THE QUEEN —The following painful statement pre-

know how inestimable a blessing to a nation, it the ex-
ample of female virtue on the thni•re. flt is assorted,

her Nlaje:lty is a total decay of nature, and a daily in-
creasing morbidity in all those parts, the energy, or at
least the re,rular motion of whii!:, is nemswary to the
functions of life. What usually occurs in thiedisease,
and which is always the last stage of it, has some time
since commenced in bey Majesty. A quantity of water
has already accumulated in the chest nail Ltonzach.
