" His MAJESTY continues nearly in the same state
as during the last two days." (Signed as usual.)
The Minister v.-as left, last night in a minority
upon his Fifth Regency Resolution, respecting the
patronage of the King's Household.

We this day insert the anxiously expected speech
of the American President at the opening of Con-
' gress. It is a document of the utmost importance,
both in a political and commercial point of view.
We have also inserted some interesting extracts
from lifonitturs. CHADAPAGNY'S Report to NAPOLSON
on the state of the Empire is a curious production.
It can be regarded in no other light than as an indi-
rect attempt to open a negociation for Peace with this
country.
'We regret to state that the French Newspapers
contain a confirmation of the late disastrous intelli-
gence from the Isle of France, with the additional
circumstances that the small Island of Pm, which it
will be recollected was taken possesicon of by our sea-
men, had surrendered, and that the IputoritA frigate
had fallen into the hands of the enemy. A squadron
of six French frigates had put to sea from the Mauri-
tius, fully equipped for a. cruis in the Indian Seas.—
Their names are the Astrea, Manche, Minerva, Bel-
lona, Iphigenia, and Nereid.
The following letter reached us this morning c

1, GIBRALTAR, DEC. ►o, Ism.
" No instance of any new case of the fever has oc-
curred since the 4th, when the wife of Lieutenant
N►cots, the Agent of Transports, died of the disease.
All the family has been moved to the Lazaretto, on
the neutral ground, and every precaution taken to
purify the house.
ti The French are still besieging the Castle of
Marbella. The TOTAZE and two gun-brigs at anchor
off there keep up a constant fire, and have killed a il
number of the enemy. A detachment escorting be-
tween
forty. and fifty of their wounded men from
Marbella to Malaga, has been cut off to a man by
the peasantry, who never give any quarter. They
are plentifully supplied from hence with arms and
ammunition, of which they now make good use.
" DEC. 11.—A party of the enemy, consisting of
near 200 men, which were detached from Ronda to
Iguelaga, three days ago, have been surprised by the
peasantry, and every man put to death.
,4 The RZBCFF gun brig arrived from Cadiz this

morning.
DEC. It--The garrison continues perfectly
healthy."

" GIBRALTAR, NOVEMBER
44 There is not much news here at present ; a regi-
ment embarked last week to join Lord Wellington,
and all the nine and 12-pound carronades 'are to be
sent to Cadiz. We may expect to hear of warm work
there. The French have a great quantity of small
craft at Cadiz, notwithstanding the exertions of the
English to preven4it, which will annoy our shipping
very much. I am sorry to say, that our Toulon fleet
has been dismasted in a violent gale and has put into
Port Mahon to refit.—We hear nothing from the
Anterior of Spain ; end that which is reported hire
cannot be depended upon.".
, We are sorry to say that the Mtuorma is retorted
