--The Morning Papers of this clay con-
tained a statement (copied from, an Evening Paper) that his
.MAJESTY
,is . confined at the Royal Lodge .by a severe tit of
the gout. llis+Majesty is certainly :not so well as we could
wish, having taken a slight cold,either from his journeyto the
Metropolis on Wednesday last,-or during his airing on Thurs-
day in the Great-Park. This alone has been the cause of his
Majesty's confinement; and we have every reason to hope that
a few days will restore him to perfect health. Her Royal
Highness the Princess-Augusta took an- airing yesterday fore-
noon, 'through 'llatchet, Upton, and Slough, and returned
through Windsor, accompanied by her Lady in Waiting.
