What was his Majesty's state at the time you left
Windsoil—A very indifferent state.
Is it Worse than it was last week ?—Yes ; I think
its certainly worse than it was last week.
Has there, been any aggravation of symptoms
ttithin the last three days ?—I think there has ; they
have bordered more on the symptoms of delirium,
perhaps not to a greater degree than I have seen since
the 9th of October last, but, as compared. with ten
days or a fortnight before, there was then a better ap-
pmance. From the 9th of October to the-23d of
November, I saw his Majesty only three days.

the King to answer any sort of qaestions.
Since your attendance upon his Majesty; has there,
in your judgment, been any appearance of progressive
improvement ?---I can hardly so well call it progres-
sive improvement, as occasional: there Were many
days on which there was a great degree of qu:et: that
has taken place several times since the `23cl of No-
vember.
Is your opinion upon the probability of his Majesty's
recovery as strong now as it was on the 9th of Octo-
ber ?--It is.

Do you consider his Majesty's disorder, in general,
nearest allied to delirium or insanity ?—For the most
part, during the greatest part c f the time I have seen
his Majesty in his present indisposition, it has been
inearest allied to insanity. [Withdrew.]
1 Dr. ItosEwr DARLING WI um called in and examined.

Is the state of his Majesty's health such as to ren-
der him incapable of coming in person to his Parlia-
ment, or of attending to any kind of public business?
,—His Majesty's state is not such as to enable him to
come to his Parliament, or to attend to any kind of
public business.
What is the present state of his Majesty's bodily
health ?—,The present state of his Majesty's bodily
:health is by no means good, though it may be emisi-
dered, generally speaking, better than under the cir-
cumstances of want of air and exercise might have
been expected. This morning, his Majesty is in an
extremely agitated and nervous state, which has been
increasing for some time past.
What is the present state of his Majesty's mental
health p—The state of his Majesty's health is worse at
present than it has been at any time since his attack.
Adterting to the state of his Majesty's mental
health since your last examination before a Commivee '
of the House of Commons, are you now of opinion
that his Majesty's recovery is probable or improba-
ble ? Extremely improbable.
Are you of opinion that his Majesty's recovery is
hopeless ?—I do not think it imposstbl ; but I really
hardly know how to apply the word hopeless in a me-
dical sense ; it is only applicable to a state somewhere
between extreme improbability and impossibility, but
that is a state which is so extremely difficult to ascer-
tain, an in the greater number of instances will be as
transient, that I hardly know how to apply the words
I do not think it impossible, but it is in my opinion all
but impossible.
When did you first form your opinion that his Ma-
! jesty's recovery was extremely improbable? I began
to have a wry indifferent opinion of his Majesty's
state, soon a'ter the beginning of the paroxysm in
July ; and as the symptoms have never given way in
zany respect, my hopes have cintinually decreased.
Is there arty thing peculiar in the aggravated symp-
Arms which have shewn themselves within the last
three days ?—Nothing peculiar; nothing that we have
not seen in several aggravated states before.
Are the symptoms themselves more aggravated
Alan they have been at any previous time ?—No ; I
have seen his Majesty in the same state several limes.
Are the symptoms which have appeared widtia the
last three days, such as to endanger his Majesty's
life ?,—ln any other individual I think they would ;
bat I have so repeatedly seen the King in the same
state, and have seen them give way afterwards, that
I can hardly say that I consider his Majesty's life as
in danger from those symptoms.
Referring to the answer given to the third ques-
tion, respecting the state of his Majesty's mental
health, did you mean to convey to the Committee,
that his Majesty's mental health is now worse than it
was after the paroxysm came on in July ?—I think
it is.
Do you mean to confine your answer to that ques-
tion merely to appearances within the last three days?
—No : nothing has taken place within the last few
days to increase the mental symptoms. The mental
symptoms have regularly increased since July—they
have never diminished.
ifis there been no abatement of symptoms, at
times, since the beginning of December?—No abate-
ment of the essential symptoms. [Withdrew.]

" We know thit the reinforcement which was supposed to
come from Madrid, and had arrived at Requena, has beon obli-
ged to retreat, notwithstanding the marching out of £OOO of the
enemy to facilitate its junction with Sachet's army; ant that-the
divisions of Senors Zayas and Bassecourt have placed It between
two fires, so as to rends? its escape difficult. We now learn that
the above reinforcement Is the same which Sachet detached
Wont Valencia to Atragon, with the object, it is believed, to re-
strain the rapid progress of the Vmpecinado and Duran; and the
new route assigned to It was only to induce a belief that rein-
forcements were on the march to him.

" Upon the whole, affairs seem to present an encouraging as-
pcct. General Freyre, with fit,oo men, has advanced to the vi-
cinity of the Valencian army, and is acting with profound skill in
accomplishing he orders of the Commander hi Ckief. Suchet
must feel considerable alarm; for it will be difficult for him,
with 12,000 men, of which his army is composed, to resist effec-
tually more than 90,600 combatants. -
" The numerous deserters who come over to us, say, his troop!

are dying of hunger ; and that the little bread which they have
is of bad quality, and as black as pitch. It is said that Mina has
repuised a column of 6000 of the enemy who had marched from
Pampelona to reinforce Suchet; and it is added, that the greater
part of them were raw troops of the last conscription."
