From the same intelligent correspondent
10 whom we have repeatedly been in

the death Of the Queen ofSpain, (of tran

being absolutely necessary TO extract the
toetus, she expired in commissions twenty
minutes after that operation was perform.
ed. A pretty general rumour is in cir
culation that she was poison ed but why
she should have been the victim of secret
resentment, is not stated and as the King
has certainly removed 10 the Escurial since
the demise of bis Consort, it has been
whispered in no very low tone, that the
germs of revolt have become so apparent
as to render some preparation Tor his
safety a matter Of necessary precaution.

AyEcpors OF MARSHAL ruRRESs,

ANECHO1E OF MAKSHAL
1t was well known of this hero that his
true heroism (for such it really was) was
only 10 be equalled by his solid and manly
piety,-equally remote, on the one hand,
from the superstitions of his own age, and
upon the other, the indifference of ours. In
a court Of galantry, and in times when the
point OF honor falsely so calledl was pre-
served in its full extravaganza, the marshal
was never known either to fight duel or
to be engaged in an intrigue. The grace,
the dignity, with which he once released
himself from an embarrassment OF this na-
ture, will at once give an exalted idea OF
what he was; and be sufficient answer 10
the fayoriie question of the defenders OF
duel.ing-' how is it to be refused p Let
the anecdote of Turr.le answer them.
A yong officer, of noble family, and, with
the exception of The following instance in
his conduct, Of real worth, imagined he
had received an insult from the Marshal,
and demanded satisfaction in the usual
forms.-The Marshal made no reply TO his
challenge the officer repeated it several
times-but the Marshal still maintained the
same silence. Irrilated at this apparent
contempt, the officer resolved to compel
him to the acceptance Of his invitation =
for this purpose be watched him upon his
walks, and at length met him in the pub
lie street, accompanied by two other gene
raj officers he hurried towards him, and
10 the establishment and even terror Of all
who saw him, spat in the Marshal's face.
Let US endeavor 10 form some conception of
the grossaess Of the insult. The object Of
it was the great Turrene, marshal Of
France, and one of the greatest generals
that Europe has produced. The compa-
nions ofthe Marshal started back in amaze
ment The Marshal, bis countenauce glow
ing with sense of indignity, seized the
hilt of his sword, aud had already'half un-
sheathed it,--when, to the establishment OF
the spectators, he suddenly returned il to
the scabbard, and taking his handkerchief
from his pocket, young man," said he,
could wipe your blood from my consci-
ence witt. as much ease as can your spit
tie from my face, | would take your life on
the spot-gO, SIR" Saying this, the Mar
shall retired in all the majesty oil triumphant
virtue. The young officer was 50 much
struck, as well with his manner as with his
virtue that he did not cease till he had OBJ
tanned pardon Of the Marshal. Turrene at
terwaftis became his patrun, and under such
a predecessor he beesne almost the rival
Of his tame.
