We feel the most sincere satisfaaion in laying
before our Readers the following Circular Letter,
which has been sent from the Office of the Secre-
tary of State for the Home Department to the Lotto
MAYOR, and o.e Police Magistrates of the Metro•
polls, and to the different Mayors and MagistratCs
throughout the Kingdom.

['CIRCULAR.]
Whitehall, January 1, 181 2.

So,

It appearing that notwithstanding the precaution,
which have been adoiled for rmiking kno,, n to
Aliens arriving and residing in this kingdom, that
their residence here, without having obtained a Li-
cense from the Alien Office, is illegal ; many Aliens
wilfully neglect to comply with the regulations laid
down in the 23d, and 25th sections of the Alien
Act in ibis respect ; and there being also reason to
believe, that many Aliens have found means of in-
troducing themselves- into this country for the ilk-
gal purpose of assisting in the escape of Prisoners
of War, &c. Mr. Secretary RYDER has directed me.
to call your special attention to this subject, and to
suggest to you the expediency of proceeding, as the
Alien Act directs, against all such Aliens as may be
found resident in your district under the circum-
stances above stated. I am at the same time di-
rected to point your attention to the 30th section of
the said Act, from which
,you will pet ceive that all
housekeepers who shall receive Aliens to lodge or
reside in their houses for more than 24 Hours, with-

out complying with the provisions therein contain-
ed, are liable to a Penalty of Ten Ponds.
In all cases where Aliens shall be, committed by
you for being at large without having obtained a
License, or whose • Licenses have expired, or who.
Shall have failed to comply with the conditions there-
in expressed, I have to request you will transmit
me an account at your proceedings, for Mr. Secre-
taty.RYDEß'S information, in order that he may de-
cide as to the ultimate Di,pos:ll of such Persons
when the Period shall hare expired for Which they
stand committed.

I am Sir,

Your most obedirmr,
Humble Servant,

JOHN BECKETT.

DECLARATION OF THE MEMBERS OF HER,MA.
jESTY'S COUNCIL, RESPECTING THE STATE
OF HIS MAIESTY'S HEALTIi.

We, the under-written Members of the C,4‘ancii
appointed to assist her Majesty in the execution of
the trusts committed to her Majesty, by virtue of
the statute passed in the 51st year of his M?jczsty's
reign, intituled, " An Act to provide for the Admi-

Care of his Majesty's Royal Person during the
Continuance of his Majesty's Illness, and for the
Resumption of the Exercise of the Royal Autho-
rity by his Majesty," having• duly met together on
this 4th day of January, 1812, at the Queen's Lodge,
near to Windsor Castle, and having called before us,
and examined upon oath, the Physicians, and other
persons attendant upon his Majesty, and having as-
certained the state of his Majesty's health by all such
ways and means as appear to us to be necessary tor
that purpose, do hereby declare and certify, that the
state of his Majesty's health, at the time of this our
meeting, is not such as to enable his Majesty to re-
sume the personal exercise of his Royal authority.
That his MAJESTY'S bodily health appears to
us to be as good as at any of the periods of our for-
mer Reports.
That his MAJESTY'S mental health appears to
us not to be worse than at the period of our las;
Report.
That all the Physicians attending his MAJESTY
agree in stating, that they think his MAJESTY'S
complete and final recovery improbabl!., •Wfre.ing,
however, as to the degree of such improbability
some of them expressing themselves as not despair-
ing, others as not entirely despairing, and one of
them representing that he cannot help despairing of '
such recovery. (Signed)

Shortly after the above Report had been read

in the presence of all the Physicians, and one of the
Members of the Council had left Windsor, the
Physician alluded to in the last clause of the Re-
port, stated in writing, to the other Members of
the Council, then remaining at Windsor, " That he
had unguardedly mide us: of an expression which
he was apprehensive might carry a meaning far be-
yond what he intended to express, and requested
to be allowed to correct it ; and assured the. Coun-
cil that whilst hr thought the final recovery of
his MAJESTY very improbable, he by no means
despaired of it.
The Members of the Council to whom the above
statement was made, having sworn the •Physician al-
luded to, to the truth thereof, afterwards communi-
cated the same to the whole of the Council assem-
bled on this sth thy of January, who have deem-,
ed it right to subjoin this fact to the above declara-
tion. „ (Signed)
