The reports froth Windsor since Thursday., !the
been rather satisfactory. On that day it was under-
stood that his MAJESTY called for some refreshment,
since which period he has voluntarily taken suste-
nance, and his bodily health is now In such a state
that no apprehensions whatever are entertained of
any immediate danger. The following are the last
two Bulletins :

The Belliqueur, of GI. guns, which came home
last week as escort of the China fleet, brings intelli.
gence that the Dutch, after having destroyed all the
fortifications, had evacuated Batavia, and retired to
Marrack, a strong position in the Straits of Sunda.
Vice-Admiral Sir SAMUEL HOOD, K B. who is ap-
pointed Commander in Chief in the East Indies, will
take his departure from Portsmouth in the OWEN
OLENDovn frigate, Captain HODGSON.
We announced last week the arrival of the Chif-
tonne frigate, as the precursor of the China fleet,
since arrived safe in the River. After the Chiffonne
returned to Bombay, from her successful exp,,dition
to the Persian Gulf against the pirates, she sailed for
China. On her return, when proceeding through
the Straits of Malacca, she fell in with the wreck of
the Dutch prize corvette Mandatine, which vessel had
unfortunately grounded near Tree Island, and, the
weather proving boisterous during the night, she bil-
ged and sunk. The crew were all saved except one
Lascar. Lieutenant JEFFERIES, late of the Dover, I
who commanded the Mandarine, was found clinging'
to the bowsprit of the vessel in a situation of the most
imminent peril whence he was rescued by the boats
of the Chiffonne. Lieutenant GEoUGE CRICHTON, of
that ship, is deserving of ',articular commendation
for his alacrity and presence of mind in the execution
of this office of humanity. The Chiffonne landed
the survivors at Penang. The Mandarine was taken
at Amboyna, and was charged with Cap:. Twat:Ws
dispatches to Admiral DACRY, of the capture of Ter-
nate.
