Major-General Goss; DIR has been appointed Com mander-in-Chiel of the army at Fort St. George. rive transprats have arrived in the Downs from Aberdeen, having on board the 94. th Regiment, on • their voya,c,,e to Jersey. _ . The 14t1), .;Ist, and n'd regiments, part of Gene. ral ficit:sTox's brigade, in transports, arrived at Portsmouth on Saturday morning from the Scheldt. The 11th will begin to disembark this day, and march to Steyning ; the nd to Lewes ; and the .51st to it.wham. A drau.;lit of 900 men, of the :3d Regiment of Glards, commanded b:: Colonel Sir W. Guise, marched into Po.rtsmouth on Wednesday last, and embarked for Portugal. Part of the sick of the army from Walcheren, amounting to nearly 700 men, were disembarked on Saturday, and sent to the different hospitals in Ports. notali and :he neighbourhood. The disembarkation. was under the superintendence of Dcctor VEasritom, • Stt; - geon-Gmeral of the I{inp,'s German Legion, for which purpose he has been several days waiting at Portnnouth. Amongst the spectators of this truly e:3trosing scene were Lord COCHRANE, and his bro • the: - . Colonel COCHRANE, who commanded the regi ment ef deta4ments which was formed in the Isle of ri , b itt, expressly for the late expedition. Several Of,iaers air sick at Portsmouth, and those who wish' aie to be provided with most comfortable sick quar ters in the Royal Naval Hospital. The remainder of tl:t sick are to be landed to-morrow. The 82d ap pears to have suffered most. .The Herald, RonissoN, and the Soken, ItlritErt, hoc arrived at Yarmouth from Flushing, with stores, and p:ut of the sick . of the 4th, Bth, t2t)th, 28th, and 630 t Regirnents of Infantry, who have been landed and Lent to the hospitals. The troops landed at Yar mouth imp) we daily, every attention being paid to • them in their present situation. Saturday the 2d or Queen's ; 4th or King's, and 13d Regiroents, disembarked at Harwich, and marched thr Colchester. Such of the sick as were not able to proceed with them we left in the barracks at Har ich, \Ve arc harpy to hear that a - great proportion of the kick. men now at Harwich, are doing well. A con- Qeable number were yesterday able to join their regiments, though they have only been a week on shore. Only one died in the course of Saturday. M , m(l.iy the ‘..).d Berks Local Militia, under the eAnnwal of Lieutenant-Colonels KEARNEY and Sir lulus XNE:IS, arrived in Reading. _ . The regiments now form the garrison of hover-11on•gumery, Buckingham, Warwick, and Penh : the Anglesea and Cardigan are at Deal ; the Itutlan.l and South Lincoln at Fulkstone, Hythe, and tl:e forts adjacent ; the I .e.d West York at Reading :rctt ; the Denbigh at Ospringe,. and the East Suf folk at Achford. The West Suffolk are at Sheerness, ;a the Isle of Sheppey. The recruiting for the Militia by beat of drum is as:onishingly productive, so much so, that most of the regiments will have obtained their complement by Christmas next. All parties must agree in giving Ministers the most unqualified credit for this wise and constitutional mode of filling the ranks of our ar mies, as the men are obtained at little more than a ?Garth part of the expence, and the necessity of re sorting to that partial and vexatious mode of con scription, the ballot, is dome away. The Local Militia Bill will not be further acted JpJa until the established Militia shall be completed. i:!!:•act of a Letter from an Officer of Artillery ) Vecre, Island of \Valcheren, September I 0: " are making every preparation in our regiment • act on the defensive.

Ali . Austrian Courier arrived in town on Saturday with dispatches to prince STA lIREATtERG. Yesterday evening dispatches from Portugal were delivered at the Office of Lord Castlereagh, in,Down ing-street. Since the arrival of Lord CHATITAIt from Wal cheren it has been reported, but we know not on what authority, that Ministers have come to the resolutiLn of abandoning that island. Various rumours continue to prevail respecting changes (partial ones) in the Administration ; but they have not acquired that degree of probability, much less certainty, that would justify our risking wh it might appear an in:position on the public-. Ge neral opinion seems to direct its more certain expec tttions to the dismissal of par:kill:lr (;fficers than to eleir successors. Among other things, it is said, that the Duke of RiciiNioNo will come from Ireland to succeed Lord CHATHAM. It is also said, that Mr. CANNING will not retain his situation, if certain persons are admitted into his MAJEsTy's Count i 1 who they are, we. shall not venture to suggest.- -We could mention others, but as the general com plexion of any change that ni../ take place is partial, and looks to different parties fur the members of the rew eficient Government, we shall not venture to en large farther upon so delicate a subject. A lea r from 80. , t0n, New England, says, that it was not expected that Mr. JACKSON would be able to reconcile matters berveen the United States and Great Britain, and that all intercourse must be suspended until a - mutual good understanding was established. With respect to France, it is mentioned that a ship with a Messenger on hoard, would be dispatched thi ther, as that country had cot:rented to revoke her decrees. It is added, that a treaty had actually been prepared, which waited only for the ratification of the French Government.

Tl•e Masters of two of the packet-boats between Leith and Kinghorn, have been fined, five guineas each, besides expences, for refusing to take over pas sengers at tke proper hour of tide. On Thursday next, being. St. Matthew's day, ac cording to custom, the LORD MAYOR, Alder men, Sheriffs, and Governors of the several Royal Hospitals, will attend Di vine Service at Christ Church.

Ftaxs.—Three cottages were consumed on Monday le l last at Halkerton,' in Devonshire , hex against one' owin to a small quantity of unslaked lime being of them • -and which kindled during e night after a shower Of rain. An infant, three years old, unfortu nately perished in the flames, and its parents, in at tempting to rescue it, experienced considerable injury. The workhouse at Yaxley was on Satiudayse'nnight burnt to the ground. This mor,,ing, between two and three o'clock, a fire broke , out in Bear-Yard, Lincoln's Inn-Fieldn. As part of the premises consist of the workshops of a tallow•chandler, the flames speedily communicated with great" violence to the whole buildings situated in the centre of the Yard, and which are mostly oc cupied as slaughter-houses for the butchers in Clare- Market. In less than an hour the whole pile of 1 buildings in which the fire broke out w4s in mins. The flames have done considerable damage to the windows of several houses situated North of Bear-yar4; and the inhabitants were obliged to remove their fur. nature. No individual has sufiered any personal in jury that We can learn. The e;ertions of the firemen were, as usual, praiseworthy, and they succeeded in confiaing the kelamage, in a great measure, to the Stack of buildings in which the fire broke out.

By a Royal Resolution, issued at Copenhagen, on the ‘2oth ult. all Swedish vessels and boats, having li censes from the Daniiii Chancery of State, may not only navigate all the Danish seas, but enter the ports of Copenhagen, and those of the Islands of - Fionia, Langeland, Jutland, Schleswig, and Holstein . . In bad weather, they may also put into every port or hay of Zealand, Laland, Falster, and Moen, But in both cases they are to be under military guard. Those ships that have licenses from Norway, have the same privileges as the former. A letter from Captain Arcritsota, of PESPIEGLE s'oop of war, dated from _on board that vesse) at I-leligoland, September 9, states his having fallen in with at sea, three days before, a large Darhuish tim ber ship, heaVily leaden with deals, balk, and Riga masts, which, with much difficulty, she towed into Heligoland. The ship was water-logged, totally dis. masted, and had no a soul on board; nor is the fate of her crew ascertained. The Crew of PE-srtaaLs had great difficulty in keeping her above water, .and her cargo must be taken out to be brought to Eng. land. She was, if possible, in a worse situation than the ship towed into Plymouth some time since by the VIRAGO gun-brig.
