airSduo.
Yesterday the Members of the QUEEN'S Council
held their Monthly Meeting. Those present were
the Archbishop of CANTERBURY, Earl of WINCHILSEA,
and Lord Axiom , They arrived at the Qaeen's
Lodge at eleven o'clock, where all the Doctors who
attended his MAJESTY were present, except Dr. JOHN
WILLIS, and the Report of the state of the KING,
luring tht last month, was fully stated to their Lord-
ships, who, after taking the same into consideration,
proceeded to the Castle, and held a Council with
the QUEEN, upon the same. Afterwards their Lord-
ships partook of some refreshment, and at three
o'clock left Windsor.

This morning Divine Service was performed at the
private Chapel itt the Castle, by the QUERN'S Chap-
lain, to the Royal Family and their attendants.
Yesterday, at one o'clock, the Duke of YORK ar-
rived at the Castle, and remained till five.

hours, attended by Lord WALSINGHA&I, Lady

more to tea, &c.

THE ARMY.

There has been no arrival from Spain since the
SABRINA, Captain ALEX. MACEENzIE, which vessel
brought the dispatches from the Marquis of Wu.-
LINGTos. The object that occupied the chief atten-
tion of our great Commander, was the important and
strong port of San Sebastian. The fall of Pampe-
luna was daily expected tia take place, as it was with-
out provisions ; but at Sebastian the enemy had large
supplies, its walls were defended by three thousand
troops (all French), and the natural position of the
Castle seemed almost to defy the efforts of the nume-
rous and heavy battering-train that was constantly
tiring from three different positions upon it. Two
breaches were made in the walls the day before the
SABRINA sailed ; but as the Noble Chief never makes
known his intentions until the moment of carrying
them into effect, it has been incorrectly stated, that
it was intended to storm the city two days after-
wards. Marshal SOULT had certainly joined the
French army at Bayonne. The Allied Army was
most abundantly supplied with every necessary thing.
There were seven vessels lying at St. Andero, with
all kinds of provisions, waiting to be landed. Gene-
ral Sir THOMAS GRAHAM was quite recovered from
the contusion he received from a ball in the thigh.
Captain MACXENZIE saw him busily engaged in the
trenchei before St. Sebastian, in the midst of the sol-
diers and artificers, directing the construction of the
works.—The day before the SABRINA sailed, Captain
Dunonuiau, a very able officer of the Artillery, was
killed in the trenches : he was talking to a bombar-
dier's wife, whose husband had been killed the day
before, when a 24-pound shot carried away the back
part of his neck.—Sir G. COLLIER is blockading St.
Sebastian with the SURVEILLANTE, SPARROW? ARROW,
LYRA, and GOLDFINCH. A part of the crews of these
vessels were serving ashcre at a breaching battery.—.
The Third Lieutenant of the SURVEILLANTE had
been slightly wounded, and two of the crew killed.
Colonel CAMPBELL, of the 94th Regiment, who was
'wounded at Vittoria, came home in the SABRINA, on
[cave. A ball struck the centre part of this Officer's

hat, which being glazed and hard, prevented the ball
from going through his head, was fortunately turned
round it, and it scalped the flitsh only.
Wednesday, a very fine detachment of the 42d
Regiment, consisting of about eight Officers and SO
well disciplined Highlanders, commanded by Cap-
tain HENDERSON, were landed at Gravesend from the
Inverness Packet, Captain MANN. They were land-
ed in excellent spirits and condition, and are to march
immediately to Portsmouth, to embark for Spain.
The first battalion of the 63d regiment, which dis-
tinguished itself so highly in America during the
former war, is in daily expectation of receiving orders
to repair to that quarter, to reinforce the army of Sir
GizintGE PaLvosr. This regiment is in the highest
possible state of discipline, and the soldiers talk with
enthusiasm of again reaping laurels among the Ame-
ricans.

The 16th Regiment, under Lieut. Colonel Totit3v,
about 6.50 strong, are gone to Clonooney •Barracks,
where they are to be brigaded with the 2d Battalion
of the 12th Foot, under Lieut.-Colonel STIRIC.
The 70th Regiment, under Colonel GRANT, have
marched from Belfast for Dublin, where they are to
be quartered.
The 76th Regiment, under Lieut.-Colonel WARD.
LAW, and the 2.1 Battalion of the 72d, under Major
ROOFER, are going on service : they are in daily ex-
pectation of orders to embark from Cork.

Several Major• Generals from the Staff in Ireland
are under orders for Portugal.

The Dumfries-shire Militia, under Lieut.-Colonel
M.Mtmoo, have marched frum Newry for Dublin;
they have been replaced by a detachment of the East
Middlesex Militia, under Major GORDaN.

four sail of the line, several frigates, fire.ships, and
small vessels. The arrival of the Marine Battalions;
under Lieutenant-Colonels WILLI,tMs and NIALCOBM,
was hourly expected. It was believed to be Sir Joules
intention, when he had accumulated his force, to lay
New York under contribution, and attempt to take
or burn the American frigates which lay in that and
the neighbouring harbours. The SYBILLE and CTO.
NET arrived at Quebec in seven weeks, from Cork,
