THE NATIONAL REGISTER.

TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS AND i HE PUBLIC.
The annual Index to this Paper, together with the Chrourduo, is Now
ready for delivery to Subscribers, at the trifling charge of Three-
Pence; a charge rendered necessary in under to i::sure punctual de-
livery.
Anxious to comply with the repeated entreaties of some of our best
friends, who wished to be per-Acted occasionally to advertise in a
Newspaper that circulated, tokiii:t, both Sun lay aad Monday, nut less
thin &AA) copies, WC have so far acconinicek.ted this cle:ctiption of our
pisons ; but equally anxious not to sacrifice the gratification of our
reaciilig patrons, we have, at the same tiara, and since the com-
mencement of this year, enlarged the columns of Tile NATIONAL
R eGisTma to such an extent as considerably more than compensates
fur the space occupied by its advertising customers. ANIICUS
1):4 fall to be convinced, upon a closer inspection of our paper, that
it contains more than any other paper, nearly six columns, extant; and
that, therefore, the Proprletors stand perfectly exonerated from the
complaint he has thus urged.
The Policy and Consequences of the present War, shall be continued
in our next.

WINDSOR, J. 25.

By a letter from Windsor, we have the satisfaction to
he enabled to state that His MAJESTY is again become
composed, in consequence of which, Her MAJESTY is
expected in the ensuing week, to resume her friendly

al ties.

The Council under the Regency Act, consisting of the
Archbishop of CANTERBURY, the Duke of MONTRoSE,
Earls WINCIIELSEA and AYLESFORD, examined the physi-
cians in attendance; the result had not transpired when
our account left Windsor.

DEFEAT OF THE TURKS, WITH THE LOSS OF TWENTY

THOUSAND MEN.

Two Anholt mails arrived last night, bringing intelli-
ence from the north of Europe, to the 18th instant. The
reports which generally prevailed, on the authority of
private letters, of peace having been concluded between
Russia and the Porte, appear to have been unfounded, as
another desperate engagAnent is said to have taken place
on the Danube, which terminated in the defeat of the
Turks, 20,000 of whom laid down their arms to the vic-
torious Russians. The particulars of this affair have not
yet reached us, but it is mentioned in terms so unequivocal
in the foreign papers, that we are inclined to give it credit.
The King of Sweden, is stated to have again taken
upon himself the reins of government.

GALLANT ACTION.

JA N. 26.

The Gazette of last night contains an account of as g.a.
lant and glorious an achievement, on the coast of Naples,
as any which we have ever had to record.—lt appears 'hat
in the early part of November his Majesty's ships Impe.
rinse and Thames, having a detachMent cf. the 62d rt gi.
ment, consisting. of 25Q men, under the command of Mayor
DAHLEY, on board, made a spirited and successful attack
upon an enemy's convoy in a small port near Naples. The
convoy consisted of thirty Vessels, moored under the pro.
tection of a battery of ten guns, which was defended by a
brdy of WOO men. Regardless of the disparity of num.
bers, the British troops, reinforced by about fifty seamen
and marines, landed under the fire of the enemy, stormed
the battery, drove the enemy before them, spiked ;di thl
guns, destroyed the stores and ammunition, and bronunt
off the whole of the convoy. Thus in every quartet /,1
:he globe we find our brave fellows displaying the same
cihnntless intrepidity, and overthrowing. ever y. opposition
to their conquering career.
