gal.
l. is now confidently reported in the
best Informed circles, that there will
certainly bea new commando in chief.
even If no regency should take place.
lord MORA is mentioned as the success.
sor OF the vetran sir David Dundas.
Whatever cause may remove sir Da-
vid FROM the chief command Of the
army, we will regret it-for from an
attentive observation we are convinc-
ed no man ever filled the situation
with more ability, impartiali,v, an;!
hrmness. There never was man who
acted more from himself and showed
more independence. We FIRMLY be-
lIeve that though of stern unbendipr
manners and not at first popular, the
regret or the army at large viii be
great and general on sir David's re-
sIgnation. As soldier, he has seen
much actual service, and he is more ;,
man of military science than anv one
who ever filled the situation of COM
mander in chief in this country.
Report fran the Lords Committees.
The reports of the completes OF
the house of lords, before which h;s
majesty's physicians have been exa.
mined, are printed. The examinari.
on differs very little from thar which
took place before the committee of the
commons, except that it is less detail.
ed. The following are some extracts
From DR.. Reynolds examination.
DIR. Reynolds has stated. thar he
entertains consdent expections of his
maJesty's ultimate recovery. the con-
mittee wish to know, after what pcr;.
cd OF time, suppos;ng no particular a
mendment should have taken place.
suca confident expectations would
cease !--IfhIs maiesty's disease should
be protracted beyond the limits to
which any of his former illness extend
ed without material amendment, nv
condolences would be considerably de.
mipished.
Or. Willis's examination, When
DR.. Willis agrees with the other phy-
sicians who have been examined. /,
assigning the immediate occasion of
his majesty's present Illness, does he
rean to assign it af the primitive
cause ofthe complaint, or only as having
brought into action disease 70 which
his majesty had been before subject.
-Certainly, as bringing into action
disease to which his maj ssty has been
bsfore subject.
When DIR. Willis expresses bis con.
fldent expectations of his rnaieaty's re-
covery, does he mean his final recove-
ry, without the probability of a recur-
renee OF the same indisposi,ion -
Certainly not.
Should mis- majesty recover, so as to
fu'hl all the expectations which DR..
Willis means to express, is it in hi. o.
pinion more or less proFsAble, that his
majesty would be subject to similar
indisppsitions?-His majesty having
labored under four attacks. il is more
probable he will continue liable TO re-.
peated attacks.
Alter what period of time, suppos.
ing no material abatement of his ma
Ijesty Sdlscrder shall have taken place.
would DR.. Willis cease to entertain
confident hopes of his maiesty4 reco-
very I'll must still think my opinion
would De more guided by the symp-
toms that were then present, than by
the period of time.
DR.. Willis is desired 70 answer the
question, supposing the symptoms con-
tinued nearly as at presea; III should
certainly begin 10 have a vety unfA-
vorable opinion of his maiesey's reco-
very, IL the usual period to which re-
covery had taken place in she other at
lacks, had passed by.
What do YOU conceive to have been
the usual period, dating from the con.
meneement Of the complainsl--Ths
Periods have differed; Ia 1889, il
was nearly six mon,ha inc o'h-r Pc
RODS were shorter have spoken of
the longest.
