the issuing of to-day's Bulletin, giving, we regret to say,
a most unfavourable account of the health of our beloved

SOVEREIGN.

The Form of Prayer for the restoration of the health
of OUr most gracious SOVEREIGN was read yesterday
in the several churches of the metropolis. It breathes
most solemn piety, conveyed in elegant simplicity of lan-
guage, and, as a composition, reflects the highest honour
on the style and feelings of the Most Reverend Prelate
from whom it issued. It was received with that marked
attention due to a Monarch lying os a bed of sickness
from a loyal and affectionate people. We cannot but
express our regret that such a solemn and affect-
ing appeal, concerning the indisposition of his Ma-
jesty, should have been so long delayed. It argues
either an unwarrantable supineness on those who are in
authority, or a mystical concealment under which the
nation ought not to have laboured. It is far from our
intention to inoulpate, in the slightest degree, the vene-
rable Prelate in whose province it peculiarly rested to
prepare welt a form of prayer, but we do most strongly
animadvert upon a proceeding which reflects so much
upon the apathy and unaccountable silence as to the
true nature and actual statement of his Majesty's pro-
tracted and most lamented malady.

This day despatches were received at the Foreign
Offira from Lord STUART DE ROTBSAT, OUT Ambas-
sador at Paris, and from Sir CHARLES BAooT, our
Ambassador at the Hague.
Despatches were likewise received at the Colonial
Office from Jamaica, dated the 20th of April; from
Corfu, dated the 4th ; from WM, AP 803; and from
Gibraltar the 18th of May.

The most important portionof the papers presented by I
Lord Ais s nnEEN on Friday night will be found in another
page; and, as we said on Saturday, deserve to be read
with the utmost attention, since it is on the facts they set
forth that the merits of the whole question concerning
Prince I.toPOLD'S relltignatiOn melt be decided! Wile"
such documents as the despatches of Count CAPODIII-
- and the memoir of the Greek Senate can be re-
ferred to, we think it quite !medium to go back to an
earlier period of the negotiations to find a cause for the
step adopted by the Prince. If, u the documents un-
equivocally prove, his assumption of the sovereignty
Would, under existing circumstances, be hateful to
the Greek people, and perhaps provoke their re-
sistance, there le not surely a single individual
in England, unfettered by party, who will say fitft the
Prince had auy other altignetire than the one he ;The
adopted. Perfectly indifferent M this matter ae it re-
lates to the penotial interests of NW*. I•I9POLD, 110
