The most interesting intelligence by her is tia,
Of TIE sudden death Of the Duke Of Ofeans, heir
apparen, 10 the throne Of France, caused by leap
ing from his carriage, the horses OF which were
running away. His sou, the Count dc Paris, is
but four years old, and tie age Of Louis Philippe,
who is in his sixty-ninth year, forbids the hope
that he can survive till his grandson attains his
majority Should he not, Regency must be ap-
pointed, and this may lead confusion, il not
archy. We annex the particulars Of the unlortu
nate event:
From Galisnanis Messenger.
The details OF the calamity as follows -
Yesterday (July l3) at l2 o'clock, the Duke of Or
leans was to leave Paris for St. Omer, where he
was to inspect several regiments intended for the
carps of operation on the Marine. His equipagcs
were ordered, and his attendants In readiness.
Every preparation was made at the Pavilion Mar
san for the journey, after which his Royal High
ness was to Join the Duchess Of Orleans at Piom-
bieres. At II the Prince got into carriage, in
tending to go to Neuily TO take leave of the King
and Queen and the royal family. This carriage
was a four wheeled cabriolet or caeche, drawn by
two horses la demi-D aumont-tha is, driven by
postillion. 1t was the conveyance usually taken
by the Prince when going short distances round
Paris. He was quite alone, not having suffered
one of his officers TO accompany him. On arriving
near the Porto Malot, the horse rode by the post
iliion took frigh and broke into gallop. The
carriage soon carried with great velocity up
the Chemn dc la Revoltc. Tie Prince seeing that
the postlion unable master the horses, put
his foo the step, which is very near the ground
and jumped down on the road, when about half
way along the road which direct from the
Porte Mail!ot. The Prince touched tie road with
staggered, and fell with his head on the pave
mcnt.
The effect of the fall was terrible for his Royal
Highncss remained seAseless on the spot. Per-
sons instantly ran to his assistance and carried
him into groccr's by the way side, short dis
tance of, opposite Lord Seymour's stables. In
the meantime the postillion succeeded IN getting
command over his horses, turned the carriage
round, and came to the door of the house where
the Prince was lying. His Royal Hishness never
again recovered his senses. He was placed in
room Oh. the ground floor, and surgical assistance
was sent for. DR.. Baumy, physician in the
neighborhood, was the first who came. He bed
the Royal sufferer, but this produced no good Ell
feet. Tho news of the accident was conveyed to
Neuiliy. The Queen Immediately set out on foot,
and the King followed her. His MAJ esty was to
be ut Paris at IL O'Clock to hold aCounc;lo of Min
listers, His carriages, which were ready, soon
overlook their Maiesties, who entered them, with
Madame Adelaide, and the Princess Clementnc.
They proceeded TO the house into which the Duke
of Orleans had been taken. He, by that time, was
nearly lifeless.
Under the influence Of powerful indictments,
the agony of the dying Prince was proionsed-
Life Withdrew but very slowly, and not without
ling powerfully agains, the utter destruction
of SO much useful strength. Fora moment rcsPlr-
alton became more tree, and the beating OF the
pulse was perceptible.
As the slightest hopes are graspcd at by hearts
torn with despair this OF dissolution was m
terrupted by u momentary calm, but the CLEANS
soon passed away. At four O'Clock the Prince
showed the unequivocal symptoms of departing
life, and IN another half hour he rendered his soul
to God, dying in the arms OF his King and father,
who az the last moment pressed his lips on the
forehead OF his lost child hal!owed by the tears of
his afflicted mother and the sobs and lamentations
of the whole of his family. The Prince beng dead,
the King drew the Queen into adjoining room,
threw themselves ut her feet, and endeavored to
offer her consolation. Her Majesty exclaimed,
What dreadful misfortune has fallen upon out
family but how much greater it is to France J"
Her voice was then stopped by her sobs and tears
The King seeing Marshal Gerard absorbed in grief
took his hand, pressed it with expression show
ing his sense of his bereavement, but at the same
time firmncss and magnanmity truly royal

showed the good effects of his popular education.
There was CAV, chvalrous character in the de-
mcanor of the Prince which at once gained the
hearts of all who had ,he happiness OF becoming
acquainted with him; and when the respect due
to his rank and station was not violated, ne wore
friendly and even familiar department, which put
even those who were strangers to him at once upon
