LONDON.

MONDAY, MAY 24.

THE KING.

it is again our painful duty to say, that this day's
lulletin is far from being favourable. Considering the
Ira tire of the disease under which his MAJESTY is suf-
fering„ we confess that we are more afflicted than sur-
prized at these fluctuations in the condition of the Royal
Patient. Let us hope, however, that the apprehensions,
n•s to a protracted illness, so generally entertained last
week, may not be realized.

" WINDSOR CASTLE, MAY 24, 1830.
The Kixc 's symptoms continue the same. His
MAJESTY has passed a sleepless night.

This day Despatches were received at the Foreign
Office, in Downing-street, from his Excellency Lord
STUART DE ROTHSAY, our Ambassador at Paris; and
from Sir CHARLES BAGOT, our Ambassador at the
Hague.

It would appear that the rumours so confidently cir-
culated on the Continent, during the last month, relative
to Prince LEOPOLD'S resignation of the Greek Sove-
reignty, have at length burst forth in England, and in
such a way, as to leave no doubt of their authenticity.
Disappointed as the friends of Greece must feel at
this resolution on the part of the Prince, it will
redound greatly to his honour, if it has arisen from
the objections of the Prince to the restricted limits
proposed by the Allies. In one of the first general views
taken of the question of limits, in the columns of this
Paper, we not only endeavoured to prove, that the
line from Volo to Arta was absolutely essential
to the existence of the new State, but that the
exclusion of Candia would be a never-ending source
of complaint and contention, both among the Greeks
themselves, and the Allied Powers. The letter
which we published on the 15th inst. from our Cores-
pondent at Napoli di Romania, will have shewn our
readers that the sentiments of the Greeks on the subject
of the boundary line, are still precisely as we have so
often stated. " The line from Volo to Arta," says our
Napoli Correspondent, " was so well adapted to ensure
tranquillity and the pacification of Greece, that it is to
be regretted any motives could have induced the Powers
to change their original intention in that respect. The
line agreed upon is one which offers no means of defence :
forty thousand men could not guarantee it against an
attack, whereas the line from Volo to Arta would re-
quire only small garrisons at the Thermopyks, Agrapha,
and Macrinoros," Under these circumstances, we
trust that the Allies, who have already done so much for
Greece, will not haggle about a few hundred square
miles of territory, more especially, since an insecure
boundary would destroy the whole plan, and be as in-
jurious to Turkey as the people whose destinies they
have undertaken to regulate.

In the event of the obstacles which have induced
Prince LEOPOLD to resign, becoming insuperable, we
cannot too earnestly recommend Ministers to look out for
such a candidate as we have so frequently pointed out,
namely, a man who shall combine military and political
talents in a high degree. We do not, with our long per-
sonal acquaintance with the Greek people and their cause,
believe it possible for an inexperienced ruler to assume
the reins of the new government with any fair chance of
success. •

It is proposed to forma Society to be called " The
National Colonization Society," for the purpose of die-
burthening the country of its present excessive popula-
tion, and enabling the remainder to live in comfort. The
means for the attainment of this desirable consummation
are developed in the following resolutions to be submitted
to a public meeting iu the course of the present week.

" 11. litesolved—That it is desirable to relieve the emu of po-
pulation in proportion to employment existing in this country, and,
at the acme time, to supply the urgent demand for labour in the
colonies, by a well.regulated system of emigration and colonisation.
,4 111. Resolved—That the most efficaciousurods of carrying into
etas these purposes of the Society, is-1. By a selection of emi.
grams, whereby the grestsitamount of prearoadva power would
emigrate at the least expense, that is, in the least number of per-
.ases. 2. By coneentration of colonists, whereby, through division
d labour, and cossequent accumulation of wealth, the greatest
