STATE OF THE KING.

1t is stated, that, after the Physicians who
attend his majesty, had given their answers
to the questions which had been proposed to
them. DR.. John Willis, when the Archbishop
OF Canterbury had withdrawn, and conse-
quently the council had broken up, express
sed to lord Ellenborough his anxiety to cor
rect an error in oncof his answers, declaring
that "he could not state he actually despair
ed otthe king $ recovery" Inconsequence of
this declaration, 1t was deemed necessary to
summon the council the following morning
at Lord Ellenborough's, in St. James square.
when Dr. John Willis gave his evidence a
gam apon oath, concuri'ing with the other
physicians in declaring, that he did not to-
tally despair of the kings recovery.
The tenor of the six questions alluded to
is thus eported-Whether the king was in a
state to resume and exercise the functions of
royaltyf What his present state, bodily and
mental, was at this time, compared with the
former quarterly periods of the first week
IN January, April, July. and October, 1911
Whether the probability Of his recovery was
greater or less now than at the period Of the
report on October 5th? Whether there
were manifest proofs ofthe existence of per-
ception and memory? Whether, in fact,
they deSpaircd OF his majesty's recovery p
And whether the disorder was 10 be consid-
cred as positive insanity, or in the nature of
dehrium! The answers of the physicians,
Though differently woIded, generally and
nearly concurred--in saying that his ma
jesty was not in state to exercise the royal
functions-tlIat hishealth, bodily and men
tai, was not worse than on the 5th October,
but that there was less probability of his re-
covery-that proofs of perception and me-
mory were manifest-that though highly i'm
probable, they did not absolutely despair
for the disorder bordcred more on delirium
than insanity.
ETtract Of a Lette,:ff'om a RESPECTABLE Dlcr-
chant cj.4Acant, 10 Physician Of Phila-
delthia, dated Dec. %, 1911.
1.-The Epidemical fever has ceased, after
carrying offabout fifty thousand of the inhab-
itants of this and the neighboring province
AT this place / think we have done better
than attempt the cure of this horrid ciisor-
der; we have attempted to preclude its adj
mission; and under the assistance of Provi-
dence, we have certainly succeeded. Ali
cant, surrounded by contagion, has enjoyed
more health than ever was known at the sea-
son it was threatened with the fever, and
now that it is e2<tnguished we complain of
little on no loss by it.
1.-The method pursued for our preserya-
GI1 was to place a Gordon of the Army at
the distance of about two leagues on the side
which was most threatened with orders, on
pain OF death, to let no person pass; but as
this might not have been sufficient, the Ply
scians were vigilant in observing every IN
disposed person; who Oh the smallest APP
pearance of any thing even doubtful, was
carried out with all their family to a conve-
nient place in the country, where they were
carefully guarded till 10 danger was APP
pretended from their indisposislon.
