We copy from the Lisbon Gazgfie the follow-
ing account of .an extraordinary murder which-
took place at Porto.. The
.perpetrators of this
horrid crime have not yet been discovered

PORTO, 31 ARCH I 7•

This city has been the theatre of an extraordinary_ and_hor-
rible crime, the authors of which are not yet discovered.' On
Sattirday the 12th at eight in the .eyening,_ Imre], -was. observ,
ed in a remote street, without any person near it, from which a
fetid smell proceeded. The Police being infOrmed of this im-
mediately went to the spot and opened the barrel, in which they
found the body of a man in a complete state of dissolution in
his clothes, and covered with salt. It was Wholly impossible
to recognize the-features, and even the clothes-wee so affected
by thetalt .and.the dissolution of the body, that their original
colour could not be ascertained. There was a handkerchief in
his coat''pocket, and in a purse two hundred piece's of silver
coin, with the initials S. and F. The body was publicly shewn
on the morning of Sunday the 13th. The horror and indigna-
tiorfwhich:animated the immense crowd that flocked. to'see this
shocking sight, may be'conceived bnt cannot be described—t
After the necessary depositions had been taken, and the body
examined by the surgeons; it was buried in the church-yard of
St Ildefbnso.

It was discovered the saine'rriorning: that the barrel in ques-
. tion'ha:d been brought from a Magazine at no great distance
from the spot where it was-found, as appeared by the declaration
of one of porters, who was hired to carry it, and the deposi-
.tion of another who accompanied it.
1- :It appears froth' the declaration of the Surgeons, that the skull
•was fractured, thehead severed from the body by a sharp in..
strument, and both the thigh-bones broken in the middle.
Senor Jose Antonio de Aranjo e Silva' merchant, in the street
dos Lavadotiros;' in this city of Oporto, Antonio di Sousa Gui--
maraes, his clerk, and Antonio Linhares, his Porter, all of whom
absconded on' the 13th, as soon as the examinations were
commented, and, notwithstanding every inquiry, have not since
been heard of, are summoned to appear in order to be legally
interrogated, and all persons are warned against harbouring or
assisting them in leaving the' kingdom either by sea or land ;
they are on the contrary to prevent their escape, and to give
information to the Justice if they know where they are con.

MILAN, MARCH 24.

Great preparations are making here for the reception of their
Imperial Majesties : their presence will attract a great number
Of strangers. Several hotels have already been hired at high
prices. -.lt is believed that in the month of May all the Sove-
reigns, eicept the Pope, will meet here. At that time there
Will be a camp in the neighbourhood, in which the greater part
of the Austrian troops in Italy will be assemblrd.- In the month
.of June their Imperial Majesties will go to Florence, but we
hear nothing of their going to Rome.
BRUSSELS, APRIL 5.
Since the health of our august Monarch 'has been impaired,
reports of all kinds have been spread. both here and at Paris.
We alone. stated that he was. merely incommoded by the effects
of a wound whfcli he received in the field. The Journal of
Brit:set:4 Which had hitherto been silent, confirms what we said
as follows _ •

." The King's health never gave any ground for alarm, and
though-a sore place in.: the leg, occasioned by an old wound,
and fatigue, has obliged his Majesty, by way of precaution,
to suspend for a period his usual promenades and weekly
audiences, .he has been always in good health, and able to
attend without interruption to important labours in which he
is engaged; by his solicitude for the welfare of his kingdom."
The marriage or Prince Frederick with the Princess Louisa
of Prussia stemicto be positively fixed for the end of May.

.I,Vi!' have received Barbadoel Papers to the
10th of. February. His'Alajesty's ship Herald arrived at the
island on the 28th January, having on board the Right Rev.
W. H. Co LEItIDGE, anti the Right Rev. H. LIPSCOMB,
_the
new Bishops of Barbadoes and Jamaica. They were received
on their landing with appropriate honours, and the Bishop of
Barbadoes was waited on at his residence by the clergy of the
island with a congratulatory address on his landing; after
which his Lordship wasisworn in as a member of the Council
of the island. The Bishop subsequently visited the schools at
Bridgetown, with the state of which he professed himself satis-
,fiedi and was about to proceed on a tour through the different
parishes to visit the Episcopal establishments. The Bishop of
Jamaica, with his suite, had sailed for that island on board his
Majesty's ship Herald. The Lady Pelham packet, from Eng-
land, had arrived at Barbadoes,* and had brought out a confir-
rnation'of the sentence of M. D'Egville, who had been found
guilty of the murder of his wife by poison; but the legality of
which sentence had been referred to the Crown Lawyers of
England, whohad decided that his trial, and of course sentence
of death for the crime of which he had been found guilty, were
perfectly legal. He wait, 'in consequence, ordered for execu-
tion on the 14th February.

It appears by accounts from Frankfort, that
the purchasers of national domains in the ancient
kingdom of Wesphalia; who were dispossessed of
their property by ;the Elector of Hesse Cassel,
on his return to his dominions, and who has re-
jected " their claims for an indemnity, are
likelY to have justice rendered to them through
the interposition of the King of PaosstA.

The celebrated GOETHE has presented an ad-
dress to th'e,German: Diet for .a licence to print
his works, so that. he may have a guarantee
against pirated editions. It does not appear how
the Diet will he .able to hinder the practice of
literary piracy, which is so common in Germany.
Mr. Secretary CANNING, we regret to say, is
confined at Gloucester Lodge with a slight attack of the gout,
which has prevented the Right Hon. Gentleman from leaving
'town as he intended.

• FORGED, INE` S FROM I. NDIA .—A correspondent
enables us to strengthen' a.useful caution we have before given
to The public, by a letter, of which the fellowing in an ex.
tract:—*' A few days ago,---you very properly reprobated the
practice of spreading false, intelligence from India. I have
strong reasons for thinking that a shameful and dishonest trick
of the kind took place at .Deal, by putting a letter from a pre-
tended correspondent in Bengal, to a confederate in London,
into the Ship Letter-office at that place, which preceded the
ship's arrival, and was duly circulated as a secret in London.
It answered the purpose of cheating and alarming a few. I
am almost certain that an 614 envelope of a letter (similar to
the inclosed) in the hand-writing of a house of agency, was
surreptitiously obtained, andrl dishonourably applied to the
purpose of giving- cover to -:a supposed original letter from
India."—( The Times.)
A DUEL. was fouilit 'yesterday morning on
Wimbledon. Common, between a Mr. F—r—n and Lieutenant
C—l—y,, which originated in a dispute respecting Mrs. A. the
courtezan. Two shots each were exchanged, and no mischief
was done. The friends of eachinterfered and further animosity
ceased.
