Although the Bulleting within these few days h 4 not been of an alarming nature, we regret to say, that the private accounts from Windsor are rather snore gloomy. His MAJESTY'S paroxysms still occa• sionally come on, although in a less obstinate degree than formerly. The following is the Bulletin of this day " WINDSOR CASTLE, JULY 23. His MAJESTY continues much in the same state in which he was yesterday. (Signed) " H. HALFORD, " W. HEBERDEN, WILLIS." Prayers tor his MAJESTY'S recovery, which'have been cbscontinued for some time, are to be resumed in all the Churches and Chapels, on Sunday next. The Darlington packet, the arrival of which, from , Lisbon, we noticed in the greater part of our impres e:on of yesterday, brings no confirmation of the sue cessful attack upon Seville by General BLAKE. It was thought that he would confine himself to a mere demonstration, and proceed by Ayamonte to Cadiz. ' Sontr had shewn no disposition to attack Lord W EL LIN GT ON, nor was it expected that he could do so with any prospect of success. The Lisbon letters are to the Bth July. British manufactured goods, of all descriptions, had fallen from 30 to 40 per cent. in value ; and, from the many vessels which lay then in the Tagus to discharge, they were expected to fall still lower. By the Darlington packet from Lisboa, we have received Cadiz Papers to the 28th June, from which Ive have made the following extracts : MURCIA, JUNE 1. • On the entry of our troops into Bazo on the Bth, they ivere received by the ringing of bells and the Most lively acclamations by the inhabitants, who stripped themselves in order to clothe them ; similar dispositions were manifested by the population of Granada, where, on the 13th ult. when it was only reported that our army war approacl , ing, the city was unpeopled, and the Cirnpo del Trinnfo filled with people, who joyfully collected to receive them. On the sth, the French placed three 24-pounders in Alhambre, and conducted their bageage to that fortress.

CARLSCRONA, JUNE 2. Sir James Saumarez has not appeared in the Baltic. It appears that affairs have taken a pacific turn. Go. vernment, nevertheless, persists in tho intention of not deviating from the measures it has taken, relative to Great Britain. . ANHOLT MAIL An Anitolt Mail arrived this morning, bringing it great vativty of continental intelligence, but not of first rate interest. Another insurrection among the Janissaries has taken place at Constantinople. The, follnwinglete extracts from the Journals on this and other subjects, brought by the Mail CONSTANTINOPLE, MAY 25. 'le intelligence which we daily receive from the banks of the Danube, is very satisfactory ; every thing leads us to suppose that the enemy will confine them selves to act defensively this campaign upon the left side of that River. MAY 26.—A fresh bloody scene has taken place among the Janissaries ; it was so violent that the 25th and 31st companies fought several hours in the streets of this city. Much excess has resulted from it—many ships have been pillaged, and some rich merchants even obliged to ransom their property. At last the consequences were becoming so serious; that the Grand Seignior was obliged to send to the Chiefs of the Janissaries a Hati Sherif, by which he rendered him responsible for what might occur, and ordered him to keep the Janissaries disarmed whilst they ,re mained in the capital. This energetical order re established tranquility. The firmness of the Pacha maintained tranquility lin the suburbs of Pera and Galata ; the order which he gave to instantly put to death whoever appeared inclined Obrevolt, greatly contributed to it. Ten companies of the Janissaries set out in ten days to rejoin the army of the Grand Vizier. They write, under d4te of the J 9th May, from the camp of the Grand Vizier at Schumla, that 30(X) men of his army had taken possession of Neopolis and Sistow ; and that under the supposition that the Rus sians were disposed to evacuate Silistria, detach meats had marched towards the place in order to oc copy it. NAPLES, JUNE 4. There have been batteries erected along the coast, from Naples to Reggio, upon the most commanding points, to prot-ct the anchorage, which for the future will be perfectly secure. These measures displease the Engi.sh very much s they therefore do every thing in their power to prevent the works from being carried on, which however continues, in spite of their can- nonading. The last intelligence from Corfu states, that that island enjoys the most perfect tranquillity; provisions are i n the greatest abundance in it, and co9tinual sup ' plies arrive from the ports of Italy. nrrnit PRISONERS IN PRANCE. The night appropriated by the liberality of Mr. 11Aims, of Covent• Garden Theatre, for the Benefit of the BRITISH PRISONERS in France, is fixed for Thursday next ; when, in addition to the valuable services of the regular Performers of that Theatre, Mr. BRATIAM and Madame CATALA.NI have kindly offered their assistance.—lt is to be hoped, that on so patriotic and benevolent an occasion, there will be an overflowing house. THE ARMY. It is said that Marshal Beassronn certainly comes home. Lord WELLINGTON has appointed General HILL to the command which the Marshal possessed. - - The office of Paymaster of Widows' Pensions, held by the late General Fox, is, we understand, to be abolished, being altogether a sinecure, and a butthen upon funds too limited for the distressed objects to whose relief they are appropriated. The sth Dragoon Guards expect to form part of another heavy Brigade, to be sent out to Lisbon. The division of troops for Lisbon of 3000, under Brigadier-General BYNG, of the Guards, only wait for the wind to sail. Last week the gallant Sir DAVID BAIn6 reviewed part of his regiment, which is going to Lord WEI:- uxoTos, and saw them on board of sla4ll, The gallant Colonel TURNER, of the Portuguese Hussars, and Col. IRONMONGER, have returned from Portugal.—Colonel TURNER has lost an arm. It is supposed that a Brigade will be formed from the household cavalry troops for service in Portugal, and such a brigade as no country in the world can produce ;•but while France and Germany send on service their Imperial Guard, why should not we ? Saturday, the Edinburgh regiment of militia marched from Edinburgh Castle, for Leith, there to embark for Harwich. They were replaced by the Argyllshire, from Linlithgow. The fleet of Indiamea, under the convoy of the LAURISTINA, the Hon. Capt. GORDON, will sail the moment the wind comes round. The Commander-in- Chief for India, Sir Gisonoe NUGENT, with Colonel MACGREGOR MURRAY, Captain FRAZER, and a nume rous suite, proceed by this fleet. Doctors BURKE and STRACHAN, with a considerable number of the Medi cal Gentlemen, go out by this fleet to the Mauritius. That excellent regiment, the 16th, or Queen's Light Dragoons, is instantly to be hulsared ; as a mark of his Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT'S approbation of its gallant conduct during its three years hard ser vice in Portugal. A detachment of 900 fine men, from the 2d batta lion of the 57th Regiment, with the undermentioned Officers, Captains CasIPBELL and Mossmax, and Lieutenant WATSON, embarked at Jersey on the 1:;tlr 1 inst. on board the Osborn transport. The men were l in excellent health and high spirits. This detach ment is commanded 1?y Captain *Lama, and is to proceed direct jo Portugal, - under convoy of the PICKLE gun-brig. The arrival of this draft will again enable that gallant Regiment, the 57th, to take t!.e field, and, no doubt, will, the-first opportunity, again distinarrish themselves as they did so particularly at the glorious battle of Albuera. John Smith, private in the Ist orWestern Regiment of Renfrewshire Local Militia, was last week brought before the Justices'of the Peace, for that county, and sentenced to pay a fine of £lO sterling, or be cc-.n fined six months in Bridewell, in terms of the Local Militia Act, for non-attendance during the time the regiment was last crnbotEctl. He accordingly paid the ten pounds and was thereupon dismissed. A letter from an Officer in Portugal, dated the 4th inst. speaking of the loss sustained by different regiments, during the last and present campaigns in the Peninsula, states that of the 13th Light Dragoons, as exceeding any thing on military record. This fine regiment embarked for Portugal about IS months ago, and was then nearly 1000 strong : added to which, it is computed that reinforcements, to the amount of about 500, have, at subsequent periods, been sent out to join them. At the date of the letter alluded to, they could only muster 60 men and horses fit for duty ! It must, however, be observed, that upwards of 200 have, at different times, been made prisoners, and a number • e them are in the hospitals wounded. Still, however, the aggregate loss of this regiment has been very great ; and the havoc they made among the enemy, who were at different times opposed to them, must have been much greater. They formed the advance during the whole of the pursuit after Massena's army, from the time of his retreat till he was driven out of the Portuguese territory. E'xtract of a letter from a British Officer, now serving in Spain, to his friend in Edinburgh :—" Pro bably you may have heard of the very polite and ac commodating behaviour between the British and French soldiers, whenever the nature of, their duty will permit. This mutual confidence is at the same time a flattering contrast. During the time our army remained in the position near Fuentes, our company on picquet had possession of a fine water spring. The French sentinels used to advance within 50 yards (sans reremonie) and leaving their canteens, would re tire. John Bull kindly took the hint, filled the vessels, and then replaced them.—The thirsty Frenchmen then returned, and after making profound obeisance, carried off the prize." LIMIRICK, JULY 13.—Tuesday evening, after the business of the Fair of Hospital ended, the town was much endangered by a numerous mob assembled on the -Green, who declared they would sacrifice the lives of many before they retired. Informatien being sent to the Barracks, Lieutenant Jona ATKINS, of the North Cnrk, with h detachment of 10 men and a con stable, repaired to the field, and though remonstrance was repeatedly used, it proved without effect, and several of the soldiers muskets and persons injured by vollies of stones, the arm of Seteant JAMES GRAHAM was broken by a stroke from one of the country peo ple, who, though frequently charged, kept pressing on the troops, until they were reluctantly obliged to fire, by which a man named Kentrily was killed, and two others wounded. The thanks of the Inhabitants of Hospital_are expressed to Lieutenant ATKLNS, for his condutt on the occasion. - _ ;.-., a d • g NJr4L lATRLLIGENCE. • • FALMot7: H, fitLY so.

Mr. BOND, his Majesty's Cartsnl General to the Middle and Southern States of America, and family, arrived at Liverpool, on Friday, in the American ship Susquehanna, Captain EDWARD Metre, from Phila delphia. Mr. FORSTER had not reached the united States on the 18th of June. Extract of a letter from a Officer . of his Majesty's ship GIBRALTAR, dated Basque Roads, June 25 :-- 44 In the afternoon of Friday last the boats of the squadron at this anchorage were dispatched by Corn. modore PLAMPIN, under the orders of Lieutenant HARRINGTON Of this ship, to intercept a convoy of 1 about twenty chasse marees, deeply laden, making a 4 run from Isle d'Aix to Rochelle. Lieutenant H. in a dashing style, drove the greater part under their batteries ; but unfortunately while wearing off shore, the barge, in which he was, received a shot in the stern-sheets, which killed three men and wounded • four ; the boat immediately sunk, having a twelve. pounder carronade with a proportion of shot in her. It is with disgrace to the enemy I inform you, four batteries instantly confined their object (with round i and grape shop) to the sinking boat ; however we sustained no further damage, as the SCEPTRE and DIANA'S boats immediately picked them up, with the exception of the three killed. The enemy's force under the strong battery of Isle d'Aix, is one line of battle ship and three frigates, 'seemingly with no par ticular wish to be conveyed into an English port, as they have their batteries very near." The American brig Alert, from Bourdeaur, is ar rived at Portsmouth, detained by the VESTAL, Han. Captain BERKELEY, * This vessel, soon alter she left Bourdeaux, was fatten in with by the SEMIRAMIS, dap. tain RICHARDSON, who put several hands into hely! and sent her for Plymouth. When they arrived off . Ushait, the Americans rose upon the British seamen, and took possession of the ship. Four of the men , they battened down, and the others they sent adrift in the joily.boat. Soon afterward the Vvirat. fell in with the Alert ; the Captain represented the inutility of detaining him, as he had been just boarded by the SEVIRAMIS. Captain BERKELEY, hewever, Was not satisfied with this reason ; and upon his expressing his determination to send the vessel into a British port, the American Captain told the truth, and, according. ly, four men belonging to the SEMIRAMIS were disco. vered in the hold. The men sent away in the jelly boat bave rot been beard of. .
