THE LATE BARON DE BRUCK.  The examination Of the body of the baron resulted in the =following opinion gives by Dr. Rokitansky and Dr. Cessner  "1. That as Baron Bruck lost a great quantity of blood from. the wounds which hi inflicted- onhimself, it must be, concluded .:.be died loss of blood, unless, indeed, an analytical examination of the contents of the stomach' should Show that- a very active poison contributed:to, his desth, The:ebronie. *erous effusion in the skull, the relaxation of the substance of the heart, aud the sebaceous (tallowy) state of the liver justify the conclusion that Baron Bruck,, being in a. state of great distress.of mind and of despondeney, committed suicide. " The following information, which is from privite Sources, will explain hew.it,bappezied that a part of the truth was so long kept from the knowledge of the authoritiei. Baron Bruck's valet; who was awakened between six and seven in the morning of. Monday last by the ringing of his master's bell, immediately obeyed the summons, and found the unfortunate man bathed in his blood, and almost insensible. The servant at once called the minister's two tons, and they sent him for the physicians Breuning and Wering, who found the patient much exhausted from loss of blood, but not in a positively hopeless state. The - family being exceedingly desirous to keep what had occurred. from the knowledge of the world, entreated the medical Men to remain silent, and they, as it appears; consented to do so, -- In the course of the day, however,.they became alarmed, and insistid on some of their more renowned Colleagues being called in. The family would fain have persuaded them to wait for a time. but they were not to be moved, and it wit settled that a consultatfon should be held at calf--past sin in the afternocat. Before that hour arrived Baron )3rueli had ceased to be. The presumption is, that the ex-minister took some vegetable poison, morphine or strychnine, during the night, and that he inflicted the wound on hisneck and wrists towards morning, in order to bring on,death more speedily. In what way and to what extent Baron Bruck was implicated in the Eynatten-Revoltella affair we know not,.but he would probably have been arrested had he not killed himself. On Wednesday, the 18th, he refused to be examined by M. Hitzinger, the judge, on the plea that he, as minister, was responsible to the Emperor alone, but on Friday he consented to reply to the questions which were put to him. After his examination on the last mentioned day, M. Hitzinger and M. Beller, the general prosecutor, had an interview with Count Goluchowski, the Minister of the Interior, and Count Nadosdy, the Minister of Justice, and those gentlemen subsequently declared to the Emperor that the ends of justice required the temporal dismissal of Baron Bruck from office. 'A great assembled on the 20th to see the remains Of the vx-minister removed from -the church to the cemetery, but very few of hia so-called friends were present: in the church was the Turkish Atabassador,_but, no other member of the diplomatic corps. . None of the ministers attended the funeral, and We erhpioyes in the different gaVernMent offices received..-orders.not to. appear at it in uniform. At three o'clock, the time at which the ceremony began, it rained very heavily, and consequently but few persons drove out to the place of burial.
