LLI4 MS 01 Ms. &THERON FATCOURT. —We
regret to announce that the health of Mr. Botheron
Fete•urt is in such a precarious state as to be a muse
of serious anxiety to his friends. The attack eith
which he was netted about three years ago (bleeding
at the DON from the rupture of • bloodvesesl) has
renewed itself, and for some days the right hon.
gentleman has been confined to his house in London.
The shock occasioned by his brother's illness and
death sae probably the cause. All will join with
us in earnest hope that ev valuable a life may yet be
spared.
