Tier•. DUKE OF WELLINGTON.—The answer to the name-
runs inquiries, yesterday, at Apsley House, was that the
noble duke was convalescent ; and it was understood that
his grace's physicians would discontinue their regular visits.
'We understand that it was the wish of the duke to go down
to the House of. Lords at five o'clock, but Sir H. Halford
said that it was not advisable for his grace to venture out so
soon after his indisposition, especially as the weather conti-
nued intensely cold. The duke received several morning
visits, among whom were the Marquis of Douro, who has
taken possession of his new mansion in Belgrave-street, the
Right Hon. Charles Arbuthnot, General Alava, the Spanish
minister, and Colonel Garwood. His Highness the reigning
Duke of Saxe Coburg called in person to inquire after the
health of the duke.—Morning Herald of Saturday.
APSLEY HOUSE.—The answers to inquiries yesterday was,
that the Duke of Wellington was very much better. His
grace still labours under slight weakness consequent on the
late severe attack of indispo,sition.—Morning Herald of
Yesterday. _
