The Spanish Charge d'Affaires died suddenly at
our Court the lit of this month. His physician
iii Spain had ordered him • receipt for a dirn•cler
under which lie had suffered for a lung time. Thus
receipt having operated more powerfisl:y and
quickly at Madrid than at Berlin, he attributed the
cause to the heat of the climate of Spain, and
thought he could remove it by taking a stronger
rinse. This imprudence cost hint his life. 11111 it eras
this that gave rise to the report of his having poi.
'toned himself.

We are assured that the Hanoverian Mi,iister st
Berlin has concluded • convention with
for the passage of the troops of that power through
the Duchy of Brunswick, conforin:bly to the tren.
ties of Paris and Vienna.
