It will not he thought uninterefling by the Pub lic to be informed of the remedy to which is to be attributed, under PROVIDENCE, the abatement of the fever, and the tranquillity of mind which re fultcd from fuch long repofe. Several opiates having been tried, without the defired effea, Mr. ADDINGTON ruggefted a prcfcription whik;t had been ufcd by his father, Dr. ADDINGTON. A pil low, filled with hops, was placed tinder the KING'S head, which affect as a foporific, and produced the moll complete fuccefs. The quick and vifible prngrefs of amendment, fence this favourable circum fiance, juflifics the moll fanguine expeCtatiou of his MAJESTY'S fpeedy re covery. Her MAJI STY and the PRINCESSES, whore at tention to the KING Las been unremitting, took an airing yeflerday, for the firft time, fince the Royal illnefs. Their own health evidently required a little recreation and change of air.

Yellerday a very numerous meeting of this Club took place at the Crown and Anchor, in the Strand. Earl THAN Er was in the Chair, fupport• ed by a number of Noblemen and Gentlemen of the firs diflinaion ; the Dukes of NORFOLK and BEDFORD, Mr. Fox, the Earl of ALBEMARLE, Lord ROBERT SPENCER, Lord JoHN RUSSELL, Lord STANLEY, Mr. SHERIDAN, Mr. ERSKINE, Mr. WHITBREAD, Sir JOHN AUBREY. Mr. SMITH, Mr. Sr. JoHN, Mr. ADAIR, Mr. HosuousE, and a number of other Gentlemen. The ufual Toalls of the Club being drank, The CHAIRMAN gave— His Mottsle, and a fpcedy and complete recovery to him. Which was drank with three times three, and the loudeft applaufe. Mr. Fox's health being given, he addreffed the company in a Ilion fpeech, in which, after thank ing them for the renewed expreffion of their at tachment, he Rated, that though he had for force time pall felt himfelf under the neceffity of de claring his perfeverance in the fyftem of retirement he had adopted, nevcrthelefs he had refOlved, in the prefent fituation of the country, to attend the difcuflion of the motion for an Enquiry into the State of the Nation, announced by his Honour ' able Friend Mr. GREY. Upon this occalion he was wilting to try whether the Houle of Com mons, in the prefent eventful crifis, would con tinue that blind fyftem of confidence they had fo long purfued. He did not at all depreciate the merit, or queftion the motive of thole who had thou3ht it their duty to be more regular in their attendance, though his own views of the fubjeet had fully fatisfied himfelf that the course he had followed was for him the molt proper. Other events, bifides thole general and well known in the fituation of the country, might Rill farther require his attendance. An event to which he would not allude, might produce a difeuffion to which he fhould conceive himfelf bound to give his attendance. Should that occafion unfortunately recur, lie could only fay, that his opinions were tht fame that lie had held when they were firlt de manded by the public exigency. Time and reflec tion had but matured and confirmed his former ideas on the fubjeut. He milled that no oppor tunity would occur for the difeuftion of thofe opi nions, and it would be premature to fay mere. With regard to the other point to which he con ceived his attendance in the Houfe of Commons required, he could only fay, that his future con. &Jet mull he regulated in a confiderable degree by the refult of that difcuffion. If the Houle of Com mons, in the prefent difficult and dangerous Rate of the nation, did not enter into a deep, firm, and thorough enquiry, the country was 1011. Every melancholy prefage, which even the moll gloomy had indulged, was realized; more than the molt fearful accumulation of evils had aftually taken place, and the danger continued to encreafe. In fuch circumflances, an additional effort to roufe the nation might be tried ; but it depended upon the fpirit thcwn by the Houfe of Commons, whe ther the calamities we had undergone could be relieved, or the dangers we had apprehended could be averted. This fpeech was received with the warmeft burns of applaufe. On the Duke of BEDFORD'S health being drank, his Grace returned his thanks in a neat fpeech, in which he Paid, that as it had been his ambition to obtain, lo it fhould be his pride to preferve the approbation of fuch a body." Earl Tnnotir's health being given, he laid that the only way in which he could hope to merit the honour they had done him was, by perfcvering in his attachment to the principles of the Club. Mr. :itit4IDAN, on his health being drank, re- turned his thanks, and among other things laid, th:tt after all the experience of the pall, and the obfervation of the prefent, there could be no other fentiment among thofe Members of Parliament, who had oppofed the fyftem by which the country had been reduced to its prefent difirefs, but to look to his Honourable Friend, Mr. Fox, as the fea.mark to guide their courfe. On this occafion he fhould forbear to defcant on the general fitua tion of the country. In looking round he thould rather with to find topics of confulation, and among them he claffed the return of Mr. Fox to Parliament, and the refloration to the country of the privileges of the Habeas Corpus Att. The healths of Mr, EIMINE, Mr. ST. JOHN, the Earl of AL BEMAiLE, Mr. WHITIIRLAD, and Mr. Milli GAY, were drank with great applaufe. The next Meeting was fixed to be at the Free mafon's Tavern, on the firs Tuefday in April. Yefterday the late Stock Exchange was opened as a Stock Subfcription Room, and two of the per , lons who had been rejeCted on the ballot tendered their ten guineas each, and demanded admittance; but they were refuted. However, they thruft their way in, and mixed with the refl. Remonlirance proving vain, two of the Committee applied at the Manfion-Houfe for the Marlhalmen, who came, and by force obliged them to withdraw. One of them again forced his way in, on which ode of the members took the fenfe of the room, whether the perfon fo obtruding fhould again be turned out, which, on a (hew of hands, was alma unanimous; hov:ever, two clerks belonging to fome of the Brokers taking an alive part in favour of the re jet:kJ perfon, notice was inflantly given to their mailers to provide other clerks, as they would not be admitted any more.
