Iv THE SUN. SOLENI Q - UIS DICERE FALSUAI AUDEAT ? LONDON, FEBRUARY 25, 18c4. THE following Bulletin was issued this n-tornlng soon after twelve : " jails MAJESTY remains today much in the same staje in which he was yesterday, • (Signed Pg.rvs. " H. R. KZYWOLDS. •" F. M 'llll4 A . 4, W. HEBERDEN." " Qiieen's-117zre, Februaky 1304. • The general tenor' of these Medical Reports, we are sorry to obeserve, do not give satisfadion to an anxious Public, naturally solicitous to . ascer , tain the precise state of convalescence at whi'eh our, beloved SOVEREIGN may have happily arrived. Mini i sters i we should suppose, will find it necessary to be a little more explicit next week, as some ob. pervations Till probably be made uptio, the subject, and some queStions asked, in onc.. or pek - bap both I-louses of Parli.pent. About eleven o'clock yesterday Sir LucitsPEPYS had an'audience of Mr. i.4. ,, ,p1N0t0rt, at his house in Downing street, and taported to him the state of His 1V4..1.e.,TY'S health, Soorl . 4lter twelve, Sir VRA'NCIS M I LLMAN had an audience of the PRINCE of WALES, and repotted to His pi.oyal Highness the state of Hts MAI EST' '$ health. Yesterday, about one o'clock, a Cabinet Copncii was held at Lord HAVMEsBI,TRy'S Office, which sac till thre:. IT was last night reported that Advice, Lad yes_ terday afternoon been received in Town, of Fifteen of the Enemy's Gun.boats having been taken and sent into Deal and Dover. This report, we fear, is totally void of foundation, as the Letters received this morning from these Ports, not only do not con firm, but do not even notice such an event as a re• port. The account transmitted from Plymouth, of the French Fleet having escaped from Toulon, did not . gain the least cretlit yesterday, in - any quarter. The way in which it was said to have come, indeed, carried doubt upon the face of it. Dis patches, however, are stated to have been yesterday received at the Admiralty, from Lord NELSON, which were supposed to contain important intelli gence ; but if his being in chace of the French Fleet formed any part of their contents, there could be no reason for concealing that circumstance a mo ment : we do not find, upon inquiry, that any accounts have been received from his Lordship him self direa. We shall be most happy, however, to be able to confirm the rumour of his being in chace of the Enemy, because we think it is only neces sary that the French should come out, to ensure to us a Victory. We have authority to contradia a paragraph which has appeared in several Morning Papers, stating that His MAJESTY had walked several times in the Gardens behind the QUEEN'S House since his in disposition, the same not being founded in truth. The Earl and Countess of BERKELEY arrived yesterday at their house in Spring Gardens, .from Berkeley Castle, Gloucestershire. There was a report yesterday circulated, on the authority of an American vessel from Virginia, that Admiral LIN° is with his Squadron had attacked and taken St. Helena. The circuitous coursemoy which I this report is brought, joined with the known.fad that Admiral Li NO IS certainly had not left the Mauritius in the middle of aiober last, makes the intelligence improbable,. and it was totally disbe lieved: We understand that there has been some difficulty respetling IVlr, SHERIDAN'S appointment„ which WC are happy to hear is removed. It was not at first thought of, that Gen. LAKE had many years ago ob tained ,the reversion of the .office. The friends,. of the, General, however, considering that he is now in possession of a most lucrativt! situation an India, to which the favour of the PRINcE may not a little have contributed, have de,cl7ired their oi:inion that he will waive all pretettsion to a nation which his gocd fortune has rendered no longer so desir able. We understand a -Noble Earl, who upon various occasions has condemned the condoft of H.s Wes- ty's present Ministers, intends to come f rward in his I:lace in the House of Peers on Monday, and-make' some ,mquit',es •tpoints of t he highest importance to the Country. It is understood that a farther additional Dory on Fcireign Wines and Spirits, and on . home-made Wines and Spirits, will form part of the Ways and Means for the present year. The poliCv of this measure is, however, questionable, the consumption of these articles being already diminished, in conse quence of the duties lately imposed. The insinuations and reflections which continue to be thrown out in the Irish Papers, under the au thority of the Government there, against the late Commander - in Chief, strengthen the propriety, which every candid man sees for an investigation into the unfortunate business of the 23 d ~f July. The Public are indebted to Sir Joitu ttorrEsLY, for having d.:clared his intention. of moving such ap inquiry. Letters have . heen sent from the Trinity House to the different Gentlemen who have volunteered their services for the defence of the entrance of the Thames, earnestly entreating them,to be on board their re -.spedive ships before the Ist of March. They are desired to carry with them their bedding, and such other necessaries as were, by the regulations of ser vice, to be provjded at their own expense.. Those. whose state of health is such as to render it impro bable that they can attend on or before the day ap. pointed, are particularly requested - to transmit a certificate to that effeet, regularly attested. by a physician. - - •• . . A letter from Amsterdam, dated the 31st tilt, received in Giasgow, states, that a bag of letters dis ratcbed from,London on the z7lll nit. was, on its arrival at Amsterdam, by a Neutral Vessel, seiz ed by order of the FIRST CONSUL, and carried - to Paris. The French have we find thought proper; to in_ vale private houses in Holland, for the pur t )ose of seizing British Manufaaltres. upon the same.. principle we may expett t.) hear that they have also put their mar/uding claws upon Britisb Money, if any should remain among the poor pillaged Batavians. It is evident that the general cliaraCter of the Dutch has undergone a great charge, for otherwise the same spirit that sacrificed the unfortunate Dc Wrris would have risen in one desperate effort of national vengeance upon their execrable oppressors the French. The difference between the EMPEROR of GER. MANY and the' KING of PRUSSIA, relative to the Equestrian Order, seems to rest upon one point,. The former is anxious to preserve the old principles of the Germanic Constitution, notwithstanding all the changes of territory,' arising from the system of Iminunities forced on the Empire by the tyranny Of France. The KING of PRossiA, on the other hand, appears desirous to maintain those Inderrinities at the expence of all the antienr principles by which the Gerntanic. • Body was ,o lung kept in an integral state.

Mr•.
