THE QUEEN.

We are extremely concerned tb say, that her
131susey was suddenly taken ill on Saturday night,
about ten o'clock, while taking tea with the even-
tog 'tarty at the Duke and Duchess ►
of YORR's,
and she felt herself so very unwell that she wished
to go home to her Palace instantly, but neither her
hair nor her carriage were in readiness, her MA.
JEsTY not hoeing ordered them till eleven o'clock.
However, Lord and Lady eseneesson arrived
;sod set WWII at the time, and on their being its-
irmed of what had happened, they offered the use of
their carriage, which was accepted, and the Quetta
got into it—she was accompanied most affection-
ately by her daughters, the Duchess of (Atm.
Cv.STER, the Prince", AUGUsTA, and the PfllletlP4
of Urns Hoesoutta. The carriage wag attended
by two of the Duke of YORE'S footmen.
Exonerate oere pent off by special messengers to
rail Sir Fitaacts MiLststs and Sir HENRY HAI..
FORD to attend upon the QUEEN, and they wept to
the Palace iii a short time. They remained wish
the ()nevi till past twelve o'clock, when, we are
to say, the Doctors pronounced her MA-
MTV better, and Sir HENRY HALFoRD was &-
puled to convey the agreeable intelligence to the
PRINCE REGENT at Carlton House, lijo Royal
Highness having reined from the party at York
House in consequence of the indisposition of his
Hovel mother. _

The whole of the party broke up much sooner
than was expected, in consequence of the illne►a
of' the Quilts. The Duke of GLOUCLSTER and
the Princess SoPHIA of GLOUCEsTIiII called at the
Palace, to make their affectionate inquiries after
she Qtfeett's health, on their way home, as did
several of the Royal attendant•, and the particular
friends of her MAJESTY. The indisposition with
which the QUEEN was so suddenly seized, we Un-
derstood to be a spasmodic attack.
Yesterday morning early the PRINCE REGENT,
and all the branches of the Royal Family rent to
the Queen's Palace, to make their affectionate in-
guinea after the health of their beloved and Royal
Mother. in the course of the day the PRINCE
REGENT, the Duke and Duchess of YORE, the
Dukeand Duchess of GLOUCESTER, wild the Duke
of CLARENCE, paid their dutiful and personal re•
spectr.
Early in the morning Sir FitAlitts MILHAN and
Sir HENRY HA I.FORD attended her MAJESTY, and
a little before twelve o'clock the following Bulletin
wit. issued for the satisfaction of the public:—
. The gin' was a good deal indisposed yesterday even.
Om, bat her Majesty has passed a good night, and is bend,
Ibis numbing.

The Queen's Palace was th grit from the
middle nt the day fill tiw rrening, with persons of
rabic making their dutiful inquiries and leaving
their names. The bustle attrgried a great number
of persons who surrounded the Palace as spectators.

Saturday, about twelve o'clock, the Prince of
HUSE HONDOURG. attended by Baton O'NActt.
