DElTE OF TIE DUKE OF ORLEANS.
| The details of the calamity follows -
Yesterday DULY l3) at ~ clock, the Duke of Or
leans to leave Faris for St. Omer, where he
was to inspect several regiments intended for the
| corps of operation on the Marine HIS equipages
| were ordered, and his attendants in readiness.-
| Every preparation made at the Pavilion Mar
son for the journey, after which his royal highness
was to join the Duchess of Orleans at PlOmbleres
At j the Prince got into a carriage, intending to
go to Neuly to take leave Of the King and Queen
| and the royal family. This carriage four
wheeled cabrolct, caleche, drawn by two horses
a la dem Daumcn-t!!::Git is driven by position.
1t was the conveyance usually taken by the Prince
when going short distances round Paris He was
quite alone, not having suffered OF his officers
to accompany him. On arriving near the Porte
Malllot, the horse rode by the postlon took fright,
and broke INTO gallQp: The carriage was soon
taken with great. velocity up the Chemln de la Re-
vote. The Prince, seeing that the poson was
unable to master the horses, put his foot on the
step, which is very near the ground, and jumped
down the road, when about half way along the
road which runs direct from the Porte Nlalllot. The
Prince touched the road with both feet, but the I'M
pulse great that he staggered, and tell with
his head on the pavement.
The effect Of the fall was terrible, for his Royal
EIighness remained scnselcss the spot. Persons
instantly to his assistance and carried HIM INTO
a grocer's by the way side, short distance OIL
opposite Lord Seymour s stables. In the meantime
the position 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 IIighness never recovered his Senses
He was placed on a bed in a room on the ground
floor and surgical assistance was sent for. DIR.
Baumy a physician in the neghborhood, was the
first who came. He bled the royal sufferer, but
IL. l.. Eb,, of Tho
accident was conveyed to Neuliiy. The Queen
Immediately set out on foot and the King follow
ed her. His Majesty was to be at Paris at II
o'clock to hold a council Of ministers. His car
riages which were ready soon overlook their
Maiesties, who entered them, with Madame Adel-
aide, and the Princess Clementlne They procee-
ded to the house into which the Duke of Orleans
had been taken. He, by that time, was nearly
lfelcss.
1t may be easy to imagine, but it will be impossl-
bic for any one describe the grief of their Macs
ties and Royal llighnesses at the spectacle they be-
held. Dr. Pasquier, Jr., the Prince Royals first
surgeon, had just arrived. Soon afterwards the
Dukesd humale and Montpensier came from Cour-
beyoie and Vincennes. DIR. Pasquier was very
soon compelled to annouce that the was OF the
most serious nature, for every symptom showed
that there was et1uslOn on the brain, and every
minute the evil seemed to increase. A few words
pronounced by the Prince in the German language
gave a momenary hope, but this was as quickly
vanished At two O. clock as the case became more
desperate, the King sent for the Duchess de Ne
mours, who had renamed at Neullly. She came
attended by her ladies' in waiting.
No pen can paint the affecting presented
by the chamber, when the Duchess de Nemours
came, and added her bitter tears to those OF the
rest of the family. The Queen and the princess
were speechless, and sobbed almost to sufocatlon.
The King stood by silent and motlonless, watching
with painful anxiety every fluctuatlOn In the coun-
tenance of his expiring heir. Outside the house
the crowd continued every minute to increase, eve
ry one was overwhelmed with CONSERVATION. The
cure of Neuilv and his clergy Immediately obeyed
the Kings summons, and came to Sablonville.-
Under the influence of powerful medicines the ago.
ny of the dying Prince was prolonged Lie with
drew, but very slowly, and not without struggling
powerfully against the utter destruction OF so much
youthful strength. For moment respiration be-
came more free, and the beating of the pulse was
perceptiblc.
AS the slightest hopes are grasped at by hearts
torn with despair, this scene of desoation was in
terrupted by a momentary calm, but the CLEANS
soon passed away. AT 4 o'clock the Prince showed
the universal! symptoms OF departing life, and in
other half hour he rendered his soul to God, dying
in the arms of his King and father, who at the last
moment pressed his lips on the forehead of his lost
child, haowed by the tears of his afflicted mother,
and the sobs and lamentations of the whole of his
family The Prince being dead, the King drew the
Queen into an adjoining room, where the Ministers
and Marshas assembled, threw themselves at her
feet, and endeavored to offer her consolation. Her
Majesty exclaimed, g What dreadful misfortune
has fallen upon our family, but how much greater
it is to France!' Her voice was then stopped by
her tears and sobs. The King, seeing Marshal
Gerard absorbed in grief took his hand, pressed
with an expression showing his sense off bereave
ment, but, at the same time, tirmness and mag
nanlmity truly royal.
The mortal remains of the Prince were placed on
a litter covered with white sheet The Queen
refused get into the carriage, declaring her
luton to follow the corpse of her to the chapel
at Neuly, where she wished it to be carried
Consequently, company of the 18th Light lntan-
try was hastily marched down from Courbevoie to
line the procession on each side, and thus those
brave men who had shared with the Prince Royal
in all the dangers of the passage of the Iron Gates
and the heg ho OF Mouzain, III Africa, served as the
escort of his now liteless body. Several of the
men wept and called back to their minds the bril-
liant valor with which the Duke OF Orleans had as
sailed the enemy, and, at the same time the mild
and delicate beneicence with which he had ever
tempered the necessary ngor of command. At
o clock the mourntul procession moved towards the
chapel at Neuillv. General Athalin walked at the
head of the bcir, which carried by four non
commissioned officers. Behind followed the King,
Queen, Princess Adelaide, Duchess de Nemours,
Princess Clcmentine Duke d. Aumale, and Duke
de Mon,pcnser Then came Marshals Soult and
Gerard. the Ministers, the General Officers, the
household Of the King and Princess, and an inn
mensc number of persons
The sad and solemn procession moved along the
Avenue de Sablonvllle and crossing the old Neull-
y road entered the royal park, and traversed its
whole length to the chapel. Here their Majesties,
and Princes and Processes, after prostrating them
selves before the altar, left their beloved child and
brother under the guardianship of Sod. In the
nng the Royal family remained in seclusion, except
/ that the King conferred with his ministers
