ne Court.
THE King and Queen have beenprevented by illness from joining in the celebration of the Princess 'Victoria's birth-day. The Queen is better, though still indisposed ; but bis Majesty was attacked with asthma on Sunday morning, and has not yet recovered. Sir Henry Milford is in daily attendance at the Palace. The immediate cause of the Royal illness is not mentioned ; but they who recollect the nature of the late King's complaint, will not be very sanguine as to the re- covery of William the Fourth from his "asthma." Lord Melbourne, after attending a Cabinet Council in town, went to Windsor on Tuesday, and had an interview with the King; on what urgent subject, is uncertain, though the surmise is that it related to the Princess Victoria's establishment. On this occasion the Premier had the rare felicity of dining with the Queen. He returned to town the same evening. On Thursday, three King's messengers were sent from Windsor with despatches to Lord Melbourne. The Levee, which was to have been held to-day, is postponed to Thursday next.
