.... TIIE KING. - "pit ARMY. An embat4ation of troops for Jersey will take place immediately is Portsmouth. Those at present on their route'ar4, the 2d Battalions of the 7th, 50th;and 81st regiments, amounting to 1,500 men. The Ist di vision of the 50th regiment marched into Hilsea Bar rack on Saturday morning, from East Bourne. Yesterday the first division of the Seth Regiment, commanded by Colonel HILL, embarked at Ports- Mouth for the island of Jersey. This day the second battalion of the gallant and ever-memorable Fuzileers, who turned the tide of battle at Albuera, embarked for the same place. The second battalion of the 81st Regiment embarks for the same destination on the following days and so little apprehension has Government for the safety of these islands at the present moment, that we understand it is the inten tion, on the arrival of the above reinforcements, to detach the Canteronians and 77th Regiment to Lord , WELLINGTON. Cavalry transports are ordered from Portsmouth and Plymouth, to Ireland, to take in 2000 cavalry to t Portugal.

Agreeably to the directions of the Regency Act, the Queen's Council assembled on Friday and Satur day last to examine the Physicians and make their llc;ort on the state of his MAJESTY'S complaint. On Friday they met at the house of the Earl of WIN (.llll.gliA. They were all present except the MASTER of the R2LLS, who was absent from indisposition. The LORD CHANCELLOR. the Archbishops of CANTEIMURY and YORK. the LORD CHIE F J USTICE o f the KING'S Bum, the Loan STEWARD of the HOUSEHOLD, the 14.18TER of the HOR-3E, and the GROOM of the STOLE examined . some of the PhysiciOff; and on Saturday they proceeded to Windsor, where they concluded the , examination, and made up their Report. His MA.; MUTT ) as has uniformly happened on every approach of these periodical examinations, had a lively pa roxysm of the disorder, and as our readers will see by the Bulletin, passed a sleepiess night. As we antici pated, however, the Report of the Council if under stood to be of a nature which would not authorizethe immediate establishment of an unlimited Regency, *insistent with that delicate reserve and respect for his Massarv's feelings, which has distinguished the filial conduct of the Patxcx. The substance of the i Report is said to be— 1 The Roscommon regiment of Militia have arrived at Exeter, on their way to Plymouth, to do garrison -duty. The first division of them marched this day from Exeter. All the Militia regiments in garrison at Plymouth have been reviewed during the week, before Govern ment-house, by General ENGLAND, the Lancaster regiment excepted. The latter are to have a grand field day to-morrow—after being relieved in their duty on board the prison ships by the Cheshire regi , ment. " That from the late symptoms of his MAJESTY'S disorder, although there may be an eventual prospect a recovery, yet, from the increased irritation on seve ral late occasions, they are by no means so sanguine as they were when they made their last Report." The MELPOMENE frigate has arrived at Plymouth with a fleet of light transports, (between 20 and SO sail,) from Lisbon ; she sailed from thence on the- 9th ult. A few invalids, and some women, whose husbands have died or been, killed, together with a number of children, came home in two of these vessels. It is said that since the system of rigoreus restraint The following account of a late unfortunate dis. under the direction of Dr. Witus, has been adopted, turhance between an English and Irish Regiment of his MAJESTY has been more uniformly tranquil, more easily influenced to take refres t hotent and more pro. at Dublin, appears in one of the I r i s h P a pe rs raising as to his bodily health t ha n he was under the !received this morning : more relaxed regimen.

He completed the" task in twenty minutes. , Last week, a hair-dresser of Bath, (for a wager, ) undertook to run from the Old Bridge, Bath, to t he first house in Temple -street, Bristol, and return to Bath (above twenty-four miles) in 4 hours and 56 minutes, which wonderful task he performed in three hours and 51 minutes. .. 1 , CRICKET-MATCH EXTRAORDINARY.—The Cricket. match between the Hampshire and Surrey Females, which has been playing at Newington for 500 guineas a side, terminated on Friday, when the former won by 15 notches.

It is a last effort to banish from remembrance those titles, the retention of which must' keep in mind the usurpations and atrocities of which NAPOLEON has been guilty.

PLYMOUTH, OCTOBER S. Yesterday it blew a heav; gale of wind at SOuth, changing afterwards to S.S.W. It continued with in creased violence through the night I and as it WAS an inshore wind most of the time, I fear we shall have to record a number of additional wrecks, both in the Channel, and on this and our neighbouring dangerous •coast. It has rather abated this afternoon ; but I fear it will increase again with the night, as is usual with a S.W. wind.—The SABRINA sloop of war came up harbour yesterday, to refit.—Yesterday arrived, the VANGUARD, 74, from the Downs ; the ORESTES, 18 guns, from a ctuize ; and the GROWLER gun-brig.. from Basque Roads. By the latter vessel it appears th•et our squadron on that station, and our cruizere all along the French coast, have been latterly most eminently successful in the capture and destruction of the enemy's chasse-marees, coasting vessels and convoys, 28 of which, of different descriptions, have, within the last 12 days, been brought into this port. About four o'clock this morning, during the tre mendous gale at S.W. the GROWLER gun-brig, which arrived only yesterday from Basque Roads, and was anchored between the Island and the Main, broke from her mooring!, and was driven on shore on the beach in Firestone Bay : her masts were cut away, and as she lies high and day, she will be got off with out further damage. None of her crew were hurt. The dock-yard at this port was never so well sup plied with ship timber and Naval stores of every de scription, as at present ; and, in addition to the nu merous vessels that have lately arrived with timber from Quebec, and other parts of British America, another large fleet (the last for the season) is daily expected from the same quarter. Dantzic oak, and Riga balk, are the only articles of which there are a deficiency, and for these we have very good substitutes. Arrived the ship Marys, CLARK, from Quebec, with dock-yard timber ; the sloop William , ELDER, from Gibraltar, last from Falmouth, bound to Ports mouth, with a cargo ; New Providence, RUBY ; and Aurora, HARVEY, from Waterford, with provisions.

EXTRACT !'Roar tea. TILOTTFR'S WORE. " Some time after the Chief Consul's levee, we dined at M. Talleyrand's. at Neuilly ; we went be tween six and seven, but did not dine till eight. Tee dinner hour at Paris had become ridiculJusly late, and as in London, in fas'aionable life, resembled atone the Roman supper than what accords with the modern term dinner. M. Talleyrand was at Mitlmaison tr e tn. sacting business with the First Consul, sand the diiincr waited for him. Every thing was in a profuse and elegant style; ,M. Talleyrand and Madame sac on di* sides ot the table ; the 'company, amounting to be tween SO and 40 (and this I believe did not much eat. ceed the ordinary daily nun her), were attended by almost as many servants, without any livery. Behind Madame Talleyrand's chair two young Blacks, spin. didly habited in laced clothes, were placed. The Master of the Feast devoted himself to a few distin guished persons around him ; on them he bestowed his most chosen and precious wine, and to them he di rected all his conversation. 61 Several Emigres and Ex-Nobles who had made their peace with Government, and were desirous of advancement, or sought relief or compensation under the new regime, were at the lower end of the table...-. They Were little noticed, or if I said were altogether :neglected, I should be more correct. As I sat near some of them, 1 was filled with concern for their al tered state : those who have never had an elevated station in life do not feel, comparatively speaking, half. the stings and arrows of outrageous fortune, when ca lamity and misfortune fall upon them. " The Duc d'Uzeze, formerly one of the first and most ancient Peers of old France, was close to me e .he was now a humble and distressed individual, di vested of title and property, and seeking, at the tablet of the Minister for Foreign Affairs under the Conies. lar Government, for natice and assistance. He had come to Neuilly in a hired one horse cabriolet. with out a servant or companion. He was of a • prepossessing, and ra th er y out hf u l appearane r seemed to bear his change of fortune with an admi rable degree of philosophy and good humour, and was even playful upon his own situation, and spoke. of the splendour and elevation of others without ran cour or envy. I could have imagined myself, after the battle of Brundisium; sitting at 3 Roman table. Julius Cs sar triumphant, and the exiles returning, and permitted to become guests of the triumphaep "The company was mixed. A young Naval °Seer sat:at the foot of the table. M. lianterive, of ths department of Foreign Affairs, was near me : he was sensible, unaffected, and well informed, of plain but conciliating manners i • he seemed a man of integrity and sincenty--estimable qualities in a court i er . Rcederer also was there, several officers, two or three, physicians, and a few English and other Foreigners. 64 In the evening Madame Talleyrand's circle cam e menced. The ccirps diplornatique flowed in, and the littnister the whole remainder of the evening trans.. acted •business with them. taking one add, at one op alba magi, lid another to 'mother. Count the Nast* of the band, was there. Each of the corps looked 41 unutterable things." interests of nations were thus discussed beside a pictere QC chitonappiece ; and I could not but ad. mire the dexterity and attention of M. Talleyrand.. The Prince of Sam Weimar took his leave this even ing of Madame, an his return to Germany t a pleas, ing young man,pramising to be respectable and V t; if his rant did not harden his heart, and pride its best avenues ! The Abatte Casti. Author of " Gli Animali Parked," added to the interest of the evening assembly—he was eighty years of age, his face was white, and his figure inclined with age. 'but he was vivacious, talkative, and gay. Admiral Brueys, a very animated little man, who is, I think, since dead, proud of his daughter, a very young girl, who danced inimitably ; R uss i an , German. Italian Nobles, and their spouses, and many polite and area. able French people, continued to come in and diversify the scene. Madame Talleyrand maintained a good ' deal of state, and was attended, on entering the draw ing-room, by two young females, elegantly dressed in white, and burning frankincense as she advanced. " Air. Fox alternately conversed or played at cards, always easy and always animated ; he who, in the retirement of St. Ann's Hill, appeared devoted to • a rural and philosophic life, so entirely as if he had never moved in the political sphere. now was th e polished and accomplished Gentleman, speaking Frerch, Italian, or Spanish, admired by all as much for the amiability of his character and manners, as he had long been for the splendour of his talents. As the weather continped extremely hot, the entertain. ments of the Minister for Foreign Affairs were verp Igreeable lathe country ; and the drive, on retarniag Puled* these charming serene nights, was vet., sat the least agreeable part of - the excursion. after this dinner, and henceforth, we dined Neuilly." . Friday night, the water rose higher at Pipit than has been remembered for some time past. the quays have been inundated, and much damage done to some of them. The beautiful battery of Mount Edgcumbe (known by the name of Queen Anne's Battery) has been nearly destroyed, and the guns that were mounted on it have been thrown dowa among the rocks beneath that romantic spot. Mush other damage has been dole.
