" Windsor Castle, Dec. 6, IS to.
"The.Ktai6 has had but an indifferent night,
and is not quite so well this morning."

Signed as usual.
N.B.—The Evening Bulletin is discontinued.

We have received some French Papers to the 29th
ult, from which we have made copious extracts.
The Moniteur, instead of announcing, as it used to
do, viaories almost every week,in the wars against
Austria and Prussia, is now obliged to perforM the'
More humble task of commenting upon the dis-
patches of Lord WELLINGTON. • We are not, how-
-ever, surprised that- BuoNArARTE should feel angrily,
towards Lord WELLINGTON, and that he should en-
deavour to depreciate his charmer; that Noble
Lord has certainly done much to draw upon -.him-
self the animosity of the Usurper, but why the
.sairie feeling should,operate upon the minds of peo-
ple in this country, we are, we confess, at a loss to
understand: It is singular to find the Moniteur
entering into a discussion respeaing the battle of
Busaco, without having published any official ac-
count of it. Either the French Government has
received rvlAssENA's dispatch, br-,it has not ; if it
has, why nut publish it ? if it has not, BUONAPARTE
cannot be in possession of any information to war-
nut him in contradiCting Lord WELLINGTON.

Our Falmouth Letter of this morning states, that
the Speculation cutter had arrived there from Lis-
bon, which place sheleft on the 22d ult. ; the Mas-
ter of which reports,. that just. before he.sa ilecf, he
saw 3000 French prisoners brought into Lisb..m.—
We are afraid that the Master ha made some mis-
take upon this subject, because the Jasper, which
brought Lord WELLINGTON'S dispatches, did not
leave Lisbon till the 23d, and Admiral BERKELEY'S
dipatches are of the 22J. It is probable that the
Master saw the 400 FrenCh prisohers brought in that
were taken when- the nench -retreated, and was
misinfor►ned with' regard to the numbers.

We received this morning Jamaica Papers to the
6th The only ari4le W any interest wLich
they contain is the following 1--

There was no arrival from Portugal yesterday,
but some kite's received by the last ti aii contained
'the following copy of a dispatch from Colonel
TRANT io Geuetal BLRESFORD, which WdS DOI in
any of ;be Lisbon papers that reached us on Monday
LETTER FROM COLONEL TRANT TO 1118. EXCEL-

LENCY FIELD MARSHAL BERESFQRD,
" I havet the honour to inforrn your Excelleny,
that on the 4th of this month, a corps of .the ene-
my appeared before Villa Campo, ten miles North
of Tomar, to the number of 4000, or thereabouts,
having been detached from the main army. They
had been sent out under the command of a French
General Officer, with a design of reconnoitring the
position I occupied with the force your Excellency
- did me the honour to put tinder my direct;on.—
Posted near Millar, they were attacked by the Por7
tuguese militia with the greatest• bravery, and driven
in with the loss of between b 0 and Go prisoners, and
'as many killed. Our advantage would have been
more considerable,. and they certainly would have
sustained a severe:defeat, had they not so soon disco-
vered our numbers, which caused them to retire
oh the first volley. Our loss was only seven kill
ed, and i4,or tto slightly wounded. •
" Since the above aff.iir, as I found the enemy
strenghtening by reinfOrctirriEtitS, riiii7tTfiken 'up
my ground on the river Zezere, south-east of Ft-.
gUero, and have the satisfaction to inform your Ex-
cellency of the good conduct of .my and of
the.great.patriotism ot the people. By intelligence
. which' I :have received from Villa Rey, I find that
the corps of French troops which made an attack
upon Abrantes, abandoned that place on the 24th
or 25th, and 'returned towards the Zezere. The
troopi in garrison, from what I learn, behaVed
most gallantly; and are prepared to meet a much
larger force than the enemy can spare to 'send
against' them. The people are arA have , been for
seine time employed in repairing the 'Walls, and
mending the fortifications, under the direction of
able engineers.

" Gud preserve your Exce:lency many years.

Letters were yesterday received by, a ship dire&
from Hamburgh to the date of the 21st.trit.
counts from Copenhagen mention, that 4000, sea-
men had arrived in 2,•aland on their wAy troni Nor-
way to the Sehedt. They had-,volunteered
_to serve
in the fleet in that river. Ft cm Hamburgh and the
other Hans Towns, 2000 men had Leen furnished
for the same purpose,, who were proceeding to
Ant werp.

It wis stated on 'Change yesterday, tint an Em-
bargo had been ordered to be laid ors all SAedish

As "ille Morning Cfironicle has thou;ilt proper
to abandon the discussion with us upon the subjeEt
Of a Regency, it is hardly necessary for us to put-
'sin 'the subject.- We argued the questicin upon ,the
broad and genetql principles of. he Constitution, not
thinking it necessary to quote autl.orities upon so
Obvious a point ; but in referring since to the pro-
ceedings in 1786, we met with the speech of Lord
GRENVILLE, then• Mr. GRENVILLE, and Syeaker of
the House of Commons, and we have telt it our
din); to reprint it,' because it contains a.niost elo-
quent-and learned refutation of the unconstitution.il
doctrine's advanced by the OPposilon of that day,
and by the Chronicle on the present occosion...
