We are happy to hear that the violence of his MA-
JESTY'S disorder has in a considerable degree sub.
sided, and that unless the paroxysms should recur,
hopes may be entertained of his recovery to personal

DUCHESS or BRUNSWICK.—The following answer
was this morning given to the numerous enquirers
after her Royal Highness's health :
" Her Royal Highness has had a better night, and
is better this morning."

An Anholt Mail arrived this morning, but the in-
telligence it brings does not enable us to speak with
certainty as to the measures to be expected frnm the
powers in the Baltic. The accounts from Turkey
still continue to be of an opposite nature. One day
we are told that negociations are on foot with Russia,
and the next that the armies of both nations are en-
gaged in active hostilities. The following are a few
extracts brought by the above Mail

HERMANSTADr, JUNIi s.
It is said that the Turkish garrison of 'Varna
consists of 20,000 men. All the cavalry is encamp-
ed before the gates of the town. We to not yet
know whether the numerous Turkish army which is
formed between Widdin and Nissa is destined to act
against the Servians, or undertake the siege of Ruth-
chuck. It is believed that the Captain Pasha, who
has sailed from the canal with a flee; one-third more'
[ strong than that of last year, will place himself at
the mouth of the Danube, to prevent the Russian
army from drawing provisions and forage from the
Crimea. •

PANSCOWA, JUNE 6.
The Commandant of the Servians, Mladen Maio-
watiowitsch, is returned to Belgrade, from the tour
which he made upon the frontiers. Czerni Georges
also arrived the day before yesterday in that place.
All the preparations are ready for the opening of the
campaign. In servia the troops are all ready to
march. Acdording to accounts from Turkey, fresh
troops arrive every day at the head-quarters at Schum-
la.—The Grand Vizier is there. It is said that he
caused five Pashas to be decapitated, who. refused to
furnish their contingents. He has sent, agreeably to
the orders of the Sultan, considerable detachments to
the neighbourhood of Nissa and Widden.

FROM DAGEN, JUNE 8.
A letter from Lieutenant Fatran, Commander of
the Order of Danneborg, reports his !aving captured
