THE LATE AFFAIR AT CINcINNArI-The Gin
cinnlti papers state that NJ DE Marbais and his
wife are both likely TO recover from the wounds
selfinhicted during their temporary madness
The Gazette states that, previous to the denoue-
ment last week, he had been taking large Guanti-
ties Of opium, as well as drinking to excess, and
was doubtless labOring under high mental excite
ment and general nervous debility; which will
satisfactorily account for things especially
his letters) which would otherwise have appeared
inexPlicable- The romance Of the affair is pretty
much all spoiled by the statement which his wife
now makes that she thought his talk about shoot
Ing was all buster, and had no idea ne intended
10 execute bis threats; otherwise she would have
been very careful not to have given him the oppor-
tunity- He is now in state of delirium trernens
ana not insanity. as was stated day or two ago;
being the effects of opium, morphine, and liquor.
and not the ball, which only lodged against the
skull instead Of penetrating it,;
