STATE OF THE PRINCE.
The latest bulletin stated that the Prince was ■offering great pain but progressing favourably. The wound is not considered likely to prove fatal. Dr. Young states that the ball must have entered his Royal Highneis's back on the right side, just above the loins, and passed round that side without apparently penetrating any vital part, as far as the abdomen, where it still remains. It is externally perceptible, and may be extracted at any time. It is considered better to wait untilhis .Royal Highness rallies than to annoy him with the operation at present. In the course of to-morrow (this day) Dr. Young expects to extract the ball. There has been scarcely any haemorrhage ; and it is ascertained that neither the lungs nor the spine is injured. But as his Royal Highness has lost the use of his limbs, it is evident that some of the nerves are severed. He has since recovered the power of moving hia limbs. [Thin was written on the 13th inst.]
