THE KING.

WlNnson, JAN. 5, TEN °Twat. —Yesterday being
the day for the Quarterly Report to be made by the
Queen's Council on the state of his MAJESTY'S indis-
position, dl the Membersassembled by half past eleven
o'clock. They sat in consultation together till past
one o'clock, during which time it was supposed they
drew up a mitt of questions to be put both to the re-
gular Doctors and the mental practitioners, on the ac-
tual state of his MAJESTY'S health.
The medical men were called into the Council in
the following order :—First, Dr. MONROE, and • then
Dr. SIMMONS, the two visiting practitioners who
came every alternate week. Then the physicians of
the KING'S person, Sir HENRY HALFORD,Dr. BAILLIE,
and Dr. HEBERDEN. Afterwards Dr. JOHN WILLIS,
Dr. ROBERT WILLIS, and lastly, Mr. DUNDAS, the
surgeon. The questions, :ix in number, were put to
them severally, and after they had given their an-
swei s viva voce, they were desired to give in their
answers in writing, for which purpose they were fur-
nished with copies of the questions. This they all
did without communication with one another. This
was assuredly the effectual means of enabling the
Council to compare the answers of all this medical
phalanx, and to form their own judgment on the case
from the tenor of the whole. It is impossible for the
nearest observers to state the precise question, but it
is easy to conjecture the drift of them from what fol-
lowed, as well as the nature of the answers ; for about
seven o'clock in the evening, the Members of the
Council had made up theii Report, and presented a
copy of it to the QUEEN. The substance of the Re-
port we learnt was—
" That the Physicians were unanimously of opinion
that his MAJESTY was not in a state to resume and
exercise the functions of Government—that they did
not think that either mentally or bodily he was worse
than on the jth of October last—that they all con-
curred in thinking his recovery WAS highly improba.
ble, but that they did not absolutely d.spair of it."

This is the substance but not the literal text of the
Report. The Members of the Council then took some
dinner, all save the Archbishp of CANTELIBURY, who
set cif for Addiscombe. The other Members sepa-
rated about nine o'clock. The questions were said
to be digested with great acuteness and precision, so
as to draw from the Physicians the most direct and
pointed answers, as the Council was aware this, w ith
the Report on the sth October, will be chimed by the
PRINCE REGENT to be laid befure the two Houses of
Parliament.

Dr. 11.1iLLIE (with Dr. ROBERT WILLIS only) con-
tinues this morning in attendance ; for Dr. JOHN
WILLIS is gone to town. The Kix° was uncom-
monly tranquil in the first part of the week, and
shcwed symptoms rather promising, but on Friday
his irritability returned, and his delusions were not to
be reasoned away. This morning he is also very
much disturbed.

The Bulletin signed by all the Physicians yesterday
was as follows :

" Windsor Castle, Jan. 4, 1811.
,4 his MAJESTY continues ne-arty in die same state.
(Signed) 66 11. MALFORD. M. BAILLIE.
66 W. lIEBERDEN. J. WILLIS.
•6 R. WILLIS."

day, at his apartments in St. James's Palace, from
Lord Kernes seat, Richbrook Hall. His- Royal
Highness dined at home yesterday.
The Nottingham Papers of Friday, though they
make no mention of any recent outrages committed
by the frame-breakers in that town, nevertheless teem
with accounts of atrocious depredations and footpad
robberies, which are daily, or rather hourly, perpe.
trated in the surrounding country.
