Our Correspondent, in a postscript to th.i above letter,
adds, that there has been a grand consultation of physi-1
dans on the state of the King's health. The celebrated,
Doctor Deem s, who was called in, was of opinion that his
Majesty might possibly still linger for some months,
- if powerful applications were used, such as scarifica-
tion, cupping, &c. Doctor At taLar expressed his doubt
if his Majesty's life could, under any medical aid, be pro-
tracted ')eyond a month. All the Physicians present con-
curred in pronouncing his Majesty to be in the most im-
minent danger.

The intelligence we this day publish from Path, through
'twig channels, will be found of deep interest. The pos-
ture of affairs in that kingdom clearly indicates the ap-
proach of some great change, which, perhaps, will not be
fully consummated till the King's death, but which, never-
theless, will not be much retarded by the protraction of his
life for a few days or weeks longer. Whether M. de Villele
will be able to retain office, is a fact respecting which it is
easier to speculate than to affirm with confidence. But if
he continue to preside over the ministry, he will be re-
quired to give effect to measures very different in character
from any to which he has hitherto dared to give counte-
nance. The design of restoring absolute monarchy, and
erasing the institutions of the Revolution, seems lately to'
have acquired life and consistency. All the late acts of
the French Government have tended to that object. The
Censorship, the creation of the Department of Ecclesiastical
Affairs and Public Instruction, and lastly the reorganization
of the Council of State, are bold and rapid steps towards
the overthrow of the charter and the subjugation of France
to the unlimited power of the court and the priesthood.

at a quar:er.past five o'clock.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, SEPTIMBCR 1, 1924.

The Duke of York left town yesterday morning for
Windsor, on a visit to the King for a few days.
Mr. Secretary Canning came to town yesterday morning
from the seat of Mr. Wilmot Horton, at Suilbrooke, and
wu busily engaged until about six o'clock, transacting
official business.
It is reported in the political circles, that the Embassy
to the Court of Naples is to devolve on the Marquis of
Hastings, as it was originally intended to be attached to
his Lordship's Government of Malta.
Letters received at Corfu, from Malta, mention the re-
ceipt of intelligence from Alexandria, that the Pacha of
Egypt bad determined not to lend any aid to the Grand
Seignior in the Peloponnesus, that lie had countermanded
the embarkation of the soldiers, and that he had cancelled
all the charters for transports into which he had previously
entered.
Accounts from Constantinople of the 26th July say—
" The plague which appeared at Cairo and Alexandria has
unfortunately reached this capital. This is much more
fatal than the great heats which existed there for fifteen
(lays. To-day a violent fire broke out in the Faubourg de
Pent. It still continues, and it is known how terrible these
accidents are in Turkish cities, where there exist no meanie
'of repressing, them."
A letter from Madrid, dated the lath of August, states,
that the 'proclamation of General O'Donnell had not pro-
duced the least effect in that city, because it was without
any date and gave no precise statement of facts. The last
kttera from Cadiz, received at Madrid, give the following
details:—The refugees who landed near Tarifa, had -as -
rmbled for the enterprise at Gibraltar and at Tangier, ou
the coast of Africa. The town and fort of Tarifa were
taken by 400 men, as much by mutual understanding be-
tween the parties, as by surprise. On the first intelligence,
General Latour Foissae, sent off 700 infantry and 100
cavalry, who arrived on the 7th before Tarifa, where the
Constitutionalists strewed a disposition to defend them-
selves. A fresh body of infantry was then sent from
Cadiz with two detachments of artillery, who had with
them eight 12-pounders and other military equipments.
Since the 6th this force has been before Tarifa. The news
of the capture of this place by the French has been cir-
culated at Cadiz, hut it is believed that the success was
dearly bought. On the 10th, a considerable number of
weunded Frenchmen arrived at Chiclana. Tarifa is but
slightly fortified, yet during the war of independence, the
English and Spaniards successfully resisted an assault of
the French, who left behind them their battering train.
The English made use of this artillery to construct a fort
on a small island at tha entrance of the port, which is
joined to the continent by a narrow causeway. This island
' is now capable of defence, and may be held as long as it is
supplied by sea with provisions and ammunition. It com-
mands the town, from which it can drive any force that mar
attempt to take possession of it. A French frigate and
schooner, which were sent on the 7th from Cadiz to
blockade the port of Tarifa, found it impossible to do so,
