THE KING.

The following are the Bulletins issued since our

last :

WINDSOR, Atm,. 4.—The King has had several hours sleep in
the course of the night, but the symptoms of his Majesty's dis-
order remain the same.
Aoc. s.—There is no alteration in his Majesty's symptoms
since yesterday.
AuG 6.—There is yet no improvement in his Majesty's limp.
toms.

Auo. 7.—His Majesty. has passed a sleepless night, and is not
quite so wcll this morning.
Auo. B.—The King has had several hours sleep in the course
of the night. His Majesty appears to be refre-hed this morning.
Au c. 9.—His Majesty is much the same as he was yesterday.
10.—His Majesty!ias passed the last twenty-four hours
in a MOM composed manner, but in other respects his Majesty
remains the same.

We regret to find, from the Bulletins, as well as
'ether means of information, that his MAJESTY gets
progressively worse. His MAJESTY'S aversion from
taking food has considerably impaired his bodily
strergth, which begins to yield to his unfortunate
malady. The symptom of resisting nutrition is not,
however, uncommon in his MAJESTY'S complaint,
but it is an aggravation of the disorder. Except
the physicians and their attendants, there are none
others who are permitted to have access to the Royal
apartment. The paroxysms are so violent as to yen-
dertonstsnt coercion necessary.
/In respect to the peculiar manner in which the
Royal sufferer is affected, we have learned that the
more threatening periods of his disorder are not en-

tirely periods of exhaustion produced by antecedent
paroxysms ; but that, after the paroxysms has sub-
sided, his MAJESTY sinks into a less manageable
state than one of mere debility ; becoming, as is not
unusual with persons labouring under his disorder,
sullen and impracticable to advice. Herice the
difficulty of prevailing on him to take food, which
lie refuses, as calculated only to prolong his suffer.
ings.

DISPATCHES FROM LORD WELLINGTON.
The Armide frigate arrived on Monday at Ply-
mouth, from Lisbon, bringing dispatches from
Lord WELLINGTON, as well as letters and papers to
the 22d ult. The principal intelligence brought
by this vessel, is the breaking up of the army under
MARMOPT, who is understood to have begun his re.
treat towards Madrid, or the North of Spain, where
the guerillas are most active, and must have in,
creased their numbers by success during his abcence.
The official dispatches favour us with no military
occurrence whatsoever.
The Brevet Rank of General has been conferred
on Lord WELLINGTON. Most papers have men.
tinned this appointment as though it had been be.
stowed for the sole purpose of enabling the PRINCE
REGENT to avail himself of the services of General
Lord PAGET as Commander of the cavalry. We
certainly consider this circumstance as highly fortu-
nate, but not as the cause of Lord WELLINGTON'S
promotion, which was due solely to his tried merits,
eminent abilities, and invaluable services.
Some more Lisbon papers to the 23d ult. were
received on Wednesday. They bring no intelligence
in addition to what is contained in the dispatch of
Lord WELLINGTON. As MARMONT has retired to
the north, there is no doubt but the movement has
been occasioned by the enemy not having been
enabled to sustain their concentrated force in Estre-
madura. Lord WELLINGTON is now so little appre-
hensive of any hostile attempt of the French, that
his army is comfortably stationed in cantonments,
and all apprehensions of a grand battle have for the
present vanished. Our right forms a line from Co.
villa through Castello Branco and Elvas to the Gua-
diana—Generals PrdToN's, Dtaor's, and CA Mil•
BELL'S divisions form the left. As MARMONT retired
towards Truzitto, a part of our army moved in the
same direction to watch his movements ; but his
retreat being confirmed, the whole army, as stated
above, is gone into cantonments.
