No notice of arrivals from Lisbon, Cadiz, or any
other part of the Peninsula, hats been received by the
Mails of this morning.

His MAJESTY " continues to go en well," and we
hope very soon to have the happiness of announcing
his perfect recovery.

Yesterday his MAJESTY walked on Windsor Ter-
race, accompanied by Drs.WlLLis and BAILLIE, from
twelve till one o'clock, and from two till four, accom-
panied by General MANNERS.
The QUEEN and Princesses ELIZABETH and MARY
took an airing to Frogmore Lodge, and walked hi the
Garden, and returned to the Castle at two.
The Royal Mary yatcbt, lying at Deptford, has
undergone an examination, in case of his MAJESTY
going to Weymouth, to attend him there.
A Cartel arrived' yesterday from Morlaix. At the
time of its departure it was understood that the Em-
bargo was still continued in all the French ports of
the Channel.

--- -
Mr. PERCEVAL, when the Reporters were out of the
House on Tuesday night, gave notice, that he would this
day move that the House should give notice to the East
India Company of the expiration of their Charter.
The Petition intended to be presented to the House
of Commons, by the Manufacturers in Glasgow and
its neighbourhood, contains the following melancholy
representation :
Of 9,560 looms, in Glasgow and its immediate
vicinity, 3,889 were empty on the Bth of February
last. In the four following weeks there must have
been 500 more idle ;in all, 4389. The manufactur-
ing towns and villages in the country were still more
deficient of employment : of 825 looms in Hamilton,
365 were idle at the same period. The followingl
statement may be relied on as correct :
Looms. Idle. Looms. Idle.
Girvan - 500 400 Stevenston 105 ES
Airdrie - 700 400 Castle Douglas 80 78
Stonhouse 60 59 Langholnz 150 105,
Kilmarnock 300 460
t, Other places are in proportion ; so that the idle
looms, in the West of Scotland, are taken below the
truth, when stated at fifteen thousand. It is well known,
that every loom laid idle turns another person out of
the employment of winding, serving, ornamenting,
&c. ; which, when taken into the account, swells the
list of idle persons to thirty thousand."
General GRAHAM will shortly be raised to the
Peerage, by the title of Lord Viscount BALGOWAM,
Baron BA RROSA.
Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East
India House, when Lieutenant-General Sir GEORGE
NUGENT, Bart. was sworn into the Command of the
Company's Forces in India, and a Member of the ,
Council at Fort William, in Bengal ; the General '
afterwards dined with the Directors at the London
Tavern.—The undermentioned Commanders took
leave previous to proceeding to their respective des-
tinations, viz.
Captain BaJzott, of the Surrey, for Bengal.
Captain KITAILR, of the Lord Castlereagh, for ditto.
Captain JONES, of the Walthamstow, for ditto.
Capt. RICHARDSON of the Dover Castle, for Ceylon and Bengal.
Captain BARBER, of the Moffatt, for Bombay.
The Duke of Bucciatuott, his Majesty's Lieutenant
for the county of Edinburgh, has appointed the Right
HonourableWlt.t.lAM Earl of ANCRAM to be Colonel
of the Edinburgh regiment of militia, vice his Grace,
who has resigned • and
Sir GRORDE CLIR t, of Pennyenick, Bart.
Sir lons Hors of Craighall, Bart.
FRANCIS WALKER, Esq. jun. of Dairy,
to be Deputy Lieutenants for said county.
. The Leicester Militia is not incomplete, as stated
by mistake in a former STAR. On the 18th of Octo-
ber last the Regiment was 36 men above its comple-
ment.
The 2d Lancashire regiment of militia have taken
the prison duty. at Dartmoor.
The French prisoners lately brought from Penni-
cuick, and confined in Edinburgh Castle, were last
week marched in two divisions for Greenliw.
Upwards of 120 of the French Officers who arrived
at Leith in the Romulus, have been sent to Selkirk
and its neighbourhood, where they are to be quartered
on their parole. The remainder will go to Fife.
Some letters have been received from Riga, repeat-
ing the rumours of approaching hostilities between
Russia and trance. In addition to the columns be-
fore mentioned to have proceeded to the Polish fron-
tier, others, we are told, have taken the direction of
Courland, with the view of protecting that side of the
country.
A strong persuasion prevails that a Russian Mes-
seager has arrived with important dispatches from St.
Petersburgh, but we cannot vouch for the accuracy of
the conjecture.
