LONDON, FEBR U A R Y zo. 1804.

THE favoutable symptoms:in HIS MAJESTY'S
, disorder, which we had the happiness of announcing
on Saturday, it is with heartfelt satisfanion we
state, have ever since been increasing. The Bui-
letin of yesterday gave pleasing relief cc the anxiety
of the whole Niarcpolis. It was as follows

• The Bulletin was issued a few minutes- after
twelve. The people had not then assembled in any
great numbers, but no doubt the.same anxiety will
lead them to the Palace as hitherto,.and we most'
sincerely rejoice that their gratificaltion will be so
great.

We learn through a- private channel, that His
MAJESTY enjoyed four hours sleep last night, and
woke refreshed and composed.
Yesterday, about :welve a Cabinet Coon-
was held at ,Mr. ADDINGTON'S House, which
sat but a short time.

Lord SYDNEY catne into waiting yesterday at the
Palace ; his Lordship, on receiving_ the Bulletin,
distributed copies to Mr. HERBERT, the Groom,
who also came into waiting yesterday ; the Pages,
and the Gentleman Porter in Waiting, who ex-
hibited them, and took the names of the inquirer
as usual.

A. man of genteel: appearance presented himself
to gain admittance, who asked some very extraor-
dinary questions respeetingiits MAJtisTy;iind.who
was dikovered by the. Officers to be the man who

had been extremely troublesome several times- at the

Parliament 'for a few days, if the Report of the Phy...
sicians this day confirmed the hopes which Saturday
and yesterday so s-easonably created. Vhat it does Soy,
every one will sincerely rejoice, bit we cannot
suppose there can' bee-ltny truth in the ruthour of a
proposed Adjournment. In the presect critical,
alarming, and disttaded state of Public Affairs, it
is to the wisdom of Parliament that .we can alone
look up. In the'space of a short week the most im:
portant events May take place,—We may in that
tirise have to contend with the general Enemy for
the Independence and Existence •of our Country on
our native soil ; and surely at a period so pregnant
With events, Ministers cannot- be so unwise as to.
deprive the Country of its best and only legitimate
stay, in the present unfortunate suspension of the
Royal Functions and Authority.
We have already observed it as a general opinion,
which we-think strongly sanctioned •both by reason.
and probability, that when the sanguinary and selfish
Ruler of France hears of the calamity under which,'
. we have laboured,; and which no doubt would soon
reach him, he . will consider it s a favourable time
to try, his experiment 4lnvasion. Should this take
place during an Adjournment of Parliament, how_:
ever short, there is no regular authority that-can
assemble it in case of such an emergency.—
It therefore seems to be' the duty of both Houses
to remain upon their pus!. We are far from wish-
ing or recommending any precipitate measures—
they would be equally indelicate, disrespectful, 'and
impolitic ; but while Parliament meet daily, they
are ready to interpose in case of sudden and
absolute necessity. The report, therefore, of an
intended Adj6iirnment, even for a, short: per_
rind, we hope and trust is utterly unfounded, and
that the proceedings of this day will prove that it is
so.

By the Fox Cutter, which arrived at Falm(mtli
on Friday, we have news of Admiral CORNWALLIS'S
Fleet down to Thursday the Oth; at which time
they were ail w tll off Ushaitt, to the number, of
seventeen Sail of the Line and ono Frigate. " The

After the Convention in 'Egypt was accepted by

ITALY, -JAN.9.'--The 'continuance of the Fleet
of Admiral NeLsoti has, it is said, induced the
French Government to apply to. the Kr NG Of NAPLES
to give up three Fortresses to the French Troops,
not only that he may still more evidently prove his
neutrality, but to provide for his security.
FLoRENCE, JAN. IS.— Last night the Polit,
courier from. Genoa was murdered at the distance
of about thirteen Italian miles from this 'capital ;
and on the 16th inst. the Tuscan Courier, Ft gra!,
met the same fate in the Leghorn., Ile
latter was accompanied by two coaches, and escort-
ed by tWo Dragoons. One of the coaches escaped
the banditti, who were z 6 in number'; the other,
in which was 16,000 lire (livres) was emptied. One
of the Dragoons..was. disarmed and knocked down.

the old, ceremonies and etiquette were for the first

the report that the Eriglish had appearedwith Trans.
ports off Bon wers Haven. The French Command-
ant at Zurickzee, ordered the Garrison under arms,
and the gates to be shut, but it was soon found that
the English had sailed for the Flemish coast.

RATISBON, FEB. 3.—The following is the Brief'
relative to the Ecclesiastical Affairs of Gmmtny,
which tilt POPE has addressed to BONAPARTE.
Receive, beloved Son in Jesus Christ, our greeting and
our apostolic blessing. Thou !last given us, on every occa-
sion vlien we have solicited thy assistance, so many proofs of
thy zeal and good will, that we do not hesitate to apply to
thee with confidence.

" The Churches of Germany have in the late times suf-
fered an incaleuhble loss. They have been deprived, to our
great affliCtion, of almost all their temporal property ; and
thOu wilt easily conceive hoWmuch it grieved us,when we saw
them thus suddenly deprived of the greatest part of that solid
support which secured their existence and consequence: our
uneasiness was daily increased by the probably too well.
grounded fear, that this temporal loss will soon be followed by
the lois of their spiritual property. In truth, if we do not
immediately take the most, effedual means to maintain the.
Catholic Religion in Germany, and to prated' the Church
and the salvAtiOn of souls, it is much to be feared that in the,
great convulsion which the temporal estates of the Church
haVe suffered, the Eccle'siastical may likewise undergo the
same fate.: Called upon therefore by the duty of our.
office, to employ every nieans that may conduce to
give a,firm form to the liceksiastical affilirs of Germany,
and to, prevent the Catholic Religion from sustaining, any in-'

jury, either in itself, or in those objeds which are necessary
fr,r the support of its dignity and its ecclesiasticat property,

after, the hnuentable loss of its temporal possessions; we'
have resolved to solicit thy aid, beloved Son in JesutiChrist, and.
entreat thee tb support us in alaffair of such =Meat. When

son.

we laboured for the restoration of Iteligicti, and its secOlitYalif
tranquillity in Germany, thou didst support us with so gulc
zeal, that, under God, our thanks are due to thee for all that
t
Religioh has obtained in that CO'Untiv, after the fcarfit
storms and calamities to which it has been exposed' I'7
hereby present to thee a new opportunity, to spew thy de'
votedness to the Catholic Religion, and acquire 3100 glory'
convinced that, thou, after the numerous proofs thou Mast
given us of thy good will, wilt not refuse, at our entreaty',
thy support to the
.Catholic Religion, but will strenuousll
aid our endeavours in this important affair. We disPeuse to•
thee, beloved Soit in Jesus Christ, with an affedionate

(private signal to them, which not being answered,
bore up and made all possible sail from them, they
being about nine or ten miles distant, bearing South.

were answered by the line of battle ship.—At r r,

hoisted French colours. We now found that We
distanced them very fist, and continued to do so
until t 1, when the frigate came up with uS'ill,rain ;
we then sawed the gangways and skidds,' threw
overboard the remaining part of the warrant officers'
stores, with a quantity of provisions, slops, B:c.
At 5, the enemy still gaining on us, hoisted our
colours and fired a gun ; it was now impossible io
lighten the ship any more ; and it appeared•that the
frigate must soon be alongside. It was now deter-
mined, as our last resource, should an opportunity
offer, to hoard her, every Officer and man being
armed for that purpose.--At 6, the frigate hauled
her wind two points, and discharged her broadside
at us.—At 7 and a half, she discontinued the chaee,
and joined the line of. battle ship.—At 9, lost sight
of the enemy, after a chace of 36 hours, during
which time they chased us about 3bo miles."

The greater part of the Navy Lad anticipated,
on the appointment of Sir HARRY NEAL.E to a Scat
'at the Admiralty, that the cross sea and trouble_
some squalls which forced Sir EVAN NEP EAN from
that Board, would, by his firm, gentlemanlike, and
mariy habits, be a little moderated, and we are
happy. to. say they have not been disappointed. In-
deed., it is
_recolletteel that Sir HARRY had
his first rudiments of naval education from that
worthy, honourable, and respeded Officer Sir A.
