BRIGHTON, dare. 23.—Tbe bulletin issued by Dr. TreaNeY this morning, states,' that the PitINCE-REGENT cautittueB improving. Nresterday afternoon, it was stated with much confidence, that the PRINCE'REGENT will sojourn at the Pa 7 %Lion until the lst of March. The recent . con- Ainement of his Royal Highness may perhaps haire .oecAsioned this reported change. We cannot learn positively whether the REGENT returns to town to open the Session. of Parliament. This will depend upon circumstances, and on the exter mination of his afflicting complaint ofrtlie3gout. It is with pleasure we announce; thabibis morn ing the pill has entirely left one, of hii feet, and his Royal liighness is enabled to take oi-ereise.— In every other respect the health of the REGENT could not be better.
