They have experienced no hostility from the Egyptians and Turks, except picking up some single soldiers, who had straggled too far from the camp. Hopes are still entertained that the Morea will be evacuated without employing force, and the Grand Signior withdraw his . troops. Red schid Pacha has already received orders to join the army in RoFnelia, but it is thought that it is only to give sat sfaction to the Albanians, and that it must not be hence inferred that the country will be eva cuated by the Turkish troops. (From the Constitutionnel.) . PARIS, OCT. 17.—The destinies of Etirope are settled. The complaints of the enemies of modem society attest this. True liberty is seated on a foundation as strong as that of civilization itself, from which it is inseparable. Nothing can again bring it into question; neither the precarious state of Ireland, of Portugal, or Greece, nor the intrigues of persons who are always intriguing; because, while they carry their jokes so far as to style themselves persecuted, they require impunity as their privilege. Who will deliver us from legal order ? they inquire. They will - not be delivered from it. All the en lightened part of Europe is now occupied with prin ciples of organization, and understands them better every day. The liberty of nations and public repose will very soon find in public opinion a certain guarantee. Our future progress will depend in future less on the spirit of party than on thought; and it will be peaceable, like the march of the sciences, since men have schight real knowledge in place of quarrelling about words. Once engaged in this route, the human mind uses even the vicissitudes of society to promo•e its perfection. Ireland is agitated—it has suffered much. To drench it with blood, such causes, in days of ignorance, would have been more than sufficient. At present the English do not fear that a Nuncio will lay Great Britain under an inter dict, and sell the Crown to some neighbouring Prince. The Irish accordingly. take care that the blame of civil war shall not lay at their door;, and, as Europe watches them, they must embrace a wise' ,part. There are - 'discontented people who cannot be restored to reason, and rebels, always greedy of do minion.; but these are the Apostolical rebels. AUSTRIA, OUT. 9.--The Turks have been dis comfited in Little Wallachia, and our Funds have, in consequence, fallen. Our last letters from Bu charest, 'on the 30th September, and those from Semlin, of the Ist-and.2d of this month, inform us that the Osma.nlis, beaten_ at Brosba and Tcheret, have filler) back on the Danube. The Sultan,. who has induced his invincible. soldiers_ neither to give nor take quarter, probably did not _add that thcy• were t.) kill themselves on the spot, fOr they have fled for it pretty nimbly. Winter, we expect, will show us many such scenes. In spite of the pains the RusSians take to conceal their operations, that they may not be taken-cogni zance of by our army of diplomatists, it appears certain that they intend commencing a very active campaign as soon as the Danube shall be frozen. Already they have begun to put the formidable Ibrail in a state of defence, and as Varna cannot much longer hold out, if she-has not already fallen, they will establish themselves in Tartary Dobroudje, so as to be able to commence suddenly offensive operations, the effects of which are incalculable. We may use this expression, for the Emperor Nicholas, deceived in his first hopes, will never re turn the sword to the scabbard till he has dictated such a peace to the Grand Seigneur as will secure him every thing.

The Berlin State Gazette of the 13th lust. contains ... the fo:lowing copy of the Convention for the evacuation of the Morea by the Egyptian ftirces ARTICLES OF AGREEMENT. ALKXANDRIA, AUG. 6, 1828. Art. I. His Highness Mehemet Ali Pacha en gages to give. up all persons under his controul, made slaves after the battle of Navarin, which have been sent to Egypt, and will immediately place them at the disposal of Admiral Oxfrington. His Highness likewise promises that he will, in conjunction with the Consuls of different nations, use his utmost en deavours to induce such persons as have purchased any of the slaves to deliver them up. And Admiral Codrington, ott his part, engages to set at liberty all Egyptian soldiers taken prisoners;. and to give up the corvettes that have been captured in the waters of Modon by the Hussar: Art. 2. Mehemet Ali Pacha engages that the troops shall evacuate the MOrea as soon as possible, and that he w ill send the n ecessary ships toNitvarin to take the Egyptians onboard. i sigh Art. 3. The trans p orts shall be convoyed by English and French ships, which are to sail ocom pany with - them to Na varin or to som e other harbour. Art. 4.

Ibrahim Pacha is allowed to leave some men in the fortresses of Patras, Castel Tourese, Modon, Coron, and Navarin, to occupy these places. Done at Alexandria, in Egypt, in the above year and . month. • (The Seal of the Pacha.) ADDITIONAL ARTlCLE.—Mehemet Ali Pacha en gages that, on no account whatiyer, there shall re main more than 1,200 Egyptian troops, to occupy the fortresses mentioned above; and his Highness enga ges to send orders to that effect to Ibrachim Pacha. Marshal BERESFORD was admitted on Sunday to an audience of the Quien of PORTUGAL, when the noble Lord had the honour of kissing her AlJEszy's hand. What will Don Micurt, and the Court of Lisboa say to this? LONDON. TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 21, ISM The health of his MAJESTY, we are con cerned to say, is by no means in that flattering state which all classes of his loving subjects would wish. But we see no reason why there should always be so much insidious mystery observed, not to say barefaced falsehood resorted to, when ever his MAJESTY'S health is visited with any of those unpleasant interruptions which arc the common lot of mortality, and from which even Royalty is not exempt. If his MAJESTY has any trifling indisposition, where is the necessity of denying the fact after it has been bandied about and canvassed by the public as a matter of serious concern ? Would it not be the wiser way to tell the truth at once, and so. silence the malignity of silly, or the solicitude of loyal, subjects ? Again, if unhappily his MAJESTY'S illness is in any degree alarming, - ought. not his anxious people to be ►made acquainted with a calamity in which they are most Aeply in terested ? Silence, or absolute denial in such cases, only se►ves to convince men more strongly of their forebodings, till at length what was at first doubt, becomes realised into certainty, not so much from a knowledge or the correctness of the fact, as from a very natural propensity of humanity to think the worst. We can readily believe that there may be sundry reasons of State for not telling all the truth, but we are entirely at a loss to understand why it should be altoge ther denied, If a particular purpose be served, or a delicate point :got over by 'coneealtnent, it should at the same time be recollected that something is lost by secresy, involving principles of honour—official responsibility—and national concern. Publicity is the guardian of Libe►ty —the safeguard of our institutions. Concealment implies fear, if not guilt. We would not expose our condition to our foes, neither would we con ceal it from our friends. The propriety of that cause is always doubtful which seeks refuge in mystery. If his MAJESTY'S health be conva lescent, what could. give his people more joy than the official announcement of such a cheering event ?—and if it be otherwise, which GOD for bid ! still the fact, though melancholy, would set conjecture at rest, and so far relieve the public mind from being the prey of exaggerated reports. `We are aware that this is a delicate subject ; but public duty is always paramount to private delicacy, if that can be- called private which affects the nation at large. That his MAJESTY'S health has been lately in a precarious state is, we regret, unquestioned, and that the prospect of his speedy convalescence is not so flattering as the public had reason to expect, may be gathered from the following paragraph from an Ultra Morning Paper, whose policy would be rather to conceal than aggravate the fact:— „ " We had much pleasure last week instating that his Majesty had so far recovered from his late indis position as to be induced to undertake a short drive in his adjoining shrubberies. We regret that this premature exposure to the open air has , been fol lowed,: not so much by a . relapse of his disorder, as by a severe and alarming spasmodic attack. This happened on Thursday night last, although not a whisper respecting it . has found •its way into the newpapers. His Majesty, on the night to which we allude, was so seriously indisposed, that his physi cians had to be sent for by express during the night. In the morning he was relieved, and has been in a favourable state ever since." We have news from the Russian army before Varna to the Ist of October, at which period, if the accounts may be credited, they not only continued the siege, but maintained their posi tion before Shumla. The Turks had sent an army from Adrianople, and a division from Shuinla to raise the siege of Varna, and some sharp fighting took place in consequence— rather to the disadvantage of the Russians, who by their own confession lost several General and other officers on the occasion. If the Russians do not now take Varna at once they have little chance of success, for the Turks will so harass them from without and from within as to make their position extremely critical. The bulletin say that two mines are in such a state of prepara tion as to insure the destruction of the fort, when sprung. But we must refer our readers to the details, merely observing, that if the bulletins be correct, the previous accounts from the German Papers were false. The Allgemeine Zeitung of, the 14th inst. contains the following news respecting the war, which, if true, is highly unfavourable to the Russians. How can OMER VRIONE DACHA be at Widdin and Varna at the same time ? CZERNOWITZ, OCT. 1. Commercial houses here affirm that they have intelligence that the Grand Vizier has left Adrian ople, and is marching with part of the corps of Hus sein Paella towards Rudschuk, with the intention of proceeding along the Danube to Silistria. It also continues to be asserted that the Russians have left their position before Shumla, and" on this occasion abandoned part of their artillery, because most of the horses of the train had perished for want of forage. KRAJOVA, SEPT. 21. Accounts from Widdin of the 22d bring the dis agreeable intelligence that 12,000 fresh •troops had arrived there under the command of Omer Vrione, Pacha of Salonichi. It may be imagined what alarm this news has caused here and in Little Wallachia. BUCHAREST, SEPT. 24. It is reported here that Hussein Bey, after the late events before Silistria, had detached a corps of 12,000 men from Shumla, on the road to Rudschuk. It is therefore to be feared that fresh incur sions, and even offensive operations, will begin in Wallachia, and this causes great alarm. We know nothing certain respecting Varna. The rear of the Russian army is every where rendered unsafe by marauding Spahis. It seems that there has been such a mortality among the horses in the Russian army that, in case of a general retreat, the artillery and heavy baggage must be transported by sea. The accounts received to-day from Krajova give reason to fear that the movement upon . Rudschuk is made in concert with that prepared in Widdin, and forms part of the general plan of operations of the Turks. These circumstances show how important the pos session of Varna must be for the Russians for con cluding this memorable campaign. BUCHAREST, SEPT. 27. According to accounts just received from Little Wallachia, the Turks are again advancing from Wid din, by way of Kalefat. All the inhabitants are again flying from the neighbourhood of Krajova, be cause the corps of General Geismar is considered too weak to oppose them with success. ALIIXANDRIA, AUG. 14. The chief obstacle to the conclusion of the con vention betp i rt Codrington was the demend of 'the fortke l r Wir Egyptian troops should retain as garrisons in the fortresses of the Morsa. Their number was at length redUced to 1,200 men,. bull% is feared that underAppretext of supplying these troops with provisralk the Pacha will find Means tasupply these places in such a manner that they will be able to_liold out a blockade -however long. The restoring IBC the Greek slaves was a second difficulty, most of them being, already the property of private persons, and many .having even embraced Mahometanism. Hitherto only 180 men, employed in public works, have been restored. By the following, it would appear that there has been a shock of earthquake felt in Italy : TURIN, OCT. 11. About two o'clock in the morning of the 10th we had another shock of an earthquake, and a second half au hour afterwards. • They did not do the least damage, and were slighter than the shod( of the night before. The motion was undulatory, and as it seemed in a southern direction, we may suspect some vio lent convulsion of Vesuvius. The shock which we had here in the night of the Bth (or morning of the oth) was felt at Vercelli, Genoa, and other places:l A Correspondent asked us, the other day, upon what principle we were favourable to Ca tholic Emancipation ? We answer, upon the plain principle of justice, if not expediency. Do unto another as you would have him do unto you. But, if this be not enough—if our Correspondent would have argument on the subject, we feel much pleasure in referring him to the masterly address of that patriotic and enlightened Noble man, Lord NUGENT, to his constituents re specting the Brunswick Clubs, as fraught with all that honest men would consider sufficiently convincing in correcting their prejudices upon a question of national importance, if not national safety. To his Lordship's admirable reasoning we have nothing to add, but that it commands our sincere respect as .it must deserve the approbation of his liberal countrymen. — Let our Correspondent peruse it, and should he not be enlightened, we can only express our re gret more for his own sake than for the inefficacy of arguments as cogent as they are persuasive.— We trust his Lordship will •be on Penenden Heath on Friday, and give his generous aid to shame the bigotted fools assembled there. Letters and Papers, three days later, have been received this morning from Gibraltar, of the 2d inst. The fever still kept on the increase, and was spreading to other parts of the town which had been less subject to its ravages. On the 30th of Sept. 18 died, and 98 eases were ad mitted ; 525 remained On the Ist of Oct. 18 (lied, 95 admitted; 552 re mained ill. And on the 2d of Oct. 14 died, 106 were suffering under the disease, and 591 ill. This is the report taken froin the Papers, but private accounts state that the printed reports were not to be depended upon, -ind the ravages of the disorder were much increasing : the wind was S.S.W. on the 2d of October, but had been again to the eastward, and consequently un favourable. A letter mentions no hop►e was en tertained of any amelioration until the middle of next month. A ship of war and bomb vessel arrived off' Tangier on the 27th, from England, to demand satisfaction for the capture of two British mer chantmen, under the pretence of not having on board Mediterranean passes.

The report is that six regiments are going to Ire land, but the chief cause is said to be owing to the indisposition of his Majesty being unable to hold a Council. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat this morn ing in Lincoln's-Inn Hall, for the first time since August last. BLANEMORE V. GLAMORGANSHIP.F: CANAL COMPANY. Mr. KNIGHT was h.structed in this case to re quest his Lordship would allow him to read a letter from the clerk of 'the Company, requesting time to answer the affidavits upon which the injunction had been granted, before the Court filially disposed of the case. The application had been brought on at a period when Mr. Blakemore well knew that the persons who acted for the Company were engaged at the Quarter Sessions with going through their accounts, and at a time not regularly devoted to business. Mr. WAKEFIELD, on the part Of Mr. Blakemore, objected altogether to the application. His LORDSIIIP thought, if the parties could not agree, the only course to be adopted would be to make some special application. IN THE MATTER OF MARSH, STRACY, AND CO. BANKRUPTS. Mr. Sergeant BOSANQUET, WILDE, and ADAMS, attended in this petition, which was for a new trial. Upon its being called on, Mr. Sergeant Wilde pro ceeded to' address the Court in favour of the new trial. The case is an exceedingly heaVy one, - and appears likely to occupy the Court for several days. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. Nothing of the slightest interest occurred in this Court up to the time of our going to press. COUNT OF KING'S BENCH. LII4I;#IIAUGH V. DRSBOROUGH. Tiob was an action o❑ a policy of life insurance effected with the Agas Insurance Company by his Serene Highness the late Duke of Saxe Gotha, on the 16th of June, 184., for the-benefit of his pre decessor's creditors. • The Attorney-General and Messrs. Brougham, F. Pollock, and Broderick attended for the plaintiff, and SirJ. Scarlett and Messrs. Gurney, Chitty, and Graham were engaged for the defence. Mr. BROUGHAM stated the case to the Jury. This was an action he said to recover the sum of 3,2081. on a policy of five years extent. The late Duke's predecessor had contracted debts, to a large amount with the Government country bank at Altenbourgh, and - the late Duke, Frederick the Fourth, had, in or der to liquidate those debts, agreed to pay instal ments, and for that purpose effected an insurance for five years with the Union Insurance Office, for 3,2081. He afterwards wished to extend that policy to the amount of 12,0001., but the Union not being in the. habit of insuring.to so large an amount had recourse to the West of England and the Atlas Offices, and a joint insurance was effected between them arid the Duke. The latter died- in the first year of insurance, at the age of 4.9 years, and- the West of England and Union Offices had paid their share of the policy. From some reasons however which he could not account for, the Atlas refused to pay their share of the insurance. Perhaps their reasons might be, that upon the Duke's death and dissection a mal-conformation was discovered in his skull, which then appeared to have produced a tumour of the brain. That fact had before his death escaped the observance of both his own and the Company's medical advisers, and he should produce evidence which would prove most satisfactorily that no symptom of - drowsiness had ever been exhibited during his life. On the contrary, be had enjoyed the - most perfect health, and was a particularly , strong and robust man. His only defect was a hesi tation or impediment. in his speech, which was well known to the office at the time the policy was effected, and also well known by the physicians not to have proceeded from any disease likely to shorten life. He h a d a l ways b een p ar tial to the enjoyment of dinner parties, and from ten to twelve persons dined with him every day. It the defence was that he had fits, it would be proved that even during the cessation of his speech in his last illness, he had preserved the entire use of his mental faculties, - and was neither affected with apoplexy or epilepsy. He appeared very frequently in public, and every one was acquainted with his state of health. . When the weather did not permit of his riding or walking out, he always exercised himself by walking up and down his chamber. In the few - last years of his life he was attended by Dr. Doris and Dr. Zeigler, and their evidence, as taken before a commission, would be read by the Jury. The policy of insurance was then put in and read. The interrogatories taken by Commissioners ap pointed for the purpose, were then read. They con tained the evidence of his Highness's valet de chambre and the physicians. They agreed in stating that, during his life, the Duke had enjoyed the most perfect health, up to his death by catarrh, with the exception of the impediment in his speech. They recapitulated the state of his health during his whole life, which could not have induced any one to have believed that his brain was affected, although he generally had an aversion to exercise, throughout his life, which they attributed to his phlegmatic tem perament. These interrogatories were being . read When our reporter left, and, from their voluminous appearance they seemed likely to occupy the attention of the Court for several hours. Prince POLIGNAC, the French Ambassador ; Count de MoLTKE, the Danish Minister; the Chevalier de NEUMANN, Councillor of the Austrian Embassy, and the Secretary to the same Embassy, were presented to the young Queen of PORTUGAL yesterday by the Marquis tie BAREACENA.
