It IA Nith great pleamnre we state that the Mes-
i•
seng,er /returned from Windsor ibis day with an
[ ' account
u that the Princess AMELIA is much better.'

We have made • some more extraets from the
German Papers which arrived yesterday :—Among
Other articles will be found the fourth Turkish Bul-
letin, from which, it appears, dirt by superior ge-
neralship, one of the Turkish Conimanderi succeed-
ed so completely in an ,attack upon a RusSian corps
of between 7 and sono men, that nearly the whole
of them were either killed or made prisoners, and
.all their artillery taken. The Ki gof NussiA has,
io obedience to the corniriand .01 BUONAFAKTE, dis-
banded several regiments of trfatirry, and the ground
ossignea is, ii,at in the present,tranquil state, of that
kingdom, they ale not I,eCessiry. A letter from

Warsaw repeats the rtpert that an important change
- is about to take place with reseed to the founts

kirigdom of Poland.

This morning four Gotten a.: Mails arrived :
their contents will be found subsequent co-
lumn. Count Rosati, a Swedish Nobleman, who
was sent to announce to BOONAPARTE the' Elo6tioll
Of BERNADOTTE to be Crown
,Prince of Swe-
den, was, we are told, rrosi graciously received, and
the Corsican sent back a Letter by him Co the King
of Sweden, congratulating him upon the happy
event. It is somewhat ludicrous to find the Swe-
dish Papers, telling- the people of Sweden, now
that they have elected BEItNADOTTE for their future
Sovereign, who he is, where lie takes his title from,
and.other neees3a-y information of the same kind.
A Letter from Frankfort contains a striking in-
stance of the.relentles.s tyranny of BUONAPARTE.—
It appears that of late many French subjects, driven
to despair by the intolerable oppression which they
experienced at home, had emigrated with their fa-
milks,. and crossed over, to the right bank' of the
Rhine ; an Order, however, has been issued at
Frankfort., to prevent any French subject from
crossing to the right bank of the Rhine, unless he has
aipassport.from the Minister of Police at 'Paris.—
Foreign passporti are of no use, and to complete
the tyranny, the Unfortunate emigrant is not only
to be refused permission to proceed, but he is to be
arrested, and sent back in custody to France.

We regret that we are mil unable to communi-
cate to our, Readers any intelligence from Portugal.
The prevalence of the easterly winds has prevented
any arrival, and as long as they continue, we must,
we fear, remain in this state of anxious uncertainty.

We yesterday mentioned a very gallant aelion
which had recently been carried into effeei in the
Basque, Roads. The following is a more particular
account of this spirited exploit, so characteristic of
our 'seamen :—" The 4rmide, of 38 guns, Captain
I-“RthrMAN, arrived on Monday at Plymouth, with
two French prizes, most gallantly cut out from un-
der the batteries ofßasque Roads, by her boats, and ,
the boats of the Caledonia, of 1 in guns, and other
boats of the fleet, under a heavy fire from the bat-
teries. The gallant seamen and royal marines, helided
by their Officers, landed, rushed up the rocks, killed
the sentinel at the battery, pdt all the guard to flight,
spiked all the 'heavy guns, tumbled them over the-
rocks into the sea, and, with three times three

Cheers, brought off three flue brass_ 12-pounders to
the boats. They struck. the French colours, and.
ac-
complished the whole of this brilliant affair, with

only Lieut. LIT-The, Bop' 24fatiries, losing.an arm:
in the attack on the French sentinel at the' gate of
the fort. I.4hey wele obliged to burn . one of the
vts4els—the other. two are arrived safe, and are,
laden with ship timber fit fur building frigates."--
A more spirited action, with a refrrence .to its ex-
tent, has hardly ever been exceeded by British

Jhe Prince of WALES, and-all the ,Royal Dukes,
remain at Wlndsor.
A n.accoutit of the state of the Princess AMELIA
is sent every mottling .from Windsor, by .a dragoon,
to the Duchess of BRUNSWICK, at Blackheath.
The Countess of HARRINGTON Was about to pro
teed-'o Windsor yesterday morning, to take leave of
,lit-r AJF;STy, previous to. her setting off for Ire-
.1:11).!, but she received an intimation that the 'QUEEN
(;u 1d not be' ahle,to see her, nor does she see any
owißg to the-state.hf the PiincesS AMELIA.

affairs of Messrs. GOLDSMID and Company,. gave
notice On the Stick Excl!ittige this oidlnini,

takein to-moirow, which is settling f.iay.

_ Yesterday rnorniniz the Ktt4G, the Dnkes of
YORK,, KENT, CUMBERLAND, and CAMBRIDGE,
Princess::s AUGUSTA andSoptirA, took an airing on
'horseback in
.Winds Or. Park till halt past Livelve

n'cl ,ck, accompanied by Lord NV AUSINGHAM, Lady
ELY, GoiluyalS GwvisiNE and Fri-zu9Y.
By a vessel which has arrived trout the coast of
Portugal, a letier has. been received frimn Viana,
dated tie 28, h oft.: in which it is said that art the
24th ere was a sma's skirmish between the rear-
gin!rd of Lord WELLINGTON, and the van of liflAs-
SENA. • , .

We have also received, through Portugal, an ac
count of some military operations in Sham, &ring
Which the French abandoned Daßica and Calata'ud.
The French who were inCastorin and its neigh-
bourhood assembled in Z irsa Majf.r, when the in-
fantry. and cavalry filed off for P,rtupl,• and 'the
the artillery by the Gate of Perales—ail destined for
the army. under MASSENA.
. • The French troops which occupied Lerina, Bien-
venida, &c. have withdrawn by the road: of Gua-

Letter, from Madrid state, that'JOSEPH had gone
from thence to Saragossa.
Near Mtedes,- eleven Spanish 'Soldier? concealed
themselvoi in some corn, and from their ambuscade
avacked twenty French, out of whom they killed
six, and took an equal number of 'prisoners.
We nave some letters from Mal.-tga, by way of
Gibraltar, of the 16111 of September, which contra-
diet the statement that SEBASTIAN' had withdrawn
any 'part of the garrison of that place, for the pur-
pose of reinforcul itimstlf to li,eet BLAKE. The,
Patriots, on tbe,ground that the people of Malaga
were virtually Frenchmen, had' plundered all the
villages in the neighbourhood, and among others
Velez" Malaga, about five, leagues from the port
whence the letters are dated. _No new contributionS.
had been taised since the date of the last 'cominuni-
cations, which were of the Bth ult.

The following interesting letter from Sicily
reached us ► esterday ,

" MESSINA, AUG. 23.—For about the last six
weeks a contagious disorder has appeared in our
army, but I am happy to add, that it has not yet
spread to any.great extent. We have abo:at 500
who are sick with it in Ge,hoTitals, and perhaps
about 70 men have died, but a
.great number of
'hose that are attacked recover. The weather here
has been oppressively hot, and so continues, but in
a short time-an alteration for the better must take
place, should it not we have reason to dread the
'continuance of this fever with increased malignity.
" MURAT has abandoned for the present, at least,
his.enterprize against this
.island, but his troops
re-
main'posted to the number of 40,000 wets, on the
opposite shore from Cape Vatican to Reggin, and
convoys are coming down the coast from Naples,
but they they are frequently intercepted by our ships
of war. The enemy has lately attained consider-
able dexterity in the management of those convoys,
so as to keep them pretty dose in s,hore..
small
By the arrival of a vessel the day before
yesterday. at this port, we learn that 17 vessels
,were
destroyed on the 18th • belonging to JoAcnim's flo-
tilla. We likewi.e took two of hi gun-boats, and
about 80 men. This is only one of the numerous
successful engagements in which our sailors acquit
themselves with the greatest gallant's, and general-
ly with , deserved - suceess."

Accounts were yesterday received from Holland of
a cast more gloomy than any i hat have corny float it,
since its annexation to France. The vigilance and se-
veritieS Of the French have completely destroyed the
little portion of clandestine commerce that, was car-
ried on. Fresh contributions w ere talked of ; and
it ;was even repkted that all the circulating specie
was To be called in, and, its placed supplied by
an emission of .disiinats, or some other dem,rnination
of paper currency. One of the letters says, or we'
grumble, but dare not complain. The French Gene-
ral at
.the head of affairs governs us will) a rod of
iron. While: we contemplate the' miseries. of sue•
rounding nations, misfortunes keep crowding on us.
Yesterday two fresh 'houses suspended their pay-
ments; and when our commercial distress 'will ter-
minate, no man can say."

, Several Dutch vessels from the opposite coastar-
rived at Gravesend yesterday. JEROME BOON APAkTE
had introduced into his dominions the impost of 40
per cent 911 colonial produce exacted in Holland, and
in consequence of this financial arrangement,a great
quantity of. property of that kind had been put
Alnder sequestration, until. the amount of such duties
should be paid into the Royal Treasuty% •
The Commissioners of Military Inquiry are pre-
paring another Report on the Pic:lll4n e Department
which, it is said, %ill be eqoalty interesting as their
Report on the Medical Dvartinent of
.the Army,

PLAYHOUSE ORDERS.—An imposition has been
often poetised upon the Managers and Per!Oroters
of the Theatres, which has been recently revived.
Leiters are sent in the name of persons connected
with NeWspapers, requesting orders, and as the
hand-writing of the persons from whom the letters
oreisupposed to come is probably not known to the
persons to .whom they are addressed, the imposition
often
.succeeds.—On Monday last a trick of this
nature was put into practice upon Mr: LovEGnovE,
to whom a letter was addressed ►n the name of a i,er-
son connected u ith the SUN. In this instance,
however, the trick did not succeed, but it was only
frustrAted by accident. We hope the Performers
will endeavour to detect 'these despicaole impos-
tors, and .brink them to•public shame. We hope
'so that the Proprietors and Edito;s of the public
prints will use the same endeavours, in order to
pose the pi,itul wretches to disgrace, d nut to punish-
ment.

We have the very great satisfaalioh of announcing
, • „
to our Readers, that on mal:ing up the accounts,of
the Consolidated Fund for the quarter which expir-
ed yesterday, there: appeared a Surplus of no less
than 3,599,5121. It will be remembered that the in-
come/of this Fund in the last year (ending st,h April,
181 o) greatly exceeded its vo,Juce •in any toriner
year;, the clear surplus in 'the four iparters
amounting to 7,019,0001.! But this extraordinary
receipt was istated by the. CHANCELI,OII. of the Ex-
CHEQUER to be, partly owing t.o circumstances pe-
culiar to' that year ; for which reason he: dis-
tinctly disclaiMed any 'expectation „Of an
sequal
prociuce for the present year 4. and iu.the Esti-
mates which accompanicd his Midget, instead of
7,000,0001. the amount of the surplus last-ye:sr, be'
it for the present year at about 5,300,n01.
only. We have thought it necessary to state •this
in giving the following comparison.of the two first
quarters in each year; by which ihere al;pears an
,ticrea6e in the jresent year beyond the pi 'd..t.ce, of
the correTmding half'year of- Iso9, of 1,300,0001.
notwnismanding all the special circumstance, iu fa-
spilr of the last year, above alluded to. it is need-
less to add, that the income of the Cons6lidated
Fund in the two last quarters'is the largest of -any
half year ever :known.
