The documents lately shown at Buckingham Palace are spurious, and the real
ones have been suppressed from party motives, which we shall not allude
to. The following are genuine; they relate only to the Prince, the
convalescence of Her Majesty being, we are glad to say, so rapid as to
require no official notice.
_Half-past Twelve_.
The Prince has sneezed, and it is believed has smiled, though the nurses
are unable to pronounce whether the expression of pleasure arose from
satisfaction or cholic.
_Quarter past One_.
The Prince has passed a comfortable minute, and is much easier.
_Two O'Clock_.
The Prince is fast asleep, and is more quiet.
_Half-past Two_.
The Prince has been shown to Sir Robert Peel, and was very fretful.
_Three O'Clock_.
Sir Robert Peel has left the Palace, and the Prince is again perfectly
composed.
