was dressing for dinner. His 111AJLiifY frequently
vi-its her Royal Highness, at that tome. We have
the pleasure to say.hcr Royal Highness is considered
better. The Princess AMELIA'S disorder is a liver

Royal Highness were to submit to the operation or
an incision, the cause of complaint might be re-
moved.
