The KING's HEALTH. Windsor, Sunday
Erening, June 20. Since Friday night, his
Majesty has again gradually relapsed into
state little better than that from which he
rallied SO wonderfully last week. He has
been much disturbed these last twenty-four
hours by new symptom-a very trouble
some cough, which has produced great rest
lessness, and, consequently, an unfavorable
change IN every other respect. This after
noon he is a little better-or, rather, he is
more composed than he was in the early
part of the day, and hopes are entertained
by his attendants that he may again rally
though certainly, those hopes rest on very
slight foundation. Yesterday the Duke of
Wellington had an audience of his Majesty,
when the Royal signature was affixed, by
his Majesty's assent, to number of State
papers. The King appeared much fatigued
with this business and was much more
restless subsequently than he had been be-
fore.
Prince Frederick William Louis of Prus-
STA is candidate for the crown Of Greece,
resigned before twas won," by another
Prince: but it is not so clear that success
will crown his wishes, though the thing is
not impossible. His pretentions are, we
believe, advocated by France; but not, as
yet, at least, sanctioned by ourselves; or,
SO far as we know, by Russia.

DESPATCH OF ADMIRAL DUPERRE.
On board Of the Provence, to leelDard Of Ma

The feet which left the Bay of Toulon
on the 25th of last month, just at the first
setting in of west-north, westerly wind,
was composed of rs men of war. One of
the divisions of the convoy which accompa-
MED it amounted to 55 vessels. The fleet
was sailing in good order, when it was as
sailed during the night of the 9th, by a
very sharp gale, blowing E. S. E. off Minor
ca and Majorca. | conducted it to the lee
ward of the islands, where it found shelter.
The weather had become fine again. After
having re-asSemhed the army and the con-
voy, and provided. for the departure of the

bay OF Palma, where it was at anchor, d.

BOZ at very short distance from the shore
In the morning (30th ult.1 the coast appear
cd cloudy, the wind increased gradually,
every thing announced bad weather. We
found it impossible to sail in good order in
company with SO many vessels of different
kinds and sizes, neither could we keep un-
der the meridian of Algiers. Three DAYS
of strong wind, blowing E. s. E. obliged
US to give up all hopes of coming again near
the coast of Algiers. The only resource
left was to join the reserve and the CONVOY
IN the Bay of Palma, and to shelter the fleet
near the islands, in expectation of the re-
turn OF fine weather, and the joining of the
conveys. The convoy which left Toulon on
the 9Th, and was to join the army on the
coast OF Africa, was dispersed at ita very

wind. succeeded in joining several yes

Other official accounts mention the safe
arrival of the whole feet in the Bay of Pal

remained wlnd-bound in the Bay for sever
al days, and had four days passage.

the 10Th June the naval armament left
Palma and on the 18th presented itself be-
fore the African coast, but was a second
time compelled by the winds to stand out
to sea. On the 18th it appeared before
Aigiers, and after having passed along the
forts and batteries came to in the bay of
Zorro Chica. The enemy had abandoned
the fort in that bay, and the battery on the
point, but had placed the mortars and
cannon which had been mounted in them on
