OUR AFFLICTED MONARCH.--011 this subject
the public have not for some time past been put
in possession'of any particulars, I,4eyond the for-
Ina' announcement in the monthly bulletins. The
follown,;7 circumsteMCCS, tviiditlg so far as our
theans' extend, to sulOy ~the omit.sion, will, it
is hoped, prove acceptable. His MAJESTY'S ha-
bits have not, in conseipience of infirmity, or
old age,
,undergone material change. His
4E5]l, aS usnal, rises early—nrealihsts at eight
O'clock, or soon after-dines ai one—coritinues
partial to mutton and beef, and when in a tran-
quil state, he. orders what his dinner table shall
he furnished With. The principal page is In con-•
stant attendance, as also the subaltern assistants
rd the medical men. .A sunk walk has been made
tiljoining the KING'S suit of rooms ; but latterly
his MAJksTlr; it is said, has declined walking
there, alleging that it would be no gratifica'ion
to him, as he is deprived of sight. The rooms
that 'his MAJESTY and attendants occupy consist
of thirteen, and they are extremely well ventilated.
When the QUEEN is at Windsor, her MAJESTY,
attended by Dr. JOHN 'Wn.t.ts, generally 'visits her
consort about ten o'clock.

BUONAPARTE.—Tbe Lucy anti Maria, recently
ittived at Pot tsmcn!h, ir ft .St Helena on the I jih
Of June. The Litc/I/Campfmn; from lied al and
lqadras, was
,to Sail on the, 20th. 1360tqA,PARTE
‘y as well. He had lately r'eceivcd a bust of his
sou, which atiordpl him much evident satisfaction.
11 was given in charge to a sailor,, of the ship
aring (it was believed), who, upon his arrival
ht the Island, was to concert the 'most prudent
li)eans of conveying it to its destination. The
lban became dangerously ill, before the 'oppor-
t'imity of executing his secret cointnisiou pre-
rieuted itself ; and sending for his commanding
Officer, he revealed the circumstance to hint. The
host was thereupon seat to 'Sir HUDSON; LOWE,
Ivh6, treating the matter lightly, though BUONA-
I'ARTE had long 'refused to he on terms of even
Courteous civility with him, instantly caused it to,
he conveyed' to bins. There appears no relaxa-
linn whatever in the, belief of the Commanders,
tl~ It IJS
BUONAPAR4'E'S object and c) tan t
Lope are, to get away from the Island. His
I,leidth had improved of late : he spends most. of
qis time at his billiard-table.

By accounts received direct from Vera Cruz,
gated the 25th of May, we understand that as soon
43 the Governor of that place beard of Mitqa's
t4king Soto la Marina, be dispatched all.the dis-
ksable 'force he had, consisting of three vessels,
11'106 surpnized and captured the naval force
'Olll wliich the General and his enterprising
fit)rce had landed. MiNA, therefore, now finds
in the. exact situation in which Coal-Es
tl placed, when he burnt all his transports in
tie harbour of Vera Cruz, and he will feel him-
if compelled to abandon .the coast, and push
hiqu the interior.
11Viseount iNleLvuta is at Cowes, Isle of
ight.
Nit% CROKER, Secretary to the Admiralty, is at
kYde, Isle of Wight, where he is expected to re-
