'hat is the cause In your opinion subsiitiin in
constitution, )ithich r.nders him liah.e
cflcse atta4 ot tnental ,erangerheeit is a
1,11411 iiy oi. cot4t,itution, of which I can give no

et akcount...
t you give any distino account of the- cause
I the accession of fever which sotnetimes attens
men'al derangement of his Majesty ?—ln the
siders which his Maiesty has had similor to t;,e
C.
sent, and in the present disorder, the whole
P'tne has been more or less disordertd both _body
• mind.
• Can • you, corm any opinion of the cause of that
lit coneehe, with reference to the present
that the cause was certainly owing to his •
ajesty's anxiety on the subj4t of his daughter's
11
.ness ; that cause produced, from, the peculiarity
t • his Majesty's: constitution, the derangement both'
et body and mind which constitutes his present
%order.
Are you able to afford the Committee any'inforna-
-‘
d.ion,as to the peculiatity of. that constitution, in,
-hat consists'?—l conceive the peculiarity •to be
amply, that his Majesty has appeared rt'able to the
ttacks of. disorder similar to his, present,; but the
ause of his being liable I cannot at all assign. • .
Has the remission of the fever, after the laSt con- •
liderable access of the ,tlfsdrder, been as entire and
plete as after any former attack, in IhiS now sub-
3isti ag indisposition of his Majesty i—l consider the
present 'mission to bear date from the evening of
the 10th of this month ; during that inteiVal, from
the loth to the tune that I left his Majtsty yester-
day inothlng, I should conceive the' intermission is
as pert= ct as during the same number of'days in 'any
former intermission of his present illness;
Do you conceive the defect A -his Majesty's sight
fo be a circumstance tavourable or unfavourable to
his ultimate recovery ?—I should consider it as a
circumstance of inconvenience, but not a circum-
stance at •all prejudicial to i.is ultimate recovery.
Do-you conceive it to be a circumstance having
any influences upon the duration of his illness, and
tending villa to prolong or to ,horten it ?—I should
not coesider it likely either to prolong or to shorten
his-diners to such a period when MA Majesty was
`•

described, in my answer to a former question, to
have been considered capable of tran'sactin4 public ,
business ; atter that period I should -conceive it of
use to uts Majesty in. preventing the subsequent bur-
ties that were alluded to. , •
Is the Committee to understand you as saying,
that you consider the detect of 'his Majesty's
as a circumstance neither likely to retard nor 'likely
to accelerate. the period of his recovery, so as that
his Majesty Etl,lll ~rrive at that state which you call
fit one for the discharge of business %--1. conceit, e
it to be an indifferent circumstance as to that. •
You have Stated, that since you were examined
'bef ,re the Privy Council, his Majesty- has been
worse for a few days, and since then better again ?
-Yes.
It, the Committee to understand from that since
the ex..insination before the Privy Council, his-Ma-
jesty bus- bad a ..relai;se ? —Yes.
Stage tyliether, since -the telapse, or in. conse-
quence of that "elapse, you 'have the same confidence
alit] expedatlon of a speedy recovery that you had
beture.i—lt would nut alter my opinion of the pro-
bible tirrie of hig Majesty's: recovery, though I can'
hardly. pronounce it speedy.
Do-you know whether during the former attacks
of his Majesty, after any remission of the disorder,
there was any renewed increase 9f his illness
There have been several.
the apprehension of a recurrence of mental
malady in the mind of any patient after repeated
attacks, any and. what effect in producing the re- .
newal of such attack ?—I.I should conceive, an 'ap-
- prehension in the mind of the patient would not tend
. ,to produce any recurrence of the disorder. .
-; • Dors the advance of his 'Majesty's age, since his
first attack in t 789, increase or diminish your e-x-
-•prciation of his Majesty's ultimate recovery ?--Ab-
stractedly considered, his Majesty's greater age
would certainly be considered an unfavourable cir-
cumstance ; but when I have regard to the peculiar
ci cumstances of his Majesty's disorder, I think his
advanced age (Vies nut alfer my own expedation of
hiS ultimate recovery.
Would the greater pressnte of public business now
than in the year t7llB, have any and what effe6t, in
your opinion,.as to accelerating or retarding his
- Majesty's complete recovery ?—I really am not
competent to give any distinct answer -to that
question.
Do you think more or kss favourably -of the pro-
bable iss. e, of his Majesty's malkidy, from there be,
ing such an assignable cause for that malady as you
have stated ?--1 6116111 d think wore favourably.

Sir HENRY HALFORD, Bart. called in and
examined.

Has any amendment-already taken place in the
course of his I\4ajesty's disorder, and dues the, ap-
pearance.of such atc,endmertt continue at present
A very considerable amendment has taken place in
his Majesty's disorder since Its commencement. I
do not think his Majesty has -made much prowess
Within the last fortnight.
When did you last see the King::—This morning.
What was the state of the King, at that time
His Majesty had had _a quiet night,. and was coat-
posed in his conversation.
Do you think the King was better to-day than he
was yesterday ? think he was quite as well to-day
as he was yesterday.
Du yo' think there was any amendment to-day
from yesterday 'i—No 5 I think the King was much
the some to-day as he was ye ter day.
What symptoms were there to induce you to
think the disorder was,in the saute state as it was
yesterday, when the King bad had a quiet night,
and was composed ?—That was the case the greater
part of yesterday, though there were occasionally
moments of discomposure.
Was it the case yesteiday morning, that he was
composed 1.--,•No, not in the early part of the
morning. •
Have you seen any patients of the King's age,
afaideci with the same malady ?--Not precisely un-

}its MAJESTY has had a tolerable- good night,
Wand is etiuch the same, this morning as he was yes-
: rd ay .4.

We have-this day devoted a large portion
.of our
Paper to the Report of the Committee appointed by
the House of Commons to examine the Physicians
who are in attendance upon. His MAJESTY. The
Public wilJ• rejoice to find that the Physicians are
unanimous in their opinion with respect to His MA-
JESTY'S recovery.

We nederstand that though the principle and spi-
rit of the precedent of. 1788 will be followed in the
proposition fur supplying the deficiency in the Ex-
ecutive-power, yet that such modifications will take
place in the general arrangement as may naturally
be suggested by the lapse of time since that period
and the changes which have been produced in the
progress of events. The precedent alluded to was
founded upon such wise principles, and charatilerised
by such sound discretion, that we had little doubt
that it would be the governing spirit of the measures
-now to be brought forward ; at the same time we-
readily admit that such events have occurred, and
"such changes taken place, as may well warrant some
variation in the detail. .

Last night Frncli. arid Dutch Papers arrived...—
They contain aDe issued in Sweden against the
importation of English Colorl:al'Prodoce, but they
'bring no tears from Spain•or Portugal.

LUCIEN BUONAPARTE was to land yesterday at
Plymouth, with his family and suite. It has been
settled that he is to reside in Montgotneryshire,
Earl Yowls having offered, -through. the medium of
Government, his beautiful seat Linures for that pair-'
pose. The residence is a fine old castle, in thorough.
repair, with spacious' grounds, and every accommo-
dation for a large lamily. Mr. MACKENZIE, who
lately negociated for the exchange of prisoners, who
it seems, knew LUCIEN at Rome, is gone to Ply-
mouth for the purpose of apprizing the latter on
what terms he is to enj-y the i)rotection of the
British Government.
