FREYCH PAPERS.  PARIS, MAY 6.—At the last court held by the King, all the Princesses, including the Duchess of Berry, were present. When the Duke Cases presented himself in his turn pay his duty to his Ma. jesty, the Duchess of Berry, on hearing his name announced by the gentleman in waiting, uttered a shriek of horror. Monsieur, who was by her side, astonished and alarmed at her conduct, begged her to tranquilize her spirits and control her temper.— In spite of his remonstrances, she continued to show strong symptoms of mental agitation, and began to appear seriously indisposed. All the family surrounded her to hide her situation from the King. who would have been highly offended at her beha. viour. All they could say or do was useless: she expressed a wish to leave the room, and Monsieur took her by the.arm and led her ont. The Duchess then exclaimed—" You may do what you like, my dear father; but J must tell you, nothing on earth can oblige me to be in the same room with the murderer of my husband." She shut herself up foe the rest of the day in her own mom • and though previously invited to dine with the King she sent a letter of excuse on account of sudden indisposition : nor did she tell an untruth, fur she was seriously ill. This strange and absurd behaviour shows to what a . degree the mind of the Duchess has been poisoned by the interested intriguers of the ultra-Royalist party, who all the while are laughing in their sleeve at the credulity of their dupe, and are hugging themselves to find that a calumny too gross to itn.• , pose on an infant has the good fortune to pass cur. rent in a quarter where it might do much injury to , the great object of their hatred. The following passage from a private letter to a French editor, was struck out by the censors:— . " The King of Naples has, it seems, at length consented to go back to his states. He has lingered a long time in the Tuscan and Papal territories, and his delay has given rise to many conjectures. It is said that he is very much displeased with the conduct of the Prince of Calabria, and that the adoption of some measure of rigour respecting him is contemplated." The distribution of provisions in celebration of the birth-day of the Duke of Bourdeaux was abundant. Eighteen thousand pounds of sweetmeats, from Verdun, were thrown amongst the people in the Champ Elysees ; besides bread, wine, and sausages, 37,500 patties were given to as may pour families on the preceding day; each cost the city half-a-crown, though their price at the pastry-cook's is only 15d. So much for corrupt influence. The revolution which has taken place at Rio Janeiro, the seat of the Brasilian Government, was accomplished without the shedding of blood. The conduct of the King of Portugal on the occasion has insured hint the love and veneration of his subjects, as he issued a decree on the '24th of February, declaring that he would front that moment heartily approve and sanction the constitution established at Portugal, and receive it its his Nlajtsty's Kingdom of the Brazils and ell the other dominions of his Crown. Such being the fret it is not probable that the I 1 oly Alliance will meddle with site revolution of Portugal • By advwcs from Pa:ras of tha sth ult. the Turks ''.- "7 4 .
