PARIS, December 15.
The Aflembly of the Notables, which met
at Vcrfailles on the 6th of November last,
was dillblved yesterday by a speech from the
King in person.
LONDON,
HOUSE of COMMONS, December 10.
The King’s Physicians were examined in
the House of Commons refpecling the state of
liis Majesty’s health; and the firft queftiom
put was, “Is his Majesty able to come down
to Parliament, or to apply to any kind of bu
fincfs ? The unanimous reply to this question
from all the Physicians, was, that he was not.
The next qpeftion refpefted the probability,
or expectation of a cure. They all agreed ia
exprefling their hopes of his Majesty’s reco
very ; some becaule it was probable ; others
because they had know-n a majority of per
sons afflided in the fame manner recover.
The next queflion generally put, was, could
they aflign any brobable or ptecife time for
his Majesty’s recovery ? They all agreed that,
though there was a probability his Majesty
would recover, the period when ihatdefirablc
event might be announced was entirely a mat
ter of uncertainty.
Refpeding the cau/e as well as the duration ,
of the disorder, they were equally uncertain.
None of them could aflign any propable cause.
Dr. Warren, who was examined firft, was
interrogated the most on this head. He men
tioned several causes that might produce his
Majesty’s disorder. It might proceed, he
said, 1. From blows or external violence,
a. From affedions of the mind. 3. From
fever. 4. From the internal derangemeut of
the orgaus. There fymptoms, in his
judgment, that indicated any one in particu
lar of those four causes. The last, he said,
was the most difficult to cure, and indeed was
beyond the power of medicinal application.
Those that proceeded from fever were the
xnoft likely to be soon cured. He was con
vinced that his Majesty’s disorder did not
proceed from fever.
Sir George Baker was next examined. He
in general agreed with Dr. Warren, and in
deed did not differ with him cftentially in
any particular.
Dr. Willis, under whose more’ immediate
care his Majesty now is, was next called,
wHen he declared, he had the most sanguine
hopes of the King’s recovery. He said he
fhouid not doubt <>f it, in any other person
who was in hi? Majesty’s situation. Being
asked his reason for this, he said, that his
Majesty having more upon his- mind than a
private person was not so readily susceptible
of relief. In*regard to the time in which the
cure might be expefted, he was doubtful;
but not so much as the other physicians. Nine
out of ten of his patients, in a similar fitua
tiom had generally recovered within the space
of three months, and he had been in pradife
of visiting perfOus afflicted with this disorder
for more thau 28 years. In the course of that
time he had seldom less than 30 patients to
gether. Being asked what was‘the Ihorteft
space of time in which these patients had re--
covered, he aufwered fix weeks or two months;
and was not without hopes but that his Ma
jesty might recover within that period. The
longest time was, for the most part, a year,
but few were so long ; the medium for those
who were badly afflided was five or fix months.
Being interrogated as to any apparent conva
lescence, he could not declare that there was
any; but he had reason to hope that it would
soon take place, because the irritation had sub
sided. As to the cause he could not aflign one
to which he was positive in aferibing the dis
order; but thought it most probable that it
bad been occasioned by weighty cares upon
the mind, joined to too great abstinence,
want of rest, and violent cxerrife. These
were frequent causes of his Majesty’s disor
der ; and when it originated from any of them,
Dr. Willis had always remarked it to be more
easily cured than when it had proceeded from
bard drinking, or any other intemperance.
london t December 11, Tire language of
Mr. Pitt in the House of Commons on Wed
nesday was pointedly conftitutionaly and found
ed on those glorious principles which have
been the bulwark of our liberties, for he as
serted the rights oj the people ; in contradiction
to which, Mr. Fox, uling the old Tory doc
trine, contended, that the people had no right
in the appointment of a Regent , blit it was
veiled in a person independent of their authors
ty. —-from this let the nation judge which of
the two have the greatest pretentions to the
diftinCtion of which the pretended
patriots have so anxioutly laboured to appro
priate to theml'elves.
19. In the fcttlement of an executive
power, the withes, and even the prejudices,
of the mure distant branches- of the empire,
are to be attended to. Our friends on the
other fide of the Tweed have hinted pretty
broadly their pleasure in regard to ihe Ile
gency. The Irilh have not bceu less tiieut.
Both are unanimous sot inverting the Prince
with sovereign authority, >n as L.il and com
plete a-manner as it ever was enjoyed by his
lather. It we refills, what will be the ine
vitable confcquence ? Scotland threatens to
diftblve the Union—-lieland'will undoubtedly
adopt measures not mote favorable. —Thus,
to humour a Minister, must the liopemio i>
empire of Britain be split into three leparate
Hues, or, if Hie proves fuccefslul i * the con
test, that blood and treasure, which thouM
never flow but when attacked by our na;ural
enemies, will be loft in eullaviug our bed
friends.
The design of the Pitt party is to deprive;
the Regent of the power of creating Peers,
and diftolving the Parliament, by which
means they hope to prevent him eiiher from
changing the administration, or .cite from
their majority in Parliament, to render it ini -
poflible that he can do the public business with
his own Ministers. That Mr. Pitt aud the
Duke of Richmond fitould continue in offi :e,
is the constitution to be violated, the govern
ment rendered ineiflcacious, aud the country
put in danger of a civil war ?

At the last feflion of our General Aflembly
the county of Davidson was again divided,
and the weftein part called Teneflee county,
the weftern boundary being the river Tenef
fee ; and a new diftriCi efiablilhed, including
Teneflee,, Davidson, and Sumner counties,
diftinguilhed by Mero diftriCi, after Gover
nor Mero of New-Oileaus. Col. Smith, of
Nafliville, a man of great prudence and brave
ry, was appointed Brigadier General of this
diftriCi, at the earned recommendation of
Col. Robertson. From so judicious an ap
pointment, and the friendly disposition of
Mr. M‘Gil!evray, there is every reason
; to believe, that the people of this wefleru
: region will continue in peace, while their less
prudent neighbours are involved in daily dis
• faculties. John Steele, Esq. was appointed a
Commiflioner for holding treaties with the
Southern Indians, in conjunction with Gen.
Mathews of Georgia, Gen. Pickens of South-
Carolina, and Gen. Wynne, the Superinten
dant of Indian Affairs, agreeably to the Re
folutious of Congress. And Alexander Drum
goold, a beloved man among the ( herokees,
was engaged to go to these people with peace
talks, and to Mr. M'Gillivray with letters
from Governor Johnston,. with assurances of
the friendly difj ofition if the fate towards
his nation.
