THE KING.

The following is a copy of the Bulletin issued this day:
" WINDSOR CASTLE, JULY 26.
" His MAJESTY continues nearly in the same state.
( Signed )
" H. HALFORD, W. HEBERDEN, R. WILLIS."

The private accounts from Windsor state, that in
the course of Tuesday night his MAJESTY had about
ve hours sleep at different inter►als, but unhappily
derived no perceptible benefit from it, for on Wed.
itesday, as the Bulletin stated, he continued in the
fame unfavourable state as on the several preceding '
days. The paroxysms, it is true, have not of late
been of so violent a nature, but the exercise of the
utmost skill of the medical attendants has nevertheless
been necessary to preserve temporary quiet. Happily,
however, his MAJESTY'S life is not considered in im.
anediate danger.

A letter from Harwich notices the arrival of some
Russian Offictrs of distinction by the last packet from
Anholt, and an opinion prevails in some circles that
there is an approaching arrangement on foot between
this country and Russia. We have not been able to
learn, however, that the foreigners above alluded to
are charged with any diplomatic mission, although
it is reported that extensive shipments of arms and
ammunition for St. Petersburgh are going on at
Woolwich.

A letter from Gottenborg, dated the 14th instant,
states that a Russ;An Officer of rank had arrived, and
%vas proceeding to embark on board the packet ; and
another, of the 15th, asserts that he is the bearer of
dispatches from Petersburgh to this Country.
Letters from Petersburgh, received yesterday, state
that ROMAN3OFir Must be removed, and that a peace
with the Sublime Porte must be concluded before
ALEXANDER could enter upon a war with Franee.--
These two events in the letters alluded to, which reach
to the 29th Jun:, are said to be highly probable, and
in one of them it is alleged that they are in rapid pro.
gress. W. have also a letter from Riga, of the 29th
June, in which it is represented, that serious alarm is
felt in that place, under the conviction of its inability
to defend itself against any sudden hostile attack.

Letters from the River Plate, to the 25th of April,
were received yesterday. They do not refer to any
particular acts of hostility which had taken place be-
tween the Governments of Monte Video and Buenos
Ayres; but state in general terms, that the greatest
animosity prevailed between them, and was likely to
• occasion a great deal of bloodshed.
A ship has arrived from Bilboa which sailed from
thence as late as the 12th inst. By this opportunity,
we learn that no part of that province had been then
evacuated by the enemy, as was reported. The garri-
son of the port wes very small, nor had any reinforce-
ments reached any part of Biscay.
General Rouquet had applied to Marshal Bessie-
res for reinforcements ; declaring that unless he re-
ceived them, he could not answer for the preservation
of the province. A similar application was made to
the Commanding Officer at Vittoria. In the three
districts of which Biscay is composed, there were only
3,500 of the enemy. •
From Valladolid we hear that General Oble was
proceeding to France with 500 wounded, escorted by
1000 rnea. Within three days the following had taken
tl e same direction ; 6 Generals, 32 Colonels and
Lieutenant-Colonels, 44 inferior officers, and in the
whole, wounded and able-bodied, 2918 soldiers.
It is stated, that on the 9th of June the British army
in Portugal amounted to 50,000 men. Of this num-
ber, it is said, there are 30,000 rank and file actually
fit for duty ; 7000 wounded, but doing well, and
likely soon to be able to return to their duty ; and
£OOO sick, no extraordinary number, it is added, at
the present moment, when the unhealthy season has
already set in. The remainder are employed in de-
tachments, the garrison of Lisbon, and other duties.
There were 7000 men at Cadiz ; the reinforcements,
including those already arrived, on their way, em-
barking, or under orders, amount to no less than
13,000. In a vet y short time, Lord 'WELLINGTON
Will have fourteen regiments of cavalry, amouting to
between 5000 and 6000 rank and file.
It is said, in some accounts, that General BLAKE is
rot to return to Cadiz on embarking at Ayamonte,
but to proceed to Tariffs, near Gibraltar, whence he
is to undertake a new expedition against the enemy.
Other accounts, however, state, that he had actually
arrived at Cadiz. The first corps of BLAKE'S army
under Don CARLOS ESTANHA, had sailed from Aya-
monte. It is said, in some of the Papers, that BLAKE
received a check in the Condado de Niebla, which
prevented him from advancing to attack Seville. We
hope this isnot true. It does not appear that he ever
approached Seville, his route by Juramante, Mertola,
and Castellegos to Ayamonte, being close along the
course of the Guadiana.
The Janta of Tarragona have escaped to the cele-
brated Monastery of Montserrat, the fortifications of
which are impregnable, and it is said that i very large

pt
proportion of the garrison had also escaped.
Private letters from Lord WELLINGTON'S army,
speak of groat preparations making for Plays, Balls.
or se - ract ng, and various kinds of amusements, which
would scarcely be the case if apy active operatious
sure mos expected.
