IReadily embrace the opportunity -your Letter,al-

Chid Baron in favour of your Worin -Medicine ;- my eldest
Son-having a few months ago derived very material benefit
from the use of it. He had been unwell lor several weeks
previous to his taking jt, appeared pale and- emaciated, was
languid; and complained frequently of pains in his and
side. The Lord Chief Baron, who had accidentally seen hint
in this state, tortunately recommended to me the triaLof yonr
Lozenges ; and that no time Mig:ht be lost, or: any mistake
occur in taining the gepuine Medicine, sent me three doses
of it. The first of their occasioned, a visible amendment,
and 'after the second' dose every unpleasant- sy ptom disape
peared, but I judged it right to giye the third, as the.two
tbriner hid agreed so iincominOnly well. Fio•ii that time
my Son has been in perfect health, and -I certainly attribute
his Cure wholly to the efficacy of the Worm
have sineedecJimnended your Lozenges m several:instances,
wherein I 'have the satisfaelion' to assure you, they have
uni-
formly been of great service. nought to adil, that from the

• The general tenor' of these Medical Reports, we
are sorry to obeserve, do not give satisfadion
to an anxious Public, naturally solicitous to. ascer-
,
tain the precise state of convalescence at whi'eh our,
beloved SOVEREIGN may have happily arrived.
Miniistersi we should suppose, will find it necessary
to be a little more explicit next week, as some ob.
pervations Till probably be made uptio, the subject,
and some queStions asked, in onc.. or pek-bap both
I-louses of Parli.pent.
About eleven o'clock yesterday Sir LucitsPEPYS
had an'audience of Mr. i.4.,,,p1N0t0rt, at his house in
Downing street, and taported to him the state of
His 1V4..1.e.,TY'S health,

Soorl.4lter twelve, Sir VRA'NCIS MILLMAN had
an audience of the PRINCE of WALES, and repotted
to His pi.oyal Highness the state of Hts MAI EST' '$
health.

Yesterday, about one o'clock, a Cabinet Copncii
was held at Lord HAVMEsBI,TRy'S Office, which sac

till thre:.

IT was last night reported that Advice, Lad yes_
terday afternoon been received in Town, of Fifteen
of the Enemy's Gun.boats having been taken and
sent into Deal and Dover. This report, we fear,
is totally void of foundation, as the Letters received
this morning from these Ports, not only do not con-
firm, but do not even notice such an event as a re•
port.

The account transmitted from Plymouth, of the
French Fleet having escaped from Toulon, did not .
gain the least cretlit yesterday, in- any quarter.
The way in which it was said to have come,
indeed, carried doubt upon the face of it. Dis-
patches, however, are stated to have been yesterday
received at the Admiralty, from Lord NELSON,
which were supposed to contain important intelli-
gence ; but if his being in chace of the French
Fleet formed any part of their contents, there could
be no reason for concealing that circumstance a mo-
ment : we do not find, upon inquiry, that any
accounts have been received from his Lordship him-
self direa. We shall be most happy, however, to
be able to confirm the rumour of his being in chace
of the Enemy, because we think it is only neces-
sary that the French should come out, to ensure to us
a Victory.

We have authority to contradia a paragraph which
has appeared in several Morning Papers, stating
that His MAJESTY had walked several times in the
Gardens behind the QUEEN'S House since his in-
disposition, the same not being founded in truth.
The Earl and Countess of BERKELEY arrived
yesterday at their house in Spring Gardens, .from
Berkeley Castle, Gloucestershire.
There was a report yesterday circulated, on the
authority of an American vessel from Virginia, that
Admiral LIN° is with his Squadron had attacked and
taken St. Helena. The circuitous coursemoy which
I this report is brought, joined with the known.fad
that Admiral Li NO IS certainly had not left the
Mauritius in the middle of aiober last, makes the
intelligence improbable,. and it was totally disbe-
lieved:

We understand that there has been some difficulty
respetling IVlr, SHERIDAN'S appointment„ which WC
are happy to hear is removed. It was not at first
thought of, that Gen. LAKE had many years ago ob-
tained ,the reversion of the .office. The friends,. of
the, General, however, considering that he is now in
possession of a most lucrativt! situation an India, to
which the favour of the PRINcE may not a little
have contributed, have de,cl7ired their oi:inion that
he will waive all pretettsion to a nation which
his gocd fortune has rendered no longer so desir-
able.

We understand a -Noble Earl, who upon various
occasions has condemned the condoft of H.s Wes-

ty's present Ministers, intends to come f rward in his
I:lace in the House of Peers on Monday, and-make'
some ,mquit',es •tpoints of the
highest importance to the Country.
It is understood that a farther additional Dory
on Fcireign Wines and Spirits, and on
.home-made
Wines and Spirits, will form part of the Ways and
Means for the present year. The poliCv of this
measure is, however, questionable, the consumption
of these articles being already diminished, in conse-
quence of the duties lately imposed.
The insinuations and reflections which continue
to be thrown out in the Irish Papers, under the au-
thority of the Government there, against the late
Commander -in Chief, strengthen the propriety,
which every candid man sees for an investigation
into the unfortunate business of the 23d ~f July.
The Public are indebted to Sir Joitu ttorrEsLY,
for having d.:clared his intention. of moving such ap
inquiry.
Letters have.heen sent from the Trinity House to
the different Gentlemen who have volunteered their
services for the defence of the entrance of the Thames,
earnestly entreating them,to be on board their re-
-.spedive ships before the Ist of March. They are
desired to carry with them their bedding, and such
other necessaries as were, by the regulations of ser-
vice, to be provjded at their own expense.. Those.
whose state of health is such as to render it impro-
bable that they can attend on or before the day ap.
pointed, are particularly requested -to transmit a
certificate to that effeet, regularly attested. by a
physician.

A letter from Amsterdam, dated the 31st tilt,
received in Giasgow, states, that a bag of letters dis-
ratcbed from,London on the z7lll nit. was, on its-
arrival at Amsterdam, by a Neutral Vessel, seiz-
ed by order of the FIRST CONSUL, and carried- to
Paris.

The French have we find thought proper; to in_
vale private houses in Holland, for the purt)ose of
seizing British Manufaaltres. upon the same..
principle we may expett t.) hear that they have also
put their mar/uding claws upon Britisb Money, if any
should remain among the poor pillaged Batavians.
It is evident that the general cliaraCter of the
Dutch has undergone a great charge, for otherwise
the same spirit that sacrificed the unfortunate Dc
Wrris would have risen in one desperate effort of
national vengeance upon their execrable oppressors
the French.
The difference between the EMPEROR of GER.
MANY and the' KING of PRUSSIA, relative to the
Equestrian Order, seems to rest upon one point,.
The former is anxious to preserve the old principles
of the Germanic Constitution, notwithstanding all
the changes of territory,' arising from the system
of Iminunities forced on the Empire by the tyranny
Of France. The KING of PRossiA, on the other
hand, appears desirous to maintain those Inderrinities
at the expence of all the antienr principles by which
the Gerntanic.•Body was
,o lung kept in an integral
state.

On Wednesday last, at Hinton, in Harnpshirc;
