inmation that had been made OF even the indsposon
OF the Gar Tdings rapidly followed Of the fatal ter
imitation Of his illness When the House Of Lords met

Lord Palmerston made the announcement TO the
House Of Commons and there be doubt that the

The cause Of his death liz said to have been apoplexy

supposed TO labor under disease OF the heart and how
greatly the tolls and anxiees OF the past year
have pressed upon his mind, readily believe that
his career has been cut short by apoplactic seizure

only hope that his may seize the opportunity
of inaugatng his reign by frank OF his de-
termination to give every reasonable security for the
maintenance OF amcable relations between Russia and
the Allied Powers.
