COPENHAGEN, March 24.
Counsellor Struensee has lost his Courage since his Examination; he even says that he is not in his right Senses, as the Interrogatories he has answered disturb his Brain Night and Day. It is thought this Delirium is occasioned merely by the false Hopes he had entertained, that, after being heard, he should be delivered from his Chains. The Count de Brandt declares plainly that he does not grieve on Account of the Questions that have been put to him, but that he is extremely sorry to be obliged to tell the Truth, to the Disadvantage of his best Friends. Nevertheless, he preserves his good Humour, though he does not joke so much as usual.
