ILLNESS OF MR. CANNING.

It is under feelings of emotion, which no lan-
guage can describe, that we have to announce
that Mr. CANNING has been seized with a se-
vere and alarming illness, and that his life is con-
sidered by his professional attendants to be in
imminent danger.

It appears that the Right Hon. Gentleman
has been occasionally unwell for three weeks,
and that his indispositjon much increased on
Saturday and Sunday se'nnight, notwithstanding
which he attended his MAJESTY at the Royal
Lodge at Windsor on Monday. On Tuesday
he transacted business in town; but symptoms of
inflammation manifested themselves on Thurs-
day, and became more violent on Friday
and Saturday.• The severity of the attack,
yesterday morning, was for- a moment dimi-
nished, but the symptoms again became
so much worse last night, that the Physicians
declared in their evening 'Bulletin that they con-
sidered his life to be in danger. The Bulle-
tin issued at eight o'clock this morning stated
that Mr. CANNING had bad some sleep dur-
ingthe•nigia, but continued in the same danger,
and we deeply lament to add that no accounts of a
more consolatory nature had reached town, at two
o'ClOck this afternoon ; though up to that hour,
we learn that the patient had not lost any further
ground. It is impossible for us in the present
agitated state of our
,feelings, to contemplate the
consequences which might ensue to this country
and the whole civilized world, if the calamity
with which we are so fearfUlly threatened should
actually befall this nation. The death of Mr.
CANNING at this moment, when he had but
just emancipated his SOVEREIGN , from the
shackles which a powerful faction had endea-
voured to throw round- his Councils, and
when the measures which his' enlightened and
liberal policy had given birth 'to' were just about
to be carried into effect, would indeed be a catas-
trophe of the most afflicting nature. That it may be
averted we most earnestly pray. The following
is the bulletin which appeared this morning :-
44 Clusivicx, AUG. 6, 8 A.M.
• • " Mr. CANNING has had some sleep, at intervals, during
the night, but his danger is still imminent.
" Signed by the Physicians."

44' Mr. CANNING for the last three weeks has
been much indisposed. On Saturday and Sun-
day se'nnight, this indisposition increased, not-
withstanding which, Mr. CANNING waited on
his MAJESTY, at the Royal Lodge, on Monday
last. On Tuesday he came to town and trans-
acted business at his house in Downing-street.
On Thursday he became so much worse that he
was confined to his bed with symptoms of in-
flammation, which in the course of Friday and
Saturday, became more urgent."

SUN OFFICE, Seven o'Ctock.

No further information respecting Mr. CAN-
NING'S health has been received at the Treasury
up to the above hour.

The Duke of Marlborough packet has ar-
'rived with a Lisbon mail. She sailed from the
Tagus on the 22d ult., but brings nothing iin-
'portant. The Experimental Spadron, under
Rear Admiral SIR THOMAS HARDY, arrived
!there on the 19th, and were refitting. It was
;supposed that they.had received sealed orders for
, , . .
itneir further destination, and it - was expected

that they would sail soon after the departure of
the packet.

Megara with 1000 men.
The intelligence from Madrid is to the 26th

These Papers express themselves m a tone• of
exultation at the arrangements in the formation
of the new Ministry, and state, that from their
hearts they congratulate the West Indians
on the accession of the Right •Hon. F. J.

They also picture in glowing language the valuable
trade which is likely to take place between the
Islands and the British North American Colonies.

We received this morning Brussels Papers of

BRUSSELS, AUG. 2.

Yesterday, about noon, various reports were, in circula-
tion in the city respecting an accident which had happened
in the night to her Majesty the Queen. The following bul-
letin was published at half-past one :
" Her Majesty the Queen having struck against a piece
of furniture in her apartments, had a fall, and bi-oke one of
her ribs on the right side. Her Majesty's situation at pre-
sent gives no ground fur alarm.
" Aug. 1, 1827." " D. EVERARD.

" Her Majesty the Queen, has slept during a greater
part of the night, and has had no fever.

" D. EVERARD.

" Aug. 2, 1827."

h is said that her Majesty, having taken a bath at a
very late hour in the evening, met with this accident
while she was alone in her room.

It is added, that at first her Majesty was so little aware
of the injury, that she went to bed, thinking it was only
a trifle; and that it was not till two hours afterwards that
the Princess Marianne, hearing her move, went into the
Apartment of her august mother, and persuaded her to send
for the physicians, M. Everard, who was called in im—
mediately, discovered what was the matter.
An express was directly sent to the King, who, it is sup-
') osY'el's Yesterday evening,
iilbe a
hereto-r
o.'clock, two expresses were
despatched, one to the King, the other to Berlin.

His Majesty arrived at the Palace of Lacken this morn-
ing, at nine o'clock.. His suite is expected in the afternoon.
The public feel great interest in the situation of the
Queen.. A great many persons went yesterday to Lackey,
to inquire after her health.

We understand that of the Russian fleet

only, and some frigates, are to proceed to the
Mediterranean. The remainder of the ships re-
turn to Cronstadt.

Letters from La Guayra, of the 23d of June, have been
received in town. The intelligence brought by them is,
that on the 17th of that month General 'Bolivar issued a
Proclamation to the people of Colombia, calling upon them
to rally round him, and enable him to arrest the fearful
anarchy and evils which threatened the Colombian nation.
Stime accounts are also said to have been received from
Guyaquil, which state that Gen. Bustamente had caused
that province to make a declaration of independence of Co-
lombia; and that it was the intention of the people to at-
tach themselves to the Government of Peru.

THE FUNDS--(THIS DAY).

CITY, TWELFB o'CLoCK.

Nothing shews the state of public feeling in the
City more than the intense anxiety which has pre-
vailed all the morning up to the above hour, relative
to the state of Mr. Canning's health. The alarm-
ing Bulletin of yesterday morning had, in fact, pre-
pared us, in some measure, for a result the most
distressing, and before the opening of the Stock Ex- •
change reports were current that this popular Mi-
nister was 110 more. The Royal Exthange has had
numerous visitors, where nothing but. the enquiry of
Air. Canning's health was spoken of, and their coun-
tenances sheaved the interest they took in his alarm-
ing state. ,As soon as the house opened, the dealers
and jobbers made a complete pause, and no price,
could be made in Consols but between 87 and 88;
the first business done was at the former rate, but
they want down to 86f immediately after, the mar-
ket then took a turn, and several heavy . purchases
took place at 864 7, and the price eventually reached -
fin, buyers. Notwithstanding a report of the im-
provement in the health of the Minister this morn-
ing the agitation still continues extremely great, and
Consols fluctuate violently and have gone back to
the present price. lndia Bonds are 91 3;,
and Exchequer Bills, 60 1 premium.
The chief attention of the speculators has been
dedicated to the English Funds, but the Foreign
Funds have also been much affected by their fall,
and have all exhibited signs of a reduction :—Bra-
zilian Stock are 61 5; Buenos Ayres, 61 3; Co-
lombian, 301 1 ; Danish, 62 3; Mexican went: to
67-i, but have since rallied to 68 1. There is not the
smallest attention paid to Shares, and nothing in the
shape. of business can be quoted.
Three per Cent. Consols, 87/1 ; Ditto for Account,
87i 4 ; India Bonds, 91 3 pm.; Exchequer Bills, 60 t pm.
Tleo o' CLOCK.
•

The numerous reports on the subject of Mr.
Canning's health continue, and are at considerable
variance. Consols are in a state of much fever; they
got upto 87i; and again went back to 86k, sellers,
but are now buyers; Exchequer Bills 57 premium;
Colombian Bonds have gone down to 291 30;

BARKER V. RAY.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR gave judgment as to the
costs In this cause. He was of opinion that the
plaintiff ought to pay no costs up to the time of
the defendant's answer being put in. He must,
however, bear all the subsequent costs, both
of the issue and of the depositions. On exa-
mining the depositions on the part of the defend-
ant, they did not appear to his Honourito contain so
very much irrelevant matter as he at first suposed.
The story of Nanny Hamks running round the hay-
stack_ was tp be sure not very_ material, but then it
was very short. The depositions of the plaintiff's
oivn witnesses on the other hand; were filled with
What in the end amounted to nothing more than the
reputation of the country as to the manner in which-
theproperty was to go.
