PRINCE HOMENLOHE.

Ws copy the following corampoadience from the CWk
anti le of Wednesday :
(sem) 4, ;Jassy Nev saber tf,1413.
" Sra—Being a British subject resident in this city
for many years, I respectfully beg leave to approa.
poor Highness as an ;Acted father, humbly to request
your pions prayers and intpieession to ALP4IOIITY GOD,
for recovery of the health and lost intellects of my
daughter, Helen Horton, a married woman, having
three young children, and of the Roman Catholic re-
ligion, as also are her parents and husband. Prior to
her present illness she was always of a pious, prudent
disposition, attentive to the dmies of her religion, and
free of any bodily complaint, until about twelve months
ago, from a state of perfect good health. all of a sud-
den she was seized with a loss of intellect, attended
with hysteric fits, which continued at intervals daily for
the course of a month; after which time her complaint
fixed in a stupii melancholy, with the total loss of
speech, in which state she still continues, insensible to
the attentions of her family and friends.

" My family having full confidence in the efficacy of
'.your charitable prayers, humbly reiterate my request to
your Highness, begging your intercession to ALMIGHTY
Gorr for the recovery of her health and senses, by which,
through the mercy of Goo, we hope she may be re.'
stored to her pristine health, and which will add to the
many blessings all eady conferred by your Highness in
England and Ireland for the like charitable purpose.
" I have the honour to remain, with great respect, Sir, .
" Your Highness's most humble and obedient servant,
44 His Highneu Prince Hohenluhe." " JOHN CUSSEN.
(TRANSLATION.)
gg The 28th of the month of Mal, at nine o'clock, I
will, conformably to your request, say prayers for your
cure. Join in them at the same hour, alter having con-
fessed and taken the sacrament with that evangelical
fervour, and that full trust which we owe to JESUS
CHRIST our Redeemer. Excite in the bottom of ) our
heart the divine virtues of a true repentance, of a Chris.
tian love, of a belief without bounds that you will be
heard, and an unshaken resolution to lead an exemplary
life, in order to keep yourself in a state of grace. Re-
ceive the assurance of my consideration.
" Vienna, April 4. 1824. " Prince A. 110IIENLOITE.
" Fur Helen Horton."

" Lisbon, July 8, 1824.
"MY DEAR BROTHER—I have now, thanks to AL-
MIGHTY GOD, the great pleasure and satisfaction to in-
form you, that my daughter, Helen, is perfectly_ re-
covered, and at present quite well in her health, speech,
and senses; the benevolent providence of ALMIGHTY
GOD bar., in her melancholy case, given a great e3:-
ample of his all-powerful mercy, to the sincere wishes
of her aglicted patents and friends, through the inter-
cession and prayers of his Highness Prince Hohenlohe:
her perfect recovery is now the greatest surprise to all
those that witnessed the different melancholy severe
stages of her illness, which continued for eighteen
months; and during ail that time she was quite speech-
less, and in the commencement of her illness she was
lock jawed for nearly a month, and in the latter months
was daily seated in a chair like a statue, fed regularly
by a servant-maid, like a young child, in consequence
of her debility.
" Seeing not the least appearance of amendment, or
her becoming better, and observing in the Irish papers
you sent me, the cure of some people in your country
in similar cases, through the pious Prayers and inter-
. cession of Prince Hohenlohe, I consulted with the Pre-
sident of the English College as to my writing to his
lilahness, stating the source and present state of het
melancholy illness, of which he approved, from know..
ing her situation. Herein I send you a copy of my said
letter, dated the 27th of last November, and also of his
Highness's answer, dated the 4th of Apt il. My letter
was forwarded to him at Vienna, enclosed to the Por-
tuguese Minister hence to that Court, and the answer
came here through the same channel, about the mid-
dle of May ; it was printed, but was signed personally
by the Pt ince.
"On the 28th of May, the day appointed by the
Prince for offering his prayers, a solemn mass was ce-
lebrated at the English College by the President, at
which Mrs. Horton's family and ours assisted, and
united in prayer for the intended purpose. Mrs. Hor-
ton did not attend, being then incapable of paying any
regard to the ceremony; and it was deemed by the
President better that she should not be disturbed, or her
agitation increased. However, from that day forward
she was daily becoming better, and, in the course of a
few days, was so well recovered in her speech and ia-
tellect, that neither her family nor her friends could
trace or observe the least mark of her long and melan-
choly complaint. It is observed, that she is at present
mote cheerful and conversable than ever, as also more
regular in every attention to her domestic affairs, fa-
mily, and children. She has little or no idea of the
state of her illness, nor is it thought proper to inform
her of what was its dangerous nature. Confident that
you and your family will be much pleased at this infor-
mation, I remain your affectionate brother,
"JOHN CUSSRN."
