an insurrection in Bulgaria is confirmed The in
s9rgents attacked the fortress Begradcieze on the
10Th, but were repulsed with some loss by the garr-
SON. On subsequent attack they appeared to have

to leave the Hungarian constitution for the present,
entirely IN suspense, and to regulate merely the
administration OF that country
Lord John Russells declaration that he was
convinced Lord Palmerston would not act as the

The sudden and violent death of Sir Robert Peel
ca used great sensation in England and France

upon the politics of his country. The particulars
Of his death are thus stated On Saturday evening.

Whitehall, up Constitution Hill, his horse suddenly
shed at something passing, kicked up his heels
and threw Sir Robert over his head on his face
Although rendered insensible by the fall, SIR Rob-
EFT retained hold of the rens and the animal being
thus checked, lost his footing and fell heavily upon
the top Of the baronet Several gentlemen passing,
rendered the necessary assistance, and the EXPIRE
mler was placed in carriage, and removed to his
house IN Whitehall in a state of insensibiity. All
the medical talent Of London was soon at his SER
vice. Their united efforts were unayailing. After
lingering till IL o'clock on Tuesday night the
great statesman expired, in the sixty-thrd year OF
his age.
In reply to an offer by Lord John Russell, in the
name OF her Majesty and Of the nation, Of public
funeral, the family declined the honor, inasmuch
as it vas Sir Roberts last wish that he sboud be
buried in DraytOn Abbey, with as little parade as
possible.

nounced by men of all shades of political opinion

irmng all that had been reported about the cruelty
to which he was subjected.
