The ship St. 4Mieltuel. captain Tomkins, ar
rived yesterday in Hampton Roads from
Liverpool (bound to Galtimore,) which place
she left the oath of january. Captain T.
brings no papers later than the 9th JANUARY,
He informs Us that the regency had not been
formed, but would be in q few days, when it
was supposed the orders in council would be
rescinded. BY our papers, received by the
St. Michael, we observe that the orders in coun-
Gil engage the public attention, in TO ordinary
degree. The King in bodily health was re-
covering, but his mental arrangement con-
tinued, and but little hope Of his recovery re-
manned.
Captain Speake, of the brig Ann, bound to
George Town, put into Hampton Roads, from
Lisbon, which place lie left the 18th of Jenaa-
~. He informs us that Massena was still at
Santerim, and had been reinforced with $4,000
men, drawn from different garrisons in Spain.
Lord Wellington occupied the position which
he had done for some weeks. Marshal Soult
had raised the seige of Cadiz, and was besieg-
ing Badajos, with the intent of passing by
St. Ubes, and getting on the side of the Tagus
opposite to Lisbon, with view to annoy the
British fleet. The combined army was about
10000 men of which about $4,000 were Brit
ish.
The position of Lord Wellington is consi-
dered as too formidable to be forced.
