In the House of Lords, this day, Prs. Rzyxocus and BAILLIE were examined by the Committee ap pointed to report on the state of his MAJESTY'S health. In the Committee of the House of Commons, Dr. HEEERDEN was examined. Dr. H. HALFORD and Dr. WILLts remain in attendance upon' his MAJESTY at Windsor ; but they are expected in Town this afternoon, on the return of the other Physicians from the ComMittee of both Houses of Parliament. The day originally fixed upon for the Kinn and ROYAL FAMILY to come to London, was New Year's Day, but as the limo's apartments in the QUEEN'S Palace cannot be got ready by that time, the day has been altered to the 6th of January. We are very sorry to learn tint the Princess MARY has been so much indisposed, that she was confined to her bed and room from Sunday to Thursday morning, at which time, we are extremely happy to state she was well enough to accompany the QUEEN and Prin cess ELIZABETH to Frogmore in a coach. Her Royal Highness is attended by Sir HENRY HALFORD, Drs. REYNOLDS, HaEILDEN, and BAILLIE. The Hon. ROBERT SPENCER, son of Earl SPENCER, hiving served his time as Midshipman in the TIGRE, is now made Lieutenant.

Colonel and Mrs. Buckeridge, Colonel and Mrs. Butler, Miss Butlers, &c. All the letters which we have lately seen from the • Army in Portugal mention the Inquiry which is going ..on at. - Llsbott by a Board of Officers, by order of. . Lord WELLINGTON, on the Medical Department of, leis Army. Nothing can. more endear a leader to his ; prmy, than the tender solicitude which he shews far the soldier when wounded in the service of his coun t try, and laid on the bed of sickness by the casualties of the service. The Army is entitled to the best medical and surgical assistance which the Kingdom ' can afford ; and it is the duty of our Generals to see that the sick or wounded soldier is not neglected in ,his distress, and that the assistance which the country gives at an enormous expence is properly given. We rejoice to hear that the Commissariat Depart ment has emerged from the obloquy into which they formerly had fallen. There is now no department in the Army better organized, more efficient, or more popillar with the Army. Thanks to Lord WELLING- Totes remarks on this department at General WHITE• LOCK LI'S trial, and the subsequent regeneraticn of the whole department by Colonel Goanox, when he be tame Commissary-in -chief. Under Colonel GORDON, the Commissariat is most ably conducted, and most. beneficially to the country. In Portugal, Lord WEL LINGTON keeps the Commissaries, as well as those of any other department, to duty. On a subject of long courtship, a gentleman observed lately,.that the lady was right in delaying the nuptial tye, until her swain made his suit with due energy, " True," replied his friend, (who was a politician) ” but whenever the energies or mind are brought into action for the public benefit, they deserve support, as in the present State Lottery, where all the advanta ges of past years are brought into a focus, and now presented by a new plan of Drawing Two Hundred Thousand Pounds All in Ope Day, on OA 15th of February nat." LOSS OF SEVERAL FINE FRIGATES. As every person feels a deep interest in the 1111- pleasant intelligence received yesterday from the Mauritius, we give the following accounts containing a more particular detail of some of the circumstances than the accounts laid before our readers yesterday. " ADMIRALTY OFFICE, DEC. 14. " Intel Ernie has been received, that on the 2.'fd of August, bis Majesty's ships Ntazint, Stems, Monteleone, and fret acme, stood into the harbour of Sud-Est, in the Isle of France, with a view to attack an enemy's squadron of two frigates, a corvette, and an armed Indiaman, lying at anchor there. In pushing for their stations alongside the enemy, the Status, Mo. clot NN r, and.Ntaetoa unhappily grounded, and it was found impossible to get them off, though the utmost skill and gallantry 4n endeavouring to save the skip•, under circumstances of peculiar disadvantage, was displayed. " After two days unremitting hut unavailing exertion, under tie fire of the heavy batteries, Captain PY m abandoned all hope of being able to get off the Summand MsencilstNx, and they were in consequence burnt by their own crews. " The situation in which the Nevin I grounded enabled the enemy to turn the whole fire of their ships on her; but, even in this unequal contest, Captain Wittouousr conthnied to fight her to the hst extremity, till every officer and man on board Were either killed or wounded. " All the enemy's ships were driven on shore, but one of the frigates was afterwards got off, and being joined by three others from Port Louis, they blockaded theOPSIOUNIA it her anchor age under the Isle of Ras, on which Island (it having been pr e 's+. misty garrisoned by us) the crews ache Status and MAcsictILNNI were landed." EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM TIIE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE, 'ATM SP.PTEMBER 2G. " We had taken the Isle de Ras, at the entrance of Port South-East, and the Nereide was anchored off it, when a French squadron, consisting of the Mi nerve, Bellone, Victor, and the Windham and Ceylon captured Indiamen, made their appearance in the offing. French colours were hoisted on the frigate and batteries, but as soon as the French came close they were changed, and a fire opened upon them, which they pushed through, and anchored in Port South-East, except the Windham, which put about and stood for Riviere Noire, but was.retaken by the Sirius. Captain Pym, on receiving this intelligence, immediately worked up to Port South-East, and was joined by the Mai:*c'enne and Iphigenia. 46 An attack on the enemy's ships was determined on, and an easy victory anticipated. Fate, however, had destined otherwise. The Sirius and Magicienne grounded on some unknown small shoals, and all en deavours to get them off provedfruitless. The Iphi genia got to leeward of a shoal, which lay between her and the enemy, .so that Captain Willoughby, in the Nereide, alone gained his allotted station, and engaged singly the whole of this force, together with about GO pieces of cannon mounted on the batteries, in a manner that perhaps history (atinot equal. The action lasted many hours, until ten at night, when she was taken possessionof by a boat fr:rn the enemy, after having lost 260 men, out of killed and wounded, and driven the whole of t.Le enemy's squa dron on sivere as well as herself. 44 Captain WlLLouotin lost an eye, at;tras b dly hurt about the head, but reselved that the English' flag should never be struck while he had a rien able to fire a gun; he would not leave her when a boat froth the Sirius was sent for the purpose, but declared he would not abandon his wounded unfortunate ship mates. The Sirius and Magicienne being irrecover able, and within long shot of the enemy, were set fire to and burnt. The crews were landed on the Isle de Ras, and the Iphigenia warped up to that anchorage. In the' mean time the Active, Venus, and la Manche, with a corvette, came up and block aded the entrance, whilst la Bellone was get off, and warped up. 44 In this situation were things on the 31st of Au- 1 gust ; but I am Sorry to say, that no probability exists 9f their safety. They had only provisions and water to hold out a week at farthest. They had been sum moned by the French to surrender at discretion.— Captain Lambert refused this, but offered to capitu late on terms, being allowed to carry away the whole of the people on shore, and the Iphigenia to a British parts The answer of the enemy had not been received, but it is very easy to foresee that this proposal will nut be accepted." EXTRACT OF ANOTHER LETTER PROM THil CAPE OF GOOD HOPE, DATED FEPT. 26. " Annexed is a piece of most unfortunate intelli gence, just received from the Isle of France, and which having been reported to me by the officer who brought the dispatches, may consequently be depend ed upon as perfectly authentic. "The Ceylon and Windham East India ships, which sailed hence early in June last, having on board the 24th regiment for Madras, together with Major- General Wetherall and family, were captured after a severe and gallant action by the Bellone and Minerve French frigates, and Victor sloop of war, and by them carried into Port South-East, in the Isle of France. The Windham has since been retaken in entering Port Sz. Louis. On the other ships an attack was attempt. ed by his Majesty's ships Sirius, Magicienne, 'and Nereide. The latter anchored alongside the Bellone, 'and brought her to close action ; but the cable of the Nereide being cut by a shot, she drifted on shore and was captured, after having 260 men killed or wound ed ; among the latter, her gallant Capt. Willoughby, severely. The enemy contlnued firing upon her, and killed and wounded great numbers, after she had surrendered. The Sirius and Magicienne grounded at the entrance, and were deserted and burned by their crews, who landed on the Isle. de Ras, near the Isle of France, where there is every probability they will be obliged, or rather have been obliged, to surrender, together with the Iphigenia frigate, to the enemy's squadron ; as, when the messenger came away, they had only 8 days provisions, and no chance of relief. We have now only two frigates and a sloop on the station, while the hostile force collectively amounts to five large frigates, a sloop and a brig of war. They have also captured the Ranger transport, laden with pro visions for our squadron's' ANOTiILa LI IE DATE. 44 In my last you were made acquainted with the arrival of the Bombay Anna, Captain Smith, in Si mon Bay.
