n Windsor Castle, Oct, 90" The KING has
continued nearly in the same state through
out the week" Signed as usual.
Governments, we understand, have come to
determination not to grant any mere licences
for the expectation of bullion.
We regret to learn, by the most recent
communications from Windsor, that no I'M
proyemcnt has taken place In his maJestys
COMPLAINT. Two dispatches have been re-
ceived at York House, the one at 10 O'clock
last night, ard the other at 9 this morning.
They agree in stating, that his Majesty was
not worse than yesterday morning, out that
he had NOT left his room the whole OF the day.
we understand that his indispositlon has va
ried considerably during the last week. On
Monday and Tuesday he was worse than ne

last three or four days, he recovered suthclent

The AnhoIt mail which reached town last
night, affords an additional proof OF Bona
parties extreme earnestness TO restore 'no pa
I'll a.,,bli> of France, and to call, by all
rr.s;,,,c means, into active service, his line of
battle ships which at present, destitute OF able
and experienced seamen, the soul and lie
blood of wartime enterprise, serve merely,
in their respective ports and roads, Tor the
nurpose of idle show and ridiculous ostenta-
ton. The decree to which we ailude has
been issued at Hamburger, and is so very
comprehensive in its operation, as to embrace
every individual in any way capable OF contri-
buting to the manning and equipment OF his
fleets. All the inhabitants OF the Hanseatlc
towns, vino have sailed in armed or merchant
vessels, and who have been employed in the
fisheries, or on the coasts, rivers, and canals,
of the departments, are, by this decree placed
upon the new naval CONSUMPTION, and compel
led 70 present themselves and make immedi-
ate tender OF their services All descriptions
of men, from the age of eighteen to that OF
Fifty, are forced TO obey the reqnlslton; and
we might have some reason to aPprehend the
effects of a measure so very general and CO.
erciye throughout country Astounding in eX-
celept and hardy mariners, were we not con-
vinced that while Bcnaparte can, BY mere
force and terror man his vessels with them,
he will be unable to infuse into their hearts
that malicnity and hatred which he entertains
for every thing that is English. They can ne
yer Danish from their minds the recollection
oftheir former opulence and happiness, the
humiliation of their independence and trade,
sssd, the deplorable effects OF a tyranny unex-
af,pled in the history of mankind.
The Anholt mail supplies us with some
further accounts respecting military operations
between the Russians and the Turks. The
latter, have certainly crossed the Danube near
Widen. 1t appears, however, that in two
engagements, fought on the Odd of July, and
she Sd of August, the Turks were repulsed
with considerable loss.
Some accounts were received on Saturday
from Jersey and Guernsey of the f2th. The
svn.ctation. of invasion seem to have subsid
ed: but every necessary precausion was still
taken.
