.It is again cur painful duty to state, that
there is not the least prospect OF his majes-
! tvs recovery he enjoyed little sleep isst
night, which only tends 70 prolong his suffer
/ ings, as the refreshment he ootalns rom i is
: scarcely visible; MS appetite, notwithstand-
! ing, is occasionally very good. On Wednes-
day he made very hearty dinner Of cuid nut
ton. and light French dish. His present
very deb;li;ated situation IS owing, Iii some
measure, to his having recently talked up
wards OF twenty hours nearly without ceasng.

majesty is frequently afflicted, often proceed
