The following Bulletin was :hewn yesterday at St.
James's Palace :
" WINDSOR CASTLE, JUNE 22, 1811.
" His MaxesTY continues as welt as he was last
week." (Signed) "H. UALFORD, M. SAILLIE.
"W. HESERDEN, It. WILLIS."
Lord RIVERS and General G•RDON came into
waiting yesterday, at St. James's Palace, as the Lord
and Groom of his MAJESTY'S Household for the en-
suing week.
Carlton House not being restored to its usual state,
in consequence of the arrangements for the late Fete,
and it being necessary that a Privy Council should be
held for general public business, his Royal/Highness
the PRINCE REGENT, on Saturday, went from Carlton
House, about three o'clock, in his carriage, to di.
Treasury Chambers, where his Royal Highness held
a Privy Council, which was attended by all the Mi."
nisters.—Upon this occasion the Council table was
covered with the crimson velvet, and the ancient
massy plate belonging to the Council Office.
His Royal Highness gave audiences to Mr. PERM.
VAL, the Marquis WELLESLEY, and Viscount Mu-
VILLE. At five o'clock the Council broke up, and
the PRINCE REGENT returned po Carlton House.
The reports of the splendid Fete given by the
PRINCE REGENT having strongly excitea the public
curiosity to see the princely mansion, his Royal High-
ness has been pleased to grant permission for it to be
shewn for a few days to those who are known to his
principal attendants, and their connections, by tickets.
On the entrance to Carlton House printed notices
were stuck up, by command of his Royal Highness,
forbidding from touching any thing. Sticks, para-
sols, and umbrellas, are forbidden admittance. 'she
premises are in the same state as at the time of the
tete. The yeomen of the guards, the livery servants
in their state liveries, and the pages in their state uni-
forms, attend to give it the same effect as at the time
of the fete. It is necessary to the general accommo-
dation of those who have tickets, that the visitors
should pass through the rooms with as little delay as
possible, otherwise much confusion may arise, and it
will be impossible to gratifyslr accommodate the whole.
Yesterday morning died, in Baker-street, Poitman-
square, Lady Viscountess Stnmocru.
Saturday evening the christening of Lerd ELY's
daughter took place. Her MAJESTY and the Princess
ELIZABETH stood sponsors by proxy. The Countess
of MACCLESFIELD and Lady ISABELLA THYNNE were

the proxies.
Onusiurn, after fluctuating in the course of the week
from Ito 1 discount, left off, on Saturday, at 14 dia.
Owing to the grftt difficulty experienced in funding
Exchequer Bills in the market, Government, we un-
derstand, have it in contemplation to raise the interest
from 3d. per day to 31J. ; for which purpoie, it is said,
the Commissioners for the disposal of them are to wait
upon the CHANCELLOR of the ExcIiEQUER in the,course
of this week. Large sums have been lately paid at the
Custom-house and Excise-office in Exchequer Bills, on
account of their being to be purchased at a discount.
On Saturday, however, they rose gradually; and, at
the close of the market, a few bargains were done at
par. Until very lately, they were issued by Govern-
ment at ss. premium.
Government have released five French Officers,
on the solicitation of Captain FLINDERS, R. N. the
Circumnavigator, in. consequence of their panieutaai
attention and kindness to him, whilst a prisoner in the
Isle of France. They will return to the Isle of Franey
in the Helen, which will sail in a few days with stores
for Madras.
An account has been received in town from China, ,
via America, stating that the first China fleet had left'
the second bar of Canton on the 29th of January, for
Macoa, whence it was to proceed to Europe on tb
Ist of February. It has been ascertained that neither
the Ocean, nor any tidings of her, had reached any
part of China, so that all hopes of the safety of that
ship must now be abandoned.
The following is an extract of a letter from, an 015-
eet on board the RALEIGH, in the Baltic, dated the
12th instant :—" Here we are, and here we are likely
to remain, cruizing off the black and inhospitable
shores of Norway. We have twice nearly caught the
Danish squadron of six large brigs, of 20 guns each.
We are now cruizing in company with the Betaarrre,
Catrizi.n, and LOIRE ; and should we have the good
fortune to cut them off from the land some day, you
will, I hope, receive a good account of them. Ever
since we have left England, we have experienced no-
thing but one continual gale, which has never ceased
for twelve hours together. This morning it was near
calm, now it blows hard, and heavy squalls. Sir
J. &tummies continues in Wingo Sound."

A marriage was celebrated last month at Paris, be-
tween a svine.merchant and a female, who, disguised
le male attire, had served in a regiment of hussars six
years, and during•that time given such proofs of valour,
that she had been raised from the ranks to A captaincy.
In a late action in Spain, she was wounded in the
breast, which led to a discovery of her sex, and she
was permitted to retire upon half pay.
When the Marquis and Marchioness of MITE were
tat Sicily, the health of her Ladyship being in a
I-very declining state, application was made to MURAT,
lik/F permission for her to try the air of Naples, which
had been particularly recommended. After some
lime, an answer was sent from Naples to Sicily, ad-
'dressed to Lord BUTS ; bet as that Nobleman bad
left the island, it was opened by Mr. DRUMMOND, our
Minister who, of course, conceived that it might re-1
„
late to matters of national importance. This ke•tter,
however, contained mcrely permission for Lady B. r
to visit Naples, and it concluded thus :
