JUNE 26, 1830 DEATH OF THE KING

HIS MAJES'TY'S sufferings are at length at an end; he died this morning, at a quarter Past three o'clock.

No authentic particulars of the last scene of his Majesty's life have yet been made public, nor is it prob- able that any thing of a really authentic charac- ter will be known for some time.
