SUNDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1811. ,4--. THE KING. The tulletins of this week represents his MAJES TY'S health as remaining in the same state. It is stated that Dr. John Willis, of Lincolnshire, has been again called upon to attend his Majesty. It is known that the King, after his recovery in 1801, exacted a solemn promise from the Queen, that in case of his ever being visited again by the same severe allliction, this Gentleman should not be called upon to prescribe for him. •I'his is to he accounted for from the anti prtthtes which often arise in the minds of TY•rsons under the im pression of this malady, the beginning of their convaleseence. They retain the recollection of the constraints laid upon them, and they are implacable in their eamity. We soy that this often tap;.ens, but we do not koow, that his 'Majesty's objection to Dr. Jrihn Willis was so strong, or that it had its origin in any re membrance of seve.rity which be had endured. But it .is cer tain, that in the beginning of the illness the Queen strenuously objected to the attendance of this Gentleman ; and even in the beginning of Augnst, when he was sent for and etyisulted, be only met the other Physicians at the house of Sir Henry Hal ford, and there he delivered his opinion very fzeely on the course of treatment wh:ch had been reso - ted to by the medical men, objecting to their practice of bleeding with leeches, of the use of opiates, and of not having sufficient recourse to lowering medicines. Now, after a further trial of near 3 months, he is again resorted to, bat we have not heardpat he is to have the care of the King's person. Dr. Symonds and Dr. Monro have also, been consulted. This has probably arisen from the difference of c2inion stated by the Queen's Council to exist among the Physi cians who have . been in att--ndance. TLe following has heel, pnblishcd as an outline of the Report of the Queen's Council, on their late periodic examination of Lis Majt•sty's Physicians, hel4 at Windsor, Saturday, Oct. .5, 1811 :••• 4 4 That the state of his Majesty's health, at the time of this meeting, is not such as to enable his Majesty to resume the rers .1 exercise of his Royal Authority; that his Majesty's bodily health does not appear to he much altered since the date of our last Rep , rt ; but that his Maieqy":: mental health does appear to be considerably worse than it wan at the time of our last Ri.port. From all the circumstances of tl.e • case, his Ma jesty's recovery is rel.resoltrd as very irriprohablz, by all the Pbysicisus in sttaiiiice upon Lis Majesty, excepting one, who still thinks it probable; but at the same time, looking to his Majesty's faculties, the remaining vigour of his constitution aM bodily health, a few of the medical persons in attendance re. present that they do not despair, and the majority of the Phy. sicians that they do not entirely despair of his Majesty's re covery." It is understood to be Dr. Heherden who differs from all the other Physicians in regard to the prospect of the King's re. covery. REPORTED DEFEAT OF TIE FIIENCH BY LORD WELLINGTON. The .late inactivity of the British and French Armies on the frontiers of Spain, has at length s according to every appearance, been followed by renewed operations of the greatest magnitude s attended, as usual, with the most glorious results to our arms. This intelligence has not hitherto been received in an official shape, but was brought to Liverpool by the b;ig Briton, Captain WARD, in five days, from Oporto. It states that MAR. MONT had attempted to relieve Ciudad Rodrigo on the 25th ult. in consequence of which a general action had taken place, which lasted two days, and terminated jet his retreating six leagues behind Ciudad Rodrigo, with a loss of • 20,000 in killed, wounded, sand prisciners.' The letters brought by the Briton, vdry in their statement of the rumour, and allude to the engagement of the 25th ult. as merely a severe skirmi,libetween the advanced posts of the two armies, but add, that a general action wa , 4 expec,ed on the 2711, the anniversay of the battle. of Busaco. The fallowing is one of the latest date : Oporto, Oct. I. " It is said, and believed, that a severe skirmish between the advanctd posts of the two armies took place on the 25th ult. in whicn we were repulsed; but the 9th and List Portuguese regimetlts coming out, the enemy was obliged to retreat ; and report goes further, tillt we retook son:e pieces offlying artilltsy which we had lost. general engagewent was expected ric4i. day, on the !7th. we therefore expected hourly the account. The militia here :n-e :ill ready to march should it be necessary." Some doubts, however, are entertained of the truth of thi3 account, as, according to report, Cap. tain CooK, of the Guards, who is arrived, had seen the bul:ctins of the army up to the 2Gth nit. inclusive, which mentioned nothing of any skirmish or battle ; but it is supposed there may be error in the date, and that Captain COOK saw no later bulletin than that of the 22d.. A Gentleman of the name of WELCH, or WALsti, who came a passenger in the Briton, and only went on board that ship on the 2d inst. or one day after the above letter WAS wiitten, and therefore must have had later information, corroborates its con tents, as will he seen by the following extract from GortF.'s General Advertiser, a Liverpool Paper, re• ceived yesterday " Liverpool, Oct, 10. gg DEFEAT OF THE FnENct7.--The Briton, WARD, from Oporto, arrive) at this port on Tuesday last, 646 M.
