night that be had sotldptted the usual hour, sad the medical at-
tendants ascribed it to increasing weakoras, against which L bad
hitherto contesdni. All agreed that be might linger oo a few.days,
nnlesten attack of Levees faintness should carry him off suddenly.
On ties fellowlog day, the ntth,etnßoyal Milan*" after paw-
ing a tolerable night, appeared beet He bad taken some ootarials-
aunt, and his pulse was steady. He t for me soon after tea, and
spoke very seriously of his siteatidia, but without alarm or agita-
He appeared very desirous of extracting very direct and
unreserved answers; often fixed his eye upon me, as if to search
my thoughts, and made me change my position, that he might sue
me the better. I appeared not to notice this, but kept up the con.
venation for au hour and a half, On various subjects of business,
&c. This succeeded, and be gradually became mote at his rate.
He was quite equal to any exertion of mind. When Sir H. Hal-
ford came, be anoeuneed to his Royal Highness the King's inten-
tion to pay him a visit on that day, and his Regal Highness dressed
and shaved himself, which he had not been able to do on the pre-
ceding day.
The Physicians told me that the state of the legs had become
more unfavourable. His Royal Highness saw the Adjutant-Gene-
ral and Quarter.blaster-General, gad transacted business with three
Y usual.
His Majesty came at two, and staid an hour with his Royal
Highness. His Majesty thought hint looking better and stronger
than on the !7th, but this was the last time he saw him, Ms Majesty's
own Indisposition having disappointed his meioses wish to have
come again to him.
His Royal Highness sent for me at live, and went through his
usual official business with me, after which be appeared tired and
exhausted, and indeed he had previously retired to his bed room.
He afterwards saw Colonel Stephenson, who found bins In the
same weak and exhausted state.
Towards nine he sent hie me again, and I found him much op-
pressed, and breathing short, and in general unable to rouse himself.
He dismissed me after a Went time, wishing me good night, but be-
tween 10 and 1 1 he sent fee me again ; I found him dozing, and
when be roused himself he complained of inward pain? ailed me
how late I should stay in the house (be wis not aware that I had
shpt in it for several nights), and again wished me good night • and
also for Sir H. Halford, Mr. Macgregor, and Mr. Simpson. Some
time after, be again sent for Mr. Macgregor, Who found him in one
of his attacks of nervous faintness. Mr." Macgregor gave him some
laudanum, and after some time be became more composed, and
fell asleep.
I learnt early in the morning of the 30th, from Mr. Macgregor,
that his Royal Highness bad had some sleep at intervals, but that
be appeared much weaker, and that there were other indications of
increasing danger. His loyal Highness had determined not to
quit his bed-room.
He seat for me at half-past ten, and I remained with him for
more than an hour, until Sir H. Helloed came, I was extremely
leeched at the extraordinary change which bad taken place in our
eight, er rather since the preceding morning at the same hour. He
appeared extremely feeble and under great uneasiness (rem pain, but
otherwise composed, and although suffering so much he uttered no
complaint. He asked me when I had come, mad I told him I had
slept in the house. Ile did not seem surprised, or displeased, bet
said be cesichided be was considered much worse, for Mr. Mac-
gregor bad himis three times to we him in the night. But that he
felt quite equal to eissinesa. I therefore brought forward a few
subjects, and received his very clear instructions, though his voice
had become so feeble that I could with difficulty bear him.
His Royal Highness saw the Dukes of Clarence and Sussex, and
Sir William Knighton, who was going to Windsor, and through
whom he sent an affectionate message to the King. To the Dukes
of Clarence and Sussex he itpoke cheerfully on the state of Porto.
pl and ether matters of public interest. The Princess Sophia
was also with him fee a emseiderable time.

&tweets nine and ten be expressed a wish to see Colonel Ste-
pbenson and me, and we went to him, but he said little, and wished
us good night.
He passed a restless night, and appeared much weaker on the
following morning (die Slat of December), but continued perfectly
sensible—took uourishmeat when offered to bins, but 'hewed no
inclination to speak, unless spoken to. His medical attractants
apprehended, from the increased weakness, the rapid approach
of dissolution. I went to him by desire of the physicians between
one and two► He took my hand, and received me most kindly.—
He said, w Here I am—l feel weaker, but not worse, and Ido not
suffer pain." He moved his lips am:23loo'lly, but I could not dis-
tinguish what be said I ►e appeared quite sensible, eery composed,
and twice looked at me, the tint time seriously, Je second time
with a•pLical, almost a cheetiursmile, and I came away perfectly
satisfied that his mind was free from anxiety mad tumidness. The
Princess Sophia came in, and the manner la which be roused him-
. .

self when she was announced was very striking. Her Royal High.
ness staid with hint about twenty minutes. He continued very
quiet throughout the rest of the day, and at half-past seven desired
Sir A. Cooper, who was going to Windsor, metre his affectionate
duty lathe King, and to tell him be was very comfortable.
On the let of January I karat that his ltoyal Highness had
passed a very quiet night, with four hours good sleep, and that no
material change had taken place in his state ; that he continued
perfectly sensible, took sufficient nourishment, and spoke whenever
roused; nor were the legs In a. worse state ; on the contrary, their
appearance had become more favourable.
Upon Rae whole, the Physicians thought he might linger on
kaiser than they had expected, such was the extraordinary resit.
ante which his costatitution opposed to the progress of the disease.
The Dukes of Clarence and Sussex again saw him, and he received
them affectionately, but did not speak, and they left hint imme-
diately. The Princess Sophie then went to him ;he kissed her
and said--" GOD bless you, my dear love—to-morrow, DOCIOD.
row " and she left him. He continued in the same quiet Mad
composed; state throughout the day, and occcasionally mid his me-
dical attendants that he felt no pain, and was very comfortable. I
did not see him.
Tbe report on the following morning, the 2d January, was, that
the night had been quiet, and that be continued free from pain, and
perfectly tiensibk, though he seldom spoke. Sees after Mee he had
a shivering attack, which was very alarming, and his pulse was
hardly perceptible, but lie rallied. He had been moved nearer to
the window, was quite himself, and asked whether the day was not
a frost ? which wa the case. He beanie slightly delirious at 20
minutes past one, other symptoms had become more alarming.
Still he was sensible at intervals. The Princess Sophia was
Itateitad
with him fora short time, and he kntw her.
The Dukes of Clarence and Sussex, who came in the afternoon,
did not see him. His Royal Highness continued nearly in the same
state, except that his pulse bad been gradually lowering. and his
breathing becoming very short, and his situation appeared so critical.
that I and other attendants in the house determiaed not to take off
our clothes. \
I beard at sic on the following morning (the SO, front Mr. Mac-
pager, that mitwkhataoding a restless and uncomfortable night, his
Royal Highness had rallied, and appeared then stronger, more in-
clined to talk, and to take nourishment, than he bad been on the pre-
ceding day, and' that It was impossible to calculate when the crisis
would arrive. His pulse had also become more steady. The other
medical attendants confirmed this at a late hour, sod observed that
his Royal Highness's extraordinary powers et constitution and
tenacity of life defied all cuitislatios. The Princess Sophia bele,
unwell, could not come this day • the Dukes of Clarence and Seem
came at twelve, and staid ma ;le, but did sot see their brother.
Mr William Knighton, having emit teem Windsor, cad been
named to his Royal Highness, he desired to midst' that be mists
inquire alter the King, and requested him to mute kis 31ajestrof
his affectionate duty.
Towards the evening his Royal Highness Mewed symptom/ of
returning strength, and the Physicians reported tea Ms .siejelty, that
be continued In the same state, without appestats', of immediate
dissolution, but without hope: Between ten and twelve he was
very quiet and inclined to sleep.
The assemblage of people in AsSogten.etreet was the same se es
the preceding day ; there was the some propriety of evaded, the
same manifestation of affectionate tree from curiosity.
His Royal Highness pissed a wory night, with amides*,
attacks of faintness and spasm. His breathing had become more
'difficult, his pulse more feeble and iiregular, but yet there were no
symptoms of rapidly appreaddog dissolution. Sir Artie? Cooper
bad at up with him to relieve Mr. Nanterre, and when the latter
went to his Royal Highoeselse desired him to thank Mat, and my
be was very kind.
Shortly after he saw some me awe bins, and Mr. Macgregor
told him it was Mr. Simpson, and Ms Royal Highness said bit.
