Just as we were going to press we received t. 11 ,e following Bulletin from authority : WINDSOR CASTLE, April 28, 1824, 10 o'Clock, a. tn The KING has, foi same days past, been much in disposed with the prevailing epidemic cold. HIS MAJESTY is much better to day, and un- less, unhappily, his 'MAJESTY should suffer a zela Ple, there will be no further Bulletin. (Signed) HENRY HALFOP.D. MATTHEW JOHN TIERNEY. We yesterday had the satisfaction of stating, on the • authority of letters from Genog. and Leghorn, that our shipping is entirely unmolested by Algerine cruizers. This gratifying intelli gence is fully confirmed by the following official notification " Admiralty Office, ci7th 4pril, 1823. " By the last dispatch from the.Adcniral coin rnanding in chief in the Mediterranean, dated the Rd inst., it appears that the whole of the Algerine squadron are dismantled and blockaded ;n the harbour of Algiers." The Paris Papers of Sunday, which arrived liist night, are almost entirely filled with a re- Port of the debate in the Chamber of Deputies 0; ' S aturday, relative to the new financial scheme for the realization of the Vice per Cents., which was adjourned to Monday. These Papers con tain no other intelligence of the slightest im portance. • Advicps from Tampico, in Niexico, of the 28th of February, state that tranquillity was uninter ruptedly preserved in that quarter, but that the L'kecutive Government felt inconvenience from the want of money. ,• Letters from Constantinople, of the 27th of March, now assert that all differences between the Porte and - Russia have been adjusted, and that the Ottoman troops are actually retiring from Wallachia and Moldavia! On the other hand, letters received at Paris from Trieste state that it Fs ruiriOured there that the Holy Alliance have c ' ed ed one of the islands of the Archipelago to `he Knights of St. John of Jerusalem, and that as soon as the Order has established itself in its l ' H 'w Seat of government, it will enter into an °6e ni'ive and defensive alliance with Greece against the Turks ! It is asserted positively in Paris that both M. de VILLELE and M. DE Cii.t vE•AuB.EtIANn have unequivocally expressed them selves in favour of the restoration of the Knights, which latter statement we have strong reasons for believing to be well founded. As for the alleged Cession, however, of an island to the Order, by the Allied Sovereigns, it is probably only an exagge rted echo of the old statement respecting a ces sion having been actually made to it by the Greeks. The Allies have no right to cede a ter ritory which belongs either to regenerated Greec e or to the Porte ; and the rumour is therefore most probably without founda tion• it is possible enough that the Great Powers may feel disposed to acquiesce in the establishment of the Knights of St. John in the Mediterranean. We are quite certain that the French Government earnestly desires i t, and that it anticipates an increase of influence from the event. A file of Charleston Papers to the 30th March has been received this morning. [From the- Charkston Courier, of March 29.] • FROM HAVANNAII.—Our files of Hal/an:WI pa pers are to the 20th inst. inclusive, by the schooner Sally. A letter, received in this city, says that a new duty of 2 per cent. on provisions has just been imposed. Two British Officers arrived at Havanah on the 20th inst. in his Majesty's ship Kangaroo, with dispatches from Jamaica, the contents of which have not transpired. Faost PORT-AU-P,RlNCE.—(.Extract of a Let ter, dated the - 171 h of February.)—There is a ru mour here that the French Government is about to issue a Decree, by which the produce of this country will henceforth be considered foreign productions, and pay foreign dutios, even in French bottoms, ( From the Charleston Courier of the 25th of March.) We have now before us a file of Official Gazettes of the Department of the Isthmus of Panama, to the 18th January. We do not perceive any thing new in these papers. They state that the Go vernment of Colombia have,by a formal decree, granted to Rundell and Bridge, the famous Lou don jewellers, the monopoly of the pearl fishery, to be carried on with machines, on all the coast between Cape Corientes and the South Sea, on consideration that the Colombian Government shall receive one-fourth part of the produce of the fishery. Fttom MEXICO. - -A Letter from Jalapa, of Feb. 11; expresses an apprehension that an ar< rangament will be concluded with the British , Commissioner, by which British goods will be admitted only in vessels of that nation. CITY, Twelve o'clock.---Consols opened this morning at 961, s for the Account, and for Mo. nu, 96i I, with scarce, any business doing. Yesterday's rise in the Funds is attributed to two circumstances: First, it was reported late in the afternoon that an Express had arrived from Paris with - intelligence that the French Minister had carried his Project by a large ma jority. Secondly, it was known that the Inte rest of Exchequer Bills is -to be reduced.—One Express has arrived from Paris this morning. FOREIGN MAREET.—There is little doing this morning. A proposition has been exhibited for " a Patagonian Loan of 9,i5,0001. 1 .1" It is un derstood that the Foreign Stock Exchange Com mittee have given notice that they will nut take cognizance of any bargain that may be made in any Stock or Shares, previous to the receipts being issued. The Gazette of last night confirms the report which prevailed in the earlier part of the day, that the Drawing Room, which was to take place to-morrow, is postponed until the 13th of next month, The reason assigned is, that his 'ALI,- J EsTY has had a return of the gout, slight, but such as might be increased by the fatigue arising from the ceremonies which it would be necessary to undergo, particularly as numerous presen tations were expected. It has been report ed that the reason for the postponement of the Drawing Room was, that the place was not sufficiently prepared for the reception of his MAJESTY, but the return of the gout seems to be considered as the real cause. It is understood that the CHANCELLOR of the ExcHEnuEn, soon after the re-assembling of Parliament, will move for a Committee on the Savings Banks Acts. From the low rate of in.. terest, it has become an important object with many persons, besides the poor and working classes, to make deposits in the Savings Banks, fur which they obtain, at no trifling loss to the Public, a clear interest of 4 per cent. and upwards, for their money, besides other ad vantages. It is true, that as the law now stands, the deposits of each person are restricted to a limited amount per annum; but it has been found that the restriction is easily evaded; and that any individual may contrive to invest a considerable property in Savings Banks, and thus obtain, with out risk of any kind,benefits which the Legislature never intended for persons in his circumstances. In the Committee to be proposed by the CHAN cELLoR of the EICEVEOIER, the means of obviat ing this evil will be considered, and if possible it will be effected by measures which shall leave the original intentions of the Legislature, in favour of the really poor and industrious classes, unaltered. Our present Paper contains a report of a trial at Hertford, on a case which had excited a con siderable degree of public interest, and which deeply affected the character of an individual much respected in the circle in which he moves• it must be highly satisfietOry to the friends - and family of the qentleman'in question, to see froM the evidence, (the details of which are as ample as our limits enable us to afford), that his excul pation from the char‘ge affecting his character for huinanity, is as satisfactory as it is complete. indeed, the charge brought against him was.con- Sidered by every_ person' in Court to be so effec tually rebutted, that several of the ''Magistrates publicly, congratulated the defendant on his ho nourable acquittal. .

Though the Drawing Room is postponed the Dinners of the :Ministers and Chief Officers of State, in celebration of His MAJESTY'S Birth day will take place- to.morrow, notwithstanding the delay of the former. The Princess A UGUSTA. honoured the Italian Opera House with her presence last night.— Yesterday' the Duke of roux, the Duchess of. GLOUCESTER, and the Princess SOPHIA, visited the Princess AUGUSTA.--The Princess AUGUSTA honoured the Viscountess CREMORNE with a visit yesterday, at her residence in Stanhope street. Mr. CANNING transacted business at t i tle Fo reign -office yesterday. • A letter from Marseilles, written by the Agent to Lloyd's, and dated the 16th instant, was re ceived yesterday, which states that the ports of Algiers and Bona remained strictly blockaded, and that all attempts at negociation with the Al gerine Government had failed. His Majesty's ship Revenv, Admiral Sir Jr. NEALE, anchored at Marseilles on the 14th - ,and was to sail in a day or two for Malta. • . Letters have been received from Lord Bra' oil, dated Missolonghi, March 16. • At that period his Lordship had perfectly recovered from his severe Indisposition, and was taking an active part in the affairs of Greece. His Lordship writes in the most glowing terms of the fair prospects' of the ek clause, and, cantionsids friends against at taching any credit to,;the disagreeable accounts which have been published in the English Papers. A Demerara paper of the . Ist ult. states, that a vessel had been dilPatched to Antigua, for Sir B. D'URnix, the •appoithed successor of Sir JouN MonRAY, in the Government of Demerara, and that he was expected to arrive in about three weeks.. . ICING's TurATaE.---The second appearance of Madame PASTA, last night, excited almost PS nu merous an audience as attended on Saturday. The Opera was again Welk', and having made so fa vourable an impression on Saturday, and on Mon day night, at the Phil-harmonic Concert, she self-poss e ssi on b o th in act iPaegrf:T and e s t i l n g w i n u g h , a n i l i o d re her Desdemona excited sym pathy as well as appl ause. GARCIA still dis played signs 9f indisposition, but he supported Thei i Mons. FERDINAND made s fi rs t ap pearance as a d ancer in the Divertitse -Illoot with effect, mciit ap th p a l t au fo d l e l coi, bu t the first act. His performance spas titdoes not yet appear to be of the first order. ARGYLL ROOMS.--It is with regret, as well as pleasure, that we last night atteuded these Rooms, as it was to witness the Farewell Concert of Miss SHARP, whose excellence as a performer on the harp hes justly raised her into high profes , sional celebrity, and whose amiable character in private life has rendered her the object of esteem to a numerous traiu of friends. The concert, last night, was led by Mom, and Sir Greonne SMART was the Conductor. The Orchestra was amply supplied with eminent Composers. The singers were chiefly It'll's. SALMON, Miss M. TREE, Miss GOODALL, IAIiSS VENES, AMBROGETTI, VAUGHAN, WELSH, TERRAIL, and Beee,kerv. —The music was in , general well selected and well performed.--:On ' the eatrance of Miss SHARP, to perforth a Fantasia on the harp, she was received with a warmth • of applause that testified the respect in which her talents and character are held, and her perform ance fully justified the admiration which she ex cited. In this Fantasia she introduced the melody of Donald, which sh e performed with variations and with exquisite taste and feeling. The same may be said of her second per formance, in which she introduced " • Had I a heart for falsehood framed," and by which she powerfully affected the feelings of the audience. At the end of the first act, a Flute Concerto, by Ntcnor.so N , was most de served applauded, In the second act, Varia tions on the Piano-forte were performed by Mr. SCHLESINGE R in a masterly style, and the whole of the Concert was received with reiterated ap plause by a numerous and elegant auditory. We presume that Miss SHARP, though she retires from public life, does not relinquish her profession, and in that case we are assured that her talents and her amiable qualities will meet with too much en couragement to render a public performance any longer necessary, though the cessation must cer tainly be a diminution of public pleasure. THE KING. WINDSOR., Arun ?7.—We are sorry to state, that the KING is again indisposed to-day ;in consequence of which his Majesty will not leave Windsor for London, as was expected. But we feel happy in stating, his Majesty is not confined with any severe attack of gout, but labours chiefly under a severe cold.—Sir H. Halford arrived at the Castle last evening, and left again this morning for London. POSTPONEMENT OF THE DRAWING-ROOM. ( From last Night's Gazette.) LORD CHAMBERLAIN'S OFFICE, APRIL 27, 1824.

THE KIliG'S BULTII DA Y.—We filld by the Country Papers which arrived yesterday, that his MAJEJTY'S Birth Day has been celebrated with enthusiasm throughout the whole of Great Brztain. NrwmaRRET.---The Craven Meeting concluded on Friday last. Few meetings have boasted of greater rank or a more nu merous assemblage of sporting and professional visitors. The First Spring Meeting will commence on Monday next ; and, we understand that an equal number of Nobility and Gentry is expected from the sport, which is snore than anticipated. His Royal Highness the Duke of York, the Duke of Rutland, and Lord C. Mannerswere the visitors to Mr. Douglas, at his apart ments at his Majesty's Palace, during the late Races; at the conclusion of which, most of the Stars returned to town ; but his Royal Highness the Duke of York, with the other tors arid a few private friends partook of a parting dinner with their host, and are again expected to join his convivial board at the ensuing meeting. Newmarket has been usually designated r. " place of business" during the races, but it has established its name as a delightful resort of the first characters in the kingdom, particularly during the season, for the hospitality and conviviality which then prevail ; ad the urbanity and attention of Mr. Pars, the purveyor of the rooms, fully justify his appointment, which by the last October meetings must be attended once at each meeting, by every member of the Jockey Club. General SAN MARTIN has arrived at Havre from Buenos Ayres. A letter from Jamaica, received by the last mail, states that BOLIVAR, the President of Co lombia, has a large party in Cuba, and that his future vidws, after settling the affairs of Peru, point to the acquisition of that island. The Commission for directing the alterations and repairs to be made in Windsor Castle has been appointed, and consists of the following Members :---The Earl of Liver pool, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Arbuthnot, Duke of Wellington, Earl of Aberdeen, Sir M. W. Ridley, and Alexander Baring, Esq. Arrant orNoua.—On Monday evening last a meeting took place in the Phcenix Park, Dublin, between T. T- , Esq. and Lieutenant attended by Captain V— and Major E-----. After an exchange of shots, the friends interfered, and the parties shook hands.—(Dublin ; Freeman's J.2;41-nai.) A Gentleman passing Milford church-yard a few days since, observing the sexton digging a grave, addressed him with " NVell, how goes trade in your line, friend ?"—" Very dead, Sir!" was the reply. CoaoNxit's INQUEST.—Yesterday afternoon an inquisition was taken before Mr. ThrwrN, the Coroner, at the Bird-Cage, Bethnal-green, on the body of James O'Brien, a respectable master silk-weaver, aged 26, who had destroyed himself.—Verdict, " Insanity." It appears that Mr. STAFFORD COOKE is not the only person in pursuit of ancient title and large possessions : we understand that Mr. R. H. K ELHAM, of Chelmsford, has laid siege to the title of Courtenay, and the more valuable ap pendages of one of the finest estates in Great Britain.—(Chelmsford Mercury.) There is now living in the parish of Enville, near Bridgenorth, a man aged 70, who has drank a gallon of ale per day for the last forty years, independent of small beer ; and he is now in the habit of doing so daily. lie therefore has drank the quantity of 228 hogsheads (sixty three gal lons each) in forty years. THE ARMY. GENERAL COURT MARTIAL. WINCIIiSTER.-At a General Court Martial - held in 'Win chester Barracks, on the 29th and 30th March, 1824, Breve , : Major John Mitchell, of the 95th Regiment, was arraigned, upon the undermentioned charges, via.:— Ist. For un-officerlike conduct in disregarding the'following Regimental Order, viz.:— " Regimental Order. " Winchester, sth Jan. 1824. " Every officer, on joining the 115th regiment, and previous to his appearing in regimentals on parade, is to present him self to the Field-Offier next in command of the regiment, nor- Lieutenant-C.olonel Sir Dudley Hill, to report his arrival, and to be inspected by him relative to his unitbrm and other ap pointments, and unless they are found to correspond exactly with those determined upon for the regiment, and approved of by the Field-Officer, is prohibited from appearing in them. —The undress regimentals are for the present to be worn, and it is hoped by the Commanding Officer that no officer will think of altering the form, or adding to the richness of the uni form or appointments established for the whole corps, and that their pride will he limited to appearing dressed alike, and in the neatest and cleanest manner on all occasions." • " By not appearing in proper uniform after joining the 95th regiment, from about the 28th January to about the lfith Feb. 1824, notwithstanding his being repeatedly urged both by the Commanding Officer, and by Licut.-Colonel Sir Dudley Hill, to a compliance therewilt, and in persisting to evade the said order." " 2d. For un-officerlike conduct in disobeying the following regimental orders, viz.:— " Regimental Order. " Wi's.chester, Jan. 5, 1824. " Every Officer, on joining the 9.5 th regiment, and previous to his appeariiqg in regimentals on parade, is to p resent hi mse lf to the Ficid Officer next in command of the regiment, r:Qw Lieere-Colonel Sir D.

The un dress regimentals are for the present to be worn, and it is hoped by the Commanding Officer, that no Officer will think of alter ing the form or adding to the richness et the uniform or ap pointments established for the whole corps, and that their pride will be limited to appearing dreSsed alike, and in the neatest and cleanest manner on all occasions." ' " Regimental Order " Winchester, Feb. 16, 1824. " The Commanding Officer will admit of no excuSe from any Officer after Thursday next, for being incomplete in any part of his regimentals or appointmenti, and Lieut.-Colonel Sir Dudley Bid will sce.this Order conformed to according to Regimental Orders of sth January, and report any deviation from it."

Upon which the charges the Court came to the following decision :—The Prisoner, Brevet Major John Mitchell, Cap tain in the 95th Regiment, is Guilty of the whole and every part of the charges alleged against him, which being in breach of,the Articles of War, do therefore sentence the prison e r, Bre vet Major John Mitchell, Captain in the 95th Regiment, to be roirimanded in -any way, and at such time and place as his Majesty may be graciously pleased to direct. His Majesty has, under all the circumstances, been pleased to confirm the finding and sentence of the Court, and to com mand that the reprimand to which the Court has thought fit'to limit its award, upon an occasion so-important to the discipline and general interests of the army. shall be coaveycd to thepri sooer, in presence of the Officers of the Garrison of Portsmouth, including such of the Officers of the 95th regithent as have nor actually embarked. His Majesty, having taken into his serious consideration the tendency and influence of B rev et Major Mitchell's conduct, es pecially in a young regiment, and the utter inadequacy of the punishment with . which the Court has visited the disobedience and disrespect towards his Commanding Officer of which it found him Guilty, h ag at t h e same time been pleased to com mand, that be (Brevet Major Mitchell) shall be replaced upon half-pay. .EDrunuyttif,'AißlL 24.—Yesterday morning two coMiia flies of the 9.4 th Regimens marched for Greenock to embark for Gibraltar, The men have not yet received their full cloth ing and accoutrements, but the drills have been very stric-., which have greatly improved their appearance.

The false returns lately made, with a view to liberate the bonded Corn, has filled the buyers' minds with so much apprehension, as nearly to have stagnated the Corn trade in all the markets of the kingdom ; and till confidence is again restored, trade cannot return to its natural state ; it is therefore almost need less to say that there is scarcely any business doing here, prices may be L , onsidere.d nominal, with little Corn at market,,,, BOP INTELLIGENCE.
