LETTER FROM WINDSOR, TV ES DA Y, APRIL 20
Her Royal Highness the Duette... of GLOUCESTER left Lon
don this morning for Windsor Castle, to visit and inquire after
health of his MAJESTY. Htr Royal Highness proceeded as far st
Hounslow in her own carriage, At which place one of the limo%
carriages was in attendance to convey the Royal Duchess to Wind-
sor. Her Royal Highness arrived at the Castle at twelve o'clock,
and was introduced to his MAaierrY, and continued her visit until
three, at which time her Royal Highness returned in one of the
Kora's carriages to Hounslow, and from thence in her own to
London."

It is understood that the Duke of WELLINGTON ex-
pressed his high displeasure—but in his usual placid and gentle
manner—that the medical attendants upon the king should have
presumed to Witte a bulletin respecting his Majesty's health without
having previously received his grace's command ; and the noble
duke peremptorily ordered all further bulletins to be instantly dis-
continued ; thus marking his haughty indifference to the anxious
fears of a loyal and attached people for the safety of their beloved sove-
reign. The alarming illness of the king was first announced to the na.
lion, and most properly announced, by his majesty's medical atten.
dents, the only source on which reliance can be placed ; and if, as we
devoutly pray, the king's health should be restored, it is due to the
country--and the country demands it—that tidings, rejoicing thi
heart of every Englishman, shall be confirmed through the same
legitimate source—the king's physician—and that the fears and
hopes of an affectionate people shall not be left either to the " Court
Circular," a sort of nondescript, and still less to the Courier, which
studiously trades every approach to truth.—Morniny Journal.

On this interesting topic one thing seems undeniable
—either that no bulletin should have been issued, or, that one hay.
ing been found mummy, a further daily official announcement

should have taken place, till all cause of apprehension had been set
at rest by authority ; and this was and is the more necessary, from
the equivocal, not to say alarming, teems in which the bulletin of
Thursday was worded. Besides the feelings of personal ir.
tercet towards the &Azimut, which arc as universal u they
are justly merited, the mode in which the public are affected
in various ways by the uncertainty which pervades the subject,
is most serious and important. To look only to the Stock
Exchange—there the public securities are kept in a most
fluctuating and feverish state, which, if it affected only the gamblers
in the market, would not be of so much consequence, though even
in that respect it is to be lamented that gambling should thrive o:,
such a topic. But besides this, the moment is most critical to what
is called the spring trade of the country, the progress of which sr
alarm of the nature alluded to paralyses to an extent which none
but those who are engaged in it an in any degree calculate. The
topic, therefore, is one en which no degree of uncertainty should be
allowed to prevail ; and, were it only to stop the hundred tongues
of Rumour, an authentic and responsible announcement should
either quiet or confirm the alarm which the same source has crested.
