MiDSLICIUR DAT.-HDUJDAY AT ?MT PUBLIC Oman.

We are deeply grieved in communicating to the pub-
lic, this day, the most intelligible and mournful bulletin
which has yet appeared on His MAJESTY'S lamented
indisposition. It is to the following effect :

"WINDSOR CASTLE, JUNE 24, 1830.

" The. KING'S cough continues, with considerable ex-
pectoration. His MAJESTY has slept at intervals, in
the night; but complains of great languor to-day.

(Signed)

" HENRY HALFORD.

44 MATTHEW J. TIERNEY."

We have this day been furnished with a copy of the
t neral regulations and instructions relative to Crown
Lands at Swan River, received by the last arrival.—
They are of very great importance to all those emigrating
to that quarter ; but they are of such great length, that
e cannot to-day attempt even a brief analysis of them.

The estafette from Paris, this morning, brings no ad-
ditional accounts of the progress of the African expedi-
tion. Among other extraneous pieces of information, we
find in the French papers an interesting statistical ac-
count of the exports and imports of France, from 1716
to 1820, excluding the years from 1790 to 1797, of
which no authentic document exists. It appears that the
xrorts, for 106 years, amount to 11,993,318,494, and
the imports to 10,207,123,681—being an excess of the
former of 1,786,194,813. The annual excess of ex-
ports is about 16,8.50,995 over the imports.

We have letters this day from Constantinople, by the
Turkey mail, to the 26th of last month. These advices
state that no confirmation of the reported piracies had
been received there ; and that in consequence the insu-
rance companies had taken off the additional rates they
had demanded on the faith of the rumours: at the same
time, returning the extra-premiums which they had con-
ditionally received. The flag of the Prophet was carried,
a few• days previously, with great ceremony, from Ramis
Tachelick to the Seraglio—the SULTAN, and his grand
officers of State following in the procession. The Su L-
TA x afterwards set out for Terapia, where he intended to
pass the summer; and the Grand I .IZIER had been or-
dered to Albania to put down the disturbances.

When we have lately called the attention of our
Readers to the rumours regarding the present state of
parties in Parliament, we have argued that any coalition
or amalgamation, as it has been termed, between the
two main branches of those who now occasionally marshall
together, in opposition to the wishes of Government,
was very improbable. That line of argument did not
exclude the possibility of the present Administration ab-
stracting to itself individuals from either party—provided
they found it their interest so to do; and we cer-
tainly should, if going more minutely into the character,
and party, tendencies, of the component portions of
the present Opposition, have pointed out certain indi-
viduals as not unlikely to be taken into the Administra-
tion to increase its influence. Perhaps, indeed, we might
have mentioned that there were individuals, who, from
having already acted together in office, and from their
general accordance of political opinion, formed a kind of
separate subdivision of the opposition, or a party in itself,
to which the administration might, as far as political
principle would govern their decision, look with some
hopes of success for recruits ; and we are now
inclined to think, from a paragraph yesterday in a
Journal, for the veracity of which we certainly
have an ancient favourable pre-possession, and the
information of which, on such subjects, is, in general,
good, that such an accession to the strength of Adminis-
tration is not improbable to occur, as no distant event.
The sub-division, or small party, to which we allude,
our readers will at once recognize as formed of those in-
dividuals who have acted before with Mr. Hcsicissow ;
who have assisted in all the acts which formed the cha-
racter of the Administrations in which he took a part; and
who are supposed to look towards him; as still a political
chief or leader. It is well known tbat between that Gentle-
man and the Duke of WELLINGTON, circumstances had
occurred which the public supposed might have been suffi-
cientto occasion for ever an alienation in personal regard;
but experience shows us, that such differences among
Statesmen often yield to the expediency of the times ;
and a vindication to the public of such reconciliation,
if at all thought necessary, is always ready in the respect-
able motive which is, in poetry, at least, if not in prose,
supposed to actuate all Statesmen—the paramount desire
to sacrifice their personal objections to what appears for
the welfare of the State, in the government of which they
patriotically employ their exertions.
The party of individuals to which we refer, as far as
the public interests are concerned, may be considered
as a useful addition to the business qualities of the
Administration. Mr. C. GRANT and Lord PALMERS-
TON both stand justly fair in the public estimation ; and so
should WHIM( msow,with every well-informed reasoner
on the lice of policy which has become almost identified
with his name. He is not, however, popular with the
unfortunate merchant and ship-owner; for they forget
that a sequence in human events, does not always prove a
