THE QUEEN'S CCIJN'AL.

Yesterday the whole of the members composing
the Regency Council were summoned to assemble
at the Queen's Lodge Windsor, in order to hold
a consultation with her MAJESTY as to the state of
the KING'S health. At eleven o'clock the members
arrived, and immediately proceeded to the Council
Chamber. Her MAJESTY presided, and there were

present—
The Duke of MONTROSE, Archbishops of CANTEIt•
BURY and Yoiu; ; Lords WINCHELSEA, AYLESFORDI
ELDON, ELLENBOROUGH ; and Sir WILLIAM GRANT.
Lord Mort Tow, her Majesty's Chamberlain, offici-
ated -as Clerk to the Council. The whole of the
Physicians underwent a long examination, which
was not finished till near four o'clock. This evi-
dence corroborated the happy effects the K.:NO had
experienced in the indulgence of interviews with the
Royal Family, The Archbishop of YORK, Lord‘
WINcnELsr..A and AYLESEOWD, had likewise - au-
diences with his MAJESTY; and we have been in-
formed that those Noblemen affirmed Me propriety
of the KING bting entrusted -with the moderate exer-
cise of his Kindy duties.
The .P.RINCE R EGEN r is eXpeCt7d at Windsor this
day. A. Messenger was dispatched to his RoYAL
1-11c-aitiLss, supposed to hate arisen from some im-
portant decision of the Queen's Council. •

THE REFORMISTS.

tAre have extracted the following important and curious article
from The illorning Post, of the 2d inst. with the appropriate
quotations from .‘,r. Cubbett's anti-reforming-writings, before
)his grand political conversion
Jt will be seen by the following paper, which has been pri-
vately circulated, that the Reformists purpose holding a General
Mee►ing on the inst. The .select party, who hold private
meetings, have, it appears, converted themselves into so many
rgcruiti►tg sejeants, to beat up for men, but it wid he seen by
the number of the recruits rain d, that their success has bizticsto
nut been very great.

ACCIDENTS, OFFENCES,

A young man of the name of LucKETT, a publican near
Ashford, Kent, applied for Police aid yesterday to recover his
wlfe, whom 1w had traced to London, she having eloped with
a soldier, a corporal in the Royal Waggon Train, on S:iturikl,-
se'nnight, with f3Ol. in money, and deserted two infant children.
The complainant had traced his wife to lodgings in Lerwick-
street, and on inquiring for her was met by the soldier, whoai-
united him and swore never to part with his acre aerie. It
turned out, however, that the soldier had deserted, and he was
taken into custody on this charge and committed, and after con-
siderable persuasion, the lady having thus been deprived of her
gall nt, consented to return to her family at the solicitation of
her husband.
Sunday last, as five respectable .tradesmen of Dockhead were
out in a sailing boat, near Woolwich, by a sudden gust of wind,
and the unskilfulness of those on hoard, the vessel upset, and we
are sorry to add, that three of them were drowned.
A nu occurrence happened on board his Majesty's
frigate Rota, lying in Plymouth Sound. The mizen-topmast of
that ship was
_low, ring down for the purpose of its being re-
placed by anew one, but unfortunately by some accident it came
down by the run, and the heel- of it striking a. seaman, carried
his head off, drove his entrails complettly out, and Ms thigtt-
bones into the deck. •

thc left bank of the Ebro, and thus to save the cre-
dit boei of his predictions and °fills military powe-.
With such a plea a war with Russia would supply
him. Ile would tell the world, that unable to fulfil
our promises to the Spaniards, &c. by the force of
arms to wrench their country from his grasp, we
have seduced the good faith of the Cabinet of
St. Petersburgh, and compelled him, by the diver-
sion of his means, to delay the total pacification of
the Peninsula. He would unblushingly renewhis boast
of taking prisoners or destioying our armies in Spain
and Portugal, as soon as he should have punished
the perfidiousness of his late Ally, and deceived by
his specious misrepresentations, the world would
once more prove his dupe, and remain his victim.
But, it may be objected, he wuld then h
co a
uldve only
made an exchange of Perils ? o
The latter not
be compared with the former. Secure of the co-
operation of Austria : assisted by Sweden in Fin-
land, by Turkey on the Danube, and commencing
his operations in Poland on the very frontiers of
Russia, within which the first battle might be
fought ; at the opening of spring in those northern
climes, and consequently at the most favourable
season for invading the territories of his friend
ALEXANDER, little doubt can be entertained but he
would penetrate to St. Petersburgh more easily
than he did in former campaigns to Vi,:nna.
It must also be remembered that he has net
lost sight of his favourite plan of closing the
Sound, with; the assistance of Sweden and Den-
mark, as the late attempt on Anholt sufficiently
proves, in order to deprive Russia of the support
she might receive from our fleets and the landing of
a British army on the coasts of the Baltic. Under
every point of view, we therefore exactly coincide
with Mr. CANNING in the opinion that a war be-
tween France and Russia, at the present time would
be premature, and attended with the ruin of the
latter. We also think, that, aware of the advan-
tages which she would obtain in such a contest, in
' which she would hope to retrieve her military cha-
racter, already lessened in the eyes of the world.
France is now exerting every nerve to compel the
reluctant and timid ALEXANDER to unsheath the
sword and thus hasten his own destruction.

A vessel has arrived from Lisbon, which left tila
Tagus on the 27th. When she sailed, it was re-
ported that Lord WELLINGTON had advanced to-
wards Andalusia at the head of 7000 English aud
Portuguese cavalry, and a large body of horse ar-
tillery, in conjunction with the army of General
B:nolsFoaD. The whole force was to co-operate
with the Spanish army under General BLAKE, from
Cadiz. The contents of the Spanizth papers, given
above, strongly corroborate this report. The most
important operatims may shortly be expected to
take place in the 6outh of Spain.

LYCEUM.

Badly as 1 noticed " The ilinericans" in my last, from the
intrinsic worthlessness of the piece, and its consequent dainna-
ti4n, I did think I had dismissed it for ever. Circumstances,
however, induce me again to take up the subject, though it is
not my intention to dwell 'on it long. The Opera was not re-
peated on Monday, and on Tuesday it was announced for a se-
cond representation. At the same time the public were must
respectfully informed that the parts which had been objected to
were entirely taken away, and the author solemnly assurt d that
respectable body of people, c:dled Quakers, that no injui iuus re-
flection was intended to be cast upon them.

I was really surprized to read that the parts disapproved of were
entirely taken away, while the piece was announced for the
evening as a Comic Opera, in three acts. According to my ideas
on the subject, had the parts objected to been entirely expunged,
two-thirds of the piece, at least, would have been cut away.
With this feeling I visited the Theatre, panting with curiosity to
see the wonderful alterations which had been made.

The changes principally relate to the characters which were
originally drawn As Quakers. These, I ought to obs-erve, are
made by the actoks, and not by the author. From this
circumstance a tiderable idea may be formed of the strength
and accuracy the delineations of character originally boasted, as
it must be seen that the language which Mr. A ics oLD puts into
the mouth of one personage of his drama is so excellent that It
will do for any other quite as well as for that to which it was
first given. Thus those passages in The 4,nericans which were
at first intended to be drawled out with all the ordinary delibe-
ration of stage Quakers, are now found most admirably adapted
to a sprightly girl, an impetuous old man (not a Quaker) a
Jerry Ble.isom from. Yorkshire, and a neat unadulterated Mango
from The Padlock.

I cannot but admire the adroit manner in which Mr. AR NO LID
accounted for the danutation of his piece. On the first night of
its performance, I lo,,ked round at the audirnce, as I usually do
on the night of a new play, and saw the F101:5C WAS to:erably
well packed, but I did not observe an unusual show of Broad-
brims in the pit. He, no doubt, from the bole in the curtain,

been far greater on her side. The campaign would
have opened at a time when all the means of France
were turned into another and distant channel ; when
some of the fortified places of the kingly vassals
were disarmed ; and when, in consequence, the
Russian troops might have penetrated deep into
Poland, if not into Prussia or Saxony, before a suf-
ficient force could be collected to oepose them.—
But supposing that France could have suddenly
called up an army from the earth, and made a stand
on the right banit.of the Vistula, or even repelled
the invaders, the lateness of the season and the seve-
rity of the Weather would once more have compelled
her hosts to winter in Poland, instead of prosecuting
their successes, and carrying the devastations of
war into the bosom of Russia. ALLXANDER would
have had time to recruit his army, and enlarge his
means of defence,.whilst increased exertions on our
part, in the Peninsula, would have prevented the
removal of troops from that quarter. Meanwhile,
the wavering policy of Austria might have been
deeided, either through the influence of our nego-
tiations or the protnising prospects of the concern,
and the ambition and power of BUONAPARTE might
have been hurled back within narrower limits. At
this moment all these important advantages are
lost. Driven out of Portugal, and threatened with
expulsion from the greatest part of Spain, the
French armies must resign a prey, which, though
long within their grasp, they have not yet been
able to secure. Such an acknowledgement of weak-
ness and incapacity, on their part, would at once
overthrow the stupendous fortress in which NAPC-
LEJTN'S power lies secure, in public opinion. Ever
since the commencement of the Spanish war, he has
never ceased to tell the world, that our interposition
inthe affairsof thePeninsnla,will cause our ruin, and
that our troops will be driven into the sea. Such de-
nunciationshavehitherto proved vain; but should the
failure of his predictions be attended with their re-
coil upon himself ; the' shock given to his Throne
would revive the hope of liberation in the minds of
his slaves, and, in a short time, hosts of enemies
would rise against him in every pal t of the Conti-
nent. Unable totally to remove tire dangers by
which he is menaced, he endeavours to avert the
greatest peril and expose himself only to the conse-
quences of the least. To acknowledge his inability
to subdue the Peninsula would be ruin ; to continue
his attempts at reducing it would, after the late dis-
asters :)f his armies, be fruitless ; to abandon the
undertalift would be to avow incapacity , and
the only path for escape, which le has found in this
maze of difficulties, is to create a superior necessity

REPORTED DEFEAT OF TIE FIIENCH BY LORD
WELLINGTON.

The .late inactivity of the British and French
Armies on the frontiers of Spain, has at lengths
according to every appearance, been followed by
renewed operations of the greatest magnitudes
attended, as usual, with the most glorious results
to our arms. This intelligence has not hitherto
been received in an official shape, but was brought
to Liverpool by the b;ig Briton, Captain WARD,
in five days, from Oporto. It states that MAR.
MONT had attempted to relieve Ciudad Rodrigo on
the 25th ult. in consequence of which a general
action had taken place, which lasted two days, and
terminated jet his retreating six leagues behind
Ciudad Rodrigo, with a loss of • 20,000 in killed,
wounded, sand prisciners.' The letters brought by
the Briton, vdry in their statement of the rumour,
and allude to the engagement of the 25th ult.
as merely a severe skirmi,libetween the advanced
posts of the two armies, but add, that a general
action wa,4 expec,ed on the 2711, the anniversay
of the battle. of Busaco. The fallowing is one of
the latest date :

Oporto, Oct. I.

" It is said, and believed, that a severe skirmish between the
advanctd posts of the two armies took place on the 25th ult.
in whicn we were repulsed; but the 9th and List Portuguese
regimetlts coming out, the enemy was obliged to retreat ; and
report goes further, tillt we retook son:e pieces offlying artilltsy
which we had lost. general engagewent was expected ric4i.
day, on the !7th. we therefore expected hourly the account.
The militia here :n-e :ill ready to march should it be necessary."
Some doubts, however, are entertained of the
truth of thi3 account, as, according to report, Cap.
tain CooK, of the Guards, who is arrived, had
seen the bul:ctins of the army up to the 2Gth nit.
inclusive, which mentioned nothing of any skirmish
or battle ; but it is supposed there may be error
in the date, and that Captain COOK saw no later
bulletin than that of the 22d..

A Gentleman of the name of WELCH, or WALsti,
who came a passenger in the Briton, and only went
on board that ship on the 2d inst. or one day after
the above letter WAS wiitten, and therefore must
have had later information, corroborates its con-
tents, as will he seen by the following extract from

IVLW ISLAND.

RIX!INT4, SEPT..29.—Last evening his Majesty's ship Sabrina
sailed from Torbay for Portsmouth. This is the ship that first '
discovered; in June last, the island that sprung up from the bot-
tom of the main ocean, about a league from St. Michael's, one
of the Western Islands.—When first the Sabrina discovered this
miracle, she thought, by the smoke ascending, it was two ships
engaging, and made sail towards it till she discovered her mis-
take.; the sea round it was agitatd in a most wonderful man-
ner, and the water almost hot ; she sent her boat on shore on
this new-found island, but found it smoking, and so excessive
but they could not tarry ; they took possession of it, hoisted
their colours, which they left flying there, and baptized the
island after their ship's name, Sabrina.
. It appears in some parts from 60 to 4r/) frost high above the
surfacs of the water, and round it (which is about two miles
lorg, and half a mile wide) is 40 fathoms of water; what is
n ore sorpssing, there is a large creek or reservtir that leads
into i i., t'ortn of a horse-shoe, sufficient to contain eiitlit or ten
sail of the lit e, in which the water appeared as boiling. I have
n snow of the soil, if you may so call it, or part of the lava
that w. thrown up when the earthquake or eruption happened,
and it Lese:rhlt s smith's cinders. I find from otie of the Olken

who land .(1 ou it that abundance of fish were floating about the
and qu.,ntities of fish bones lying scorched on the shore,
where th,! sand appeared. No doubt, Goveriunentwill soon
people and fortify it, as it will make an excellent place of ren-
drzvous for our shipping, 'and those who trade to tne Western
Island,. I find some part of St. Michael's sunk at the tune, and
the frighttd inhah-tan s would have left it if they could, when
the ck ham): ned, as they thought their whole island would
love thsappeared.

STRAND BRIDGE.

We had the pleasure, on Friday, of witnessing the ceremony
of laying the first stone of a great and most useful undertaking,
the strand Bridge, on the Surrey aide of the Thames, close to
the laniting-stairs called Cuper's Bri lge, nearly opposite Somer-
set Hnuse. The Directors, as we are informed, with a due at-
tention to the interests of the cothiern, declined any expensive
display on the occasion. About four o'clock, every thing being
prepared within the first coffer-dam, a fine large block of Cor-
nish granite (a specimen of what the Bridge is to be built with)
was lowered down, and covered an excava!itin in the work be-
neath, which contained the gold and sliver coins of the present
reign, over which was fixed a plate, formed of block-tin, with
the following inscription engraved thereon :••••••
46 This foundation-stone of the Strand Bridge was laid. on
Friday, the 11th day of October, A.D. 1811, by the Directors
for executing the same, Henry Swann, Esq. M. P. Chab man ;
in the 51st year of the reign of King George the Third, and du-
ring the Regency of H. R. H. Geor4e Prince of Wales.—The
money for building which was raised by subscription, under the
authority of an Act of Parliament.—Jon Rennie, Engineer." •
The Directors and Engineer now placed their hands on the
stone,
.which had just been lowered, and were addressed by the
Chairinsu in a neat and appropriate speech, and success to the
undertaking was then drank, amidst the applauses of the sur-
rounding spectators, and the shouts of the numerous workmen
surrounding the spot. The sight was very interesting, though
unaccompanied with any pomp or [the v.,. This Bridge, when
completed, will be the largest on the Thames, perhaps in the
world, and is to consist of nine arches, ail of equal size, and 12U
fret span each, and of a beautiful elliptical form, which will
prove a great ornament to this Metropol s. Its utility will also
be very great, as an inspection of the Map of Loudon will ri.a.
dily shew; and the property on the Surrey aide of the Rivera id
be grcaily increased in value, a considerable portion of which
belongs to his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, who has
condescended to place his name among the Proprietors of the
e. Although the first stone is now but just laid, yet we
have the pleasure to observe that parts of tile work are in great
forwardness, through the vigilant attention of the Directors and
Engineer, for the piles are driving for the third coffer-dam, the
second being finished. The first dam is formed for the grand
abutment, and the others for the first and second piers—and if
the same energy continues, of which we entertain no doubt,
both the Proprietors and the Public will haye great reasan to be
tsatialled with the progress of this grand undettak.ng.

FRENCH PAPERS.

One of two events has taken place before our
Readers receive this day's Paper. BCONAPARTE
• tits either set out.for Magdeburgh, or Prussia has
yielded to his demands and sealed her submission.
The obiect of this .demand was,
The- the King of PRUSSIA should give up Col-
,berg. and G audentz.
The King of PRUSSIA returned for answer, that
the surrender of those two places would -be equi-
yalent- to the surrender {,f his Crown. Be posi-
tively refused.
Our Readers should he informed, that the French
axe already iii possession of Custrin and Stettin, on
the Oder, and Dantzic and Thorn on the Vistula.
The only passage which Prussia has remaining for
troops from 1? Min, and her territories on the West
a tip, Oder, to Ina tenitories between the Oder and
rthe Vritula, and beyond the Vistula is by Colberg :
Graudentz is another important fortress. The ces-
sion of these fortresses,,but particularly of Colberg,
would give the French the entire command of the
• •Oder ; they v ould thus intersect the Prussian domi-
:ind entirely isolate one part from the.other.
At Colberg there is a large Prussian garrison, and
the•place is strongly fortified ; Custrin and Stettin
have •Frenchzarrisons, but not very numerous ; at

PROVINCIALS.

REMARK/01LT eam—On the 9.3 d of August lest, a fine yoeng
fat ox strayed trom the herd which he was accompanying to the
South, as they halted fir the night on the Marestone pasturage,
on the hill of Carsegowrie, near Forfar. A diligent st arch NN as
made for the animal, but without succe .s; advertisements were
posted up, but not a trace of him could be- discovered. On the
tech of September, two people of Forfar went to explore, for
curiosity; a huge chasm in a rock on the hill of Carsegowrie.
'Yids chasm is about five fret Wede, and shout fiitty deep, almost
perpendicnier. Descending, into the cavern they discovered the
long lost ux at bottom recite ed almost to a shelteine covert d ivida
maggots, end alive ! In this place he could nrit:ter turn nor lie
down, a, d not a particle of he• bage grew tl,tre to sustain ben.
lie was take!. from his drt ary abode, after residing in it fur
twenty-three days without either food or water; lie was re-
stort d to his owner, and is fast regaining his usual strength and
vigour !
A boy, in the service of Mr. T. Fawcett, of Gate, lately accom-
p-ivied his master in shooting all day upon the moors ; and, i*
returnine in the evening, his master desired him to make the
hest of his way home. The boy proceeded on foot, but being
much fatieued, sat down, and fell asleep. How long he remain-
ed in that situation is uncertain, as when f ecid, he was in his
own bed asleep : a neighbour, passing on the road early next
mernine, foiled his clothes scattered in various directions, nearly
a mile elf. •Fhe account he give sea:, that he dreeret he had be-en
at a neiehhour's house, at a good supper, after which he supposed
he went to bed there. It appears he actually walked three miles,
though in a profound s'ecp the whole of the time; Curing which
lit striept d off his clothes, and walked tome naked, passed the
gate, and went up stairs to bed, the whole of toe time beieg
a sleep.
A few days since, as two men were -hooting moor-bens, in a
e place called the Pool, near Southover, or nethem mistook the
head of a black s, anlel, with which they were hunting among
the !teeth, fur their game, and shot the poor animal Si) badly in
the face. that one ot his eyts came out of Lu so, keel, and he fell
d snas in the agonies of death ; hut whil the shooters were
debating, whether it wohld net be best to put the dog cut of his
misery by another shot, a bird made its appearance, was kilted by
one ot them, and fell into the water, when the well-bred dog,
seemingly aroused by the report of t!r sun, g'r on he irks,
stageereel into the pool, end actually brought out the rime, and
laid it at the feet of his mister! The spaniel was immediately
talteu h ime, and is now in a fair way of neovery.

Hz L3lNnsußen, SEfl. 27.--‘According to the report of tra-
vellers front the opposite shore, his Danish Majesty, accompa-
nied by the royal guards, has left the capital for the purpose of
proceeding to Hamburgh, where his Majcsty will have an inter-
view with the Emperor Napoleon.
BERLIN, SEPT. 21 —The progress of the Emperor Napoleon
towards the north leads us to fear, that the period of our ttan-
/trinity is on the eve of closing ; moreover, the French troops
which occ. py our unfortunate country are kept in continual
m vement, marching and countermarching, by which means it
is etraliy impossible to ascertain their numbers or the point at
which their main force is to be concentrated ; report estimates
the former, including the Saxon and confederate troops, at
330,000 men. On our part, the desire is still for peace. and ef-
forts will yet be made to preserve it. Should we, I-iewever, he
compelled to enter the field, it will be with the deter; r: illation to
recover the independence of our country, or to perish in the
conflict.
WARSAW SEPT. .s%—His Royal Majesty our Duke is expect-
ed here on the 21st. The palace is putting in order fur his recep-
tion. It has been found necessary to have several hotels in the
city, the apartments in the palace not being sufficient for the oc-
casion this time.--( Dagen, Sept. 20.)
PANscowA, Arc. 19.—The last intelligence from Belgrade
informs us that the bo-tian corps, assembled near Trawnuk and
the Drina, have suddenly and entirely disappeared.
The corps of 3000 men, which made an irrupti ,n into Servia.
have also retired, dragging with them into slieve7 the inhabitants
of the villages they had pillaged. We, in reality, know nothing
of the directi in this corps has taken. All Serviais in a fright ;
for if the Russians lose a battle, the fate of this province will be
dreadful.

GAELIC SOCIETY.

On trlday the London Gaelic Society dined together at the
Osee of their weekly meetings, namely, the Castle avern,
ortugal-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields, to commemorate the An-
niversary of the Institution, where a number of most loyal and
appropriate toasts were given, accompanied by many national
and patriotic songs in the Gaelic language. That day happen-
ing, most apropos, to he also the Anniversary of the Glorious
Victory of Camperdown, WWI by their noble countrvntin,
Lord Duncan, Mr. B'own, the Prince Repent's Ilighlarid (=e-
nealogist, presented the Society with a well-designed and finish-
ed Transparency, representing Admiral 1)e Winter surrender-
ing his sword to Lird Duncan, on ship board, on the 11th of
October, 1797, with the following Gaelic inscription
Do 'd Chuine o IVflior'ear Mhic Donachie,
'S itxtoid Torn Chaidh thu that is,
'S ceansich thu na Dudchich bha falsail,
'S thug thu an Camlilich g'ar Cladach.
Which may be translated thus—
Brave Duncan, this day to thy memory is dear,
Thou traversed the main, its enemies to clear;
The false Dutch you conquer'd, with a tremendous blow,
And brought their fleet to Britain's proud shore.
