The King was far from being in a good state 
of health at this time. 
bodily indisposition were sufficient to accourt 
for the present symptoms of the state of his 
mind. ‘After he objected to the Chancelior’s 
admission, ‘he proposed going over to the 
King, to see in what state of expectation his 
Majesty was; knowing that he had been ap- 
prised of the Chancellor’s visit to Windsor. 
He found him then in such a state of expe¢- 
tation, that it was.a doubt whether as much 
irritation would not arise from keeping+the 
Chancellor away, as from admitting him; 
and he therefore assented, as a choice of evils, 
that the Chancellor should go in. His Ma- 
jesty’s complaint being more nearly allied to 
delirium than insanity, he thought it, on that 
account, much more easily cured. 
On’ Monday Dr. Baillie, again called in,: 
stated, that on the 25th of October, his Ma- 
jesty'was hurried in his manner; his pulse 
was at 90, and his conversation was a little 
desultory 5 that is, passing-from one thing a 
little rapidly to another. On the 26th his 
conversation was very much hurried. He 
Said that the Queen and three of the Prin- 
esses saw the King on the 27th of October. 
The Queen-by herself, (that is, without the 
Princesses) saw the King for a little time on 
the. 23d of October, and likewise on'the 29th, 
for a short time. . The King was principally 
in the custudy of Dr. Robert. Willis, who 
takes in a great measure the management of 
the persons who are more immediately about 
his Majesty’s person. Witness first saw the 
Princess Amelia on the 26th of December 
1809 ;.and every time that he saw the Prin- 
cess, he was with the King afterwards, so as 
to have a good deal of conversation with his 
Majesty. Before-the 25th of October, that 
hurry of manner occurred two. or three 
times, but not in any very strong degree 
enough -for him toremark it. His Majesty’s 
manner is never a very quiet manner, but he 
did not recollect any thing that struck him, 
except two or three days, perhaps, before the 
25th of October. The Lord Chancellor saw 
his Majesty the day before yesterday ; and 
also on the 1st of November; and Mr. Per- 
cival saw him on the 29th of October. 
On the 19th, Mr. Percival submitted, 
by letter, his Plan of a Regency to the 
Prince, expressing a hope that he might 
be honovred with his Royal Highness’s 
command to wait on him to know his 
pleasure on the subject. His Roval 
Highvess signified to Mr. Pereival, that, 
as no step had yet been taken on the 
subject in the two Llouses of Pacliament, 
he did not think it consistent with his 
respect for the two Houses to give any 
opinion on the course of proceeding 
wich had been submitted to him; and 
the answer concludes- with expressing 
tye Prince’s most earnest wisbes that-a 
speedy re-establishment of his M ajesty’s 
_ State of Public Affairs in December.

The Prince of Wales communicated 
to all the branches of his illustrious fa- 
mily, the Plan of the Regency, upon 
which the whole of the Royai Dukes, 
with one consent, drew up a Declatae 
tion and Protest against the form of pro- 
ceeding; and which they addressed to 
Mr. Percival, for the information of Mi- 
nisters at large. It stated in suhstance—

measure of supplying the Royal Authority 
by the appointment of a Regency, with cer- 
tain limitations and restrictions, as described ; 
they felt it to be their duty to declare, that 
it was the unanimous opinion of all the male 
branches of his Majesty’s family, that they 
could not view this moce of proceeding -with- 
out alarm, as a Regency so restricted, was 
inconsistent with the prerogatives which 
were vested in the Reyal Authority, as 
much for the security and benefit of the peo- 
ple, as fer the strength and dignity of the 
Crown itself; and they, therefore, must so- 
lemnly protest against this violation of the 
principles which placed their family on the
