THE ARMY. The Ross Militia began theirmarch thin morning f ro m Woodbridge Barracks; in Sussex, to Harwich in Essex. The 2d troop of Norfolk Yeomanry Cavalry, com manded by Sir Gaonoa KHADOI4, have volunteered their services to any. part of his Majesty's United Ningdom. on Wednesday the Hon. Colonel HARBORD and perces' regiments of Local Militia marched into Yarmouth to perform 28 days exercise. The Yarmouth Regiment, commanded by Colonel GOULD, was embodied yesterdityfor 28 days exercise. Several corps from the test and Eastern Districts will embark in the DOwns immesliately, and the fleet will sail before the King's birth-day. Further draft s will be sent out to all King' s regiments in Ptirtugal: se veral cavalry regiments, and a brigade or two of Foot Guards will go. The French Government have refused to exchange the French prisoners taken at Martinique, who have been brought home to Quiberon Bay in the Belleisle, of 80 guns. Saturday, at Chelsea, witnesses were examined in support of the Hon. Captain COCHRANE'S defence.— Lieutenant-Colonel ELLEY was examined at his own request, he having been appointed by his Majesty to the Staff of the Army in Portugal. He was to leave town this morning for Portsmouth. The Court ad journed at three O'clock till to-morrow. A General Court Martial was held at Musselburgh on the 27th ult. on Captain ALEXANDER CHISHOLMs of the Inverness-shire Militia, accused of insubordi nation and disrespectful language and gestures to his superior officer. The Court found him guilty of in subordination and using disrespecting language, and ordered him to be severely reprimanded, and sus pended from rank and pay for three months. The sentence was approved of by the Commander of the forces, and intimated, on Monday, to the regiments in Edinburgh Castle. The Court-Martial on Admiral HARVEY is fixed for Monday the 22d instant, at Portsmouth. The charge is, for using improper language to Lord GAMBIER, the Commander in Chief of the Channel Fleet ; in consequence of Lord COCIiRANE having been appointed to attack the French fleet in Basque Roads. The Court will be composed of the following Officer : • Admiral Sir R. Curtis, President.—Admirals Holloway, Sir J T. Duckworth, Sir H. E. ionhope, Douglas, Campbell, Wells, Sutton, and Ottway. Captains the Hon. A. K. Legge, Beresford, Irwin, and the next senior Captain at the port. M. Greetham, F. , •ci. Judge Advocate.—Charles Bicknell, Esq. the Admiralty Solicitor, is to assist him. A Court-Martial has been held in the West Indies, on the Master and remaining crew of the Carnation sloop of war, to account for the capture of that ship, on the 2d of October, off Martinique, by a French National brig. The result was, that the master was honourably acquitted, the Serjeant of Marines sen tenced to suffer death, and twenty-six of the crew were sentenced to be transported to New South Wales, for cowardice. The serjeanr of marines has since been executed. The men under sentence of transportation are coming home prisoners in the Belleisle. Captain GALWEY is appointed to the Dryad frigate. In consequence of the death of the B►sxor of Lox. Dow yesterday, the great bell• of St. Paul's was tolled an hour, according to ancient custom, on the death of the Sovereign or of the Metropolitan Bishop. His dissolution had been almost daily expected during the last three weeks. A fire as fierce and destructive as any that has, for a long series . of years, spread terror and dismay throughout the metropolis, broke out last night in a vessel adjoining Billingsgate Dock, at a very short distance srom the water-edge. It was firsttlis covered a few minutes before ten o'clock ; but al though every possible effort was made for its ex tinction, it spread so rapidly, and gained so cm plete an ascendancy, as to baffle all exertion. - The flames extended themselves almost instan taneously to the other shipping, and from them again to the line of warehouses running from the Dock along Dyce Key, &c. Notwithstanding the prompt assistance afforded by the engines, which reached the spot in a very short period from the com mencement of the fire, such was its rapidity and vio lence that the water seemed merely to give fresh strength to the flames. The range of warehouses, filled with sugars, tar, oil, hemp, turpentine, tallow, Rc. &c. were all successively consumed, and the vo lumes of fire, though generally speaking almost uni fcrmly thrown up, were rendered more furious and horrible every ten or fifteen minutes by some new combustible matter which they caught. The fire communicated in a gradual but rapid man ner to the vessels next the shore, and it began with assailing the masts, sails, and rigging of those in the immediate tiers. The sight from London and Black friars Bridge was awfully affecting, and it was at one pe-iod apprehended that it would be impossible to preserve the whole of the shipping in that part of the River from absolute ruin. Fortunately the tide fa vouring about eleven o'clock, by the efforts which were made for the preservation of the vessels in the Dock, several were towed out, although with extreme difficulty. Four were completely burnt, and about the same number damaged. A floating engine, which was worked with great skill, was of considerable ser- Vet in preventing the extension of the flames along the River. The vessel on board of which the fire broke out, had nearly the whole of her cargo in, which was destroyed. The extensive warehouses of Ralph's Key, Smart's Key, Young's Key, and Dyces Key, with their va luable contents, are entirely destroyed---Wiggons's Key is partly so. Among the vessels consumed are a large brig from Hull (the Zealous), laden with hemp, tallow, &c. ; a Margate boy, and a Deal ves sel, laden with spirits and wine. The fire is said to have been caused in the following reannner :—A lamplighter imprudently struck Ins link when burning againsta cask of spirits of turpen tine, which it would appear must have been leaky, and the contents immediately took fire. A watchman then came to the lamplighter's assistance, and the cask was pushed forward with the view of rolling it into the Thames : it took a different direction, how ever, and fell into a ship lying alongside the wharf. The dimes first broke out very near that part of the Key where the Margate and Ramsgate hoys usually lie for the reception of passengers. ,•• it NAVAL IVTILLIGENCE. LOSS OF THE DORIS TRANSPORT. This vessel was on her palage from Portsmouth to Lisbon, with a number of others, under convoy of the Frederickstein, Bonne Citoyenne, &c. The Frederickstein made the signal to the Bonne Citoyenne to cline a strange sail, which proved to be a Falmouth packet. The Bonne Citoyenne was going back to her station in the convoy, when the above transport ran foul of her, and received so much damage that she sunk in fifteen minutes there was hardly time to save her crew, and a detachment of the 3d Dragoons, who were on board: thirty horses, all the baggage, and other property, went down in the vessel. The Bonne Cl toyenne received much damage. EAST-INDIA SHIPPING. The CEYLON and DIANA, which sailed from the Cape the 21st February for St. Helena, with his Ma jesty's skips POWERFUL and ALBION, sailed from St. Helena the 10th March with those ships and the THAis frigate ; also the ALEXANDER from Bombay, which place she left the 4th January last.

ADMTRALTY-OFFICE, MAY 13. Ettraci of a Letter *om Captain Harwood, of his Majesty% Sloop the Parthian, to Admiral Yount, Commander in Chief of his Majesty's Ships at Plymouth, and transmitted by him to the Hon. W. W. Pole, dated at sea, the Stlt instant. On the 2d instant, in latitude 45 N. longitude 9 W: a brig was discerned in the West, and from the desc:iption previously received, soon made out to be la Nouvelle Gironde, the noted privateer of Baur deaux ; wlych vessel, I am happy to acquaint you, was captured after a chace, in light winds, of thittY- six hours, owing to the nnremitted, exceeding great, and determined exert i ons o f every individ ual - oat board, who perseveringly continued to labour hard at the sweeps nearly the whole chace. La Nouvelle Gironde is a fine copper-fastened brig, commanded by Mons. Lecomte J mounting four 121 and ten 4-pounders, with a complethent of 86 men, (58 on board) out 45 days. In the capture of such a scourge to the trade, I cannot but feel gratified ; particularly as she has been chaced during this last cruize by twelve different men of war, none of which, by the prisoners' accounts, had the smallest chance of nearing her.
