the partial inconvenience counterbalanced the general
utility, an,d if not, let the interests of the major part
have at least as much, if not more respect, paid to them
than the minority would require. Public bodies, or
representatives acting for them, can have no sound
reason for withholding their conduct from public ob-
servation. If they act or legislate for the good of the
public, it must be gratifying to hear the applause of
their constituents ; and if the result of their labours
militates against the national interests, the argument is
still stronger for the publication of acts which they are
either afraid or ashamed to avow. An honestinan has
nothing to fear—a dishonest every thing. The welfare
of all engrosses, or ought to engross, the general so-
licitude :

BERLIN, DEC. 19.
SIXTH BULLETIN OF HIS MAJESTY'S HEALTH, DEC. 18,

SEVEN P.M.

" Laat night the King had intervals of sleep. Nothing
particular has passed during the day. His Majesty has
had no fever in the evening. The foot does not show any
symptom to cause uneasiness.."
Accounts from Moscow of the 15th say, that the Mos-
kowa was covered with ice, which was so thick that car-
riages could pass over it without danger; but the weather
having become milder, heavy rains succeeded, the ice
broke up, and a great number of accide.nts occurred.

SWITZERLAND, DEC. 19.

The Court of Turin having made an application,
requesting that the Representative Council of Ge-
neva would abolish the French law relative to mar-
riage in the villages formerly belonging to Savoy, which
have been ceded to that Canton, and recognise only such
marriages as lawful as are performed with tke Ministers of
Religion, the law in question was abolished in January,
1821, in those villages, and the Council of State was at
the 'same time commissioned to make a report in the sitting
of December, 1826, on this new state of things, and also
on the possibility for which it might have prepared the
way of extending to the rest of the Canton the obligation
of the religious eolemnisation of marriages. The Council
of State was of opinion that this extension could not be
prepared withuot danger to the rights of sovereignty and
the guarantee of the civil code; and, therefore, proposed
to defer the discussion of this question for three years more.
On the 1 I th, an interesting question came before the
Representative Council of Geneva. M. Odier wished the
Council to declare whether the whole detail of its sittings
should be printed and published, and if so, that measures
should he taken that it might be done as completely and
faithfully as possible. M. Odier noticed the inconve-
niences that would result from it. Where the state is
governed like a family, it was foolish to ape the Represen-
tative Assemblies of great nations, and it was not neces-
sary to publish eveey thing that was said and done in the
Councils. M. Odier was warmly opposed, and he con-
sented to withdraw this motion for the present.
On the 15th, at half-past eight in the morning, a shock
of an earthquake was felt in several parts of the city of
Zurich, and also in Shaffhausen, which made the clocks
and windows shake, and made the pannels of the wainscot
crack. It was a few minutes before nine, the same even-
ing, the shock was felt at Augsburg.

The New Times publishes the following as au ex-
tract of a private letter from Paris, received yesterday :

" Paats, Dec. 26.—You are doubtless aware, that M. Sal-
mon, the Minister for Foreign Affairs at Madrid, has declared to
Mr. Lamb, that his Most Catholic Majesty is resolved to renew
his ancient relations with the Portuguese Government. M. Sal-
mon has consequently intimated his readiness to receive any diplo •
triadic agent whom the Princess Regent may appoint, and he has
ordered the Marquis de Casa Flores to resume his former official
L - , uns proceeoing
maim ut receiveu, cm the part of the Infants, with corresponding
sentiments. M; Salmon has given the most decisive assurances
to Mr. Lamb, tliat henceforth the conduct of the Spanish Govern-
ment will be in stria' accordance witb its professions, and he has
communicated, in detail, all the measures which it is intended to
adopt along the frontiers, to prevent the possibility of fresh abuses.
" Mr. Lamb speaks with great applause of the sincere and
energetic co-operation which he constantly received from the
Ministers of Russia and Austria in his negociatione.
" The most enlightened among the diplomatic body at Madrid,
however, have still their misgivings upon this question. They
are persuaded that Ferdinand only seeks to gain time, end to evade
for the moment comitig to a quarrel with England. They argue
that he will keep his word if the insurgents are promptly put
down, because he will then have no motive to act otherwise ; but,
should the struggle be prolonged, Ferdinand will follow his own
course, even at the price of making fresh submissions when they
become necessary.
" It is considered by the same class of politicians at Madrid,
that the best measure which could he adopted under existing cir-
cumstances, would be, to recal Don Miguel directly to Portugal,
instead of his proceeding to Rio Janeiro, as is wished by Don
Pedro, in order, that being at Lisbon, he might rally his party
around him, and, by his influence over them, tranquillise the
country. It is even asserted, that England concurs in this idea."

We are still without any direct advises from Por-
tugal. The unusual length of time which has elapsed
since the receipt of the last despatches adds greatly to
the intense interest which is felt for the contents of
those expected. We scarcely ever recollect a stronger
anxiety to have been manifested for intelligence than
on the present occasion, nor a more tedious delay than,
from the state of the wind, we have been doomed to
suffer. 'We she!) keep the press standing to as late
an hour in the afternoon as possible, in the hope that
despatches may reach town before we must strike off
our Country Edition.

The Morning Post of this day, published the
following statement of the Health of the Duke of
YORK, which was calculated in some degree to allay
the apprehensions entertained for his Royal Highness:—
" The King again visited his Royal Highness yesterday ; and
such was his Majesty's amiable fraternal solicitude, that he pur-
posed remaining in town in the event of no favourable change
taking place in the state of his beloved Brother. Happily, how-
ever, the King found his Royal Highness iu so tranquil and im-
proved a state, that after remitting two hours, be departed on his
return, to Windsor, in the full persuasion that his attendance was
unnecessary; but witll the expression of his determination to re-
visit his Royal Brother, at all events, in two or three days.
" The late reports respecting the afflicted Illustrious Personage
have greatly exaggerated his actual state. We do not mean to
disguise the painful fact, that within the last few days his Royal
Highness has suffered in a considerable degree from exhaustion ;
but all the statements so eagerly circulated of copious tapping and
fatal mortification, we have the happiness to say, are utterly void
of foundation. His Royal Highness slept soundly for eight hours
on Thursday night ; and was in consequence so much refreshed
yesterday, as to afford rational ground of hope that he has still
sufficient strength of constitution to bear him through his present
malady, and
to gratify the fond wish so universally entertained
for the safety of an Illustrious Personage, whose merits are so
justly esteemed, 'and whose life 1580 truly invaluable to the State."
Unhappily, however, we learn to-day, that the hopes
thus held out are not likely to be realized. His
R YA L lllclliaEss passed a very restless night, suf-
fering. severely from the state of his limbs ; and his
condition to-day has in consequence become more
hopeless.
We lament to add that we understand the state of
the Illustrious Patient is considered so alarming, that
a communication has been made to Foreign Courts of
his dangerous situation.
_ .

On enquiries at the Duke of ItuTLAND's, at two

o'clock, the answer was, that His Royal Highness the
Duke of YORK was "no better.."

Their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of CLA HENCE
and SUSSEX had been with their Royal Brother during
the morning, and had left at two o'clock. The Duke
of SUSSEX seemed visibly affected.
