THE KING.

BRIGHTON, J.tN. 10.—We regret to state that
on Wednesday evening the KING had a severe
attack of gout, the inflammation and pain of
which so continued to increase, that his -MAJESTY
has been confined entirely to his bed from that
period to the present. Though the pain has
been and is very great, the symptoms have as-
sumed a favourable character, and the fervent
hope as well as expectation is, that his MAJESTY'S
illness has past its crisis, and will now shortly
wear off altogether.

BRIGHTON, JAN. 11.--Tine O'CIOCk, P. M.--
The indisposition of the KING, as may be readily
supposed, has cast a gloom over all classes of
people here ; but we have the consolation to
know that WS MAJESTY, though yet confined to
his bed, and suffering much pain, is considered as
doing well. No bulletin was published at the
Palace to-day, but the answer to the almost
numberless inquiries in the morning was—
" His MAJESTY has passed a restless night, 'out is better
this morning."
The reply to similar applications- this evening
has been quite as favourable. The pain hisMa-
JESTY suffers is principally confined to the ancle
and knee. It is not expected that any bulletin
will be published to-morrow.

BRIGHTON, JAN. 12.-7'wo o'clock, P. Ald—l
am happy to inform you that the report on the
state of his MAJESTY'S health continues favour-
able. No bulletin was published this morning.
The answer to all inquiries has been—" Ilis
MAJESTY is better to-day."

KING'S THEATar..—The appearance of this
Theatre on Saturday skews that the higher or-
ders are beginning to flock to the standard of
fashion in town. The boxes were well attended]
and so was the pit. The Opera and Ballet as
before, La Clemenza di Tile and The Carnival
(!t* Venice. We find that Le Gana Ladra is to
introduce Signor Poa'ro, who has a high reputa-
tion abroad ; but, what is somewhat surprising,.l
Signor DE BEGNIS, who was engaged us a 13uji),1
is to assume in that Opera the serious character of
the father. The Manager, it seems, in full con-
fidence of his talents for the pathetic line, had
before requested him to undertake it; the Signor
however declined a province so different, from
that for which he was engaged, but at length, for
the interest of the Theatre, has assented.

decreased,—and in conclusion he made some
allusion to the County Presentments, B‘c.—
