The quarters for the different Regiments and Divi. sions are not yet arranged; nor is it decidedly known whether Cambray or Brussels will be the Duke's own head-quarters. The Military Orders which'the King of France is going to confer upon the British Army. it is said will be numerous, and are to be distributed amongst those Officers who were at the battle of Waterloo, and who held military situations ir.

The wind having come round from the Eastward yesterday morning, the Transports with the 2d Bat talion 80th Regiment, and the 9cl Garrison Battalion, have sailed from Dover for Ireland. Yesterday a further part of the 6th Dragoons, some of the Ist Royal Dragoons, and the 2d Battalion 35th Regiment, landed at Dover from Calais. The 90th Regiment, which came over from France on Monday to Dover, is to go to Plymouth. Tuesday se:might, the 73d Regiment marched into Rochester, on their route to Colchester, having lately returned. from France, and on the following morning, they proceeded on their route. _ _ 'Thursday the 33d Regiment halted in Chatham ; they are also from France, on the same line of march as the 73J, which they pursued on Friday morning. Friday afternoon arrived in Chatham and Roches ter, the gallant remains of the fed Regiment, or Gordon Highlanders. This Regiment suffered very severely at the battle of Waterloo, before the tom mencement of which they mustered 700 rank anti file, and such was the slaughter of this valiant corps that after the action they had not 2(X) effectives re• maining, and between 20 and SO Officers were either killed or wounded. They marched on Sa turday morning for Colchester. Saturday also arrived in Chatham and Rochester, the remains of the invincible 42d, likewise from France ; the left wing of this Regiment, with the baggage, after being quartered for the purpose of re. freshment, for a few hours, marched again at a late hour the same night, for Gravesend, where they were joined on Sunday morning by the right wing ;—they then crossed the River to the Essex coast, and comp nued their route for Colchester. A few days since, the West E9sex Militia, arrived at Chatham from Sheerness, and on Sunday morn ing the first division marched from thence to Graves end, where they continued till Monday morning, when being joined by the remainder of the Regiment and their baggage, they also crossed the Thames on their route for Colchester. _ _ It is reported, that the Foot Guards are shortly to occupy the Upper Barracks at Chatham. to the num ber of 1000 men. And a large body of Royal Ar tillery is also expected to be stationed at Chatham aad Brompton.

The regiment consisted o£ four troops, commanded by Captain BROMLEY. as senior O ffi cer present. The Palms was accompanied by General Sir B. BLOOM FIELD, General Bourow. and a retinue of Noblemen. Each troop entered separately, to ;fiord his Royal Highness a better opportunity of,examining the state and discipline of the regiment, which occupied some time. When the four troops were forined, it must , hive been gratifying to the feelings of the officers, as well as to the men, to hear their illustrious Colonel express his pleasure at their good conduct and disci pline, the excellent state of their accoutrements, and the condition of their horses. -IVAPAL INTALL.IGENCL The Govern:neat packet Greyhound, Ric*, from Ces* to Bristol, with passengers, was totally Inst on the Cidvet Sands the night of the 29th nit. and all on board perished.

His Lordship was elected to this of on the death of Lord AUCKLAND; and from the circumstance of its being the first public installation in the records of Marischal College, the ceremony excited an unusual degree of interest. Yesterday se'nnight, the remains of the late Gene. ral Robert Prescott, were removed from his seat at Rose•green, Battle, to Winchelsea, and their interred in the family vault. The hearse, drawn by four horses, was followed by a mourning coach and several family carriages. The General was in his 88th year, and during the American war was in very active service.

On the night of Friday sennight, the mansion of Sir WILLIAM ASIIVANHAW, Ban. at Broomham, in the parish of Guestling, in Sussex, was burglarionsly entered by some villains, who gained admission into every mom of the house, and forced and pillaged every chest they found. The extent of the robbery has not yet been ascertained. To render three punch ladles more portable, the thieves broke off their silver bowls, and left the handles behind them. , A curious circumstance occurred last week at a Subscription-house in St. James's-street : Lord D. having been very unfortunate at Hazard, threw down his purse, saying, is Who'll set me the contents, whatever it may prove I will," replied Sir Joon B. when his Lordship having won by nicking seven, produced two Lottery Tickets from the purse, exclaiming, " Noir, sir JOHN, 1 will bet you 500 guineas that one of these tickets will be drawn a prize, and a thousand guineas a-piece to every Gen tleman present, that the chances are is my favour." The bets were eagerly taken, and the question was sent next morning to a calculator,,who returned the following answer 41 In the present State Lottery Scheme, containing 2 Prizes of 25,000 Guineas in Gold, 2 of 6 2 . 0,000 Pounds, and 6,667 other Pri,zes of £5,000, £l,OOO, &c. &c. with 20,000 Tickets, if any person buys two tickets or two shares, the odds are five to four that one of the two numbers will be drawn either a capital or one of the other prizes in this Lottery, to begin drawing 14th February."--By this decision, his Lordship pockets ten thousand gui neas, besides what the Lottery Tickets may produce.

FIRES. The honk of Nwis, near Stirling, the property of EDWARD ALEXANDER, Esq. WAS, burnt to the ground on Wednesday last. Tuesday sennight, Pinkie House, famnus in song, and the seat of Sir Joist. Hope, in the neighbourhood of Edinburgh ' was nearly destroyed by fire. Some of the rafters communicating with the chimney, took fire, about five in the evening ; it was soon discove. red, and happily got under without much damage. ALARMING FlRE.—Last Sunday morning the in habitants of Finsbury-square were thrown into the utmost consternation, in consequence of a fire which broke out at the house of Mr. MITCHEL, broker and appraiser, in Crown -street, corner of the square, acrd which burned with such rapidi , y, that the family ex perienced the utmost difficulty to escape with their lives. It was at first discovered by one of tie vivan•.- maids, who got up at seven o'clock, and finding the lower part of the house full of smoke, she.informed her fellow -servant, who instantly alarsred her master and mistress, and then took two of the children down stairs with her; but when she came into ti .e pAssPec. a flame came right against her, and, very pr.h..hly, she could not proceed any farther, only one of the chtl dren, most providentially, pointed out the street do , r to her, when they escaped. Mr. MITCHEL Wus also coming down stairs with two more of air chtldren under his arm, but was prevented by the if mes, which were ascending up to the first floor : he re. corned up again, awl happily succeeded in getting out at the garret window. After he lett the children at a neighbouring house, he returned, and sncrecded in getting Mrs. Mtram. and the rest of the f.mily out at the same place ; they had scarcely quitted-the room, when the Eve fell in with a dre Kiwi crash, and the flames then burst out at every aper we ; af,d in about half an boor the whole of the premises, con sisting of a shop and dwelling-house, with a large warehouse behind full of goods, were consumed : the adjoining house also sustained .great injury, and would have met the same fate, but tor the laudable exertions of the firemen. It is supposed that this ca lamity was wilfully occasioned : one pereon is in custody-on suspicion. DREADFUL FIRE AT CANTERBURY. About a quarter past two, in the morning of Sun day last, a fire was discovered is the house of Mr. John Goddard, shoemaker, opposite the Butter Mar. ket, Burgate.itreet, Canterbury, which in a very short space afterwards was completely enveloped in tl•.hrnes ; and by five o'clock, such was the fury of the devour ing element, that the internal part was wholly con sumed, with every article of the furniture and stock in tr.ide ; and, agonizing to add, with the loss of the lives of Mr. Goddard and his eldest son (William), a id thirteen years of age, whose bodies, in a muti lated state, were, about nine in the morning, dug nut of the ruins. From the concurring testimony of the neighbours, it appears, that about the time above. mentioned they were alarmed by Mr. Gtreidard's voice 'and the cry of " fire," and on proceeding to the house, perceived him with his son at the window of the first floor, imploring and calling for a ladder,. or " else they should be suffocated ;" but, before that or any other assistance could be afforded to them, they had disappeared, and were •een no more ! The shop door was then forced and the internal part, with the stair case, appeared a body of fire, the flames of which shortly atter burst our through the door way. Previous to this, Mrs. Goddard, r.•itfi four younger children (one an int.int), and the maid , servant effected their escape through a trap do• , r i.:l the top of the house, into the adjoining one of Dr) r. Powell, having been directed •so to do by ht.r husband, who with lit's son had lelt her for the pur pose of obtaining his books. but it is curjectured they were prevented horn following her by the rapi dity of the flames, or the effect of the smoke. The dead hour at which this dis.tstruu: event oc curred prevented .to prompt an assistance as could have been wished, but as soon as the alarm was spread the engines were brought to the spot, and but for most extraordinary judgment and almost surer , human exertions, the house of Mr. SAnntel Powell, hosier, which adjoined on the one side, and that of Mr. Stephen Couchman, grocer, on the other, with other buildings constructed of wood and filled with combustible articles in the rear, would have been in volved in a general conflagration, the extent of which. from the confined situation of other adjacent build ings, it is dreadful to contemplate. To enumerate every individual act of intrepidity and judgment where so many were Conspicuous would be impossible. but if the meed of praise is due more pre-eminently to one than to inother, the Con duct of Mr. Jesse White, with that of his son (Mr. William White) entitle them to the thahks of their fellow-citizens and the reward of a civic crown. in bestowing this just tribute of applause, let ns not forget the conduct of the military, whose exer tions, aided by their officers (Colonel Mein, of the 52d Foot, in paiticular) secbnded every effective en deavour to suppress the flames—attending with their engine from the barracks, protecting the property of the sufferers, and lining the streets to the river side at the bottom of Orange-street, in order to fqrnish a supply of water. A Coronet's Inquest was yesterday . afternoon taken on the remains of the unfortunate victims, and a verdict returned of—Death by suffocation, occa sioned by fi re.—The houses and property, both of Mr. Powell and Mr. Couchman, it is satisfactory to learn, are fully insured ; the stock and furniture of Mr. Goddard were also insured, but it is feared not sufficiently ample to cover the loss, much less to af ford the means of present support for his afilicted widow and children. The Jury, contemplating her misfortune, unani. mously gave up for her benefit the pecuniary compen. sation due to them for their attendance, with an bore that it would he but the commencement of a more mu. nificent aid, which we doubt not will be gratefully accepted at the Banks and Libraries. Nothing certain is known as to the -cause of this distressful calamity ; but it is conjectured, and the conjecture is most probable, that, it arose from a large fire which had been made on the pr• ceding evening, in a small room adjoining the shop, the chimney of which, the smallness of its aperture would not admit of being swept. - The hapless youth who has thus fallen an early sa. crifice, was to depart for France on the following day, having previously been at Dover, with that intention, but had returned the wind and weather Wing adverse.
