HIS *MAJESTY appeals rather bett,..l to.

day."

Signed as usual.

We are happy to state that his MAJESTY took
, the air on 'the Terrace on Monday and yesterday,
and that, from the progressive improvement which
has taken place in his. MAJESTY'S health, there is
'every reason to hope that in a very few weeks he
will be enabled. to resume the exercise of his Royal
fonCtions,

. We must certainly du the Morning Chronicle the
justice to acknowledge, that ii,' is taking the most
effectual way to recommend its friends to the
public favour, when it promises that
,their future
„condo& shall tie in dire& opposition to the language
it'lly have held for the last three years. Knowing the
'principles the Patty hate maintained, it was
natural to suppose that if ever they came into power,
~they
.would, with, resped to Spain and Portugal, to
Aulerici,- to the question of blockade, and the Or-
ders in Council, &c. aEt in' direct opposition to the
'system of the present Ministers. The Chronicle
not only. relieves our fears. upon that subjed, but
seems actually astonished, and'almust angry with us,
fur supposing that the Opposition would, when
They were in power, adhere to the principles which
they professed when they were out of it. We gke,
the. Moining Chronicle credit tur making this pro..
fe.sioti on the part of its friends, though it must .be
rather painful to acknowledge, that the only means
they have of obtaining any thing like popularity,
is to declare that if they get into power, they will,
upon all leading and essential points, ad upon the
system of 'the present Ministers.

The Opposition 'lapels are extrermly anxious to
assure the publicohat th, re is no foundation for the
repot-,s that there are divisions subsisting among the
party. The soreness which they manifest upon this
aubjea„ would almost convince us of • the truth of
the reports, if we had no other ground for believing
them. We have heard, that even upon the subject
of the. Prince's AntnNer to the Address of the Lord©
and Commonti; there was among those " eminent
Stttesinen," .is the !darning Chronicle calls them, a
very marked &nitre= of opinion. We have heard,
also, that with respect to that Answer, some of
those " eminent Statesmen" who, we are told, are
to be placed at•the head of affairs, were not con-
Suited, or, consulted, that their advice was not
taken.' 'Now if' all this be true, it certainly is a
most inauspicious beginning of that 'cordial unani-
mity which prevails among those eminent States
men ;" if it be not true, we shall
.be glad to hear it
Contradicted in distinct terms.

Leiters were yesterday received from Dantzie to
the kith ult. The merchants in that and the Pros-
flan towns in the Baltic having failed to ply the duty
of 40 per cent. imposed on colonial property, the
French RevenueQtticers have ,adopted an exttaor.
dinary urode of liquidating" this impost. They seize
such a proportion of property of this kind as, in
their estimation, will cover the duty, and send it off
to Paris. Every week immense, quantities of goods
ere taken out ~of the merchants' warehouses, and
forwarded to the French Capital, amidst the hisses,
groatu, and excerptions of the populace. The French
Custom-house Officers, as tinglit be expeded, du
mot put themselves to the trouble of, calcetaiing to a
traction the quantity of prodtice that will cover the
Arodolint of, the. duty. They not only make very.li-
bend allowances fora possible fall in the price of the
article,, but even include in their seizures as much
of it as will defray:the LApence of transportiog it to

We announced on Monday the, Rolntion in
Cuba, under the sanaion of the A►chbishop of thd
Settlement, We have.sini.e learned that. the Junta
r„knmioned under his authority- has been formed, and
Ole first public instrument of that bOdy, explaining
the nature and chataater of this pohtical.change, is
in the following' terms :

" The Supreme (tna of this Island, installed in the name
uf, and in allegi.oiee to, our b:loved King fertlin:ind
VII. and in obedience to his august Representative* the
Regency of Spam, to,the loyal and independent inhabi-
tants of Cuba.

41 Whereas, during the insurreelions nine commo-
tions by which we have been surrounded, the peo-
ple of this' island have remained unshaken in their
fidelity to their King and to their country ; and
since from the state of win-tare which ',fur nearly
tour years has been carried. on in ,Old Spain, our
dear Moiher has.been unable to give that parental
attentkin to her distant colonies which before they
ever experienced, the Government of this Island has
been conduEted by persons who, horn their Crimes,
oelty, and tyranny, were. unfit not only to govern,
but to live.

" Under the,e distressing circumstances, well
'knowing the impossibility of the interference of
Spain to relieve our calamities, the people of this
island have, in full meeting held; determined no
longer to submit to an authority which all classes
equally abhor.
" They have, therefore, by and with the consent
of the whole Assembly, appointed a Council or
Junta to administer justice to the inhabitants of the
island of Cuba, to be installed by, and in the name
of Ferdinand VII. This Junta, so appointed, it has
beeti ordered, shall perform all the functions of the
Governor, the Royal Audience, ,and the Cabilde,ln
the capital of this Wand, Port del Principe.
The junta, therefore, hereby gise notice to all
thoge who h ,vu any claims, accuiations, or com-
plaints of grievances, .to appear in the Royal Hall,
for the purpose of having the same heard and de-
termined according to law and justice; which it is
promised shall be administered to all ranks and nor
tions, equally, impartially, and fully.

The following letter from Mr. &Willi to General
ARMSTRONG IS among the Papers pres.qated by the
President ro the American Congress:—

" Department of State, Nov. 2, Mo.
" You, will, however, let the French Govern-
.
ment understand that this Proclamation tins been
issued on the ground, that the repeal of their De-
crees does include an' extinguishment of, all the
Edicts of France actually, involving our neutral rights,
and that the reservations under the expression it
being Understood,' are not cOnditiotis precedent af-
fecting the operation of the repeal ; and on the
ground also, that the United States are not pledged
Ogainat the blockede of Gt9t Britain, beyond what
is. exhibited in my letter to you of the 6th of July.
It is to be remarked, moreover, that in issuing the
Proclamation it has been presumed that the requi-
sition conained 41 that letter, on the subject of the
sequestrated property, will have been satisfied; this
presumption is, not only favoured by the natural
connection of the policy and justice of a reversal of
that sequestratio. with the repeal of the Decrees,
but is streugthetted by concurrent accounts through
difrerent channels, that such property as had been
seqtiestered has been actually restored.
