Yesterday were received letters and papers from
Cadiz; to the 12th ult.` We are happy to state,
that the fever which afflicted that City has been over-
come, a4:11 that the partial appearance which it made
at Gibraltar has had no serious effect, and was in.,
deed almost entirely con fined to the transports in the
Bay.—The Council of Regency has directed, that
antis, inhabifants of Cadiz shall either assist in con.
spotting the fortifications on the shore, from the
latrenehtnent.ef San Fernando to the 'city, or altgit
pay Shea who perform tbt labour in their stead. '

.4 TPA PIIVORT Orrice, Leaden.
" Sta,—The Comtni•sioners of his Majesty's Trap:part
Board bave received your letter. dated the and they
have directed me to ihform you, that itls the detormirsatioa of
his Majesty's Government trot to semi back ?reeds Officers to
their Owe country, until the French Government have released
some Euglrh 011icen, in eichange far the great number of
French Officers, who have obtained this favour from the Sri-,
tish Government ; or until the French Government have coo•
vented in a (betel, upon the fair pthreiplo of wan for man. and
"rank fur rank, conformably to the cotenant usage of civilized
motions, which his Majesty's Ca ere- have frequently
proposed, though their efforts to uerekrate an exchange have
always been ineffectual. • •
" I am. however, toinferm you. that if the French Go-
vernment will send back to, England an Officer of your rank in
exchange for you, or even certify officially to kis Britannic
Majesty's Gominis,ioners, that, upon your arrival in France,
an English prisoner of your teak shall be releaied, you shall
instantly obtain year release.
" You mast see. that in the present stale of affairs, your
Government alone is the cause of your detenlion in this cm*
try; but if you think proper to make any represestatiOws to
your Government, you may rely upon it, that his Meisety's
Commissioners will faithfully transmit them.
I nm,
" Your very humble and obedient Servant,
" ALEX. WLEAY, Secretary."

Our Readers will bud in a subsequent column,
an Anecdote relative to the Mb Regiment, or the
Connaught Rangers. The Englishman who weeps
over that with joy and triumph, will not di!.
grace his manly cheeks. Rut, what is to be
said of those worse than barbarians, who not
only deny such heroes u these a boors that
will cost ihens nothing, but withhold their roost
unquestionable rights Oh,England, when wilt
thou be just to thyself JP In that Is included all
that Ireland demands 1

His MAJESTY, we understand, is not expected
in town till the latter end of this mouth, or the be-
'ginning of January.
Yesterday morning the (lolls and Priecess
ZAUZTM took an airing in a carriage by Maidenhead,
Taplow, &c. and returned to the Palace about two
o'clock ; they were accompanied by Ladles Ir.-
MESTER and CRANLEY. The Duke of CAR.

We are very sorry to learn that the Princess
MARY is not well enough to take an airing with the
QUEEN and the other PRINCESSES.
• The alteration that only one Bulletin in a day
should be issued on the state of his MAJESTY'S
,health, was made by Mr. ItTOER, as Secretary of
State for the dome Departuteut, when he was at
Windsor on Wednesday; he and the Earl of LIVER-
root, had upwards of an hour's conversation with
the Physicians upon the state of his MAJESTY.
It is reported, that a Pracimtsation fur the
prorogation of Parliament will be Walled a day or
two before the Meeting of the two Houses ; and
this expectation is grounded on the words that fell
from the 14021) CHANCKLLORiII debate, which were
'in substance, 44 that it was not necessary to put
the fact of the King's recovery .upon record—since
this transaction of public business was in itself a
proof of it—there being by the Constitution, a
Minister responsible for every act of hie MA.
