OvKUTitiimv of Tit!-. Coirxcir. or HKOKNcr, ami E.KiXirTiOX Of TilKliE MISISTGIIS. (From the Argus' own Correspondent.) | ' Shanghai, Nov. 25. We lieve been slartloil within Ihc hist few days v.iUi news from Pekin, iMinounciiifr the .seizure and execution of three Ministers umlnr ilie new rsiiims, ;is trail iva to theii1 kiivr ami country.

Ilien Funjf was exceedi:i;;ly anxious to leavoliis frigid mountain retreat ami reiurn to Pokin. hut tlk-se Ministers deterred him fic.ni i>ut;ing !;ij desires into effect, by gross sabtet'fu.ues, which his brother Prince Ktuig and his widowed Kmp^ss have found out ; and they attribute the deatii of the King- to tiie bitter coldness of the region where he breathed his last. Apparently the lady is of nioie. than ordinary spirit, ami she boldly accused them to her advisers ofiicctjlerriting the death of the Emperor, which, according to the lsiw.s of China, is treason, dealii—voluntary, by scli'-st.-ampliation with a silver cord, or involuntary by decapitation in pul.lic. Two of the delinquents had the felicity of i!■ >i.;g o:il of L'xisU'iiei- by !h.;ir own bunds, w!-,ii ■• :'-..-' 'iiird w:i > bt'.na.led at the place of public execution. ii.'iore this saiisruinjirv a<'i ofieiribuiivejustiee was pyr.'oruiod. the young- KnijKTor made a six <! ivs1 :!i-oi!res« j'ro;u Zil'.ol. tvhevc h\» father died, lo'i'i'liin, ihe roi-tiijc i:eiiig f'oildV'ed up by the i\m.dii-3 of Mian Fini.a. It. so happened that the chio.' traitor, [lie I'i;nce of Lsai-yuen, was in charge of the body of his late master, and on reaching the end of hi* journey he was seized by a squadron of TurUir cavairy. and incarcerated in the city. The otiier two obnoxious members ot Ihc Regency w-.-re .»eiit on a false mission into Pe-kin. lo make il;e necL'Ksary preparations for the instailiition of the i>oy Ivnjieror. Tiuy were also imprisoned in the city. The day afterwards the pfocession ent'jicd tiie anyidiit northern cai.'itnl of China, and the pe^p'e, i;i iheir quiet, snhdued ■o it;, cried.

Deak : — 3-Vaneoi-f I<eal-:, who was born in ll'O'i, ii the HiU of a I'ounirv i'-entiemiin ; his mothc-r died in e'nihiliC'.l, -.mil iuV tU:he;- very shortly after. It wa.s his broilier Aniouie, his senior by twenty year.', w!;o broi\_ht 1,-im up. lie displayed in i.-:trly yoitsii emuislcri.ble naturiil talent. His conversation wa . aniimtted ; of a rare jmrity of im'.UiK:,1?, lie ohscrved t'nc most delicate reserve when in liitj pi';.':e.ice of ladies, wititotit however ! carry-'iig it to t!:e extent of jirudery. His corpulency, which makes him appear shorter than he reaily is, his rough black hair, his Sow but ample brow, n short straight pointed nose, long I (.'lun, a thick nioiirtaciv:! almost wholly covering the )i;>, a:) 1 Ir.-j.'e aud ruddy cheeks, altogether give him a vulgar appearance. But when lie j speaks and is aniiiKitc-il his countenance becomes lighted up with :he :;;>.t;-I: of i:ite!!ige:iee, his eyes ure bright, m:J >■.!.•! ::u\':lj Li iroiiie;'.' hul" not bitter. At five o'clock in ilia morning I\l. Dt-ak is sure to be seen commend;:^ hU long walk, dressed witli scrupulous neatness, with ;i black coat and while waistcoat, aiid carrying a large cave. lie is a declared enemy to all unnecessary labor —a letter from him is :\s :rnv as it is precious. Hut it si only at interval■•• :'i.;r Ik1 indulges in th'n love of repose. In iSii mvi i 043 we havo sewi him at work iying on hi.; back, for ten hours oat of the twentv-fimr, drai.'.'j!i;r up lh.'criminal code, ami tliiit jjoingon wilhout res: from day to day. His evenings are ]>a:-:sed :v: the Cercle, smoking and delighting his friends by his briiiiant and animated conversation. in the Chamber, where he keeps himself aloof from parly intrigues, he .speaks little, hut never without producing a great sensation. It'attacked, he replies with bitterness and violence ! His ir.-gmnauts arc overpowering, lie doytj not amuse himself with flowers of rhetoric, and never quits the field until he has overpowered his enemy. His voice is not pleasing being harsh and somewhat husky. On these occasions he is cruelly positive and irresistible, lie is, howjver, afilteted with a real itiiirmily ; to listen to pl.itiiu.jj; even for a very xhort time gives him a fVighuul headache. One of the mos. noble traits iv bis character is his straightforwardness. Thus the people call him "ilie jiut one " —neither mnreuor less than Aristides. In 181-3 the Government determine 1 to defeat his election at any price ; his friends thought it right to use the same weapons, anda combat unequalled in Parliamentary annals followed. He came oil' with the honors of war, but soon afterwards resigned, as he would not sanction any corruption by his example. In 1348 he formed part of the Ministry of Count BaUhyaui, for the Department of Jiisli.ee, and the Diet deputed him, in company with the Count and the Bishop Souvasis, to go to the camp of Marshall Wiiuiisehgratz to attempt a last- arrangement with Austria. The l'rince did not receive them, as he would, not treat with rebels. Count Batlliyaiii was put under arrest, ami tiie two oilier deputies of the Diet under tiie surveillance of the police. Deak could not, therefore follow tha Hungarian Government to Debreeziti, and he remained at Postli during the War of Independence. At the time of tiie Bach Minislry fiiil powers were ofibred to lii-.n for the organisation of justice. Great embarraasnisnt existed between the abolished Hungarian laws and tiie unpopular Austrian code. Deak frankly refused to assist the foreign Administration, and continued to lead a solitary and retired lite at lteth on an annuity which *he received from Szechenyie family in payment for estates which he had sold to them. At liio present Diet, soina agents of the revolutionary parly, being jealous of an eloquence capable of cclip.iing even that of Kossuth, endeavoured to raisu a suspicion of his wish for n reconciliation with Austria at any price. The majority remained firm for v moment, but his first adJiv:.:;", disfigured by the Viv.ndy amendment, was unanimously re-established, and the second enthusiastically accepted, as you are aware.
