Palace about half-past twelve o'clock, from bi

MAJESTY for some hours.

The Princess AUQUSTA entertained.the Duke of Suss
and a select party to dinner yesterday at her residence

Mauritius.

THE KING'S HEALTH.—WC arc happr
confirm, from undoubted authority, the statement o',
has appeared of an improvement in the health of
MAJESTY ; but we regret that we cannot go so far
the same authority as to state that there is a reasonsit
prospect of his recovery of perfect health. The truth
that his DIAIESTY has been declining for months past,
that the nature of his indisposition is such, that any side
relapse might be attended with very alarming cos',
quenees. The Brighton Gazette states that his .141
JESTY has taken large quantities of laudanum; this
are authorised to contradict. Oa the contrary, the qe,,,f!
city of laudanum administered has been much sway'
than is usual in such cases; and there is no reason to Oro
pose that the symptoms existed which were implied./
the assertion in question. We are happy to state
except at intervals, his MAJESTY has not suffered ngir,
pain, and has never lost his habitual, cheerfulness.--0
