pest of our worthy tubjetts, that they will, from purd
zeal for the welfare of their native country, in which
their own is included, voluntarily accede to our
paternal view, and carefully lessen the use of all fo-
reign articles of luxury.
It is likewise our will and pleasure that as having
leant from experience in divers instances, that our
prohibitions issued at sundry times against the smug-
gling trade are frequently broken, We have again to
warn our worthy subjects against all offences of this
nature, and to require a more strict attention to
the Royal ordinance of the 6th of April, 1799,
and to our gracious proclamation of the 80th of
November of last year, concerning taking off the In-
land duties, and we likewise, herewith, direct and
command all our official persons, high and low, whose
place it is to execute this their duty with upright zeal
and unwearied watchfulness, whereafter every one
whose concern it is have to act in conformity herewith.
In the illness of my Gracious Lord and King,
and by his command: ig CARL JOHANN.

THE KING.

We darn with satisfaction that his MAJESTY'S usual
good appetite is completely restored ; but we are now
given to understand, that this circumstance is likely
to occasion a recurrence of his paroxysms, which will
of course again give rise to the most painful appre-
hensions. We trust, however, that his MAJESTY'S
present tranquil state will be of long continuance.
The followag is the Bull tin of this day :
WINDSOR CASTLE, AUGUST 17.
44 His MAJESTY continues altogether in the same
state that he has dine for some time past.

Sunday ti. L. )rd Chief Baron of IRELAND em-
bark?,t at D,.a.-r.natiee, for Portpatrick, on his way
to London.
Mr. W. Born', a lyTmer candidate for the repre-
sentation of Wiacisor, has commenced a canvass for
that bor nigh.
Mr. STANIFORTH, Member for Hull, arrived there

Mr. D. W. Ilaavey, has declared himself a can-
didate for the borough of Colchester.
The election for an Irish Representative Peer, in !
the. room of the late Lord Loners:emu, closes to-'.
morrow, being the 52d front the he!! of the writs
which, by the Act of Uoion, have that time allowed
to run, when Lord GOSFORD will be declared elected, '
in opposition to Lord LEITRIM, for whose success the
PRINCE REGENT was supposed to have declared his
good wishes. The numbers will be about 42 and 32,
but this difference will easily be accounted for, when I
the circumstances of the contest are explained.
Dispatches from the Government of Venzuela, in
Carraecas, have been received, adverting in the most ,
favourable terms ta the progress of the Revolution, '
and to the complete establishment of the Legislative,
Judicial and executive authorities. It is mentioned,
that the union of the several provinces became daily
snore intimate, and that a perfectly good underitand-
ing prevailed with the viceroyalty of Santa-F6, where
the example of Caraccas had been imitated as to the
form of its Government, including all its dependent
districts, and with them the territory of Popayan.—
This latter at first opposed the new system from the
influence of the Spaniards, who, in the sequel, were
obliged to seek safety in flight.-
Letters have been received in town from our army
in Po algal, but not of a later date than those brought
my the last Mail Ti:ey were brought by one of the
returned transports which have Arrived at Plymouth,
and state, that there was a great increase in the list of
sick, in consequence of die i.ifluence of the weather,
and the fatigues of the campaign ; but the allies were
reported as being far superior ;ti respect both of eealth
and supulies to the enemy. Lord WELLINGTON. it is
said, ha; written for reinforcements, which, we under-
stand out not be limited to the replacing of the loss
which has been sustained by our army, but will form
a great augmentation to its original strength.
Some letters received from Cadiz within these few
days, sail allude to the prevalence of a factious, or
rather treasonable spirit, within the walls: They also
state, that King JOSEPH has no regal authority what-
ever. He is completely under the controul of the
Generals who command the French armies in Spain.
The contributions are levied throughout the country
with unrelenting 'severity, and the Irequent applica-
tion; of JOSEPH to alleviate the eppression have been
treated with neglect, if not with insult.
Through the same channel we learn that the quar-
tets between NAPOLEON and his unfortunate brother
were accompanied with so much acrimony on the one
hand, and importunity on the other, that at last the for-
mer insisted that Spain should never be mentioned to
him. JOSEPH, it is said, broadly proposed that the
French armies should be withdrawn to the north of
the Ebro, and that from thence the Emperor should
ceat with the Regency of Cadiz as to the future des-
tely of the kingdom.
From Malaga we learn that the privateer Sebes-
tiani carried into that port the ship St. Joachim,
b.,und to Cadiz, with a Fargo of wheat; and the pri•
vateer Napoleon had rent into the same harbour twc.
a,:.litional prizes, both also destined NI Cadiz; the
laden with wine, brandy, and pepper, the other

Li the late alums, srdered to be made by Govern-
Ire it. it appears, that Edinburgh, with its port of
Leith, coiltans 105,000 inhabitants, being an increase
from i..t: late Census (1801) of 19,000 souls. Its rival
is beauty and riches, the City of Glasgow, exceeds it
aft numbers a few hundreds. The population of Car-
lisle is 11,645, Wit an increase of 2124 since 1801.
