FOREIGN NEWS.

BY recent arrivals our accounts rom GnS
land are to the 9th of June; the accounts of the
approaching dissolution of the King of England
and of the refusal of Prince Leopold to accept
the throne of Greece will be read with interest.
The King, as will be seen by what fol-
lows, was still alive, so late as o'clock on
the morning of June 6; but all hope of his
recovery was abandoned, and his exit was
daily, and almost hourly expected.
Windsor, 2 o'clock, A. NJ, June 8. "His
Majesty is still alive, but his distressing stu
alton warrants the expectation that each sue
ceeding hour will close his earthly reign"
We have received accounts from Wind
sor, which left that town so late as two
O'Clock this morning. The King was hard
| ly expected to survive the night, though the
I natural vigor of His Majesty's constitution
has more than once carried him through a
crisis almost equally severe. The Duke OF
Wellington, who had been sent for express,
arrived at 6, and did not leave till IL.
Times, June 8.
We are grieved to state that the intelh-
gence respecting His Majesty is of most
mournful import. We deem it lnexpedlentto
infiict upon the feelings of our readers the
painful details of our private advlces-the
official announcement of the royal sufferer
latter what he had already endured) hafng
passed the last night under considerable
embarrassment, being of itself more than
sufficient for the lamentable occasion.
Morning Post, June 8.
On the 9TH of June. Sir Henry Halforc
and Sir Matthew Tierney were both in at
tendance on His Majesty during the day
the state of the King being such as to ren
der their presence necessary.
twas stated from Windsor, that "to thu
} stupor with which His Majesty has beel
|, lately much affected, has succeeded an &C
cess of pain, which has extOrted groan
from the ilustrious sufferer. During tn
night of the 9th, His Majesty, notwithstand
f ing his mental courage, was unable to re
press those common evidences of suffering
: and Notwithstanding the opiates freely ad
= ministered to him, he was at times border
e ing on dissolution. Very little medicine
Q now administered to the King; the onl
chymical preparation now taken, is Hof

y From the complexion Of these account
r there can be little doubt that the ssepter
p Britain is at this moment swayed by anoth'
arm. Whether change of ministry and
Is dissolution of Parliament have followed,

to have taken place between the King and
