Another account says—" The KING remains in the same state, but is not able to take the exercise of walking in Ws suit of rooms." On Saturday Doctors MoNRIE and SIMNIONS wcre called into attendance, and were afterwards exa mined by the Queen's Council. Yesterday about half-past two o'clock, the PatNcit REGENT, attenied by Generals TCItNER and KEPPLW arrived at the Treasury to held a Court, which war attended by the Lonn CHANCELLOR, the First Lord, of the Treasury, the CHANCELLOR of the ExcazouEn, the three Secretaries of State, the President of the Board of Controul, the President of the Board of Trade, the Judge-Advocate, and Duke of MONTROSE. His Royal Highness gave audiences to the Lotto CHANCELLOR and Mr. RYDER, and then proceeded to tholcl a Privy Council, to which the Recommit s Of nIiONDON was admitted to make his Report of the eight teen Convicts capitally convicted at the last Septem ber Sessions.

COYLNT•GARDEN—I.a , t night, a new comic Opera, " UP 10 Town," was brought out at: this Theatre, of which the following are the principal Dramatis Person and Fable The Dispatch packet leas arrived with Maiis and • dispatches from New-York and Halifax. The Papers from Halifax are to the 19th ult. but they contain no news of a political nature. His Majesty's ship MA.. WILLA had arrived at Halifax with General Sir JOHN SnEmsnoottE and suite on board, from this country. His Majesty's sirip MELma pus, Captain HAIFICER, had ;Irina at Halifax, from Quebec. The private advices from America by the above packet, are understood to he of a pacific nature, and i a conjectur.: is hazarded in all the 'communicatior4 which we have seen, that at the meeting of Congress' Oa the 4th instant) all restrictions on commerce, would be removed. /Is a confirmation of the above we have to add, th seers have reached town from the most respec tab I souses in America, f large supplies of British' pee els, to be ready by the I.t of January. Similar tr . dep have been received in Birmingham, Sheffield, Liverpool, and Manchester. While all these pro ceedings seem ro contradict the recent rumours of an i Embargo being expected, we ought to caution. , our loaders against a too implicit confidence in. the intelligence thus received ; and we may add,. that the great profits which would arise to the mer chants of the United States, were the restrictions now imposed removed, may operate as a power ful inducement to speculation. The advantage 'on the exchange is at least QS per cent. and on' first 6f the manufactures 30 per cent. which would Augment in price in that proportion, if the Testae tirons un trade to the United States were withdrawn... 'I he American frigne Constitution is arrived at Port9moutla from Chkhnrgh, with Mr. RUSSELL, the .jart Charge d'Akaires to the French Government, who is on his return to America, for the supposed' purpose of succeeding to the Secretaryship of State for Foreign Affairsr Sir Giles Jovial . - Mr. BLANCHARD.

Fir Giles Jovial and old Mr. Overton agree that Ottorgl Jovial, the non of tier firmer, shall many Eliza, ward to Mr. Overton. George is, on this account, sent for to town from a *hooting ex cursion, &hug which he ha, fallen in love with the itimate of a cottage, who is no ether than the Lady intended for him, bur who passes foe airusiic, C. make obsetvadoes on Ms cl aracter. and succeeds io fascinating him—and, en his leaving the village, follows hilts to London, taking with her, as a companion, Famiy Farmfield, daughter to the old cottagt r with whom she had re-,- sit ed. Fonny's rustic lover, John GL-be, imagining George's visits to the citreage had been made to his intended, and that she had left the cumiery on Go-urges account, s is off a'so to town to punish her supposed seducer,' and is accompanied by Peter, 4 country post-master, who, being superseded in office, goes to solicit his reinstatement. Harry Ovirtcm and his wife are yonmo people, who, feeling the effects of form• r ex ravae,-ance, are begin nine a pan of rei:euchment and, with this view, Glib, a lawya ' (who blends a ate ong partiality fur the country with his town fursuits), is empliiyed to call Harry Overton's creditors together, in hopes toarcert the anger of h's uncle, eel Mr. Overton, who has. resolved, that if ever Harry is involved in debt, to renounce 1 all connection with him. . Sir Gales Jovial has also made a reso lotlon, that if his son George is ever concerned in a dui), t•e dis inherit him. The jealous, but mistaken, Farmer Glebe, on his arrival, sends George- a challenge• about the Same time that an appointment is made for Harry Overton to meet his creditors ; but, through a mistake of Peter, who is half tlpsey, when he carries a double message, Glebe is appointed to meet Harry Overton, and Gearge Jovial is tit rat to Harry's creditors—the two old Gentlemen, by the same mistake, get notice of those arrange ments, and at the place of rendezvous a general ecclaAvissemerfi takes place—the young men are received into favour. Grim?* recognises his lovely rustic in the Lady he is to marry, and the anger of John Gletie ends on his union with Fanny. The Author of this Opera is Mr. 'l'. DIBIA,N. The performance was heard with little interruption until the last Act, when dissatisfaction not only appeared, but grew loud ; and-the concluding- scene was en tirely inaudible from the clamour of dislike. Mr. FAwcErr, as the curtain dropped, advanced to an, nounce the repetition of the Opera, but not a word that he said was heard. The performers did every thing in their power to stipmt the piece, and are de serving of the utmost praise for their exertions. The Music, by Messrs. REEVE, CON DELL, WHITA• and WELSH, had nothing very striking in it. The following may be taken as a favourable to cimen of the poetry • "F0,....— Ma. .. e 4NCLAIIL. • Tell me, Eliza, must I yield 'that lovely band, that heart relin'd, Letters were yesterday received from the French co.tst : and it is most remark4b!e, that no saner has ti e rumour of approaChing hostilities betwt en France 'and Russia subsided in.our Northera _correspcndence, tl an it is revived in that with the opposite shores.

It is, however, proper to add, that though such is the general fenour of the Continental lettt rs, yet some are of a difflrent description ; of,which we insert the following, received yesterday from Frankfort, dated the 12th of October : tF '.`r . .ost of the troops belonging to the Confedera tion of the Rhine, ii.cluding those of Hesse Cassel, which have been taken into the pay of France, con. tieing altogether of between sixty, and seventy thou,. sand !nen, has a received orders to march.

" The 'last fair in th:s town has been the most flourisingfor many years. Colonial produce fetched high prices, and the best coffee sold 'tor seven or Sr. , per lb.

With an idea of relieving Ciudad R3drir, the enemy c.,rne down upon this town with an int mense fence ; and the advance of diont innumerable cavalry was a tine, though an al inning sight. I assure you, in this link affair, w if have bent detailed yoo ere no .v, the 11th and 1211. Brni.h dra goons behaved with unparalleled bravery. totting their way thr .ugh the enemy': immense force several times. Fionre Guinalda stands oa an extensive plain, and the convent of it, every movement could be plainly seen. When the sup:nattily et the enemy's force was accurately ascertained, t; hat a saws f illou eJ ! The French were pr.ur;ng into nne end of the place, and at the other the distressed bitantswere flying away. What a scene of horror • and confusion did the raids from Gitinaldo to Cas celles dos Flores, and from thence t't Allayates, pre sent ; women offering up intreaties to cur soldwts to put their children in the prevision ears ; sick natives, , crawling from their mis:rable abodes, fearful, for the third time, of experiencing French prointiets the Bri tish and I'. rttigucie army crossing tie river, followed by the heavy artillery, and some nattering train ; 6000 muses going off with the baggage; others loving it behind to accelerate their flight ; our own sick and wounded'receiving medical aid, while re treating over a rugged roai, almost impervi us ; such were the scenes of a movement, f o r A retreat we must not term it, as we are again in the carne ditec tian. The enemy drove us from the front of, and all around Ciudad Rodrigo, into which the French successfully threw supplies : I think this wan the only ohject they wished to accomplish. At ttlfayates, Lord Watunieros, during the advance of the enemy upon It, displayed his usual magnanimity and cou rage. Alfityate s stands on an emineace, and over looks the wood and plain between it and Cascelles dos FLres, alongside of the Castle 'furrett stood his Lordship, General STUART, and Lord 7.011111 T MAN• NUM ; and it was not until the cavalry of theenerny were at the very entrance of Allayates (which I think is the most wietchtii place in Portugal), that either of them made a move ; his Lordship stood, with his slats in his hand, watching the enemy's movements ; and to the superior speed of English horses, was Lord Rosana. IVIANNEES indebted for l'ia safety, being the last of the three ; coming down the hill, hail the villey, he was closely parnued by ten of the enemy's dragoons, and his base leaped over one. of the high walls, so peculiar to Portugal in the sepa. ration of its fields, and thereby with pod Mannar, left his pursuers in the rear." The detachment of the 4th Battalion of the First Royals, landed at Gravesend on Friday last, from Leith, consisted of 675 men—they were accompanied by upwards of 200 of the 25th regiment of foot. Parties of the sth, 28th, 461 h, and 62d regiments are now recruiting in Plymouth, from the volunteers of. the Roscommon and King's County Militias-- The sth, commanded by the Gener a l o f the Plymouth district, (Enocann) meets with the greatest success.
