LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MARcit 29, MC

It is with unfeigned pleasure we announce to the pul
that his MAJESTY 15 EO far recovered from his Lae

disposition as to render the further issuing of bulletn
altogether unweessary. The KING yesterday moron
was so well that Sir HENRY fistroan, who was the Pb
sician in attendance at the Royal Lodge, decided on .
own responsibility to dispense with any official announce-
ment regarding his MAJZSTY.B illness. We sincerely con-
gratulate all his subjects on this happy change in
health of our gracious SOYCREIGN, and hope that in:
years may elapse before they experience the same anxi,
respecting it that they have been suffering for the
week.

Mr. ARBUTHNOT last night introduced a Bill into .
House of Commons for the improvement of Charing-cross
The Right Hon. Member stated the object of his meatur
to be, the formation of a quadrangle, to extend from Pa
mall to St. Martin's-lane five hundred feet, and to extetn
for an equal distance from the statue towards the uott
There will be three new streets included in this improt
ment, and the Strand will be widened from thirty-five
sixty feet as far as Bedford-street. The first additich.
carriage-way will be across the upper part of the proposed
quadrangle, that will run into a street to be formed on
south side of St. Martin's church; and which will
diagonally into the Strand. There will be another sn
from Ilemming's-row and Chandos-street into the Sea.
by Bedford-street. Mr. ARBUTHNOT stated that he
not intend to call upon the House for a single shilling
carry this improvement into effect. He expected to tnoi:
all the expences by a sale of a portion of the Crown lands,
and by an exchange of another portion.

In reply to a question respecting the Regent's P:Uk,
ARBUTHNOT declared that it would be opened to the pm
lie as soon as the plantations were in such a state that the.
could not be injured by the violence of mischievous pen
sons. In answer to another question from Sir M.
Rimr.v, respecting Exeter Change, the Right Hon. Gem
tletnan observed that it was the private proverty of bor
E ETEn, who he understood bad expressed an inu.n.ion
pulling it down, by which that part of the great thorougl
fare that runs past it would be materially widened; and
assured the Honourable Ilironet, that if he (Mr. Anse'
NOT) could do any thing to facilitate the intention of
Noble Marquis, he would do so with pleasure.
