The following Bulletin of the state of the King's health
was exhibited on Sunday at St. Jamet's
Wirinson CAsTLF., OcT. I.—" His Majesty continues tran-
quil, hut his disorder is unabated "
The Sovereign Prince of Orange published on the 52c2d ult.
at Brussels, a Decree for naturalizing native-born subjects
Of France settled in Belgium. The letters of naturalization
are granted only upon the report of the Commissioner Gene-
ral of Justice, and the pities must make aprlication before
the Inth of the present mouth. I)utch troops are to form the
garrison of Antwerp.
The Brussels papers inform us of a decree in favour of the
liberty of the press, which does great honour to the Prince
Sovereign. It abrogates the system in force under Buoosparte,
and allows every one to publish what he thinks pi oper ; but
renders 2'l persons concerned in the publicatitin responsible
for the nature of the work.
A, cording to the desire of the King of Prussia, a Com-
mittee of the Clergy is directed to examine the Liturgies and
all the religious ceremonies of the foreigrn Protestant
Chuches, and to compare them with those of Prussia, fir the
purpose of producing the best form for a Liturgy, to give
public worship new life and new energy, and confirm more
and more the religious disposi!ion of the people.

MAJOR Soul to.—The exploits of the combined armies
in the late campaign have na orally thrown into shade the
services to which Cermany owed her fame in former wars
and might have, under a wiser conduct, owed her inderen-
dance. But the memory of Schill is still honoured as that of
the most distinguished and gallant prrtizan that all those Ikons
produced. As he died under the reign of Boonaparte, all
public honours would have only drawn down ven:reance; but
the spin it of the people was not to he totally quenched, and
the actions of this officer were recorded in all he moie se-
cret and s..fer forms of memorial. A pillar, in an °nen field
rear Stralsuml, bore the following inscription (in German
The popular attention was too strongly attracted to it, and it
was shot tly removed:—

INSCRIPTION.
Wbo rests this nameless mound ber.eath
'rhos rudely pil'd upon the heoll,
Naked to wind's and water's..veep,
Does here snore gloomy outcast sleep ?
It'el many a footstep freshly round,
Marks it as lov'd---as holiest ground.
Strange' ! this mound is all the grave
Of mane who liv'd its live the brave,
Nor ever heart's devoted tide
More nobly pour'd than when he died.
Stranger ! no stone 'night dure to tell
}!is name who On this red spot fell !
These steps are steps of German men,
That, when the Tyrant's in his den,
Come crowding round with midnicht tread
To vow their vengeance o'er the dead.
Dead ! No ! that Spitit's lightning still,
Soldier ! thon scest the grave of Schill

The Officers appointed to form the Coact-martial for the
trial of Colonel Quintin, of the 10th hussars, arc ordered

JOANNA SOIMICOITS DELIVERY.

It is confidently asserted, by the particular followers of this
Prophetess, that she is pieparing for her acconchement in the cfmrse
of this pre,ent month ; and that she will positively be delivered of a
male child, called Shiloh, by Wednesday next. In-itations have, it
is said, Leon forwarded to Dr. Sims, and some other eminent practi-
tioners, soliciting the favour of their attendance. We may, therefore,
now expect the mountain to bring its contents to hear!

As it now seems very likely that Parliament w:il meet oR
Tuesday the Bth of November, for of 11,t.m4.v5,
it may be useful to those, who have occasion to obtain Pri-
vate Acts during the approaching Session, to be int,l med,
That, (a. cording to a Standing °trier of the House of Com-
mons., of the 1 day of June 1811,) all Petitions for Pi
v ate Bills, must be presented within fourteen days after the
fit st rtielaq in every Session of Pa' liament.
A tour t of Common Council was on Wednesday held at
the Mansion Hon e. The (70tut took into their consider-
ation the Repoct of the Committee on the petition of the
inhabPants of the principle streets of the city, c( mplaining
of the number of prostitutes ft equenting the sante, when,
several nesolutions wfq e moved by
Afrer a long discrelsion,
Mr. J. Davis., and agteed to, with the view of endeavouring
to correct the evil.
The chance of gaining TWENTY THOUSAND POUNDS,
and the certainty, at all events, f getting the whde, or
p rt of the money back, accounts for the very great demand
at all the Ofrices.—The Lotttery will begin and finish on
Saturday next.
LONGEVITY.—There is now living in Keclings-lane,
Hanley, Staffind•hire, a woman named Elizabeth Horde! u,
at the advanced age of 108 years, and until lately she has
enjoyed a perfect state of health and spiri's,• brit which have
been Unpaired by the death of an only son, who, we under-
stand, was her chief support.
CANINE ArFEcTioN.—An extraordinary instance of
rritternal attachment in a hound, belonging to Mr. Karswell,
of Pensipple, in the neighbourhood of Plymouth, has la.ely
occurred.—Several puppiei, which she had given bit th to,
were ()Meted to be destroyed in a pond. The person,
however, employed, ineffectually performed his task with
respect tonne. which the mother, after he had retired, rescued
in a half drowned state from the water, and • conveyed to an
adjacent marsh, where she temporally deposited it in some
hull rushes, until, by fetching straw and other softarticles,
she had formed a bed, and continued to nurse it, for nearly
five weeks, •at every opportunity. Even her natural fond-
ness for hunting gave way to parental affection, and she
frequently left the pack, when engaged in the ardour cf
pursuit, to the surprise of her owner, who, at length, by
watching her motions, discovered the interesting secret. The
1 surviving puppy has been permitted to live, and received
II the appropriate name of Mese,.

A ml little on a Head of Hair ;
C hoice ig the subject yet we find,
A depth of science left behind.

S uch female Charms, so proud, so gay,
A s those which flow from Eastern coil,
