WINDSOR, AUGUST lt,

Yesterday her MAJESTY, accompanied by Prin-
cesses ELIZABETH and MARY, took an airing, and
paid a morning visit to Princess CHARLOTTE, at Cran-
bourn Lodge. The Royal Visitors were received by
the Bishop of SALISBURY, General GARTH, Ladies
ILCHESTER and ROSSLYN ; after her MAJESTY'S return
to the Castle, her Royal Highness Princess CHAR..
LOTT E took an airing in her phaeton, with her grey
ponies. Visitors arrived at the Castle and Lodge, to
celebrate the PRINCE REGENT'S birth day. Her Royal
Highness the Duchess of Youß, her Royal Highness •
Princess SOPHIA Of GLOUCESTER] Lord ARRAN, Count
MUNSTER, Centrals CAMPBELL, MANNERS. CA RT.
WRIGHT, and GOWER ; in the evening arrived the
pitiNCK REGENT, Duke of CAMBRIDGE, the Earl of
YARMOUTH, and Colonel BLOOMFIELD.
The Dukes of YORK, KENT, and CLARENCE, arrived
at the Castle this morning.
The day was ushered in with ringing of bells.

This morning the PRINCE REGENT'S band arrived.
Her MAJESTY, accompanied by the PRINCE REGENT,
Princesses ELIZABETH and MARY, took an airing in
an open carriage, up the Long Walk, and viewed the
PRINCE RIDGENT'S cottage, which is a beautiful place,
and very nearly finished.

The great object of the Duke DE &nes visit to
England is to invite the Petarce REGENT to visit Paris ;
and he is charged by his Majesty Lours XVIII. with
the most earnest invitation to that effect. The Coro.
nation would be fixed to accommodate the time of-his
Royal Highness ; and we learn that the PRINCE is ex-
tremely desirous of complying with the polite request.
The rumour now prevalent is, that the Duke of
WELLINGTON is not to remain any length of time
Ambassador at Paris, but is to be succeeded by Mar-
quis Weeerseev, when an arrangement will be made
for giving the Duke a seat in the Cabinet and the
Ordnance Department.
The Observer of to-morrow will contain an interest.
ing official Document respecting the removal of the
General Post-Office.
A Gentleman who has arrived is England from the
Mediterranean states, that he was on the sth of July
off the Island of Elba, when the vessel in which he
was passenger, was boarded by the crew of a boat
from the Undaunted. These visitors positively af-
firmed, that BONAPARTE had been for some days on
as excursion to the adjacent Continent, with the ex-
press concurrence of the agent of the Allies.
The Haarlem paper of the 6th contains a letter from
'Versailles of the Ist instant, in which it is stated that a
day or two before, the guards at the barriers of Paris
Were suddenly doubled, and some symptoms of alarm
were manifested. The occasion was understood to be,
that the Duke D'ANGOULEME, in the course of his
journey in the west, had met with a most ungracious
reception from a regiment in garrison at Brest, which
declared that it would march to Paris, to endeavour
to restore the deposed government. The officers were
Said to be the ringleaders of this mutiny. The regi-
ment was to be broke. The same paper atates, that
a list of the debts contracted by Louts XVIII. and his
family while abroad has been made up, and that it
amounts to SO millions of francs.
Advices have been obtained from Gibraltar to the
tfith ult. Trade was beginning to improve, but its
progress was tardy. We have grounds for believing
-that up :o the Ist of that month, cottons were admit-
ted into Cadiz and other ports of Spain, althouall the
Act of the Cortes by which the importation eMs al-
flowed, expired in May. The letter which mentions
their inttoduction at the date specified, adds," such
is the state of things at present; how long it may re-
main so, we cannot at all determine."
HERM RECOVERY OF THE BENSOU..--.The follow-
trig are the particulars of the rising of the American
prioseers in the Benson trinsport, communicated by a
Fassenger :••44 The number of the prisoners were
about two hundred. Besides the party of marines
there were thirteen invalided officers to protect the
ship, which being particularly crowded, it was custo-
tomary to allow a few prisoners at a time to come
-upon deck, even in the night time. But on our way
home, when on • the Great Bank, a Prussian prisoner
gave intelligence that a rising was meditated by the
prisoners, which having alarmed the officers, a strict
look-out at first was kept, and sentinels duly planted,
and we slept always with iron loaded in the cabins.
On the fourth day, at sire in the morning, during the
hlate's watch on deck, the prisoners left on deck
Sprung at wee on the tour centinels at the companion
ladder, disarmed them in an instant, and got posses-,
sion or the hatchway ; the rest all rushed on deck,
and besides the four muskets, they were armed with
a sabre, crow-bars, &c. and the beef cleavers. They
took the wheel, which was left by the Mate, who ran
Into the cabin where we were all asleep, awoke us in
the alarm, and said the sbip was in full possession of
the prisoners, who, with the most violent
bons, swore they would put to death'every tnifetnd
with arms. The officers, half asleep, Were stunned
with this alarm, :Ind uncertain how to act, while the
Mate, terrified at the prisoners coming below, began
to throw the arms overboard. Old MAINE, the in-
valid Master of the Orpheus, getting out of bed, was
told we should ail be put to 'death if any arms were
found below ; to %Lich he said—. Humph, if we
are to die, we may as well die on deck as below, and
so have a trial fs r our lives : follow me, my boys !'—
Their seizing his pistols and A cutlass, he sprung be-
fore us lip the ladder, around which the prisoners had
eroa dvd, like a skyrocket, when he received a nata-
l:et-shot, which shattered his right hand, and a blow
can the shoulder with a crow-bara also a sabre cut on
the back, and three other wounds, But irran instant
lie broke the circle routed the companion door, shot
one man dead, and hove another overboard in the act
of firing. He soon carried away all before him, and
made way for us to come up and join him, and the
struggle for victory was violent on both sides. The
cook of the Americans, a strong man, advanced to the
Master of the Benson, and lifting up his cleaver to
strike, he saw a pistol presented, when he dropt on
his knees arid cried for mercy. tour More of the pre•
soners now fell, and they began to run below. Eight
of them were wtainded, and one snore thrown over-
board. After which they were all routed, and we
gained possession of the ship and secured them. We
had six wounded, besides Mr. MAINE, whose right
arm was amputated. No language can do justice to
the cool and resolute courage of this old sailor.".
