THE ROYAL FAMII.X. .WJNDSCR, APRIL 4.—On Tuesday, Tinrd ARTIEN, one of the Members of the QUERN'S CouncA, ar rived here in attendance on the K::,rc, during her MAJESTY'S absence in London. Yesterday, soon after eleven o'clock, the QuEEN and PRINCESSEI arrived fro►ll London ; at twelve the QUEEN held h Council ; which was attended by the Archbishops of CANTERBURY and YORK, the LORD CHANCELLOR, Lord ELLENDORQUGH, the Duke of lioNTao:4E, Lord ARDEN, Earl of WINCHILSEA, and the MASTER of the ROLLS; when the Quarterly PrpOa was agreed upon, agreeably to the Regency Act, on the state of tke KING. At the breaking . up of ti►e Counpil, the Me►nbers, and Sir H. HALFORD, one of the KING'S Physicians, set off for London. •!Saturday morning, at nine o'clock, the QUEEN, accompanied by Princesses ELIZABETH and MARY, left her Palace for Windsor, for the purpose of holding a Quarterly Meeting, under the Regency Act, on the state of the KING. In the evening, on the coining to town of the Archbishop of CANTERBURY, the President of the Council, he deposited the Quarterly Report, as the Act di rects, in the Privy Council Office. STATE OF THE KING.-Yesterday the following Bulletin was shewn at St. James's Palace Windsor Castle, April 2, 1814. " His Majesty has passed the last mouth in au uniform state of tranquillity, but bis disorder is unabated. (Signed by the Five Physicians.) Lord RIVERS and General CAMPBELL were the Lord and Groom in Waiting at St...Tames's Palace. Yesterday being Palm Sunday, the Archbishop of CANTERBURY preached before the P r incess CHARLOTTE, and a numerous assemblage of the Nobility, at the Chapel Royal. Yesterday divine service was performed at Carlton House by the Rev. F. W. BLOMBERG, -Clerk of the Closet. Accounts from the Dutch coast state, that " the Allies had issued no Declaration in taiohr of the BOURBONS, but the Proclamations of the French Princes were circulated under the sanction of their Commanders. The conscripts, and other deserters from the French armies, were forming themselves in corps, had assumed the badges and other dis tinctions of the Emigrant Fam►ly, and threatened the Communes which were inimical to their de signs with military requisitions. Thcse corps were headed by old veteran officers, and gave in formation to the Allies." The communication between Paris and the Coast is riomewhat interrupted, and it is expected the Mail swill have to go a circuitous route to reach- Gravelines. Two Deputies from Toulouse,. regularly ap pointed by the principal inhabitants, have arrived at Bonrdeaux, to cummutticate with the adherents of the BoußnoNs, on the most effectual means of re-establishing that Family on the throne of their ancestors. Halifax Papers were on Saturday received to the I Ith nit. The news from Quebec was, we under stand, to the 24th Feb. when no intelligence of importance had been obtained from the Lakes, or from any Dart of Canada. Gen. AVILE,INSON, who continued intrenched at Salmon River, had burnt the whole of the craft with which he hid pro ceeded from Kingston, and this circumstance is the ground of the report that the American flotilla had been destroyed by an hostile attack. 13y two privateers, taken by a British sloop of war, it was ascertained that the President, COM. RODGERS, had returned to'New York, after an unsuccessful cr.eice. She was fitting again for sea, at the time of their departure from that port._( 211. Chronicle.) We anxiously look fir something additional from Bourdeanx, and as the wind has for several days been strong from the south-west and west-south west, every hour may bring intelligence from that quarter. We understand the Duke of ANGOULEME has assumed the government of the city, in the name of his Royal Uncle. Lord DALHOUSIE com mands the British troops at present there, Sir W. BERESPORD having rejoined Lord WELLINGTON. The Dispatches from Lord CASTLEEEAGH, brought by Artcm, on Saturday, were laid before the PRINCE REGENT, and a Cabinet Council after wards met to take them into consideration. Yesterday t'he LORD CHANCELLOR Lad a long ,nterriew with the PRINCE REGENT, at Carlton- house. There is a report of Marshal BLUCHER having defeftted MARmoNT at Soissons, and proceeded di rectly for Paris, which city, it was even reinoured, had already been entered by the illustrious Prus sian Hero. _ _ _ Official accounts have at length arrived of the surrender of Custrin on the Oder. _ . At Rennes the National Guard had refused to march to join the grand'army. The thief Provisional Battalions for Doty deaux rema?ncd wind-bound in Cowes Roads on Saturday. General BAILEY, the Marquis of BUCK INGHAM, Sir W. W.WytiNe, and Colonel BAILEY, embarked in the Hyperion on Tuesday. Upwards of 200 of the 19th regitu,ent of foot marched through Cambridge last Tuesday, on 'their route from to Harwich, where they ex pect to embark . for Holland. Major RAITT is re-appointed Assistant-Deputy- Quarter-Master-General in the South-west Pis trict, in the room of Col. HAMILTON, ordered to take the command of his (830 regiment. It is with much concern that we notice the death of Colonel STURGEON, which happened An the 19th ult, during the march of the British army upon Vic. This place ,is surrounded for nearly two miles by vineyartk, amongst which the gal lant Officer in question having unguardedly ad vanced, a shot from a concealed enemy terminat ed his existence. Colonel STURGEON had distin guished himself on a variety of occasions, and his loss is greatly lamented by the whole army. General WINDER, one of the American Gene,- rals detained as hostages, left .Quebec in the middle .of January, on parole, it is said for two months, with the humane intention of effecting a change in the treatment which the eYtraordinary pretensions of the American Government have oc casioned towards prisoners of war on jot!) sides. We are assured that the paragraph respecting the change of an infant at the Brownlow-stet Hospital, is totally without foundation. 17411 C hl)iikol4r DISP,TCHES FROM ADMIRAL PENROSF,. --L•TIIE ENTRANCE OF TUE GARONNE FORCED. - NANTES DECLARED FOR. THE BOURBONS. SUN OFFICE, HALF-PAST Two. Captain COLLINS, of the Royal Navy, has just arrived at the Admiralty, charged with Dispatches from Admiral PENROSE. These state, that the gallant Admiral had forced the entrance of the River Garonne, and that a French Ship of the Line (we believe the Regulus), which defended it, was likely to fall into the hands of the assailants. We also learn by this arrival, that the City of Nantes has espoused the BOURBON Cause. Nantes is to the great River Loire what Bourdeaux is to the Garonne, and one of the chief Cities of li'ranee, both ;in a commericial and political view. It don- taini about 80,000 Inhabitants. This is, we suppose, the City (see our, leading observations), the name of which «e were acci- dentally prevented from communicating. It will be seen we have not over-rated its importance. Admiral PENROSE entered the Garonne on 11Ionclay last. We have beard that the reported Death of Buo- rARTE rests on the authority of a Letter from the Coast, and that the date mentioned is the 27th , not the 25th. We are sorry we. cannot place any confidence in this information. Stocks are to-day nearly a 5 on Saturtlay—very tle business has been done. Oninium may be quoted at IV, and Consols about 62:3,-. NAVAL NEWS. lIALIFAX, MARCH 8. - -Arrived yesterday the Lizard privateer, of Sale►n, of 2 guns and 42 men, prize of his Majesty's ship Prometheus,ont 15 days, and had made no captures.

The sloop that foundered on Thursday last- near Berry Head is the Havant, of Arundel, GALE, Master.—Wind S.W. A letter was received from an Officer on Satur 7 day, who had just arrived at Plymouth in a man of var, which quitted Basque Rovds a few days since. The port of Charente is How closely blockaded, and the French have, in consequence, taken the precaution of drawing . up their squadron to the interior of the harbour. By letters from America, it appears, that the Borer sloop had, by the great activity of Captain COOTE, captured and destroyed, in less than three months previous to last Christmas, twenty-two sail of the enemy's vessels in Long bland Sound. CORN-ExcHANnE, APRIL 4.—We had some few arrivals of Wheat and Oats this morning, and a considerable quautitx left over from last week. Oats remain at the prices quoted last week. Wheat met a ready sale at an advance of •;s per quarter from this day week. Barley and Malt are steady. Pease and Beaus remain much in the same state as on Friday. In Flour there is uo alteration. SMITHFIELD, APRIL 4.—This day's Market had a pretty good supply of prime Beasts, and the show of Cattle in other respects was considerable; Mutton and Veal support -last prices; Beef and Pork were clearer; and the trade in general w4s tolerably brisk. The sales in the Hay-market were some what lively; Straw and Clover:fetched last prices; Hay has got up in price. Messrs.

Measures. THE bucriEss ott ot,DENBOURO., Some of the principal attendant! on the P.aftott REGENT left Own cn Saturd..y morltinct, for Windsor . , toymake Preparations for the reception. of the Duchess of OLDELIZOTIIid P.l Cutnberland Lodge. Her Imperial Highness went to the R.us. , sian Ambassador's on Saturday to partake of o. grand entertainment prepared fur her by his Ex- cellency. Her Imperial Highness; accorripanied •by tbd same distinguished personages, Went in the Prince Regent's c:4rriagesfrom Poltency Hotel yesterday, about twelve o'clock, and proceeded to the Queen's Palace, where they were received by Mr. Gaiswelli the King's Page in Waiting, who eon.; ducted her Imperial Highness over the Palace, with which her Imperial Highness appeared highly de- lighted, after remaining there rather better than an houri:: F i rom the palace they proceeded down the Bird-cage-walk to Westminster Abbey. The venerghle Dean, Dr.- Vincent, received her Impe rial Highness with all due respect, and bad pre pared a sumptuous collation for her refreshment, of which she very condescendingly partook. The Dean and several of the Chapter conducted her Imperial Highness to view the Abbey. Her Im4 perial Highness speaks English very well, and fluently expressed 'her astonishment and delight at the place. She took her leave of the Dean soon after two o'clock, and then proceeded to Hyde Park, which, the day proving delightfully tine, was crowded to excess. The crowd was• excessive whenever her Impe rial Highness's carriage stopped. She returned to Pulteney Hotel about half-past four o'clock, and in the most condescending manner appearod at the balcony of the first floor, to gratify the cu riosity 4)f the public. At half past five, her Imperial Highness ap. , pointed to receive the Cabinet Ministers they accordingly attended at that time, in their full Court dresses, and were introduced to the Royal Stranger with all due form, and most graciously received. On Friday morning the Dukes of York, Kent, Sussex, and Gloucester, with a numerous assem blage of persons of distinction, called Ripon her Imperial Highness, to pay their respects. On Sa turday the Duchess of York, the Princess Char lotte, and Princess Sophia of Gloucester, with a numerous assemblage of others, paid their re spects. The Princess Charlotte's interview lasted an hour. Among the other visitors were. the Marchioness of Salisbury, Countess of Liver pool, Bce. At the entertainment given on Friday by the Prince Regent, at Carlton-house, for the purpose of receiving her_ Royal Highness in due form, every,degree of courtly state and splendonr was observed. At the dinner table she was placed be tween the Queen and Prince Regent, at the head of the table; the other branches of the Royal Family, and distinguished personages, sat accord ing to their rank. The Lord Steward presided at the bottom of the table. After the dinner a grand Concert was given, in which a most judicious se lection of eminent performers were procured. A Atnerous company was invited upon the occasion. REMAINS OF ANTIQTMT. A very curious discovery has been made under the patronage of The Dilettanti Society, which is highly interesting to the admirers of the Fine Arts. WlLtrAm Esq. who is well known for his Works on the Troad, Ithica, and Argolif, liceepted a mission from the above-mentioned Society, and, with. the the assistance of two eminent artists, Mr. • Famalts BEDFORD and Mr. JOHN GANDY, sailed towards the end of the year .1811 ; and in the be ginning of the year 1812, having reached Zante; proceeded to Athens. Having been detained by the difficulty of obtaining a safe passage to Smyrna, they employed themselves in excavations at Lieu- • sis, where the. Temples, though highly important, had never been explored, on account o f the dep:l l of the soil under which the ruins were buried.— The effect of their endeavours was the discover ing of the great mystic Temple of CERES, consist ing in a Cvlla.aboht 180 feet square, with a por tico of twelve magnificent Doric columns of white marble, more than six feet - The ap proach 'to this Temple by the sacred way from Athens-, was over an extensive pavement, which the " travellers conc4ive to be the Area of Triptolemus ; on the right hand of which was discovered a most beautiful Doric Temple in Antis, probably of Diana Propylx. The Propyhemn itself was exact ly similar to that of the Acropolis of Athens, a described by STUART. There was within this a second Portal, of the Corinthian Order, which opened immediately into the peribolus of the great Temple. Other curious and interesting discove ries were made by these travellers, but we have not room to notice them at present. The Princess of ORaNGE, last week, went from. the Hague to Amsterdam, to - he present at the ceremony of presenting the new Constitution to► the Nation by the PRINCE SOVEREIGN, and their acceptance of it, which was to take place on the. 2ith inst. The Guard of Honour Cavalry of the latter city, composed of the most respectable ci tizens, equipped at their own expense, acconrla suied the PRINCE SOVEREIGN, who had,been some days at Amsterdam, on the road to Haarlem, fur the purpose of meeting the Princess. Nothing 'could'he more gratifying than the manner in which 'tb i criincess was received on her appearance with the'rest of the . family in the balcony. The bells • were rung, and God save the King and - Orange Boren alternately rent the air. The Princess Dowager and the Hereditary Prince had also ar rived at.Atnsterdam, and experienCed a reception equally zealous. There were, it is said, 25 dis sentient voices of the 600 Notables, and the powers given to the Sovereign are great ; but all ranks are well pleased. Several failures, and one for 40,0001. have taken place in the Stock Exchange, in consequence of The extraordinary depression in the public funds. It :is supposed that the speculations which are to be settled for in Consuls. and .thnnium on the ap proaching clays of adjustment, exceed ten millions.
