highly improbable, but not altogether without hope; that it is highly improbable, beCause the illness has continued for many months; because his mental health is considerably worse than it was eight or ten months ago; and because his indisposition has assumed a more determined form than in any of his former illnesses. Dr. W. Heberden declared, that his majes ty's recovery was highly improbable, but not in an extreme degree that it was not hopeless. "His majesty, from the middle of July last, till about the second week in December, appeared to be more uniformly disordered in his mind than he has been since that period. Had the same degree of disorder still continued, I might, perhaps, consider his majesty's condition as almost hopeless; but the subsequent improvement, slight as it has been, makes me think altogether more faorably of the termination. The slight improvement consists in a greater power of conversation, and in having laid aside some erroneous notions with which his majesty had been before possessed." Dr. T. Monroe stated, that his majesty's mental health was insane; that his recovery was very improbable, but certainly not hopeless, because he had no symptoms of fatuity. That in all mental disorders not accompanied by fatuity, there is a chance of reGovery; and that he had frequently seen hopes founded upon such reasoning realized. That he had known patients older than his majesty recover, though not with the same degree of mental disorder. He had seen very few cases of persons so old as his majesty. Being asked if he conceived that the situation of his majesty, with regard to his regal dignity, has any effect upon his distemper, he replied, that there is a vast deal of irritation about his majesty, which is seldom seen in patients in general; that the anxiety and cares of government may possibly have contributed to the disorder; but that he should think the sense of his own situation as sovereign of the country has not had any effect upon the state of his mental health; that he has not observed any anxiety in his majesty on the subject of public affairs, but that he has had very few opportunities of seeing his majesty. That the reflection upon his own regal state, when his mind is in progress towards recovery, may have some effect in retarding that recovery; that he has been at Windsor ten times, and was not aware of any improvement latterly. Dr. S. F. Simmonds declared, that his majesty's bodily health was on the whole very good, but that his mental health was in a state of great derangement; that his recovery was improbable, but not hopeless. I have seen persons as old as his majesty recover, after, I think, a longer duration of the disease than the present attack.-Q. After as many repeated attacks as his majesty has had? A. With respect to the number of attacks, I have kad occasion, in hospital practice, to see per sons who have gone through a long life occasionally subject to attacks of this kind : I have known persons attacked ten, twelve, or more, times, and recover from eagh of those attacks.-Q. And die of age at last? A. Yes.-Q. You say you have known persons as old as his Majesty, and labouring under an equal degree of mental derangement, recover? A. Yes.-Q. Then why do you think his Majesty's recovery improbable? A. Because the number of recoveries of persons of that age is very small in comparison with the number of recoveries of those that are younger; the instances of recovery become less in the advanced periods of life. Sir H. Halford considered his Majesty's recovery as very improbable, but not hopeless-very improbable, from the character of its present symptoms, the duration of the disorder, his advanced period of life, but above all, from the influence of his Majesty's peculiar situation and circumstances upon his irritable constitution.-Q. Have you observed any signs of amendment in his Majesty since the beginning of December? A. There have been several occasions on which the violence of his Majesty's disorder appeared to be so far abated, and his mind seemed so far cleared up, as to admit of his detailing anecdotes of past times accurately, but not to exercise a sound judgment on present circumstances.-Q. Since the beginning of December, has his Majesty shewn generally more disposition to conversation? A. His Majesty has frequently shewn himself rather more capable of conversation.-Q. Has his Majesty, in any of those conversations to which you have referred, adverted to the circumstances of his own situation? A. Yes - By watching the turn of his Majesty's thoughts, and the remarkable energy of his expressions, it is obvious that his mind has been deeply stricken by the supercession of his authority. I think it is important to state this, because it has a greater weight in determining the opinion which I have formed as to the great improbability of his Majesty's recovery, than the particular symptoms of his Majesty's complaint. Dr. J. Willis.-Q. What is the present state of his Majesty's mental health? A. There is a very great degree of derangement, and particularly bordering on insanity, having very much she symptoms of insanity; at the same time unusually, though occasionally, mixed with delirious characters.-Q. Adverting to the state of his Majesty's mental and and bodily health during his present indisposition, as far as it come under your observation, are you of opinion that his Majesty's recovery is probable or improbable? Very improbable.-Q. Are you of opinion, that his Majesty's recovery is hopeless? A. No; certainly not hopeless. On what do you found your opinion, that his Majesty's recovery is not hopeless? A. I think it has not arrived at that fixed period at which cases generally are hopeless ; it has not so decidedly A. that fixed character of insanity as to render it hopeless.-Q. Do you expect that his Majesty will recover? A. No; I do not expect that his Majesty will recover.-Q. Is your opinion upon the improbability of his Majesty's recovery as strong now as it was on the 9th of October? A. It is.-Q. Do you consider his Majesty's disorder, in general, nearest allied to delirium or insanity? A. For the most part, during the greatest part of the time I have seen his Majesty in his present indisposition, it has been nearest allied to insanity. -Withdrew. Dr. R. D. Willis.-Q. What is the present atate of his Majesty's bodily health? A. The present state of his Majesty's bodily health is by no means good, though it may be con sidered, generally speaking, better than un. der the circumstances of want of air and exerercise might have been expected. This morning his Majesty is in an extremely agitated and nervous state, which has been intreasing for some time past.-Q What is the present state of his Majesty's mental health? A. The state of his mental health is worse at present than it has been at any time since his attack.-Q. Adverting to the state of his Majesty's mental health since your last examigation before a committee of the House of Commons, are you now of opinion that his Majesty's recovery is probable or improbable ? A. Extremely improbable. AMERICA. At Washington, Dec. 6, Mr. Porter, in Congress, called for the consideration of the report of the committee on foreign relations, and briefly stated the objects and views which had governed the committee in the report. "The orders in council were of themselves a tufficient cause of war, which cause had been aggravated by the shifts of the British ministry. Britain captured under a principle this week, which she did not avow the next, and she would next trample upon the necks of our citizens in the streets. It was the unanimous opinion of the committee, that the encroachments were such as to demand war. It is in our power to harrass the resources of Great Britain, as well on the ocean as by land; to carry on a war against the coast and colonies, and destroy her trade with the colonies, by the number of privateers. We had it in our power to make a conquest of Canada, which to Britain was of the utmost importance; from whence she had imported articles of the utmost necessity last year, to the amount of 600,000,000 dollars, a great deal of which was for timber for the navy. hold a sword over her resources which would cut her to the quick. It is therefore the des termination of the committee to recommend open war, and to exert the utmost energies of the nation." We The resolutions were all carried in a com mittee, and were afterwards taken up in the house, and the first carried by 117 to 11. EAST INDIES. In consequence of the further operations of the British troops, General Jansens, and the remainder of the French forces in the island of Java, capitulated on the 17th of September; and by a treaty signed on the same day, all the country eastward of Samarang (not already subject to the British arms) surrendered. The action which terminated in General Jansens' final surrender was fought on the 16th September, at Jattee Allee. The attack was led on by Colonel Gibbs. The loss on the part of the British was only two killed and ten wounded. On the 17th the fort capitulated, and General Jansens and his troops surrendered as prisoners of war.

The workmen are at present employed in planting laurels, firs, and other evergreens. The ride round the Circus is nearly made; the latter is intersected by other roads, the principal of which leads to the New Road, opposite Portlandplace. Thomas Dellow, the little boy whose loss was noticed in our last, has been restored to his parents. There has not been recollected, during memory, so dark and dismal a day as Friday the 10th of January. Every shop was lighted up-the windows of private houses were shut, and candles were used in every frequented apartment. The Royal Exchange was at one o clock, the seat of silence and solitude! At Mark-lane no business was done! The alleys and narrow streets in the City, the lamps not having been lighted, were darker than at midnight. MARRIED.
