It will be equally difficult for me to express my gratitude and astonishment at the wonderful magnanimity with which your Majesty presented, as your successor, a pe_ram bound to you by no ties. The more your Majesty has endeavoured to accomplish this object for the Swedish people, the mere infinite is my gratitude. I do not conceal from myself the extent nor diffi culty of my duties, but if I can trust my own heart, I shall fulfil them. There never existed in the soul 6f a man a more _powerful spring of action, and never was there a happier opportunity presented for him to dedicate his existence to the welfare of a nation. As soon as your Majesty's letter was delivered to me by the Count Morner, I hastened to forward it to his Majesty die Emperor and King. He was pleased completely to crown his goodness towards me, by au thorising" me to become the adopted son of your Ma jesty. According to what you have been pleased to address to nse, I shall hasten my departure, to lay at your Majesty's feet my grateful homage, and to make yonr Majesty the depository of my oath. To this day I have placed my whole fame and character on serving my country, but France will, I venture to flatter myself, assist me in my exertions for the bene fit of Sweden. She cannot without emotion see one of her children destined by the voice of a magnani mous people to govern a kingdom which has been long numbered among her allies.

" Head•r t uarters at Valladolid, Oct. 12, Isla. U Monseigneur—l communicated to you the day before yesterday tlie favOurable news which I had re ceived from she army of Portegal. I hasten this day to transmit - to yoUr Higliness'a letter `which I have . just received from M. the Intendant General Lambert, softh rein. fined at the depot of the army at \risen.— This letter was brought Me by a Portuguese agent. who is in our service, and who has'already given nu - merous proofs of zeal. It would appear that ,the affairs of the nifty of Portugal are going on well. I am on march to brush away the militia who infest the rear of the army, and that the Prince of'Essling may not be obliged to make a detachment, and may pur sue, with all his force, the English,, at the point. of the bayonet. " As soon as I shall have arrived at Almeida, if the officer carrying the dispatches of the Prince of Essling is not yet arrived there, I will collect all the intelligence, and transmit it to your Highness. " I shall be at Almeida on the 15th. Assure his Majesty the Emperor, that the 9th corps aspires to the glory of not being reduced to fight only against militia and brigands; I solicit for it, if there is yet time, the honciur of marching to the advanced posts. My four regiments of chasseurs and hussars, by their brilliant uniform and their fine appearance, are admiration of the Spaniards. They say, that except the Imperial Guards, they have never seen such fine troop." • Lambert, Intendant General of the Army of Portugal, to his Serene Highness Major-General the Prince of Ncutetatel. • " Viseu, October 5,1810. 66 Monseigneur—Conceivin the solicitude of his Majesty the Emperor for his army of Portugal, and foreseeing that his Majesty can have no news of it for some days, because the officer who is the bearer of • the Prince of Essl:ng's dispatches, containing an ac- Count of the. success obtained by the army since its entrance into Portugal, is obliged to proceed with the prisoners, avid by stated marches ; I sent to General Drouet ont'of my Portuguese emissaries, an intelli gent and ttirst-worthy man, to inform your Highness of what has.oassed, and to implore him to h;.sten his march, and to come and clear the country in our rear (balayer no derrieres). It would not be convenient that the Prince of Essling should be under the sneers , sity of weakening his forces, and detaching a part of it ler that purpose. , 4 We have had no affair of great importance since we entered Portugal. On the '26th of September, the Prince encountered the English army, occupying the _, mountains and defiles of the Mondego, within eight leagues of Coimbra. The enemy's lighs troops, driven back - on the 26th, 27th and 28th, abandoned all their ~positions, which were as strong as any in the world. The Prince, in consequence, did not attack them in front ; he was satisfied with holding in check by his light,infantry the English army, and he marched with the Duke of Abrantei, the cavalry and three-fourths DI the army, by the route from Coimbra to Oporto. But the .English General was already in retreat, had repassed the Mondego, and abandoned to us all his file positions, and the resources which the town of • oimbra affords. 66 The army is in excellent health ; it is abundantly supplied with provisions. We found sorre resources • at hospital is plentifully supplied ; there arc oily 500 wounded and 250 sick. No General or Colonel was wounded in the battle of Coimbra. I am • inftAmed, but the information is not to be relied on, that the Genital of Brigade Simon, having attempted with three hattaiions of - Vsltigeurs, to tarry the Con vent of Buzaco, was made prisoner, with some men. Several of the wounded who were engaged in this rash enterprize (echaufinvie), assure me, that the ene my have taken but few prisoners ; for having received Tope-Red orders neither to attack the Convent, nor to advance, our n.oops had full time to fall back: • " 'We have a free communication with Coimbra. am informed that our cavalry is already arrived at mi.,..runibal.

The continued indisposition of our Moved SO.- VEREIGN has excited no inconsiderable sensation in the political world, and that our Readers may be in pos session of all the circumstances comsected with his MAJESTY'S present situation, we shall proceed to state what has transpired on the subject since our publica tion of yesterday.—ln the afternoon the following Bulletin was received at the Queen's House : " Windsor Castle, October 31, nine o'clock A. M. "The Kist: has passed a restless night, but his MAJESTY'S fever is not increased. (Signed) " lIENRY lIALTORD, • " N. HEZIRDEN, " M. BAILLIE." Previous to the arrival of the above, however, the LORD CHANCELLOR and the CHANCELLOR of the Ex- CHEQUER had gone to Windsor to ascertain if his MAJESTY was well enough to be seen upon business. They returned to town about four o'clock in the after noon of yesterday, and it is with deep regret we add, that the report they brought of the state of his MA- I sEsTv, was even less favourable than that issued by the Physicians in the morning. A meeting of the Cabinet Council was accordingly summoneil for this day. The Marquis WELLESLEY, who was sent for express from Ramsgate, arrived in town last night. Mr. ARBUTHNOT . , the under Secretary of State, was also sent for express from the Marquis of ABER CORN'S seat, at Starimore, to make the necessary ar rangements. The above meeting of the Cabinet Council was ex pected to take place this morning at Windsor, but the result cannot be known in time to communicate it to our Readers in our publication of this day. In the mean time, amid all this bustle among Mi ' nisters, Parliament stands prorogued to this day, and we understand that the Commission for its further prorogation to the 29th instant, as announced in the Gazrtte of the 17th ultimo, has not yet received the [ Royal Signature. Should his MAJESTY, therefore, not be. sufficiently recovered to-day to be seen upon official business, Parliament must necessarily meet this afternoon. For this event, however, we have reason to believe that Ministers are fully prepared, expresses having been sent off to all their Parliamen tary friends, who reside within a moderate distance of the Metropolis, requesting their attendance in town. It is expected, therefore, that if forty Members are present in the House of Commons, there will be an adjournment for a few weeks. In the House of Lords the attendance is expected to be full. Earl CAMDEN and the Earl of CHATHAM, and all the Cabinet Mi., nisters belonging tothat House, being now in town. In cases of a prorogation, such as this day would have presented had not this extraordinary difficulty intervened, the whole attendance necessary in both Houses of Parliament, consists of the Lords Corn-, missioners in the House of Lords, generally compris. ing the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Archbishop of CAN• TERBUOY, the CHAIRMAN of Committees, and some other Ministerial Member, or Cabinet Counsellor ; and, in the House of Commons, the SPEAKER, and the Officers of the House, with the Usher of the Black I Rod, or his Deputy, from the House of Lords.— j ' 'This is sufficient attendance for the ceremony of a prorogation ; but for the transacting of business in the -House of Commons, forty Menthe's, including the Speaker, arc necessary to constituie a House. Since writing the above, the daily Messenger from . Windsor has arrived at St. Samis's ; and, we are happy to learn, that the KING ii considerably . better, than he was yesterday.
