old custom and nriginal insthittion, celebrated that festival on the 14th
of the moon of March, on what:ver ,iay it happened; pretending that

THE KING.
The following Bulletin was issued on Sunday last
" The KING continues nearly in the sate state."
(Signed by the Five Doctors.)
UNITED STATES.
. A vessel called the Antata is arrired at Liverpool from
Ivor York, whence she sailed on the 3d ult. Its passen.
kin state, that War with this country is again the order
of the day" in America. We are not surprized at those
perpetual fluctuations in tht opinions of the American
Rulers ; they follow the course of the tides which wafts
to their shores the instructions from 13CONAPARTE. The
Government papers have formally denied that any propo-
sal had been made to Mr. MUNROE by Mr. FOSTER to re.
•new Lord AUCKLAND'S intended Treaty. This is again
as it should be. The Trench faction must have felt consi-
derable apprehension lest the assertion should offend their
Imperial Idol ; for it is well known that the Berlin Decree
was issued •not to retaliate for our first Orders in Council,
which at first were paised unnoticed by BUONAPARTE, tint
to deter the American Government from signing that very
Treaty. It is added, that Congress had authorized a loan
of eleven million of dollars, for the 'express purpose of
harrying on the rvar ; and that the Bill for alloiving the im-
portation of certain-goods from Great Britain continued
to lay dormant on the table of the House of Reptesenta-
.
tives.

APPROACHING BATTLE IN SPAIN.
Not satisfied with besieging Ciudad Rodrigo, we are in.
formed, by the arrival of the Speedy, Capt. WAITE, at Li-
verpool, on Thursday last, after a passage of seven days
from LiNbon, which she left on the 26th ult. that Lord
WELLINGTGX has moved in advance to encounter the ene-
my, and offer him battle before he has collected all his
force. By this judicious movement.it is possible that his
Lordship might interpose between SouLT and MAIIMONT,
render their junction impracticable, and beat them in dc-
tail. The following is one of the letters which conveys
this important information :

" Liverpool, April 2.

" After a passage of ieven days,,the galllot Speedy, Captain Wm ur,
arrived at this port with intelligence that the siege of flaslajos had coni-
-1
menced the ifith r. and that a most desperate sortie was made by the
French on the 20t i i which was ;vigorously and effectually repulsed by
the bytegers, comisting chiefly of Portuguese, but officered by the
Btitl4k. Lord WELLINGTON Aad taken: ANOTHER DIRECTION, WITH
DirtiritZNT WRAY a ~ond ccery thing, portended a atilt sanguinary cotylicl.
The packet sailed from Lisbon with the Spfedy.'"'

count CAATLEKEAGII and Mr. RYDER, to be his Majesty's
