Captain Harris, who arrived yester-
day from Ltith, f.vor-d Us with pa
IS TO February Is, containing Lon
news to the 18th.
he Prince of Wales was establish
S Regent on the 6th, and com nu-
nS0Sted his message to parliament on
the 18th. The speedy recovery of the
King was confidently expected, ard it
was therefore determined to be inexpe-
dent to make any change in the mia-
isiry.
Tae Orders in Council had not been
repealed; but fresh instructions had
been given to the Court not to con-
denim under them; and we learn, YER.
bslly, that MIR Pinkney, being about
to embark fos America, Lord Welles-
ley requested him 10 remain few
days longer, as he had an important
note to address to BIN.
The intelligence from Cadiz and
! Lisbon, is not so late as we possess.
lie mentions, however, that Massena
had been reinforced, and that the
French had been successful 10 some
sa,all affairs in the North Of Portu-
gal.
Hostili,ies have been renewed be-
tween the Russians and the Turks.
Accounts in England from Ham
burgh were TO Jan. 10, from Gotten
burgh to the 26th, and from H ligo-
land to Feb. 8.
Parliament was opened by commits
sion from the Prince of Wales on
the 18th of Feb. and the speech deli
verea by the commissioners. His
royal highness hopes that he shall be
enabled to afford to Spain and Porru-
gal a Continuance ofthat support which
their energy appears to deserve he
compliments Lord wellington and his
army he remarks that the captures
OF Bourbon and Java,* have still les.
sened the enemy's colonies He states
that the revenue has been more pro.
ductive than ever. With regard to
America the speech stares that II. II.
will be very happy if he shall be able
to bring the negotiation to favorable
conclusion, always regarding what is
due to the rights and interests of his
Majesty's dominions.
In the commons, Mr. Mines, who
moved to address an answer to the
speech, expressed his opinion, that
the vascillating conduct of France to-
wards America would tend To bring
to a favorable conclusion the negocia-
ton between that country and Eng
Land.
ss Regentiu his speech says no.
thing respecting peace.
