NEWS OF THE WEEK.
So many and so high interests—interests not limited by the ar- rangements of fashionable life, but affecting our most important po- litical prospects—are involved in the health of the present King, as to' render every bulletin a matter of the deepest interest to the public. These official communications have not, during the present week, gained much in explicitness ; while the disposition to distrust them appears to increase from day to day. They are now published regu- larly at St. James's Palace ; a measure which is rarely resorted to but in extreme cases, and which would seem to contradict the declaration of medical authorities, that his Majesty's complaint is not dangerous. Sir HENRY HALFORD and Sir MATTHEW TIERNEY have been in close attendance, and the bulletins are signed by both of them. These are symptoms more serious than any noticed in the bulletins themselves. It was stated a few days ago, by some newsmonger, that the Duke of WELLINGTON had visited Windsor, and, after waiting for two hours, had been obliged to return to town without having seen his Majesty. The statement was immediately contradicted ; -but nothing of a cheering nature accompanied the contradiction. We subjoin the bul- letins.
"Windsor Castle, April 26, Nine o'clock, a.m.—The state of the King's health continues much the same. His Majesty has passed a good night." "Windsor Castle, April 27, 1830, Half-past ten, a.ni.—The King continued as well as his Majesty has been for several days past, until this morning, when his Majesty experienced a return of the embarrassment'of his breathing. His Majesty is now again better" "Windsor Castle, April 28, 1830, Eleven o'clock, a.m.—The King has suffered less from the attacks of embarrassment in his breathing since our report of yesterday, and his Majesty has passed a good night." "Windsor Castle, April 29.—The King continues much in the same state, with occasional embarrassment in his Majesty's breathing." " Windsor Castle, April 30.—The King had several hours of refreshing sleep last night. His Majesty's symptoms appear to be somewhat alleviated.' " Windsor Castle, May 1.—The King felt himself better all yesterday, but his Majesty has passed an indifferent night."
