THE QUEEN.
—.ow--

Notwithstandin'. the apparent sameness in the Offi.
cial Bulletins, we have every reason •to believe, that
the excessive debility to which her Majesty has been
reduced is now almost daily inerecsing ; and
k though some palliation of the more violent symp-
oms is occasionally:produced by the application of ano.
dynes, and her strength be, in some degree, supported
by cordial medicines, yet. from •the pain she suffers, on
the slightest motion, there is, we apprehend, but little
doubt but her malady (which hag-latterly manifested
hydrops,• in all its varieties) proceeds from an unusual
state of the viscera ; and this, at Her Majesty's ad.
vanced age, precludes, we fear, entirety, all hope of her
restoration. A crisis, therefore, and that at no very
distant date, is mrtaitsly to be apprehended. Never-
theless, by the skill of her physicians, by incessant erre,
and by the extraordinary aneans which have been re-
sorted to, the event may. possibly be procrastinated fc.r
some time, should .therebe no recurrrence of spasm.
Yet the situation of Kew is materially against this 1105.•
sibility ; and it is • to be regretted that Her Majesty
took up her residence therein the first instance, or that
she dias not been earlier removed. Damp and marshy
`tuations are, in many.,constitutions, sufficient•of them.
selvelves to produce liedrops ; and a warm dry air is al-
most, indispensablnfor its cure, even in youthful cases;
but tto Louse itywhich her Majesty resides is situated
on the law grounds, 'within. a hundred ynsds of the
Thames; and, during tburtecn hours out of the twenty-
finir,is enveloped in the autumnal exhalations of the
•lliver: to • increase the evil too. the very chamber in
which she is confined is at the back of the house, sad
its• windows,•with only theintervention of sfr.single row
of elms, open directly upon the water.
The .following Bulletins have been issued since out
last.:

she was yesterday."

'Re regret to state that the accounts of Friday night
were of the most alarming nature. Her Majesky
con-
tinued very restless, was evidently in great pain, and
the most serious apprehensions were entertained. The
Regent Lind the Princess Augusta, end Duchess of
Gloucesrer, were :s usual •in anxious attendance on
their Royal Parent, each. evincing the most •becoming
solicitude on the afflicting occasicu.

It is • oonfidently mentionedrthat her-Majesty is not
possessed of the immense propertr,thepublic give her
credit for; on the contrary, it is said that her personal
property almost altogether consits of jewels. There
areseveral highly pleasing and interesting anecdotes in
circulation relative-to .her Majesty's giving considera•
file sums of money privateirto deserving objects. Their
Majesties, it is supposed, are the only instance in the
United Kingdom, of a man and his wife having been
married above iffy-..is years, with twelve children
living, the youngest of whom is forty years of age.
The Archduke Michael and ..his-suite were not re•
eeived everywhere with -the same graciousness. On
application teen eminent manufactory in thisseountry,
for permission to• see the works, one of the partners,
with the true sttiliness of John Bull, said, that he was
very willing to admit the Prince himself, but he did
not chose to estend his -permission tomhis followers,
who were probably, he said, tome of them machinists or
draughtsmen, disguised as nublemea,.i.and sent here for
