THE Slim—We are ettremely sorry to announce, that his Majesty
is So unwell as to render the attendance of more than one of the Royal phy. eicians necessary. His Majesty has been occasionally indisposed in the course of the last two months, but the late fine weather seemed to have restored him to perfect health, and he continued so until within these two last days, when he again became so unwell that the physicians were summoned ; and we understand the indisposition is so serious as to confine his Majesty to his bedchamber.—Morning Herald, Friday.
It is understood that his Majesty's illness amounted to nothing more serious than a slight cold ; and we learn from the Court Circular that he is expected to hold a Court on Wednesday next, to receive the report of the Recorder of London.
We understand that his Majesty's indisposition is an inflammation of the chest. It is a malady to which his Majesty has been peculiarly liable for some time past ; and that liability has been repeatedly excited by his Ma- jesty's predelection for the scenery in the neighbourhood of Virginia Waters, from whence he has often driven to the Castle in an open phaeton after sun-
I: set, and of course exposed to the cool air and dews of evening. Attacks of
' inflammation ensued in consequence several times in the course of last sum- mer.—'-Morning Herald, Saturday. The King has been pleased to appoint Henry Hope, Esq., one of the Grooms of his Majesty's Bedchamber, in the room of Sir Edmund Nagle, deceased.—London Gazette.
We have heard it whispered, that in the event of Prince Leopold being appointed to the Government of Greece, it is his intention to relinquish the Claremont estate in favour of his Royal niece, the Princess Victoria.— Herald.
Sir George Hill is appointed Governor of St. Vincent's. Mr. Maurice Fitzgerald is to be his successor in the office of Vice-Treasurer of Ireland
It is reported that Mr. George Bankes is to be one of the Lords of the Treasury.
