WINDSOR CAVELL, APRIL S.
ig His MAJESTY continues to go on well.
" W. DEBERDEN, 111. ISAILLIL"
It has been reported within these few days that Wel
MAJESTY IS somewhat indisposed. We regret to ack
that the nature of the disease is Palsy.

The Essex American frigate sailed from Cowes for
France on Monday. She is to make the port of Cher.
bourg, where she is to wait for dispatches from ,the
American Charge d'Affaires at Paris, and on receiv-
ing which she is to return to the Isle of Wight, *hi-
ther Mr. Postrnev will proceed (.n or about :he Bth or
10th instant. The statement of his haVinggiven orders
for his property to be unpacked, with the view of re.
maining here some time longer, is wholly without
foundation.
Three cartels arrived at Plymouth on Sunday front
Morlaix. One of them has brought bonye five ladies,
who had been eight years detained in France. Mrs.
Bolen (the Lady of Mr. Boyd, of the house of Boyd,
Benfield, and Co.) is also arrived. The only intelli-
gence that has transpired is, that the French Govern-
ment has desistes from granting any more licences.
ARMY.—Yesterday morning 600 of the ;',cl batta-
lion of the Ist Regiment of Guards, under Colonel
Com!, marched from Portman-street Barracks, in
high spirits and complete military, ostume and equip
ment, for embarkation at Portsmouth, whence they
will proceed with all possible expedition to reinforce
the garrison of Cadiz.
Sir RICHARD PHILLIPS'S expected Work on the Jury
System will appear to-morrow, and we understand
it discusses at length the agitated questions relative
to Legislative Commitments, Informations ex efrio,
Libel Law, New Trials, National Education, Banish•
ments for Misdemeanours, and Capital Punishments.
General GASCOYNE has recently given two notices
of Motions in the House of Commons, in which there
appears to be a great disparity. if we understand the
General correctly, on the Bth ulttimo, he gave notice
of a motion for Tuesday the 26th, for a Committee
to take into consideration the present pay of the Br-
' tish Officers. On the 21st the General postponed un-
til to-morrow the 4th instant, the motion which -stood
' for the 26th ult. relative to " Mess Allowances, to be
granted to the Officers of the Army." Now, it does
not appear to us that the General's first notice alluded
to Mess Allowances, but was founded on the broad
basis of an " Enquiry into the present state of the
• Pay of the British Officers." Thus then there is a
great and discouraging disparity, between the first and
second notice given by General GascovNe : this will
be the more striking when it is recollected that the es-
timates for the year 1810 included the Allowance for
Messes at the rate of re2oo for each regiment; and
the subject cannot therefore be in any way connected.
with General Gascortra'a motion, as is evident from
the allowances being carried back to December 1809,
which was of course long anterior to his noticei.
General GASCOYNE now occupies a high and corn.
manding situation in the eyes of his brother officers,
who look with eager confidence to his exertions in
their cause. They look to him for relief from a blind
and indiscriminate system of Taxation which weighs
most heavily upon the Naval and Military servants
of the State. We trust that General GASCOYNIC and
his able coadjutor Colonel GREY, to whose excellent 1
Pamphlet on the subject we have more than once had
occasion to call the attention of our readers, will ne-
ver depart from their purpose until they have obtain-
ed their desirable end. The advocates for the Abo-
lition of the Slave Trade were at one time nearly as
few in number, and yet, by zeal and perseverance,
they ultimately attained their object. May the friends
of the army be on this occasion equally successful
with the friends of humanity!
This atoning two Portuguese sailors were exe-
cuted in front of Newgate for cutting and maiming
an Englishman in an affray at Wapping. foretk
Blair, Who was also ordered for execution this morn-
ing, for forgery, has received a respite for seven days.
MARK-LANE.—We have not many fresh arrivals
of Wheat to-day, but tolerable supplies on hand,
chiefly second and inferior, which have very few boy.

:Iron supply, and with Malt fully supports last prices.
Peas and Beans of each kind vary but little, not many
of the latter—The quantities of Oats on hand are
again somewhat considerable, and this trade quoted •
nearly at the late reduction—Flour this week is lower
full 55. per sack.
