THE RING.
The two last Bulletins from Windsor inform na that
his MAJESTY has at length enjoyed some hours of
sleep, and though this refreshment was obtained by
the means of Opiates, it has had the effect of loWering
the fever. We are happy to hear that it is the mental
disorder only which excites any apprehensions as to
his MAJESTY'S recovery. There is no decay whatever
of the constithtion, and his MAJESTY has borne up
with wonderful bodily strength against the violence
of his mental paroxysms. For a period of fifty-four
hours he neither closed his eyes, took any aliment, nor
for one instant ceased to talk with incoherence.
The following are the two last Bulletins :

" WINDSOR CASTLE, JULY 21.
. " His MAJESTY has had some sleep in the night,
land is upon the whole a little better. (Signed)
"M. BAILLIE, W. HEBERDEN, "R. WILLIS."

" WINDSOR CASTLES JULY 22.

ge The KING has had several hours sleep in the
course of the night. His MAJEtSTY is in the same state
this morning ss he was yesterday. (Signed)
" HALFORD, " SAILLIE, "WILLIS."

On Saturday the Dukes of YORK and CUMBERLAND
arrived at Wind" on a visit to her MAJESTI ' and
yesterday the PRINSE REciewr and the Duke of CLA
RENCK arrived, who, with the Dukes of CUMBERLAND,
SUSSEX, and CAMBRIDGE, remained when the express
came away. The Duke of YORK returned to town
on Saturday evening. Neither the QUEEN nor the
Princesses quitted the Castle yesterday, inconsequence
of the rain. The Archbishops of CANTERBURY and
YORK, the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Duke of MONT..
Hosp., Earls WINCHELSEA and AYLESFORD, and Sir
W. GRANT, Members of the Queen's Council, ar-
rived at the Queen's Lodge about twelve o'clock
on Saturday. The Doctors attending the KING
appeared before them, and underwent an. exami-
nation as to the state of his MAJESTY. Afterwards
they proceeded to the Castle, and held a Council with
the QUEEN, which sat a considerable time.—The
Duchess of BRUNSWICK, sister to his MAJESTY, re-
mains so ill, that her life is despaired of.

The AMELIA frigate arrived at Quebec on the 11th
of June, with a fleet from Portsmouth, and was ap-
pointed to sail on the 18th of that month, with a con-
voy for Great Britain. As a proof of the great in-
crease of the trade between this country and Canada,
174 vessels had arrived at Quebec this season, up to
the 13th June ; whereas, formerly, not more than 50
vessels arrived there during the year.

A gentleman, arrived at Ramsgate, from Ostend,
states, that previous to his departure, a camp had
been formed between Ostend and Dunkirk, at which
a division of 7000 men had already arrived. Another
camp was preparing between Calais and Boulogne,
for which 65,000 men were on their march. All the
gun-boats at Boulogne had been ordered to be put in
the best possible conditton, and new craft of the same
desciiption was preparing in the adjacent ports. The
Commandants and Mayors of the different towns on
the coast, had been instructed to provide accommo-
dations and rations for troops which may arrive in
their vicinity, before camp cantonments might be pre-
pared for their reception.
We have to notice a very gallant action which was
fought on the 13th of last April, between a French
privateer and a merchant ship named the Fortune, on
her way to Quebec. The engagement lasted nearly
two hours, wnen the privateer sheered off. The pri-
vateer mounted 16 guns with about 120 men. They
attempted to board the Fortune, and had actually
gained the jolly boat and part of the rigging, but
were repulsed with great loss in killed and drowned.
The Fortune had three men killed and two passengers
wounded. One of the crew who received a musket-
shot in his arm, acted with uncommon bravery.—
Although faint with the loss of blood, and desired to
leave the deck, he declared that as long as he had an
arm left he would fight for his liberty, and nobly kept
his post till the action was over. The privateer hailed
the Fortune several times, and told her crew that if
they did not strike, they should receive no quarter;
but this was answered in the truly British style, 01
firing a broadside immediately into her. The enemy
finding the courage of the Fortune not to be subdued,
sheered off, and gave up the contest, having sustained
considerable injury.
By the most recent advices from our squadron off
Flushing, under the command of that active and gal-
lant Officer Sir RICHARD STRACHAN, we learn that
the DEVIANCE, of 74 guns, Captain RAGGETT, was
sent in shore on the 4th instant, to cut out a French
line-of-battle ship, reported to be lying in the Rom-
pont, at Ter Gal, one cf the channels into Ter Veer,
between Walcheren and Schowen ; but, to the di:ap-
pointment and mortification of the officers and crew
of the Defiance, on their arrival off there, they learnt
that she had mad:: her escape the night before. The
enemy's force at Flushing ready for sea, consists of
13 sail of the line, S frigates, 25 brigs, &c. The
King of Holland, of 90 guns, got on shore a few days
since, coming through the Rompoot, and broke her
back.

The Fly, James H. Adams, master, from New 1 q
York to St. Petersburgh, laden with coffee, is detain-
ed and sent into Portsmouth by the Avery letter of 1
marque. On board the Fly is a seaman of the name
lof Andrew Ferrell, a native of Florida town, who
says, he was on board the American ship when she
engaged the Di-ma BELT; but he could not, if he
were put upon his oath, say which ship fired the first
shot. The Serjeant of Marines of the LITTLE BELT
is come home from Halifax, and is at the head-quar-
ters at Portsmouth : he says, the firing commenced
by the PRESIDENT was so sudden and unexpected, that
tithe LITTLE BELT was not ready to return it instanta-
neously. The Officers of the LITTLE BELT, we un-
derstand, have been examined by the four senior Cap-
tains of the Navy, at Halifax, for the purpose of indis-
putably ascertaining whether the first shot or broad-
side was fired by the PRESIDENT OT LITTLE BELT.
They all gave the same evidence, and fully supported
Capt. Broonmes public account of the transaction.
There has been no Court-Martial held on Capt. Boo-
' MAII, as stated in some of the papers. .
