THE KING: The Bulletins for the last week Ititlgien us reason to indulge in the pleasing anticipation of his MAJES4 TY'S speedy restoration to the exercise of his Royal Functions. On Saturday morning her MAJESTY held a Counckat Windsor, at which there were present, besides bee MAJESTY, the Archbishops of CANTER- 1 BURY and YORK, the Duke of MONTROSE, Earls of Wnwnetsts and AYLESFORD, and the MASTER of the ROLLS. Dr. REYNOLDS, Sir H. HALFORD Drs. BAILL ga, linsunnEN, and WILLts, underwent an exa mination for some time, but of the result we are ig norant. It is our painful duty, however, to state, l that since the breaking up of the council, an altera tion for the worse has taken place in the state of his MAJESTY'S health. At eight o'clock yesterday morning the LORD CIIANCELLOR waited on his Royal Highness the Patna REGENT, in order to inform him that the Physicians had reported, 'That his Mansry had relapsed into " that state in which it had become necessary to pre " vent his seeing any of his Family." In consequence of this information the PRINCE and the Duke of Yous went down to Windsor, and had an interview with the QUEEN. Notwithstanding these unfavourable appearances, however, we understand that his MAJESTY has not suffered any paroxysm ; but that the degree of irri tation which he has felt since the prospect was held out of his return to public business, has given rise to the doubt on the mind of' the Physicians of the pro priety of continuing that faMiliar intercourse with his family which has served to agitate his spirits, and to beget an impatience of :mind unfavourable to the progress of his recovery. • • It would appear that his - Maassrt came out: Of Windsor Castle yesterday at twelve o'clock, and walked on the Terrace, attended by Doctors WILLts, HErSERDEN and BA I LLI E. At half-past twelve o'cl • their Royal Highnesses the PRINCE REGENT and Duke of YORK arrived at the Castle. At one o'clock the ICING returned to the Castle to dine. During this time the PRINCE REGENT had an audience eftheQuErN for a considerable time. At .wo o'clock his MAJESTY resumed his walk on the Terrace, attended by Gene. rals GARTH and MANNERS, his Equerries in waiting. The following is a copy of the Bulletin issued yes terday ; " WINDSOR-CASTLE, MARCH 17. His MAJESTY continues, much the same as he bas beep through the last week.". (Signed by all the Physicians.) •. • • Since out last we have received South Americas Journal., which present a variety of Official letters t i and other documents, shewing the rapid progress of revolution in that country ; and a code of civil and military regulations, from which we collect the en creased reverence with which the people of the coun try are to be treated, and the augmented severity to ,which the emigrant Spaniards are to IA exposed. One of these papers mentions, that a Treaty of Commerce has been concluded between the Deputies fiora Ca raccas, and the British Government.—Should the latter fact be correct, we may expect that at no very distant period the treaty will be laid before Parlia ment ; but we are inclined to consider this measure as rather in progress than regularly ratified. ~_ ~ _.. Private letters brought by a vessel which left New York on the 9th ult. state, that by the list advices from Washington information had been received that the House of Representatives was sitting with closed doors ; that the new Non•lntercourse Bill would not pass ; and that the former Non-Importation Act would be substituted for it. The reason assigned for this change was, the successful opposition of Mr. RANDOLPH to the measure, and its unfavourable re ception in the • Committee of Foreign Relations, to which, according to our previous accounts, it had been referred. Notwithstanding this statement, it is the opinion of many well.informed people- that the Bill of Mr. Epps will be converted into a law, but, per haps, with the addition of a prospective and important clause, that its operation shall be suspended until the President shall have been satisfied that, as far as re• spects the American sag, the obnoxious decrees of Berlin and Milan have been wholly and practically abrogated. It is stated in letters from Hamburgh to the sth inst. that all the troops in that and the contiguous maritime districts had received orders to march towards the in terier.of Germany. Different conjectures were form ed respecting the object of these movements. By some persons they were supposed to be preparations for col lecting a strong army of observation en the coast of the Baltic : it was the opinion of others, that they were made in expectation of a rupture with Russia, and that on the certainty of such an event, one of the first operations of the French would be to occupy the Prussian territories. The same letters mention that 1200 Norwegian sailors had passed through that city at the end of last month, on their way to Antwerp. A Decree had also been published, prohibiting the circulation in the de partments of Holland, and those of the Ems, of any newspapers, periodical journals, or musical works, printed in the department of the Mouths of the Rhine; and also interdicting the introduction of similar works, printed in the two first-named territories, into any part of the latter department. Advices from Vienna to the 16th ult. repeat the nt m2urs of the probability of a rupture between Fradce and Russia, which is there considered as matter of deep , regret on account of the part which Austria must ne cessarily take in the war. The Emperor FRANCIS, it: is said, is bound by treaty to make common caute with France. There were, however, no military pre parations in the Austrian territories to indicate a speedy expectation of hostilities. Except a small corps of ob servation on the Turkish frontiers, there was no nume rous force collected in any quarter. Notwithstanding the recent family connection between the Sovereigns of Austria and France, the war contributions imposed by the latter continued to be rigorously exacted in the states of the former. The Board of Trade finally determined on Satur. day upon the conditions on which the licences-to the . Baltic should be granted. The security, equal to the value of the ship and cargo, which it was in contem plation to require, is to be dispensed with ; but the name of the vessel, her tonnage, as well as master's 'name, and the port she sails from, must in future ap pear in the body of each licence. Upon complying with the above, permission will be given for the ge neral importation of Baltic produce, with the excep tion of spirits, stock-fish, and oil. The first Report of the Commissioners for the Her ring Fishery, appointed by the Act of 1808, presented this Sessions to the House of Commons, states, that the total number of barrels of herrings brought from the Fishery in 1809, which came under the cognizance of the officers amounted to 90,185 i, of which 42,5 i 8 had been cure d : gutted, and of these 34,701, had seen found entitled to bounty under the regulations of the Act. The amount of bounties paid was £3,991. 2s. By a late decision of the Board of Taxes, a shop window-trout, a glazed door in centre, (the whole being in one frame), and the posts or partitions be t Ween the door and the side windows not being of the breadth of 12 inches, is to be considered chargeable as one window only. The Sceptre, Caaneret,n, with 272 released French prisoners; the Brilliant, Visa, with 50; the Fortune, Nonce, with 48 • and the Hermione, RAILSTON , with '2BO, have sailed last week from Portsmouth, for Mor- lair. The 532 prisoners in the Sceptre and Her mione, are part of ROCHAMBEAU'S army, which capi tulated at St. Domingo in 1803. BONAPARTE., we understand, during the late negotiations upon the sub ject of an Exchange of Prisoners, under some pretext, made claim to the prisoners of Rocnasamtu'a army ; and in the spirit of liberality, without strictly regard ing the justice of the claim, they have been sent home. The Texel is now blockaded by the following squa dron : —.Bellerophon, 74, Rear-Admiral FERRiER ; Theseus, 74, Captain PROWSE ; Defiance, 74, Captain RAMETT ; Banterer, 18 guns, Captain WARM ; and the Pilchard schooner, of 4 guns, Lieut. H. Hiwirr. Sir EDWARD PELLEW, with the Christian VII. Bed ford, San Domingo, and Defence, remain in the Downs. The Turkish frigate Africa, Captain Imam, arri ved at Portsmouth a few days since, front Alexandria. She will sail for the River the first fair wind, to be fit. ted out by our Government for a voyage to Suez; the Object of which Is supposed to be some contmercial connections with th 4 country. - . ' • THU ARMI. By this time, all the reinforcements for our army, in Portugal, as well the regiments which sailed in the ripen of war under Sir Jowl' Yoftrat, as those which oiled in transports on Monday, from Portsmouth and . Plymouth, must have arrived at Lisbon ; the wind has been as fair as it could ever since their departure. Neither the 11th Light Dragoons, nor the troops from Ireland have embarked ; they, we believe, go as ano ther division, in a fleet now about to collect. A detachment of 160 troops, with eight Officers, embarked at Cowes, on board the ship Pearl, Captain CROKER, for the West-Indies. The Pearl joined the West-India fleet, which passed Cowes on Wednesday last, with a fine breeze from the Eastward, which has continued ever since. 1 Lieutenant-General Sir S. Corrox, Major-General LEITH, and Brigadier-General COLMAN, and their suites, are expected to leave town to-morrow or next day, for Portsmouth, to embark for Portugal. The SCYLLA brig of war sailed on Saturday se'nnight from Plymouth for Jersey, with two sloops under con voy, having a number of artificers on board, to build a citadel on that Island. The HOTSPUR, of 36 guns, Captain the Honourable J. r ZRCY, and the CYANE, of 20 guns, Capt.t.Comaaa, which sailed from Portsmouth on Wednesday with a• convoy for the Mediterranean, took out a large rein. forcement of Royal Marines for the fleet in tbs./fedi. terranean, under the command of Lieutenant K. S. PARKER. The HOTSPUR has also on board Colonel EUSTACEI and two other officers of the Chasseurs Bri tanniques ; Captain BLIGH, and Lieutenants LE La and MiCastan, of the Navy; Lieut. PHILIP CARROLL, Royal Marine Artillery ; Lieuts. PARKER and HALL, Royal Marines; Mr. HAY, 61st Regiment; and Mr. WARD. The HOTSPUR has money on board for Mes sina.--She afterwards goes to Malta, and then returns home General STEWART, brother of Lnrd CASTLEREAGH, Lieut. FrrzcLattzsca, and several other officers, lately returned from Portugal under an idea that their ser vices would not be wanted for two months, have re ceived orders to return to join the army. Lord HENRY FITZGERALD iS at Portsmouth, with his son, the Hon. Lieut. ARTHUR Di Roos, who is going out to join his regiment at Lisbon. The 10th Light Dragoons have received permission xo assume the epithet of " Royal;"—their facings, which were yellow, will now be changed to red. The 2d Battalion of Sir GEORGE NUGENT'S Regi ment (the 6th Foot), which has been stationed at i Preston for some time past, has received a route for the Isle of Man, with a view of receiving the men of. the Manx Fencibles, lately reduced. It is expected that both battalions of this fine corps will proceed to I India with Sir GEORGE. Official orders are given for assembling the Local, Militia in Great Britain for fourteen days training and exercising, exclusive of the day of marching.— All the men who have not been trained in any pre ceding year, are to be assembled for seven extra days preceding the assembly of the rest of the corps. No corps to be permitted to assemble before the Ist of April, or subsequently to the Ist of October. The Algeziras, Spanish 74, Commodore Don Mi guel Gaston, which sailed from Portsmouth for Cadiz on Thursday morning, has the following passengers on board : His Excelleecy Don Pedro Cavallo!. Ambassador from his Catholic Majesty to this Court, from the Central Junta. Don Manuel de Abela, Secretary tq, the Embassy of Don Pedro Cevallos and that of the Duke of Albuquerque; with his Lady, Son, anti Preceptor. Don Wereestxo de Villa Urrutia, • native o' Mexico, and cousin to the Marquis del Apartado. The Marchioness of Gamsneda, wife of the Treasurer of the Army of Coruna. Don F. Labragge and servants. • Miss F r itz. Elliot, native of Malaga. who goes to Cadiz, and servants. Don Francisco Inehaurregai, a native of Buenos Ayres, who goes to enter into the Spanish Guards. Don R. Munoz, Chapla;n of the Spanish Trish Regiment, who goes to join his regiment in the Isle de Leon. Dr. D. F. Flores, native of Guatimala, who is travelling and making chymical experiments. The Merchants of Cadiz, Don Ramon Biton and Don F. Mar tinez de la Rosa. Captain 'WILLOUGHBY, v.ho so gallantly defended the Nereide in the Isle Pas, is not dead of his wounds (as mentioned in some papers), but is quite recovered from their effects, excepting in the unfortunate loss of an eye. PROMIINADZ.—Yesterday Hyde Park and Kensing ton Gardens were visited by all the gay and fashion able inhabitants of London. The Ladies' dresses dis played an uncommon degree of taste. The blooming lilac and azure appeared the ruling colours. Among the most fashionable, the modest lily reclined in ant ficial wreaths round the brow. Flowers of every de scription were also worn on the head. The dress pelisses were of lemon, apple blossom, lavender, green and yellow silk. Shawls of all colours, with mantles, tippets, and cloaks of silk, were also conspicuous. We observed, for the first time this year, a numerous dis play of parasols. The entrance to the ride presented a most tumultuous scene. The great body of horse men and carriages produced clouds of dust, and re vived the confusion not uncommon in the dog-days. Captain AGAR drove his four greys, with Sir C. BUX TON inside. A second set-out by another member of the Whip Club made up the exhibition of four-ici-hand drivers ; their appointments were complete. The fashionables would form a long . list. All the gay folks in Town appeared brought Into a focus, and the ride displayed not only many horsemen, but females elegantly mounted. A singular bustle took place among the peaCatian groups. 1 Among the carriages were, The Duchesses of Gorden and St. Alban's, the Duchess of York, the Marchioness of Stafford, the Countess of Westinore• land, Earl et Wastingsniand, Lor4 Holland. ft. I W.' . 7 7 1F 4 7.7- THE LATE - DUKE or. CRAPTON. The death of the Duke of Gaavrox will occasion two contested elections in the University of Cambridge. one for the high office of Chancellor; the other for the vacancy in the representation, occasioned by Lord Eusrox's succeeding to his father's title. His High ness the Duke of Gr.ovcsvraa, and the Duke of RUT LAND, have already declared themselves candidates for the Chancellorship. The contest is expected to be severe. Each party will be left to his individual influence and merits, as Ministers decline taking any side, out of gratitude for the support which they re ceive from one of the candidate, and from the re- • spect which is doe to the pretensions of a branch r.f . the Royal family. The vacancy in the representation will be as warmly contested. Lord PALMERSTON has already commenced a very active canvass. He will be opposed by Mr. SMYTH, grandson of the late Duke yof tRAFTON, who once filled the office of Under Se cretary of State to Lord LIVERPOOL. A notice appears in the Gazette of Saturday, re. specting the funding of twelve millions of Exchequer Bills. The office is to continue open for that purpose every day, Sunday excepted, from Thursday the 21st, to Wednesday the 27th inst. By this. arrangement, the disgraceful scene whick took place on the former occasion will be avoided, and there will be.no room for partiality. Earl GREY, who has been expected in Town some days, is detained in Northumberland, by a 'serious accident that happened to Lady ---, GREY, his dee t daughter, who had a fall from her horse last weLk, by , which she has ever since been confined to her bed. Four beautiful Spanish horses were landed at Ports. mouth on Wednesday, from Gibraltar; a present from General CAMPBELL CO his Royal Highness the Duke of YORK. ARTHUR Youac, Esq. has undergone the operation of couching within these few days, with every proba bility of complete success. Mr. MACNAMARA, of Varel, an opulent merchant, has been arrested and sent under escort to Amsterdam. Tuesday se'nnight, a pilot boat was upset near the Rock Heads, Tynemouth Bar, and three people I drowned. Robert Pratt, of Berwick, mariner, was one of the sufferers. At the York Assizes, J. and W. Colley, aged 18 and 20, for horse-stealing ; and J. Whitelsta:t, for cutting the throat of Ann Ockleton, of Aldhorough, with in tent to murder her, were found guilty, and received sentence of death. A cause of no small consequence to Corporations, has been lately laid before the LORD CHANCELLOR, (who has ordered an issue to be tried at Chelmsford the ensuing Summer Assizes), upon the question- Whether a part of the Corporate Body of Colchester can alienate the property of the free Burgesses at large, without a Common Hall called fir the put pose ? The matter in dispute arose from the lands belonging to the Corporation at Colchester being Imortgaged to a Gentleman of the Temple for !000, to pay his bills of costs, in defending various suits ori ginating from the contest of the election for Recorder, in which the late Mr. Smythies (a candidate) per suaded a part of the Corporate Body to employ the public funds for that purpose. Puottrres.-In consequence of a dispute at the Fives Court, on Saturday, between Melineux, the black, and Power, a professor, they retired to St. Martin's street, adjoining, there to settle it. A battle ensued, which lasted twenty minutes, when finding, from the immense concourse of people who repaired thither, that to keep a ring was impossible, the seconds interfered, and we understand a purse is to be made for the com• batants for a future day. There were twenty-three rounds, during which Power, who was a great deal the lightest, experienced several severe falls. The greater number of rounds were in favour of Power, who chewed the most science, and provod himself a bottom man. The heads of both were swelled dread fully, and it was seen that it was the superior strength alone of the Black, that enabled him to face his ad• versary. Richmond seconded the Black, and an amateur took the part of Power. CORE EXCHILNGE, MARK-LANE, MARCH 18.-There are not many fresh arrivals of Wheat to-day, but to lerable supply on hand, and sales fully keep the prices quoted ; Barley likewise in tolerable supply, with a demand, and fine samples a tri fl e dearer ; Malt ind White Peas at little variation ; but few Beans of the two kinds ; the supply of Oats on hand is large, part of last week's arrivals, upwards of 60,000 quavers, but this trade is named fully at the late reduction.- Flour in plenty, and without variation.
