The Sun. — 1823-11-19 (London, England)

FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT AT PARIS.  PARIS, Nov. 15.—Some of the. London papers state a report that the KING had been taken  alarmingly ill with the gout in his stomach.— This, however, is not the fact. The disease he labours under is entirely in hid,jegiz, and since he is totally unable to walk, violent exercise has been recommended by his physicians, in a carriage, to promote a proper circulation of the blood. Accordingly, as the weather is favourable, his Ma jesty regularly goes out in his coach, when the horses are put at full gallop. I hive often had occasion to see the cavalcade, and on returning to the Tuileries, the animals appear as if they would drop from fatigue, in consequence of the very rapid pace at which they are driven. No doubt can be entertained, however, that his Majesty's health is In a very precarious state. Solemn mass was performed yesterday in his apartments, on occasion of the anniversary of the death of his late consort.  If the dreadful murder of Mr. Weare, which is mentioned in the French prints, has occasioned much conversation in England, the trial of Dr. Castaing here, on a charge of poisoning young Bellet, the advocate ; and the atrocious attack on the person of the venerable Greek. Priest in the act of proceeding to his altar, and by an Italian assassin, has excited no ordinary interest. This Ecclesiastic Isucarus, is about 80 years of age; he long resided in Rome as a distinguished character, and was particularly known to the late Duke of Gloucester, when he was there. During the usurpation of Buonapate, he fell under his displeasure ; he lost his property, was thrown into chains, and even led to the scaffold at Naples for execution ; but obtained pardon. He came to France, and has resided many years in Pitris, in the Rue St. Honore, where he has a small chapel adjoining his house, and religious duties are performed in presence of the Greeks and others of the same persuasion as himself. He experienced very marked attention from the Emperor Alexander when here, WAS admitted to his table, and received from him a Russian Order, for the humnanity he exercised, and consolation imparted to many of the wounded Cossacks iu the hospitals. The villain attacked him in his house, and placed him between his knees, resolving if possible, to cut off his head with a razor, which, by the resistance of the Priest, could not be accomplished. He made several deep cuts on the left side of his throat, across his nose and mouth, and the long beard by which he is distinguished, appears to have defended him much. His hands are sadly wounded, from a struggle to wrest the razor from the grasp of the assassin. I have just now seen him in the hospital, where be presents a shocking spectacle. Seals are put on the house, where much blood flowed, to remain until the trial commences. The trial of Castaing is going mond is expected to continue some days longer, from the number of witnesses still to be examined. Yesterday the Court was occupied in interrogating medical men, on the nature of poisonous ingredients, and the different shapes in which they can be made up to escape detection. The handsome statue of Henry the 4th, forming so striking an object on the Pont Neuf, is just finishing. .Workmen are employed in preparing the proper iron-railing to inclose the whole. • The church of Magdalene, bottom of the Boulevards, which had' remained in a half finished state long previous to the Peace, is now completing on a magnificent scale, and forms a corresponding object with the Chambers of Deputies, which it fronts. The cold has been very sharp to-day, with the thermometer at 32 deg. lower than I have found it this season. The ponds in the Tuileries are covered with sheets of ice, and what is as considered a singular circumstance, the whole of Paris is enveloped in a thick fog, such as you are visited with in London. Black velvet hats and silk cloaks are worn here by females, and made in the English stile. Children wear enormously large straw hats, as if exposed to a burning sun. Many of the Parisian Beaus .are wrapped up in cloaks a PEspagnole, with high necks of red velvet, and long gold ',assets.
