THE KING.

" WINDSOR CASTLE, Max 27, 1830.
" The KING slept well last night, and his MAJESTY
feels himself rather better to-day.
(signed) " HENRY HALFORD.

" MATTHEW J. TIERNEY."

This day at one o'clock a Privy Council assembled at
the Council Office, in Downing-street, and continued in
deliberation tilll near two o'clock. All the Members, in-
cluding the Archbishop of CANTERBURY and YORK,
were present. At three o'clock a Cabinet Council met
at the Foreign Office, and was also numerously attended.

A highly important conversation took place in the
House of Lords last night, on the subject of Prince
LEOPOLD'S resignation; important not merely as it
regards this event, but as affording a strong indication of
the line intended to be pursued by that portion of the
House to whom the country still looks for a vigilant care
of its interests, both at home and abroad.

From the explanations given by Lord DURHAM, it
would appear that it was in consequence of despatches
received from Count CA PO D'lsriu*s declaring the
" determination of the Greek Senate and people, never
to consent to the arrangement attempted to be forced
upon them by the Allied Sovereigns," the Prince had de-
cided
on resigning. As there seems to be no doubt of
this fact, it certainly gives a totally new turn to the whole
affair ; and so far from our censuring the step taken by the
Prince, we now think it entitled to the highest commen-
dation; for to have summed the reins of Government over a
people who considered themselves as sacrificed by the very
e:,binets which had nominated the Prince, would have
Ix en little better than an act of madness. As Lord ABER-
nEEN has promised to lay the whole of the papers re-
lative to the resignation before the House to-morrow
night, we shall suspend our private opinion till they
are produced. In the meantime, the active and de-
cid( d part taken in the conversation last night by
Lords GREY and HOLLAND, cannot fail greatly to
intluence the judgment of the public. In reply to the
allusion made by the Duke of WELLINGTON, to the
frequency of asking questions in the House, and ac-
companying them with speeches, Lord HOLLAN D not
only vindicated the conduct of Prince LEOPOLD, but
Mainly assured the Foreign Secretary that " abundant
opportunities would offer, and be taken, for discussing
this question more fully."
Referring to some observations in the Times of this
looming, it is but fair to acknowledge, that whatever
Piiiice LEOPOLD might have admitted before the receipt
,:f the despatches, the declaration contained in them, fully
ju,tities his recent determination. It should also be
borne in mind, that he insisted as much as he could, with
decorum, on the line from Arta to Volo, in his commu-
nication of February 11th. With regard to the boun-
uuty established by the Ambassadors at Constantinople,
Anl which will be found in one of the documents we
publish this day, it is most remarkable that they should
not have foreseen the effect it would produce on the
:lauds of the Greeks. A glance at the map will prove
tr the most superficial observer, that while Prevesa with 11
tine Port and the Gulf of Arta are in the bands of
the lurks, there can be no security for their former
`•ts-iris who inhabit the right bank of the Aspropotamos.
%ete this rection of the new line ceded, we do not think
my serious objection would be raised to that of the Sper-
,:hius, provided, however, that Zeitoun is taken in, this
iortress being quite essential to the protection of the
ttreek frontier. By adhering to the present line, we
tear that both Zeitoun and Petradgik would be
4!xeluded. Some of the most sanguinary conflicts
Which have marked the course of the war, took place in
the last named town and district. In expressing our
oanxious hopes that the allies may accede to the wishes so
loudly expressed by the Greeks, it is of course su-
Pectinous to inform Miuistep, that three fourths of the

people occupying the territory betxveen Arta and the
mouth of the Sperchius, are Greeks.

A Morning Contemporary, anticipating an event which
the country would deeply deplore, has put forward an ar-
ticle, calling the attention of the public to the course
which, in such case, it may be necessary to pursue with
respect to an illustrious individual, in the direct line of
succession to the throne. It states, that on the death of
FREDERICK, Prince of Wales, in the life-time of his
father GEORGE 11. a Regency was immediately appointed
to his MAJESTY'S grandson, a minor, now become Heir
Apparent, afterwards GEORG E HI. From thence it would
infer that a like course should be adopted in the event of the
Princess VICTORIA being placed in a similar situa-
tion. " Take time by the forelock" may be a very wise
proverb, but advice may be premature as well as too late.
There may he also subjects, the discussion of which
motives of delicacy and respect should restrain, where
such motives do not interfere with any great and im-
portant interests. Of this description we consider
the case now brought forward, regarding it not only
as premature, but also as unnecessarily distracting the
public mind at this particular moment. Although the
factions which afflicted the early part of the reign of
GEORGE the 111. had not come to full maturity in the
reign of his predecessor, they had acquired sufficient
strength to shed a baneful influence over its close, but
we do not see in the state of parties, or in the temper of
the nation, any reason to indulge the gloomy anticipa-
tions of our contemporary, should a time arise for the ap-
pointment of a regency in the case of her Royal Highness
the Princess Vic-mat A. With the precedent that has
been cited for a guide, we apprehend no very extraordi-
nary divisions and heart-burnings, such as those we are
threatened with. If the Duke of CUMBERLAND, as our
contemporary justly observes, son of the reigning king,
covered with the laurels of Culloden, the especial fa-
vourite of his father, and at the head of a powerful party
in Parliament, was defeated in his eager attempts
to be placed at the head of the regency, and
the mother of the royal minor was appointed to that
place, who could hope to successfully contest that
distinction with the mother of the illustrious
Princess now coming forward in life ? The mother is
the natural guardian, whose fidelity, care, and disin
terestedness, are beyond suspicion.—But of all candidates
for the trust, the history of England should teach us to
beware of an uncle, particularly should that uncle himself
be in the line of succession to the throne. His ap-
pointment would be to commit the lamb to the
wolf. What a kind and affectionate friend did King Jon x
prove to his nephew, Prince ARTHUR, whose throne he
usurped; and bow conscientiously the Duke of GLou-
c ESTER discharged the duties of guardian to his nephews
EDWARD V. and the Duke of YORK, their tragic deaths
can tell. Who then is to set aside the maternal rights
here preferred ? The peculiar situation of his Royal
Highness Prince LEOPOLD, would free him from the
objections which would apply with such overwhelm-
ing force to the appointment of a paternal rela-
tive ; indeed, next to the mother of the Royal Infant,
there is not perhaps a more eligible person : but
the distinction intended for his Royal Highness, shows
that he never contemplated that office. The Minister
himself surely could not aspire to it. His fall would
be as certain as the fall of the great Duke of Sost ERSET.
No, bold and able as he is, he will not be mad enough
to attempt that. He will play a surer game. He is
now arrived at an age when a dozen yeas more of
power may satisfy his ambition, and it is not likely that
he should risk every thing for more remote prospects.
The correspondence between the Marquis of BLAND-
FORD and Mr. HUNT having closed this day, we have
felt ourselves called on to give the whole series a
place in the columns of the Star. The motives for
placing this unpleasant discussion before our readers, is
two-fold—first, a desire to vindicate the character for
consistency as to those principles which were professed
in bur public Address of July last; and secondly, our
resolution to maintain the strictest impartiality through-
out the dispute.

In theobservationsdrawn from us on the 18th inst. when
our attention was called to Mr. H trx•r's first letter, we
candidly stated, that it was purely from a conviction
that the Marquis of BLA DFOU I) had come forward
to advocate those reforms which are considered essentia
to the future well-being and prosperity of the Empire,
that he was encouraged to proceed in his praiseworthy
career by the conductors of the STA R. We are now jus-
tified in stating, that whatever relaxation may have taken
place in those exertions which we were foremost in pane-
gyrising, we have kept the even tenour of our way,
through good and evil report, without swerving, for an
instant, from those principles which were laid down as our
future rule of action, in the public address alluded to.
Our grand object in having noticed the correspon-
dence, being, as we hope, fully achieved by the foregoing
declaration, we forbear from entering into details which,
however painful or important to our personal feelings,
could not interest the public, except indeed, so far as
they might be supposed to influence the existence of a
pure and disinterested organ of sound political prin-
ciples. We cannot close these cursory remarks without
publicly expressing the hope we have frequently put
forth in private, that any differences which may have
arisen between those who have either actually promoted
the interests of the STAR, or promised it their support,
will be amicably adjusted.

We this day give the conclusion of " Mr. CA NI BRE.-
LENG'S Report to the American Congress." At the
first glance of that series of articles, in the Tyne Mer-
cury, we perceived their importance, and accordingly
adopted them ; although none of our contemporaries
—either in town or country, to far as we have been able
to discover, attached the least consequence to them. We
have to state, that though we inadvertently omitted to
state our obligations to the Messieurs MITCHELL, of
Newcastle-upon-Tyne,`these gentlemen might have easily
