We are happy to be able to anticipate a speedy `,lsten , Ation of oar SOVEREIGN'S health. Yesterday his uny was so well as to be able to hold a conver sation with the Earl of CHEIMIBBIELD. There was a meeting of the Cabinet Ministers last sight, at which, itis said, a motion for the adjourn- , ment of both Houses for another fortnight was de. to upon, and which is expected to be made this evening. The following are the Bulletins of last night and of this morning : " WINDSOR CASTLE, NOVEMBER 14., P.M. His MAJESTY is still better to-day, and appears to be in a progressive state of improvement.

This afternoon both Houses 'of . Parliament met agreeably to the last adjournment. At five o'clock the Lord Chancellor, in a short speech, stated to the House of Lords the report of the Phiiicians in atten. dance on his Majesty, which was highly flattering, as the Physician who attendallhis Majesty, on a for mer occasion ) began to see Abe " SAM E FAVOURABLB SYMPTOMS Opt THE PIUSSENT.", His Lordship conclud. ea by moving an Adjournment for a Fortnight. This motion was seconded by the Earl 'ofivforata ; and we left Lord GRENVILLZ speaking at half-past Eve : his Lordship appeared to concur in themotion, but stated his opinion, that it ought to iiive been for a shorter time. All the Royal Dukes were present. There was an untfsual delay yesterday in spewing the Bulletins at St.James's. The Nobility and Gentry, trho were anxious to be informed• of the state of his MA.nsn's health, began to assemble in the little pre tence-chamber about two o'clock, but it was almost three before the substance of the Bulletins was com municated. In the interval the crowd had se increased that *the little presence-chamber, the room in which the Yeottien of the . Guards are stationed, and the lead of the grand staircase, were completely filled. When the room in whi c h t h e B u ll et i ns are s h ewn pis opened, the to rrent rus h e d f orwar d, a l most w i t h asmuch violence as we have ever seen it at the pit of the theatres or on any occasion ex c iti ng ex t raor di nar y tiridtity. Many persons of the first distinction, ladies sr well as gentlemen, were caught in this stream, and swept along with those of less exalted rank.

It is impossible to con ceive the 4elight of. the Russians on seeing his Ma. ,testy depart from Riga for England, as it was known that a party of gens.d'armes were pursuing him from Prussia. His Majesty quitted Riga under a salute of 21 guns: we are likewise credibly informed, that the Pinsperor of RUSSIA .sent his Majesty an affectionate farewell letter, with a present of 7000 ducats, which Grsravt's declined accepting. The Empress of R us *A and the Ex-queen of SWEDEN are sisters.

" This Riming his Majesty GosTAvus, King of Swetten, landed on the Beach from theTa RTARUS sloop of war, Captain MAINWARING, which fired a Royal salute. His Majesty was received by the populace With repeated cheers, which appeared to make a strong impression, as tears of gratitude were observed to steal down his face. On his Majesty's landing, he itepi)ed into Lord GARDNER'S carriage, which was in wiuting, and the populace took the horses out and drew hint from the Beach to the Angel in the Market. klace.

The letter continues, Lord WELLINGTON has shewn himself lately one of the greatest Captains of the age. He .is universally admired by all denominations of English, Portuguese,' and Spaniards. He is certainly the best General our country has produced since the days of MARLBOROUGH. But we have found out that MASSENA is not se des perately in want of provisiont as we are led to expect. We have many sick, but the French many more, as their deserters, who come in to the amount of nearly 100 per day, uniformly tell us." COVENT GARDEN.—This Theatre, which had been closed in consequence of the decease of the Princess AMELIA, was last night re.opened. The entertain ments of the evening were, the Comedy of Th e Wh ee l of Fortune, in whi c h Mr. KEMILE'S unrivalled excel fence, as Penruddeci, excited the warmest applause ; and the revived historic Pantomime Drama of La Pe revue, which has been produced in a style of elegance I deserving the utmost commendation. The house was uncommonly thin at the rising of the curtain. “ Gon save the King" was loudly called for, and on the call being complied with by the musicians, the audience rose, as usu;l, and took off their hats. Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when theunder.mentionedCaptains were sworn into the command of their respective ships, viz. Captain E. BA LSTON, Princess Amelia; Captain I. Pawnee eitASl, Hope; Captain B.RICIARIISON, Taunton Castle; Ma. dras and China. Capt. G. &meson, Union,Eombay and Bengal.

At Wiebeach, on Saturday, the tide rose to an un. ...usual height ; the water flowed with such rapidity, that several craft loaded with g rain , broke from their moorings and were sunk ; the banks in several places were overflowed, and the hutch near the town inuti, dated.. .The sloop Fortunate!, of Hull, Cherry mas. ter, bound from London to Wells, drove into Wisbech, with the loss of anchors and cabels, and with great difficulty the crew saved their lives. Several vessels went on 'shore upon the Marshes- bet+ol4, Wisbech and the Washway. , A very serious accident happened to one of the. Exeter and Plymouth cnadies,. ciii"llinday morning, at Alphington Bridge, near that chi!. The rain hay -jig fallen much, the water descended in torrents from the highlands of Devon, and made a breach over the bridge. Several coaches, however, ventured over, among which was the mail-coach, but the Clarence coach, with a number of passengers, was carried away by the violence of the stream. The Inside passengers were saved, after being eight hours in the water. M. Weakley, master of the Prince George inn, Plymouth Dock,- was washed away; but the coachman reports, that he reached the top of a barn, on which he sup ported himself nine hours, when he was taken off, and carried in a coach to Exeter. Excreft, Nov. 11.—The confusion that is here from the waters is alarming ; several houses in the neigh bourhood are carried away. Now, five o'clock A. M. and no Plymouth nor Falmouth mails arrived. The London and Shaftsbury were brought in by the guards in a chaise and four, after crossing the water in a boat ; and the mail, fir Plymouth forwarded by six horses; how far it can proceed is uncertain, as the facet of the level lands are deluged, and the City of E xe t completely inundated. Fifteen houses were destroy e4 between Exeter and Salisbury, by the high wind ; an the town of Chard has suffered severely. At Taunton, there had been a continual rain for 24 hours, and the waters had risen to such a height, that all conveyances were 'stopt for four hours ; and Saturday, being mar-, ket-day, the whole town was in confusion. BOSTON, Nov. 11.—The last night's high tide has done so much damage to the different sea-banks, as to render it impossible for me to leave the place.— Freiston Bank is totally gone, and hardly any trace left. The Old Sea Bank also is gone in many places by' the lathing, and all along the shore. The princi pal inn is much damaged, as the tide passed through the house, and took away a large bow-window. The banks, all the way up the Witham, on both sides, are 1 broken in many places, and the country under water, 1 our drains take it off on one side, but the Wiberton side to the'ress dike is many feet under water. The bank broke by the Grandshite and filled Tannard's Pasture by his house many feet in water • in short, the country is one scene of distress. Numbers of lives are lost both by land and sea, and the quantity of stock is wonderfully great. Mr. Rodgers, the attorney, has just been in, and says the report is upwards of half a million of money lost in stock., The-tide was six inches higher here than the new year's gale indeed, the highest that ever was known. A vessel is carried on to the turnpike between the Black Sluice and the town, with other two stuck fast in the breach behind her. Mr. Sheath's banks ? at Tiverton, are broken, Wrangle Bank, and, last of all, the Friskney New Sank ; but from the latter I have understood hulk damage is done, and the farmers are rejoicing that It ))as salted all their stock; as die Old Bank would not, ave been high . enough. i l. ..
