TIIE KING, &c.

Wiwnson, JOLT 28.—This afternoon, shortly before two
o'clock, his MAJZSTY left the Royal Lodge in this pony
phaeton, accompanied by his usual attendants and outriders,
and drove through the delightful rides in the Great Park to the
bank of Virginia Water, from whence he returned, by Sandpit
Gate, to the Royal Lodge. We are happy to state that the ex-
pectations which were entertained of Sir Andrew Barnard's
speedy recovery arc well founded. Sir Andrew passed an ex-
tremely good night, and this morning has experienced scarcely
any pain. His Medical Attendants are confident in their hope*
of his being enabled to take an airing in a day or two. His
Majesty has paid daily visits to Cumberland Lodge to inquire
after Sir Andrew's Amendment.
