His MAJESTY " continues to go en well," and we hope very soon to have the happiness of announcing his perfect recovery. Yesterday his MAJESTY walked on Windsor Ter race, accompanied by Drs.WlLLis and BAILLIE, from twelve till one o'clock, and from two till four, accom panied by General MANNERS. The QUEEN and Princesses ELIZABETH and MARY took an airing to Frogmore Lodge, and walked hi the Garden, and returned to the Castle at two. The Royal Mary yatcbt, lying at Deptford, has undergone an examination, in case of his MAJESTY going to Weymouth, to attend him there. A Cartel arrived' yesterday from Morlaix. At the time of its departure it was understood that the Em bargo was still continued in all the French ports of the Channel. --- - Mr. PERCEVAL, when the Reporters were out of the House on Tuesday night, gave notice, that he would this day move that the House should give notice to the East India Company of the expiration of their Charter. The Petition intended to be presented to the House of Commons, by the Manufacturers in Glasgow and its neighbourhood, contains the following melancholy representation : Of 9,560 looms, in Glasgow and its immediate vicinity, 3,889 were empty on the Bth of February last. In the four following weeks there must have been 500 more idle ;in all, 4389. The manufactur ing towns and villages in the country were still more deficient of employment : of 825 looms in Hamilton, 365 were idle at the same period. The followingl statement may be relied on as correct : Looms. Idle. Looms. Idle. Girvan - 500 400 Stevenston 105 ES Airdrie - 700 400 Castle Douglas 80 78 Stonhouse 60 59 Langholnz 150 105, Kilmarnock 300 460 t , Other places are in proportion ; so that the idle looms, in the West of Scotland, are taken below the truth, when stated at fifteen thousand. It is well known, that every loom laid idle turns another person out of the employment of winding, serving, ornamenting, &c. ; which, when taken into the account , swells the list of idle persons to thirty thousand." General GRAHAM will shortly be raised to the Peerage, by the title of Lord Viscount BALGOWAM, Baron BA RROSA. Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when Lieutenant-General Sir GEORGE NUGENT, Bart. was sworn into the Command of the Company's Forces in India, and a Member of the , Council at Fort William, in Bengal ; the General ' afterwards dined with the Directors at the London Tavern.—The undermentioned Commanders took leave previous to proceeding to their respective des tinations, viz. Captain BaJzott, of the Surrey, for Bengal. Captain KITAILR, of the Lord Castlereagh, for ditto. Captain JONES, of the Walthamstow, for ditto. Capt. RICHARDSON of the Dover Castle, for Ceylon and Bengal. Captain BARBER, of the Moffatt, for Bombay. The Duke of Bucciatuott, his Majesty's Lieutenant for the county of Edinburgh, has appointed the Right HonourableWlt.t.lAM Earl of ANCRAM to be Colonel of the Edinburgh regiment of militia, vice his Grace, who has resigned • and Sir GRORDE CLIR t, of Pennyenick, Bart. Sir lons Hors of Craighall, Bart. FRANCIS WALKER, Esq. jun. of Dairy, to be Deputy Lieutenants for said county. . The Leicester Militia is not incomplete, as stated by mistake in a former STAR. On the 18th of Octo ber last the Regiment was 36 men above its comple ment. The 2d Lancashire regiment of militia have taken the prison duty. at Dartmoor. The French prisoners lately brought from Penni cuick, and confined in Edinburgh Castle, were last week marched in two divisions for Greenliw. Upwards of 120 of the French Officers who arrived at Leith in the Romulus, have been sent to Selkirk and its neighbourhood, where they are to be quartered on their parole. The remainder will go to Fife. Some letters have been received from Riga, repeat ing the rumours of approaching hostilities between Russia and trance. In addition to the columns be fore mentioned to have proceeded to the Polish fron tier, others, we are told, have taken the direction of Courland, with the view of protecting that side of the country. A strong persuasion prevails that a Russian Mes seager has arrived with important dispatches from St. Petersburgh, but we cannot vouch for the accuracy of the conjecture. NAP4L INTELLIGZYCL PLYMOUTH, APRIL 2. Came in the POICTIERS man of war, front Ports mouth. Sailed SAVAGE sloop of war, with a fleet for the Downs ; Louts frigate, for Portsmouth.—The Captain SHORTLAND, which arrived on Tuesday, a few days since fell in with and chaced for several hours his Majesty's late ship Challenger, of 18 guns, which vesselwas proceeding to Brest, where she art ived and anchored under the Coquette batteries, after car. rying away her main-topmast during the cbace, which would have enabled the IRIS to run alongside her in half an hour, had she not been so near Brest.— Shortly after the lan fell in with and chaced two French frigates, (which it is supposed, must have been those than captured the Challenger, and not a 80 gun ship and a frigate, as has been reported) and at one time was within two gun-shots of them, but unfortu nately they escaped. It is supposed they are hound to Batavia, with a reinforcement of troops for the garrison there. PORTSMOUTH, APRIL 3. Arrived his Majesty's ship PLANTASENIT, from St. Helen's to Spithead. Sailed ST.

The merchant vessel, Islam, arrived at Liverpool, from Carlisle Bay (Barbadoes), has brought Newspa pers from that Island ; in one of which we find the following statement : 4 4 We have been furnished by a Gentleman, passen ger on board the ship Cornwall, Captain PEAT, bound to Jamaica from London, which arrived on Sunday last, with the following particulars of her voyage here, after having lost her rudder in a gale she encountered in the Bay of Biscay. The Cornwall had '2OO recruits and 16 officers on board, for the different regiments in the West Indies ; the whole under the command of Captain CAMERON, of the 6th West India Regimer.t : On the 3d of January, in lat. 45. 18. she encoun tered a very severe storm, which increased in the even ing with such violence, as to endanger her safety.— During the night the gale still continuing, she unship ped her rudder, which, on disengaging, tore away the helm, stern, and counter, but fortunately did not injure the stern post, or she must have foundered. She was thus rendered a wreck, and became completely unmanagable. " On the following morning the wind abated ; but in the afternoon it blew a hurricane, when all on board, amounting to nearly 300 souls, momentarily expected a watery grave. Captain Peat, having foreseen the storm, had fortunately placed the ship in its best pos sible state ; and, during the gale, the exertions of him self and crew are beyond praise: " At the dawn of day on the Stb, the gale subsid ed, and a gleam of hope succeeded, depending on the friendly assistance of some vessel that we might fall in with, as we had the signal of distress flying. . \ bout two o'clock a ship hove in sight, and came down to witness this scene of wretchedness. When she came within hail of the Cornwall, the Master having ob served our loss of the rudder, promised to keep by us. Allowing, however, no further time for conversation, he unexpectedly shot a-head ; and as the sea was run ning mountains high, no boat could be sent off to ex plain the assistance we required :—thus, when a pros pect of relief was in view, did this monster in the shape of a man make sail from us, and left the mise rable to their fate. 44 After being thus abandoned, it became necessary to devise some method of governing the ship ; a jury rudder was therefore made by means of a spare fore top-yard, at the end of which were fixed pieces of square plank, to serve as a paddle, reeved with blocks and tackle, ingeniously contrived by Captain PEAT and his Carpenter ; this served as a rudder ; and re quiring great power to assist in steering, was supplied by the exertions of the soldiers, under the direction of Captain CAMERON', who regularly did this duty until the 13th, when it was contrived to work with the wheel of the lost rudder. Considerable delay was occasioned by the repairs this machinery required, and the im provements that were daily discovered, which render ed the working of the vessel more steady ; and by un paralleled assiduity and perseverance, the vessel was safely brought to anchor in Carlisle Bay on the 10th instant." CARLISLE-BAY, FEBRUARY 16. Arrived his Majesty's brig SWAGGERER, from St. Thomas ; Mail-boat sloop Industry, from Berbice ; brig John James, from Halifax ; schooner Swift, from Baltimore ; sloop Mary Ann, from Charleston (S.C. ); and a number of American vessels from different parts of the United States. The ship Lord Collingwood, from Demerara bound to Liverpool, anchored here on Thursday last, having sprung a leak ; she is now repairing. Ship Sally, KNUBLE, from Liverpool bound to Antigua, arrived there on the Scl inst. The Master of the Sally did not report the Cornwall on her arrival at Antigua. FROM LLOYD'S LIST. The Hope, Clarke, from Limerick to London, it put into Crookhaven, in distress. The Active, Wallace, from Galway to Rathmel. ton, sailed from Galway the end of December ; was spoke early in January, off Lough Swilly, in a gale, and has not since been heard of. The Fleece, Andols, from Waterford to Londoa, got on shore in Waterford river, on the 27th Ilk, a n d immediately filled with water. We understand that convoys for the Baltic will sail from Leith Roads and Long Hope, Orkney, on Mon. day, the 15th inst. Captain Knit, of the Unicorn frigate, is appointed to the Acasta frigate, now fitting at Plymouth ; and Captain SALT, of the Royal George, to the Unicorn. List of the French fleet in the Mediterranean : Majesteut, l'Austerlits, Commerce de Paris, and Wagram, of 120 guns each ; Donawerth, of SO ; l'Ulm, Danube, Breslau, Suf. (rein, Genois.

THE MAPLESTIIOM.—A Danish paper states, that this dreadful whirlpool, situated to the westward of the coast of Lapland, has, within the last two years, increased its phenomena. It now stands 15 minutes every fifth hour. Vessels at the distance of eight or nine English miles are no longer safe ; and its attrac. tive force, when agitated by a storm, will even reach them, or the larger kind of animals, at the distance of ten miles, and impetuously hurry them to certain de. struction in the gulph. Two vessels, bound from Norway, to the Vigten Islands, having been drover last summer within nine miles of the Maplestrom, and imagining themselves secure, as its operation was thought to be confined to six miles, were on a sudden carried away by the torrent, and with their crews en. tirely lost. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. !BARTON-ON-HUMBER MEETING. These Races commenced on Thursday. A vast concourse of spectators were drawn together by the no. velty of the scene, and the fineness of the weather. Alo , t of the Races afforded excellent sport. The Subscrip. tion Purse of 70 guineas, was won by Mr. Richard. son's Tutelina, beating Mr. Hotham's Ganymede, Mr. King's Driver, Mr. Grayburn's Opie, and Mr. Jackson's Mansfield. The Hunter's' Purse of £.O, was won by Mr. Richardson's horse Bowlback, beat. ing Mr, Holgate's br. mare, Mr. Grant's Jacob, Mr. Sihonswar's Waxey, and Mr. Scolefield's Alonzo.— The Hunters' Purse of £5O, the property of the Members of the Club, was won by Mr. Morris's Harry Row, beating Mr. Richardson's Precipitate, Mr. Grayburn's Idris, and Mr. Scrivener's Blackbird; after which a very good Pone)? Race afforded much sport. This Meeting is likely to draw much company, and afford excellent sport to Barton and its neigh , bourhood for future years. A Meeting of the Roman Catholics of the Count , Down took place at Newry on the 25th of Marc:.. They agreed to certain resolutions, by which tl :: declared their concurrence with the Catholic Com• mittee, in the Petition to the Legislature, and adopte4 as their own the Address of condolence and Loyaitv, voted to the PRINCE REGENT at the late Aggr:g itr Meeting held in Dublin. It would not be imagined, from the prices given st the Duke of QUEENSBERRY ' S sale yesterday, that tcre was any want of money in the kingdom. The c:.l family plate, out of fashion, massy, and fit only to be melted, sold at eight shillings per ounce. and every thing else above its value. Tlse fumitu:e was not of modern fashion, though rich and elegant. The only article which called for particular attenoco was a beautiful Parisian table on gilt pillars, and the top painted with the signs of the Zodiac, it fell and:: t he hammer for £l3. ss. The/au/cud, which so lo -.g supported the venerable Peer at his window in Pico. dilly, was sold for NS. The parlour chairs, p ,in:ed and covered with blue silk and silver lace, the French couch and canopy, and other articles sold well. Mr. Justice La Bcksc, previous to his departure from York on Friday, reprieved all the unhappy per. sons =de; sentence of death. BOXERS.—Besides the battle which is to be fought in a month, between Molineaux and the Lancashire man, Horton the Bristol man, has engaged to corn bat Molineaux in six weeks after the first battle, and it has been agreed to on each side. Sunday evening, as Mr. Scarratt was retumirg from Hackney to his house in Milk street, he fell into a sewer in the Hackney-road, a depth of eight feet, and sustained a contusion in the temp le which caused immediate death. Tuesday night about ten o'clock, as Mr. Comae, of Newgate-street, accompanied by two friends, were returning to London in a single-horse-chaise , the vehicle struck against a pest at Queen's.elm, in the Walham-green road, by which it was u p set. Mr. Cooke received a fracture on the side of his head, which, it is feared, he will not survive. 1 Wednesday, Adam Lyal, some t ime since con• victed of highway robbery, before the High Court of 1 Justiciary, was executed, at the wes t end of the Tol booth, Edinburgh, pursuant to the sentence of that Court. Two marines were executed on board his Majesty's ship Zealous, at Lisbon, on the Sth ult. for the murder of a Serjeant of Marines. The deceased Se-:? r't 1 1. 1 - d been sent with the two prisoners to do duty o 1 1 one of the prison•ships in the Tagus. In the cni ru of the night they planned to call the Serjeant . from his cot, under pretence of being wanted. On hts pro. cee ding to the part of the ship r e q uested, they way laid him, and shoved him overboard. They after. wards confessed the crime, stating that they no rest since they committed it.
