THE KING.

Although it is our painful duty to announro that
the KING suffers much from want of sleep, still we Lave
the consolation to add that his MAJESTY'S state WR.i
yesterday somewhat improved. The latest account,. from
Windsoi are rather of an encouraging description, such as
to induce a hope that a KING so deservedly beloved by
his subjects, and whose reign is identified with thu
brightest page of British glory, will yet survive to enjoy
the gratification arising from the attachment of a grateful
people, so forcibly displayed at present throughout tho
land.

The Duke of CUKIERLAND, after having an interview with HiA
MAJESTY on Sunday afternoon, left the Palace between sir and
seven o'clock in the evening, and returned to his residence at Kew.
Viscount COMIERICERE (late Commander-in-Chief of the Forces
in India) arrived at the Palace ylbterday afternoon ; and made his
personal enquiries after the health of the Kixo. The Physicians
remained as usual in waiting on the Kiva during the day.—
Sir HENRY has now been in attendance during uine days.—
The Butktut was shown at the KING'S Palate, St. James's, to the
nobility and gentry. Lord CLINTON was the Lord in Waiting;
Sir THOMAS HAMMOND, the Equerry in Waiting; and General
Furcu, the Groom in Waiting.—Among the company were : Mt.
ADAMS, the late President of America; the LORD CHIEF BA.
sox; the LORD PROVOST of Glasgow; the KING'S ADVO.
CATE ; the ATTORNEY-GENERAL ; and the Passing:yr of the
Royal Academy.

---"Vi-DTosoa. MONDAY NOON.

Reports have been very gloomy this morning. Those who dare
open their mouths, say the Kura is much worse to.day than he was
yesterday. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE has :been sent for tweet's
from Hanover ; and there is even some intention of sending for ano-
ther:Royal Duke, who has not been at Courtier some yeah by-gone.
These were the whispered reports of this morning ; for the lieges of
Windsor, and its vicinity, are not favoured with tt.e bulletin of the
physicians respecting his MAJESTY'S health until that bulletin has
been first pasted on the outer walls of St. James's Palace, and dis.
played In the Presence Chamber for perusal in London.

Notwithstanding the mystery which veils the bulletins of tl:c
KING'S health, we have tolerable authority—amidst the doubt
which hangs over the public mind as to the specific tvt.
cure of his MAJESTY'S disease—for asserting that lie
suffering under angina pectoris, cc water on the chest. Ts.:
former is a disease at all times attended with a consider-
able degree of :danger, and in most cases it depends up,:i
an ossification of the coronary arteries; and when this is the
cue, it is evident no permanent cure can be effected. The embar-
rassment in His MAJESTY'S breathing is a characteristic symptom
of this disease, as well as of hydro-thorax, or water on the chest.
The individual suffering in both cases may have his life prolonged
for a period by tranquillity awl diet, and we trust such may be the
CAW with His MAJESTY--Tines.
