LONDON, APRIL i 6, 18c4. IT is with extreme satisfaction we state, that 1 - Its II.JESTY is so far recovered in his health, that there are ncy.v very slight remains of any sort of indisposition. The Fcx Cutter, Lieutenant NICHOLSON, left the Fleet off Breit !ast Wednesday afternoon, and arrived at Falinouli on Thursday evening wi t h Di s parches, from Admiral CORNWALLI3, which were immediately sent 4.tf by Express to London. They are supposed to contain communications from Quibe ton. Our Fleet were all well, im t h e Enemy, to the amount of 15 Sail of Men of War, in the Outer harbour. Vie have not received any intelligence either of tLe successor failure of the Vessels that sailed upon wl:at is called the Stone Expedition. It ..vas report_ e.,.; that two of them . had sunk while at anchor at Dungeness, but it is not mentioned in our .'ort Let. ler,, and thereiore,we du nut cun,id it ay drititlcd to any credit. E llam!argh Mail due on Wednesday last, arrived yesterday, but its contents are by no means interesting. The Official Notice from the French Minister for Forcign Affairs to the ELEcTua of BADEN, of the Invasion of his Territories, is drawn up with all the insolence which has constant ly marked the Diplomatic Corresrmlence o f t h e French Government. The ELECTOR is toid that the First Consul felt the deepest concern at seeing that a Frit:re whom he had distinguished with his friendship, should have afforded an asylum to his Enemies ; and, to make the insult more complete, after acquainting the ELECTOR that the First Consul had given orders for two detachments of his troops to enter the Territories of Baden, it proceeds thus : It isGeneral CAuLINCOULT who is charged with the execution of these orders of the First Consul, and who, there is no doubt, will employ every care and attention in fulfilling the same, which his EleEto ral Highness can wish. He will have the honour to deliver the letter which I have been direded to write."—So that the first official notification which the ELECTOR could have of this most extraordinary event, must have been from the General command ing the invading army ; and he must have matched to the place of his destination before the ELtcrott could have been apprized of the cause or object of the Invasion. It is said that Lord NELSON has detached from his Fleet five Ships of War, to cruize, as a Squadron of Observation, off the Coast of Ragusa. Saturday morning His MAJESTY rode in the Queen's Riding House. About unc o'clock the LORD CHANCELLOR had an Audience of His MA. JESTY. HER MAJESTY and the PRINCESSES took an air ing by Hampstead and Highgate. Yesterday the Lox o CHANCELLOR had an Au dience (:1 His MAJESTY. in the course of the day HIS MAJESTY signed several Official Papers. HER MAJESTY and the PaiscrssEs took an airing yesterday on the Uxbridge Road. Yesterday the Duke of BEDFORD entertained His Royal Highness the PciNc E of WALES, and a large party of Noblemen and Gentlemen, at his house in the Stable yard, St. James's. _ On Saturday the - t 3th Light Dragoons had a Grand Field-day on Ashford Common. The DUKE of CLAN ENE F and several General Officers were on ground, viewing the men performing some new manoeuvres. In consequence of a recent order from His Royal Highness the Commander in Chief, each Battalion of the Guards, when preparing for guard, have a due proportion of bate hones attached to them, which pass the Commanding Officer, in the rear of the Battalion, loaded with medicine chests, camp kettles, and other necessaries requisite for a Batta. lion on the march. The Officers, Non-commissioned Officers, and neatly the whole of the Privates of the East Mid dlesex Regiment of Militia, have signed a voluntary offer to extend their services to Ireland during the present war. This Regiment consists of upwards of twelve hundred effective men, in the highest state of discipline. On Friday morning the Band of the First Regi ment of Foot Guards marched out of London to do duty at Chatham. The DUKE of GLOUCESTER'S Loyal Volunteers march to-morrow afternoon to Kilburn Wells, to fire at a target for two gold medals. CRAUFURD BRUCE, Esq. M. P. is the Ch a irman of the Committee of Gentlemen of St. Pancras, who . are to form the regulations for a new Corps, and make out their terms of service to be submitted to His Majesty. An interview has been obtained with the Marquis of TITCHFIELD, Lord Lieu tenant of the County of Middlesex and his answer has been so far favourable, that they arc to proceed to t h e a ppointment of their superior Officers to be recommended to the approbation of the KING, and to ballot for Subalterns in - usual way. It is ex. peled that Mr. CRAB FURD BRUCE will be the Commander. On Thursday se'nnight the 14. th Battalion of Re serve, commanded by Colonel GR ANT, had their Colours presented to them, on their parade at the Barracks at Ayr, by General WEMYSS, who after. wards reviewed them, and expressed his entire ap. probation of their appearance and discipline. The 2d Battalion of the Army of Reserve have marched for Stirling. The Greenock and Port Glasgow Regiment of Defence, and the Brechin Volunteers, have offered to go on permanent duty, the former fur a month, the latter for any period of time, and in any part of Great Britain. The Shrewsbury Loyal Volunteers have agreed to go out on permanent duty for a certain time, in order to their improvement in military discipline. Independent of the importations from abroad, and the contraCts at home, a manulat - tory of muskets has within these few weeks been established at the Tower, where, in the course of the last week only, three hundred and fifty were completely finished. Near t v.o hundred persons are already employed, and the number is daily increasing. Th e Earl of CHATHAM, who has done him,elf infinite credit in this arr:_mgernent, has placed the whole under the supetintendance and direction of Mr. \\TELLES. LEY POLE. On Tuesday morning, 300 men of the ist Royal Garrison Battalion, at CumberlAnd Fort, volun tcerLd to serve in a secret expedition, under the coinmand of Cipt. LlceaTwooo. The men nobly came forward, on General Writir.r.ocxe informing them while under arms, that such a service would be shortly undertaken. It is stated, upon the authority of a Letter from tha! the report of the resignation of Sir M. IC HAEL SMITH, Master of the Rc.,ils in Ire. 1 40 ,1 i s ,%,ithom toundaLion. s r MICHAEL has rot held the Oilice abuvc three years. NAVAL NEWS.

PORTSMOUTH, Arx il. 1 s.—There is reason to believe that an Expedition from this port will speedily proceed against some of the Enemy's pos. sessions, in which the Athenian, Inflexihle, and Chichester, are to be employed. They are virtual. led for eight months, and Capt. FAYERMAN was yesterday called to town by Express. The Coast of Guinea is said to be the scene of operation, but we think there must be some more ulterior object than the repossession of Gorce. Arrived the Minerva Cutter, with the Ceres and Ajax Transports under convoy, from the West. ward ; Pluto Sloop of War, with tlhe Dover Cattle and Auspicious East Indiamen, from the Downs.

The Friendship, SMITH, of Charlestown, is taken and carried into Cuba by a French Privateer." On the z9th ult. Messrs. CANNEYS, of the Ships Susan and Abeona, of Sunderland, homeward.bound from Plymouth, agreed to keep company for mutual defence. Next day they fell in with a Priv,trer, which they engaged for some time, but which suc. ceeded in boarding the Abeona, after killing one of her men, captured her, and took out all the crew cx. cept the Master, leaving five Frenchmen on board. An hour afterwards two West Indiamen hove in sight, which the Frenchmen mistaking for King's ships, hoistel out the .Jbecna's boat, and three of them jumped into it ; Mr. CANNEL, who was Con fined below, hearing an unusual bustie, forced the door, and regained the deck. One Frenchman was haranguing the men to return on board, when Mr. C. adroitly pitched him overboard ; the only re maining one was at the helm, who voluntarily escaped in the same manner.

LINDLE Y'S cadtnce on the Virdoncello wa s as appropriate to the style of BRA HAM'S song as could be imagined, and was exquisitely performed. Mrs. BILLINCION exerted herself with great zeal, and received very warm applause, and BRAlffai supported her with admirable skill. The re-appearance of Madame Des after an absence of some weeks, was highly gratifying to the audience. She and her husband danced a Pas de Deux with prodigious eifeft. They rendered the Ballet of Irza so attraaive indeed, that the audience were detained somewhat beyond the hoer of Episco pal limitation.
