"WINDSOR CASTLE, Juwa 14, 18307 " The Kix° passed yesterday very comfortably. His MAJESTY has not had a good night; but his respiration remains more free. (Signed) " HENRY HALFORD. " MATTHEW J. TIERNEY." This day despatches were received at the Foreign Office from Lord STUART DE ROTIISAY at Paris, and from Sir CHARLES BAGOT at the Hague. Despatches from Brazil end Buenos Ayres, were also received at the Foreign Office. Despatches from the Swan River, dated January 20, were received at the Colonial office; and from Sydney, dated February 22d ; from Barbadoes April 23 ; and from St Thomas's May Bth. We have a Leewar Islandil, this morning, with advices from the different Islands, to the beginning of May. An Order in Council appears, dated Windsor, Feb. 2, for consolidating the several laws for the impro:•e ment of the condition of the slaves, in the colonies of Trinidad, Berbice, Demerara, and St. Lucia. By this it is ordered that a protector of slaves be appointed, who is not to be the owner of slaves himself, or the mortgagee of them; and who is at times to be resident at the district to which he is appointed, and who is not competent to act as a Magistrate. By this Order in Council, the S:,n day Markets are abciished. Ad ces :.re this mcrning received at the North South An,elican Cortex-house, dated Buenos Apr.: •:, 14th of March. They represent that the misfortta_es of that distracted country seem every day to increase, and its political aspect seldom—if ever—looked more dark than at the present moment. We can afford room to• day only to mention that a battle was fought—or rather a surprize took place—on the 25th of February, at La Guira Blanca, in the province of Cordova; in which the army of General QUIROGA was entirely routed, with great numbers killed and wounded : 1,200 prisoners were made ; and almost all QtrißOG a's artillery, baggage, &c. taken. General PAZ has been accused of perfidy— being represented to have made the attack at a time when an armistice existed. There is no question that the result of this battle will tend to prolong the civil war which desolates the country, and proves a serious blow to the federal party. It is added that Buenos Ayres, since the revolution of 1810, has never been so critically placed. Commerce and credit are at a stand—currency depreciated—and every prospect dreary, on account of the rancorous party spirit which universally prevails. We fear the question as to the conduct of Prince LroroLD, and the connected subject of Greek independ ence, has been lately so much under our readers atten tion, particularly if their patience has enabled them to plod through the voluminous documents %with which they have been supplied by Government, that they will not be inclined to dwell much'on a new series of documents, and new columns of disquisition, on the same important sub ject from France, even should they be warm admirers of the new reciprocity system ofliusictssow, to which per hap we may think ourselves indebted for the present im portation. Not, however, to throw too much slight on the French contribtc,ions alluded to, we would recommend our readers to peruse with a critical eye at this moment any productien from the pen of CAPO D'ISTRIASUId Lin correspondence with M. EY N ARD, a portion of which we give in another part of our paps, must be considered as interesting. Our opinion of the conduct of Prince LEOPOLD, we can state in a very few words. Were we addressing him as a personsl friend, we should say he had acted wisely in his abdication ; but we should add that he would have acted still wiser had he never contemplated the assumption of the authority he relinquished ; and we really think a little sagacity exercised on the affairs in t, hick he was about to take a part, would have brought him to that resolution :—that is, if not inclined to act a part, for the sake of the present peace of Europe, of con siderable personal risk. It was to be foreseen that the parties uniting in the Treaty were not actually united in their ulterior views. AT TWO O'CLOCK.

Cons. for Ace. 92j I It was to be foreseen, while the Government of this country would endeavour to establish the independence of the new Greek State, on as firm a basis as circumstances would admit, that the Government of another powerful negotiating State,would contrive to make the arrangement for the new state, as far as policy could contrive, ob noxious to future cause of quarrel and encroachment. We cannot readily relinquish our apprehension of Rus sian policy, always having covertly in it the object of fresh aggrandizement. It is natural to the state of that Empire. Never yet, in the history of man, was there any treaty formed between powerful States, having such conflicting interests as those which were treating on the present subject, without the adhesive matter, by which it was temporarily combined, being too much of the old punic manufacture, to hold together long. — Still the object is great, to effect even temporary ad herence ; and we think the present administration de serve credit for what they have accomplished, as it may enable them to accomplish more. In the present dearth of any actual intelligence on the various important matters in course of transaction around us, we are not surprised that some of our contempo raries, of yesterday, should have found occupation in rearing fabrics of speculation on imaginary bases—for as such we cannot as yet but consider the various rumours regarding a proximate change of administration. We are convinced that any change, to have its origin in a heart union between the two parties, which we think fortunately for the country, on some occasions, consti tute our Cote Gauche, almost an impossible contingency. We have too respectable an opinion, even of the public men standing prominent in both those parties, as to think such a discreditable amalgamation can take place ; but we feel doubly assured of this conviction, when we re flect on the character of the individuals who distinguish themselves as leaders of that branch of the casually com bined opposition, to which we hope the country may yet confidently look for much important good. We cannot believe that characters standing so high in public estima tion, and wielding an influence in the State—never per haps possessed before by any class of individuals without place—in the whole range of our history, should volun tarily sink themselves into insignificance, and suffer their honourable banner to be humiliated by an ignoble quartering. We should regret, indeed, to see acted over again any thing like the demoralizing coalitions of former times. The mere place-hunting party system of opposing Go vernment, we hope, like many other corruptions, has vanished before the intelligence of the age; and that no future ToLss D will be called forth to add any new facts to what we hope will prove—if it is not now—an obsolete art—" the art of governing by parties"—which, in other words, must always prove the art of governing without prin ciple. We believe the time has come when public men find it their interest to have principle—when they can afford to keep a conscience—and when that conscience, energising to noble exertion, will be found the most efficient mode of keeping them. If this time be not yet come, it is the duty of every public writer—if desirous of being ranked as a writer of principle—to hasten its aisival. It in tho indisputable point to which public men should be in flexibly held, by all who aspire to sway opinion, or to forward the interests of their country ; and we look upon any union of existing parties— sue '3 as has been, we believe, idly alluded to—as in %•oiving such a direliction of sound principle—such a de viation from the rule of right, as to be truly dishearten ing; and to merit that want of success, which always fol lows a public expression of disapprobation and contethi t. At present, candour requires of us to say, that we perceive nothing in the acts of Government which would form a reason for their dismissal ; and we are happy to say, as far as we have access to well-informed circles, such an event is not deemed probable, under any contingency immediately to be envisaged—if we may be allowed so far to infringe an Horatian precept, as to introduce and anglicise a very useful French word. At all events we shall not incline to speculate so on the good things which'some may think in futurity, as to— " Welcome the coming, speed the going guest," unless we can previously ascertain that the coming guest has not sacrificed in his approach that purity of intention, which can alone render him worthy of re ception. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. A Lisbon mail has arrived by the Marlborough—sailed 30th May ; Buenos Ayres mail brought by the Pigeons— sailed 14th March, which is not of a later date than pre viously received ; a Leeward Island mail by the Sheldrake —sailed from St. Thomas's on the Bth of May. We have also late dates from Rio Janeiro of the 7th April. The Exchange was 23i. Consols opened this morning at the same price they left off on Saturday, 92a for the Account, with little business doing as yet. The Foreign Market is also inactive. Posted at the North and South American Coffee-house. PORTSMOUTH, JUNE 13.—His Majesty's ship Forte ar rived this day from South America—sailed from Valpa raiso on the 9th March ; from Rio Janeiro on the 25th April ; having on board one million and a half of dollars on Merchants' Account. LIVERPOOL, JUNE 12.—The import of Cotton this week is 20,409 bags ; and the sales are 12,656 bags, at very steady prices, except for Sea Islands, which, at pub lic sale, went off at a decline of id. per lb. In Sugar there has been a good demand for B. P. Sugar this week, 1,020 hhds. having been disposod of at, in some instances, rather lower rates. In Coffee, the sales are 210 casks, and 60 bags. CITY, HALF-PAST ONE. Owing to the stormy weather which prevailed yester day, the French mail still remains due, which deprives us receiving intelligence of the expedition to Algiers, the fate of which is anxiously sought for. Consols have continued the whole of the morning at 921 for the Ac count, with no business of consequence. The turn in his Majesty's health gives the greatest pleasure. This is settling-day in Shares. We have a file of Sydney Papers to the 21st Feb. They contain a long ordinance of the Governor respecting the press, which decides, among other regulations, that every person, bona fide a proprietor of a Paper, shall be liable to all the penalties, &c. COURT INTRLLIGENCR. Yesterday the the following Bulletin was issued : " Windsor Castle, June 13, 1830. " The limo has been less incommoded than usual in his respire. don, and his bIaiCIITY has passed a good night. (Signed) " HENRY HALFORD, " MATTHEW JOHN TIERNEY." Since Thursday morning his Majesty has experienced less difficulty in his respiration ; in other respects also the state of the King has improved ; the swelling of the legs, in particular, has subsided. The disorder under which his Majesty is labouring is not dropsy, and the assertions that he has been tapped are untrue. The physicians have received an almost innumerable number of com munications on his Majesty's complaint (doubtless sent with the best intention), all of them, however, are useless, the parties mistaking the disorder with which the King is afflicted, and also being in igno rance of his Majesty's constitution. The Duke of Wellington had an audience of his Majesty on Saturday. The Dukes of Clarence and Cumberland visited his Ma jesty on Saturday, and remained a considerable time. Mr. Brodie did not come to the Castle on Friday night, being the first time he has missed since lie has been called in. Sir Matthew Tierney left the Castle about ten o'clock on Saturday morning. Sir Matthew has not I left the Castle before for a week. Mr. Brodie and Sir Matthew both returned to the Castle about nine o'clock on Saturday evening. Mr. Brodie left the Castle for London yesterday morning, and was expected back in the evening. The bulletins were shown at St. James's on Saturday by Lord Clinton (Lord in Waiting), and Sir William Houston (Groom in Waiting); and yesterday by Earl Warwick (Lord in Waiting), and Sir William Houston. WINDSOR, 5 o'Cloeck Sunday Evening. After the Dukes of Clarence, Cumberland, and Wellington had an interview of his Majesty yesterday, the Dukes of Clarence and Wellington had a private interview of full half an hour. Last night Sir Matthew Tierney returned to the Castle, accompanied by Mr. Brodie. Mr. Brodie left again at half-put eight this morn. ing. This morning his Majesty conversed with his physicians without any apparent difficulty, and up to this hour continues de. cidedly better, and enters into conversation occasionally with those distinguished persons who are in immediate attendance. No arrivals whatever this day. THE KING'S FIE4LTH. From the Wiradmor Expreu. Since our last, his Majesty's sufferings have been so intense u to induce the fear that the Royal patient could not possibly sur vive many hours. Under this impression the Princess Augusta and the Duchess of Gloucester had a farewell interview with the King en Monday. It will be seen, however, from the contents of this day's Bulletin, that the apprehensions of immediate dis solution are again happily removed. 1113 Majesty has now made three or four vigorous rallies, but in spite of this fact it must not be disguised, that debility continues to increase, while the disease appears to be taking a firmer hold. The termination of this truly melancholy state of things may now, therefore, be considered, we fear, as reduced to a mere question of time. Every thing that medical science can do has been done towards mitigating his Majesty's suffer ingt, and although he now experiences less pain and less uneasiness, the greatest apprehensions are felt of his surviving another attack. The accounts in circulation respecting his Majesty's appetite are as unfounded as they a..• preposterous ; in the state of debility in which the Royal Patient continues, it is natural to suppose that the appe. tite must gradually decline, which we have every reason to believe it does. His Majesty is not by any means confined to the bed, but usually occupies his chair during the greater part of the day. Me dicincs are still discontinued, with the exception of opiates, which are administered pretty frequently, together with aperients.—The Dukes of Clarence, Cumberland, and Wellington, have had long interviews of his Majesty to-day. The Bishop of Chichester con. duties at the Castle. THE MARQUIS OF HERTFORD'S GRAND ENTER- TAINMENT. The above nobleman gave one of the most magnificent entertain. ments of the present season on Friday last, at his elegant villa, and delightful demesne, in the Regent's-park. These were upwards of 600 of the principal nobility, including the Duke of Wellington, the Foreign Ambassadors, &c. present on the occasion. The splendid apartments were thrown open for the reception of the visitors at an early hour. At eleven o'clock the com pany were ushered Into the Grand Saloon, which was appro. priated to the ball. Weippert's full band was stationed in this apartment, and shortly afterwards dancing commenced. At two o'clock supper ws• announced, and the company retired to a Sumptuous banquet, consisting of the greatest luxuries of the sea son. After the repast dancing was resumed, and the " Mazurka" was danced with great effect. The company did not separate until late in the morning. The surrounding grounds and shrubbery were illuminated with a profusion of variegated lamps, presenting' a most fairy-like scene. The company, we need sorely add, com. bined all the rank and fashion of the country. His Royal Highness Prince Frederick of Prussia came to town on Friday night from the races. All the Foreign Ambassadors and Ministers have been to pay their re spects to his Royal Highness, at the residence of the Duke and Duchess of Cumberland, in the King's Pa lace, St. James's. The Duke of Wellington and the Earl of Aberdeen visited his Royal Highness yesterday. The Prince attended Divine Service yesterday morning at Westminster Abbey, and afterwards paid visits to all the different branches of the King's family in town. His Royal Highness left town fur Bushy, to dine with the Duke and Duchess of Clarence, together with the Duke and Duchess of Cumberland. On Saturday night the Prince honoured the Italian Opera House with his presence. The Princess Augusta attended Divine Service yester day morning at the Chapel Royal, St. James's. Divine Service was performed yesterday morning be fore the Duchess of Kent, the Princess Victoria, and their Royal Highnesses' household, in the private Chapel at the King's Palace at Kensington, by the Chaplain to the Royal Duchess. Summonses were issued yesterday morning from the Foreign O ffi ce for a Cabi ne t Council. At half-past three o'clock yesterday afternoon, the Ministers assembled at the Foreign Office. There were present—the Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Wellington, Earls Bathurst, Roselyn, and Aberdeen, Viscount Mel ville, Lord Ellenborough, Sir Robert Peel, Sir George Murray, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Mr. Herries. The Attorney and Solicitor-Generals were in attendance at the Foreign Office about an hour while the Council was sitting. The Council sat in delibe ration about two hours and a half. Sir Robert Peel had an interview with the Duke of Wellington, at Apeley House, on Saturday afternoon, after the return of his Grace from having an interview with the King at Windsor. Despatches were received yesterday, at the Colonial from the Governors of the Leeward Islands. An Admiralty Messenger arrived in town yesterday, with despatches from the Commander of our Naval Force in the Mediterranean, for the Lords of the Admiralty.-- The Messenger brought also despatches for the Colonial Offices, from the Hon. G. Ponsonby, the Lieutenant- Governor of Malta. PROVINCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

ROCHDALE, JUNE 11.--A considerable portico of the woollen-weavers have this week returned to their work on the terms they demanded from their employers, viz. the list prices of 1824. Mout 300 of the small manu facturers have agreed to the above terms ; nail it is con fidently stated that their example has been followed by four of the more considerable manufatturers, viz. Rawl sons and Saltntarsh, of Halifax ; J. Schofield, of Ma n . row ; G. Ashworth, J. Ashworth, and J. Shone, of 113 eh. dale. In conseqm.tnce of this arrangement, about 2,000 or 2,500 hands have resumed their employment. The remainder, amounting to nearly 45,000, are still out of work, and appear determined, by every peaceable means, to maintain their strike. A number of master-weavers, or owners of loom-shops, sonic of them extensive ones, were this day summoned before the Magistrates, and all of them, with the exception of four, agreed to tieish the work they had in hand within stipulated periods they, however, seemed to promise very reluctantly, and were severally dismissed. There are at present two thousand six hundred and ninety miserable paupers in the Mendicity Institution of Dublin, and the entire funds for the maintenance of this multitude of human beings amount to two shillings and three pence !! ! The Committee will endeavour to main tain them fur another week ; but if, at the termination of that period, adequate funds are not forthcoming, this im mense horde of starving wretches shall be let loose upon the public ! —ls this a time for the infliction of new bur dens upon Ireland ?—Morniny Register.

The food on Friday likewise did much mischief in several parts of Derbyshire. The river Wye was higher than has been known for some time past, and completely covered all the low ground on its banks, destroying the crops of grass and corn which grew there. In Warwickshire, Shropshire, and Worcestershire, also, the inundations have been very extensive, and very injurious in their consequences.—Manchester Guardean.
