DIKE OF ORLEA S.

We are enabled to' present our Tlea.'ers with the
particulars of the parting of the Duke.- of Orleans
with the ITOYaI Family in Sic;ly. The part Which
this Prince is called upon to act; in the. affairs of a.
'nation which has given such a glorious example to.
Europe ; his personal qualities ; theyventual rights
of the house of Sicily to the Throne.of Spain, and
Which the fidelity of tl•eSpanish nation ;could main-
tain unimpaired; the union Existing between ail the
members of the Royal Famiiyof Sicily,. and which
appeared s,) con,picuous in that circumstance, will,
we are confident, Make those'detads acceptable to
our readers.

His Highness the Duke of Orleans proceeded,
on the eed of May, to embark on board the frigate
La 14nanza, which the_Regency 'of Spada had
sent to bring him to that country. The Queen,
the Hereditary Prince,- Prince Leopold „the pochess
of Orleans, and Mademoiselle (the Duke of Orleans'
sister), had accompanied him on board, where the
whole of tha Royal Party supped. The grief of the
Dowager Duchess of -Orleans was such, on parting
with her now only son, 'that considering her bad
state of health, she was not suffered to go on board
the frigate, and it was necessary to carry her from
the King's Palace into her own. - •
At the moment when the Royal Family were
leaving the frigate, the Queen, turning to thebuke
of Orleans, told him, With that energetic look and,
impressive manner which are so peculiarly her, own.
Obey the call of glory ; you deserve it ;' you are
horn 'tor it ; save us, heal the wounds of Europe."
Then turning towards the Spaniards, she added,
ic We intru,t him to you, becau-e we are true Spa-
niards; know how to avail yourselves of Ins eminent
qualities."
The HereditarPrince, who in the whole of this
aflair has strewn the greatest anxiety for the accom--
plishment of the Duke of Orleans' honourable vies s,-
told' him, after an affectionate embrace, '(
akar Brother ; my 'best wishes attend you ; may
you haye all .the Sticcess which yod deserve,, and
• which I wish you ; but should you meet with any
,misfOrtune, you will always find a true brothei in
me."
His Majesty the. 'King of Sicily,• willi:'g to give'
his_son-in-law,a fresh proof of his attachment, was
pleased on that occasion, to grant the Cross of his
order of Constantine to Mr. De Brooat, a G ;tele-
man attached, to the Duke of OrleAns, and who had
been the beitie'r,of the Regency ofSpain's-ievitaa
tion to his Highness to Assume the tieumand of a
Spanish army.
The Regency were so anxious to have the Duke
of Orleans at the head of -a Spanish army, that be-
sides the letters they had addressed to his Ma-
jesty and 'to the Duke of Orleans, they had also:
written to the virtahlus DucheSs, his mother, to beg
of her to use her'influelice to'dete: mine her son to
accede to their wishes. Father Gill; Minister trotn
Spain to the Court o.ff. Palermo, had also been ap-
plied to ; he is one. o the most remarkable cha-
racters in Spain, acid ~vas formerly persecuted and.
imprisoned by Gecloy.

On Thursday evening last, as ft. TANNER, Esq.
of Sittingbourn, was taking 'a ride from thence to
Chalkwell, his horse being very restive, by some
means took fright, when one of the stirrup lea-,
thers giving way, he was. precipitated with great,
violence under the off horse of a post-chaise which
met him, and fractured his skull so that he sur-
vived the accident but an hour. The Coroner's
Inquest has since peen taken on the body, and a ver
dict returned of Accidental Death.
