" WINDSOR-CASTLE, DECEMBER 17 . 1 His MAnrsry has passed a quiet night, though without much sleep, an/ has appeared rather better through the last tweutpfour hours." (Signed) ge IT. R. REYNOLDS. " HENRY HALFORD. 414 W. HEBERDEN. 44 M. BAILLIE". " wiNnsor. CASTLE. DEC. 18. u His MAJESTY has passed a good night, and is much in the same state to-day, as lie was yesterday." (Signed as usual.) Yesterday, agreeably to a former adjournment, the Peers and Commons met in their respective Cham bers, and proceeded to the preliminary steps for sup plying the absence of the Royal Authority. It will be seen in the proceedings, that the Report of the Select Committee, appointed to examine the Physi cians in attendance upon his MAJESTY, was presented, and ordered to be printed. It was not read, but we understand that it states as their opinion, that his MAJESTY will recover, though they cannot speak with certainty as to the probable duration of the malady. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER intimated his intention to propose three resolutions similar to those suggested by Mr. Parr in 1788. He only stated the substance of his intended resolutions ; btit it is under stood that they will be nearly verbatim with those passed in Loth Houses on that occasion, viz. 1. " That it is the opinion of this Committee, that his MAJESTY is prevented, by his present indisposition, from coming to his Parliament, and from attending to the public business; and that the personal exercise of the Royal Authority is thereby for the present in terrupted. 11. u. That it is the opinion of this Committee, that it it the right and duty of the Lords, Spiritual and Temporal, and Commotts of Great Britain, now assembled, and lawfully, fully, and freely, re. presenting all the estates of the people of this realm, to provide the means of supplying the defects of the personal exercise of the Royal Autht rity, arising from his MAJESTY% said indisposition, in such manner as the "tkigeni,y of the case may apppear to requi• P. 111. " That for this purpose, and for maintaining entire the Constitutional Authority of the KING, it is necessary that the said Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons of Great Britain, should determine on the means whereby the Royal Assent may be given in Parliament to such Bills as may be passed by the two Houses of Parliament, respecting the exercise of the powers and autOrifies of the Crown, in the name and on beha!f Orthigting, durinithe continuance of his MAJESTY'S 'Presirit4idi coos; tion ." From what felPfriiiin Messrs. PONSONBT, SHERMAN, and An:tar, it is probable, that, as in 1788, an amend. meek will be moved on this Reiolution. The amend ment then prOposed was, to leave out all the words in the original Resolution after the word &ermine, and to insert the followieg ‘ 4 To . address his Royal Highness the Prince of WALES to take upon him thiadministration of affairs, civil and military, in his MAJESTY'S name, and during his MAJESTY'S illness, and no longer." Or perhaps they may take as their_ precedent the proceedings of the Irish Parliatnent on the occasion alluded to, who resolved after one day's dlicussion, to present an Address to the Paws of WALES, which, after expressing the deepest and most grateful sense of the numerous blessings enjoyed under the illustrious Haw of Brunswick—ind at the same time condoling with his Royal Highness upon the grievous malady with which it had pleased HEAVEN to afflict the hest of Sovereigns, they proceeded thus .••• " We have, however, the consolation of reflecting that. this severe calamity bath not been visited upon us, until the virtues of your Royal Highness have been tri matured as to enable your Royil Highness to discharge the duties of an important.trust, for the performance whereof the eyes 4111 his MA.m.rs's subjects of both'kinigclonis are directed to your Royal • 4 • Highness. ' u We, therefore, beg leave humbly to.request that your Royal Highness will be pleased to take upon you the Government of this realm during the conti nuance of his MAJESTY'S present indisposition, and no longer ; and under the style and title of PRINCE Rs- GENT of Ireland, in the name and on the behalf of his MAJESTY, to exercise and administer according to the Laws and Constitution of this kingdom, all regal powers, jurisdictions, and prerogatives to the : Crown and Government thereof belonging." Report adds, that whatever restrictions may be proposed by Ministers on the Powers of the Regent, will be accompanied with a declaration that they are intended to cease at a certain time, of gie kistel powers is to be rested limituNrss, subject always to ios MAJESTY, if it bbail plane I-124 his Pepplet Gentian Papers to the VAth 'To Yiilicll W 9 114 Ye givea a Air AMERICAN PAPERS,. We this morning received Nevi York and other Amirican Papers to the 29d ult.

It it said that by the instructions given to the Captain of the Essex, he is to carry Mr. Pincniist from England to America. An earthquake had taken place at St. lago de la Cuba, and nearly destroyed the whole town. Our limits will not permit us to give more details than the above from the American Papers ; indeed their contents have been anticipated by formerarrivals. General ARMSTRONG (late Ambassador at Paris), and family, arrived at Boston on the 13th ult. in 32 clays from Bourdeaur. TUE ARMY. • Three hundred and fifty prisoners landed on Sun day at Porchester Castle: they were left by MASSINA upon his late retreat, and were in a most wretched situation. Several French prisoners made their escape from Mill prison on Friday night, by bedaubing themselves with mortar, and passing for masons,-by which mcitns they deceived the guards. It is said that six or seven escaped, but five wore retaken. Lieutenant-Colonel BATHURST has returned from the army in Portugal, on account of ill health. Colonel LANDMAN is now at Plymouth. tie goes out with the first packet for Lisboa, and is the bearer of dispatches to Lord Wu/Jam:mow. ~ Major-General Sir MONTAGUI BURGOYNX is arrived at Portsmouth, to take his passage in the Weymouth store-ship, for Gibraltar. Eighty-three officers are waiting at the Depbt, inthe Isle of Wight, to embark for the `West ladies, as soon as ships are ready to receive them. Major General HousrouN, who has been so long stationed in Brighton, 1145 been appointed to the Staff in Portugal, and is immediately to embark to join the army in that cotmtry.

The Committee of Merchants trading to America, have solicited an interview with the Marquis WEL- Lveitr.mr, on the subject of the Berlin and Milan De crees. His Lordship has promised to select an early day to hear them, and to let them know by letter what time he will be able to appoint. Mr. HUGHES, Purser of the COURAGEUX, is ap pointed to the SOAREOROUGII ; Mr. MACIPAVIL INF, to the COURAGEVI; Mr. MACEY, Purser of the VIGILANT, to the STATELY; Mr• GILBERT, to the VIGILANT. Captain C. WATSON, of the Dotentv, is promoted to the rank of a Post Captain ; Lieutenant R. W. SimmoNns to the MANLY gun-brig. The letters by the Lisbon mail, which we have seen, are as barren as the gazettes. This may be ascribed to the total cessation of any important movements on eisher side. No skirmish even 9f any consequence appears to have taken place since MAssrNA transferred .his head-quarters to Santarem. The priwate comma. itications are at variance with respect to the extent of the reinforcements received by the French. The pesbability of Lord WELLINGTON'S returning to his former position is suggested in twiny of these letters, sad is strengthened in a great degree by orders issued Inr the Regency, for the removal of all articles of forage within the lines of TorresVedras. The mail 'has brought letters from Oporto to the end of last month. They enable us to Ascertain the force with which Lotson occupied Tlwmar. It con sisted of seven regiments of infantry, and two of ca valry. About the middle of November, a dreadful flood prevailed in the Douro, the force of whish was so great as to sweep away the bridge of Oporto from its moorings, and carry several lighters ortT•the bar. Fortunately, there was very little shipping the river at the time, or the damage would have been very considerable. Upwards of twenty mills were carried away at Valanga, together with a large quan tity of wheat, Indian corn, rye, and flour..
