The pfiblic will be-sware already, that the Drawing-room apppinted-for this dayq.as ben put o4, iii consequetice of the indisposition-of tlse KING. In the. coirse of yester- day the following bujlIetin was issued by the proper au- thority:- thority WifidiCr Castle, April 2, 10 o'clock a ni. "The. ing.bai for IOfi da:y3past been much indispoBed with 'th prevzdling epidemnit coi. * Hiis Ddaesty.is much better-td.dayj And i!iiess, uihappily, His Majesty Eshould suffer a relapse,. there will be:no furtheriluolt, .

It says, - 'The Kmf has for some days beeu much in. d disposed." Now, is it niot rather singular that the peo- ple shlould not havelbeen informed of this ." great iindis- "'position". (for.we know not how-to convert. -the adverb much into any otilier adjective than great)-that the people, ve say, -tiouild not have&been inforwedof that " great in- CC disipobitioui" of His VAJ ESTY till its termination? " Some dC &ayFof great indisposition" would surely allow-tinie for the offieial publication-of 'the occurrence. The- fact is, that the Ki.NG's'recent attack by severe cold wouid never have been.knbW'n-but iby secret whispers-a very mis- cliievous mode of intelhlgewce-lhad it not been for his in- abijity,. ven._in h,ia_jzonyAlescent.state, nowv io hold the appointed Draw&ingroom.

His MAAESTY. appears but little (we might almost say not .at all) in public. It is only fromi the paoers that his people Tearii, And the papers only learn from the do- mestics of the Palace that His MAJZSTY is at Brighton, at Windsor, or even in town. It is the more imperative, therefore, that the state of hisbhealth, or anv Variations when such occur, should. be made known from authentic sources, in the most prompt and precise manner.
