[London] Sept. 30.  Yesterday morning early her majesty was
taken in labor, at her palace, on which messengers were
dispatched to her Royal Highness the Princess Dowager of
Wales, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the two secretaries of
state, and others of the privy council, who attended with
all expedition, and her majesty was safely delivered of a
Princess between 6 and 7 o'clock.  The news of this happy
event was communicated to the public by the firing of the
tower guns at noon, which was followed by the ringing of
bells and other tokens of joy.
