DEATH OF BLUCHER.

!ITALIA, SLITIUTIER 18.
On the 14th, in the evening, the uews which we had for
some time dreaded arrived here, that Field-Mamba' Prince
Blucher, of Walelstadt, terminated his glorious life on the
12th of this month, at 10 miuutes past 10 o'clock in the
evening, at his seat of Kribluwitz, in Silesia. His Majesty
the King received this sail news by a report frum the Aida-
ele-Casnp of she Prince, Colonel Count Von Nustitz, and
also by a verbal cominnuication from Captain Von Ruelust',
the second Aide•de-Gap. His Majesty immediately gave
orders that the army should wit on moarninx for eight days,
and dispatched Count Blucher, of Wahlstath, the Prince's
grandson, with a most gracious letter of eqadolence to the
Dowager Priucess.
Our rendera will be glad to hear some account of the last
days of the Prince's lite. On the 514 his Majesty sent front
Breslow his Aide-de-Camp, Msjor.General Vuu Witzlehrti,
him. The Prince was very weak, bat in full possession sit'
his weevil faculties. He desired General Witalebeu to Omsk
his Majesty for all the favours be had conferred on him, to
recousoieud his wife to his Majesty's kitulness, and il) beg that
he might be buried without ostentation in the open country,
in a field on the mad between Kribbewitz and Kunst, on
a spelt which he described, under three lime trees. On the
observation of the General that he need nett think his deaths
so near, as the physiciaus by no mean* considered his case as
desperate, be said," 1 know that 1 shall die. fur 1 feel it
twtter than the physicians can jteillte of my situation. 1 die
without reluctance, fur I am wee of no further use. Tell
the King that 1 have lived and shall die faithful to bim."
He gave the Gcueral his hand to lake leave. The next
day his Majesty, accompauied by Prince Chinks, paid him
a visit ; at first lee was iu a kiwi of lethargy, ,and did
not notice what was passing, but afterwards he knew the
King. His Majesty, smut= other expressions of regard,
said to him," You tray be assured that mu one takes more
neterest ill your welfare than 1 do. I know what the country
awl myself owe to you—du nut give up the hope of recovery;
follow the advice of your physiciams and take the rerneeltes
that are offered you.{'—{The Prince had latterly omitted in
do this.}—He thanked his Majesty, and recumnseuded the
Prisms to him.
