THE KING.

His MAJEsTT was somewhat better yesterday. The gout
is fixed in the knee; but, we understand that it is not a very
severe attack. Though the grand dinner party that was to have
taken place yesterday, at Carlton Palace was postponed, yet
his Majesty was, sufficiently well to see company ; a few select
friends were invited to dine with the King. With the exception
of the attack of the gout, the• King enjoys his usual health;
and it is expected that he will be sufficiently well to hold the
Drawing Room next week, at St. James's Palace. —( Morning

POETRY.

THE CATHOLIC QUCSTION.
How strange that BRITAIN, great in arms,
With strength to spurn ali vain alarms,
'Gainst POPE gor should make a stir,
And to reject its claims demur !
Reject at once the.Romish Creed—
What ! Traitors nourish, cloathe, and feed,
Who would through life-employ their art •
Such baneful doctrines to impart •
As tend to chain this free-born Nation,
Arid nullify the REFORMATION!
What ! harbour those who, somewhat odd,
Think Bakers. can Mould up a GOD,
And that a-wafer chang'd can be
And bak'd into DIVINITY !
Who say their God is found in flour,
And then that very God devour !
Who deem by wine is understood
Their hallow'd Saviour's very blood ;
And thus,-oh ! horrible to think, •
Their pure Redeemer eat and drink !
Away with all such arrant fools,
Their images, their heads, their rules
That keep in ignorance the mind,
And would for ever keep it blind ;
Nor rob the Country to maintain
So weak, so mad, so base a train !
