About leven on Monday night His MA J EST I fell into a deep sleep, which lasted t with very little interniission, - till Ten o'Clock yesterday Inorning, when he , awoke pettedly composed, This providential rest bad the hest plssible'cfreet. I - Its MAJESTY'S pulse was reduced by it to a lit.. e 11105, materially- subsided, and his- health was -other in a very perceptible degree bettered. This Oleasing accotint•had the strongest efren • upon the hearts and countenances of all his loyal affeEtionate Subjefts.—Looks of c.3ngiatuLi.. tion - were - interehanged-in-the streets before the tongue could utter the .joy of the heart—We shall only offer our fervent prayer that every day may ; add to the general felicity, by the increasing irnendment of the health of our Sovereign, till it is restored to That perfea state which we, in common with.all.'his.dutiful ancl'affeaion ate Sub- Sincero deslrr ‘" 'le more man aO. SD Mat h, 3 I, vt r had *e understand, that while strangers were last night ecludecl from the of the 140it , .c-. of Common's, 'Mr: speaking to the Question of the Postponement , of , the Call of, the -Ilouse, .observed, .that the,times were perilous, and that ci:cumstances of a - more serious and important nature had oecurretilinee the - Call than had ei isted at - the moment when it was moved for. ',At :the same time; serious as the occasion to ivhich he anud,a was, he had strong hopes that it was not such as would require the interference of Par. liament. Mr. PITT cotidtided, however, with observing, that as tht opportunityexistcd, h e • should wish to:avail himself of the advantage to be derived from so trimly . Members being 'in Town; and that he sh`duld therefore move, that the;Call be adjourned to Tuesday seinnight.— We sincerely participate in the hopes of the Right, lion. Gentleman on this most interesting Subje&. ..- I .. ..~. r e , WE this day give a complete Copy of the Note which we stated to have been presented on the tzth tilt, to Lord cARYSFORT, by the Prii_ sian Government, and which we received by the Mail of yesterday. This Paper is as important in itsobjea, and in the melancholy consequences' which it may have, as Diplomatically interesting from its nature and from its great extent. It MUSt, in fad, be considered as the, ultimatum of Prussia, and as its Manifesto ; it unfolds the print cip!e on which that Court has afted in this affair for some months past, and will demonstrate to those who may read it with attention, that it is with a view to the Politics' of Pet'eriburgh and Paric that the Prussian Government hag determined upon this decisive measure: We regret that it has adopted in this Paper, the. unjust imputations, the false reasoning; and the rancorous language of our antient Enetniei, and that we have thus' to .add one more to the catalogue of those who aie hos_ tile to us.• .' We had hitherto.entertained the idea that the, Court of Berlin would consult its real interest rather than the passions of its Allies, but we must unhappilynow ;renounce that expeCtation; and we arc no lOnger desirous of animating the hopes of our R(Thders, but their courage. By the last Mail Government received two. Letters . from Lord CA itY3FORT which we have every reason to believe no longeradmit the, possibility of doubt as to war with Prussia,_ and consequently with ,the three Maritime Powers in the North. If, unhappily, the first of these Powers. possesses greater means of doing us mischief than "thepther three, and if our: means of injuring that Potter are in an inverse ratio, we have the satisfaliOn to'know, that the war_in which the Court of PrUssia is.embarking, in so imexpeaed a manner, is extremely unpo pular in the Prussian States; and that the' inhabi tants of one of the hest parts' of it, Silesia, have 'already made remonstrances on the subjed, This province,. it. is well knoWn,. has by its linen ex ports the greatest commercial connetc.lions with our country, and ' will necessarily lose most .by the interruption of them. It will not, however, he the only 'sufferer, for our country is indebted to the amount of . about coo,oool. to Prussia, which,. in the present circumstances, will naturally be stopped.—Thus..will the.PrUssinGoverntnent,and those conneeted with it, meet,in the first, instance with akistpunisitmentforthepart which they have assumed ; we flatter. ourselves that it will not be the. las,t, and 'that we shall, before long, shew. them, by the most decisive fAs, that whatever., misfortunes tnaylaite afflicted our Allies oo.the Continent, and whatever may be the circum stances Or our internal situation, our Govern ment will have sufficient firmness; and the Nation sufficient energy, to' defend cQ the last extremity those rights: to Which. we are justly entitled, and cn the maintenance of which our existence de pends.. We have no. Acribt that such are the sentiments of the Majority of our Countrymen, and we do but anticipate, we ate convinced, the conduEt which they will pursue in moments 'of crisis and of diffic4lty. Yesterday morning the QUEEN and the Pt tx- CESSES ELIZABETH and MART, accompanied by Lady CHARLOTTE took an airing in coach and four round by Fulham. COMMON COUNCIL. 1 _ YEStERDAY a Court of Common CoLincil was. held, at Guildhall : present th e Ri g h t li on . t h e LORD MAYO 4, the.

The Court ordered. it to be referred to the COrn.: !nittee of City Lands, to consider and report their opiitksn .thereon -to the' next Court. . The Depitty COrn.:.tiw tors petitioned the Court for.,an in c rease of allowance for their lab Our, which was .accoinpanied by' a recommendation fl•om' their Principals. The .

Mr. Angell and Mr. Wall were appointed Corn_ meters in trust for this City, on the recommen dation of the Committee of Controul orei the Coal and Corn-nicters. The same Committee reported, it was neceisa. )y to increase, the_,allowaneefor.the work and la bour of the .

Among the numerous inquiries made -after the Sovereign's health, the following' card was left : Captain nLAKE, of the Grenadiers, George_ street, Westminster, in the Regiment of Colonel MtritaAy, at the Battle of Preston Pans, in the year 5745. ; .left among the dead in the field of Mrion, with no less than eleven wounds, one so capital as to carry away three inches of his scull ; preserved - fifty-six years to relate the event,. and enabled, by Gracious Proteelion, to make his personal enquiries after His MAJESTY." The amendment in His MAJESTY'S Health,: is - , to be .aittibuted in a great degree to a prescrip tion suggested by - Mr. ADDINGTON, as having been use d by his father Dr. AD D I NGTON . Se veral opiates having been tried, without producing the coinfortabie effed which was hoped from them, a 011 ow filled with , hops, was. placed under His MAJESTY'S Head, which produced the best effects, ailing as a powerful soporific. It is with great concern we announce. tir Cap ture of the Kent East Indiaman,, in the •Bay of Bengal, on the 7th of Ottober, off the Sand Head, by the Coxfiance French Privateer, of 26 guns, and 250 men, after an obstinate-Engagement .bf near one hour and forty-five minutes, in which Captain RI v IticTort, of the Kent; was unfor. tunately killed, bravely defending•the Company's property till the last moment of his existence, when he exclaimed, " Do not give up the Ship."
