follows.
The leading articles in the British pa
pers relate chiefly 10 the last illness OF the
king OF France. Various premature re-
ports of his death were circulated: but at
9 O'Clock on the morning OF toe l7th OF
September expresses arrived at London
with positive ute IligenCe OF the fact. The
event took place al clock on the morn
ing of Thursday, September 10th, and
was kaown at Ca ala at half past 8 o'clock,
by means OF the following telegraphic de-
spatch from tue capital:

Blood have passed the night in his Ma]esty's
apartment.
From his numerous in6rmties, life itself
had become a burden TO Louis; aud we
know of no evil bis death is likely to bring
ON France when anticipating his
decease. the French Journalists, as in du-
ty bound, represented il as national ca
lamity, mixing up their lamentations, how
ever, with a few compliments to his sue
cessor. The re1exions INDUCED in by
some Of them on the crisis then impend

glorious, (says one OF them) how holy IS
the agony OF the Christian KING! MoD-

before that on which the monarch died:
sThc strong constitution of the King has a.
gain triumphed this morning overa crisis like
that which took place yesterday. The same
symptoms have again produced the same a

the diving should be recommended; and being
unable to repeat each response he only SAID
that he attended to the whole, and resPonsed
