NOVEMBER I.—The ceremony. of the presentation
of his Royal Highness the Hereditary Prince took
place this day with-the greatest solemnity, in presence
of the assembled Members of; the Diet. His Royal
Highness pronounced the following address:
SIRE—In appearing this day before the throne of
your Majesty, surrounded by the States-General of
the realm, my first duty, as it is the first wish of my
heart, is to lay a; your feet the public homage cf the
sacred and inviolable sentiments which, for life, attach
me to your Majesty. .I pay this homage ti. my king,
Sire; but I also pay it to the person of a prinfe who,
long before he mounted the throne, had acquired, by
his_ virtues; the Confidence and love of theirationiSor
In difficult circumstances, the State has always had
recourse to your Majesty ; twice the throne was va—
cant, and twice your Majesty performed the painful
:dirties of royalty, without any other interest but that
'of the public w 44. But all at once broke forth one'
of illOse revolutions which HEAVEN appears sometimes
to permit, as a leSion to princes ; and the nation con-
jured your Majesty to place yourself on that very
throne which you had so long defended.
" I could never have foreseen that I should one
day be asociated to destinies so glorious. and that
your Majesty, after having deigned to fix upon, lie
the suffrages of your people, would at last crown so
: many favours, by adopting me for your son. A 'title
so dear fills my soul with an ambition the most noble!
: What am I not bound to do to merit, to support that
1 illustrious name which your Majesty has this day be-
istowed upon me ! It is not without great distrust of
my own powers that I have accepted a task at once
so honourable and so difficult. If I have been able
to resolve upon it, it was only from 'thinking that I
should follow in every thing the counsels of your Ma-
jesty, and that near you I should be instructed in the
great art of reigning. GOD grant, Sire, that I may
longer:loY your lessons. GOD grant that the youthful
• mind my son may be modelled after your's, and
be penetrated with the . great examples which your
Majesty presents to' his descendants.
• " Messieurs the Deputies of the Nobility, called
to be the first Defender of the Throne and of the State,
I trust that you will second me in that noble office.
Yon know, Gentlemen, that primitive nobility was
the reward of great services performed to the country:
! and what obligations are not they under to the State
1 whO enjoy by birth the rewards merited by their an-
I restora ? The sacrifice of their life. on every occasion, ,
is *least of their duties--; it is only by giving an ex- !
ample of perfect dishttereatedhiss, tip' an entire sub-
l' mission .to the King And to the laws; it is only, in
Ishort; 4 living without remach, that the nobility
of your ancestors is really to be preserved.

Dispatches were this day received by Govern:Stilt
from Cadiz, dated the 16th instant, but, with the ex-
ception 9f the intelligence that the contagious fever
had nearly abated, they contain nothing of impor-
tance.

The following letter from Oporto received in town
this morning, seems to speak cr: the surrender of Al-
meida to the Portuguese, as not very distant :

" OPORTO, NOVEMBER 2.

cc On the 28th ult. Silveint was very near Almeida ;
the heavy rains will probably prevent him from at-
tacking till to-day. The militia are in the neighbour-
hood of Coimbra. Mortier is reported to have joined
Massena.

" Three thousand militia, and the 13th and r2d
Portuguese regiments are on the banks of Zezere, to
defend its passage.'"

1 This morning we received Gibraltar News-papers
And private letters to the 9th instants •-4- gives us
great pleasure to be able to state that the' lever which
'lately broke out in that Garrison is nearlYilibctued.
,As every information respecting this malady is highly
iisteresting, we have inserted various extra s from*the
Gibraltar Chronicle as well as from our private letter.

" Sta—After carefullyobserving the symptoms and
,progress of the fever that lately raged here, and com-
paring it with the accounts of the malignant yellow
fever that prevails in the West Indies, I am clearly of
opinion,that it is exactly the same disease. In its symp-
toms and character, it almost accurately corresponded
with the description of that disease given by Moseley
on West India Diseases. In the first or inflammatory
stage, the most remakable and frequent symptoms
were, a very severe pain in the fore part of the head,
sometimes shooting to the hind part ; eyes red ; face
flushed and turgid ; pulse frequent, full and strong ;
skin very kot : these symptoms generally preceded
'by and attended with costjveness.—l have not seen
any pain or uneasiness of the stomach at this period.
After two or three days, these symptoms are all much
abated, and there is apparent relief ; but it is soon
followed by more distressing and unmanageable ones.
There comes oa a sense of uneasiness, and sometimes
very smart pain, at the pit of the stomach, soon at-
tended with a vomiting at first of the usual contents.

.g From all the information I have been able to ob.
taro from the Spanish practitioners of eminence here,
from the documents which have been presented to me
by the Junta, and from my own personal obervatios
in the public hi.spital of this city, I cannot doubt the
existence of a disease of a dangeroui nature in certaisi
parts of this town.
44 I have this night recommended to the Board,
that, as the danger to be apprehended from the dis.
ease spreading, arises from the number of persons col
lected together in close and ill aired apartments, the
utmost vigilance and authority must be used to sepa.
rate the sick immediately, where it can be done, and
to retriove them to the public Hospital.
" I have great satisfaction in mentioning, that, in
my Report to Lieutenant General GRAHAM, I have
stated, that no case of the prevailing fever has ap•
peared in lhe Military Hospitals, nor in any corps tut.
