MCMAHOR'S MESSAGE.

In his message delivered to the As.
sembly this morning the President says
order has been maintained throughout
the coGntry, and the relations with
foreign governments are on an excellent
footing.
The financial position Of the country
is sensibly improved at home. Thanks
to the good harvest agricultural pro-
duction has reached an Unprecedented
figure. The export trade has never
been so considerable as during the last
four months. Everything now fayors
the expectation that these most salts
factory results will be at least equalled
in 1879.
The President insists strongly on the
necessity of definite legislation with
regard to the constitutional powers,
and continues as follows
"Incessantly agitatel by propa-
ganda Of the past pernicious doctrines,
the country asks you to guarantee by
measures Of wise foresight the regular
action of the public powers during the
period of stability which you promised

The ApOpIexy that the Queen Did
Not Have.

Correspondence OF the New York Times /
LONDON, Saturday, Nov, Ia, 1874.
There was rumor, yesterday. that
the Queen had suddenly fallen ill-sn
attack Of apoplexy was supposed--and
was in dangerous condition. In the
evening the Prince Of Wales, who had
been shooting over Mr.. Yillebois' estate
in Norfolk, at a short distance from his
own place at Sandringham, arrived sud-
denly in town instead Of going home,
and this was thought to give coniirms-
ton to the report. This morning, how.
ever it has been positively contradicted
by the Times, which says thatit is un.
founded, and that there arc no grounds
for anxiety respecting her Majesty's
health. How the story originated it is,
Of course, impossible to say, but it il
suspected that there must be some foun-
dation for it. A generally robust state
Of health is quite consistent with the
sort Of attacks to which the Queen is
liable, and which might Mt any moment
assume an alarming form, and her unu-
sually prolonged sojourn in the High.
lands this year, especially az a ei...e
when she has an imperial rel
alive and guest III London,
has already caused good
deal of speculation. It is stated that
she is not TO return south till next
Saturday, and ii seems to be thought
doubtful whether she will come even
then. An impression has, therefore.
got abroad that there may be some
thing in the state Of Her Majesty 5
health which has led her medical atten.
dants to recommend continuance Of
her retiren ent in the North. 1t would
seem, however, that there is no reason
to assume physical weakness on her
part, as she has been driving about q
great deal at Balmoral, and also paid
more than one visit to her fayorite re-
treat on the desolate shore Of Loeb
Mulch, one of the widest aud most Sc
cluded parts of the Scotch Highlands.
Here she escapes altogether from even
the very moderate state ceremonial Of
Balmoral, and can 90 out walking,
riding, boating, OF sketching at plea
sure, beyond the reach Of human eyes,
for there are only three or four Gotta
ges, the residences Of gamekeepers and
shepherds, in the whole glen, and it is
rarely visited by strangers. 1t is ia one OF
the gamekeepers' cottages the Queen
puts up when in this quarter. The
rumor of yesterday may perhaps be re-
garded as indicating the existence Of
apprehensions rather than any actual
and serious fultiIment of them.
