. THE ARMY. The Argyleshire militia, having volunteered tor Ireland, are now under orders for that country. Wednesday se'nnight, the 6th regiment of Dragoon Guards (or carabineers), commanded by Lieutenant- Colonel French, was reviewed, on Portobello Sands,, near Edinburgh, by Lieutenant-General the Earl of ROSSLYN. • • We understand that the 15th Regiment of Hussars set off Yesterday for• Nottingham, in consequence of the turbulent proceedings in that neighbourhood. The 4th battalion of the. 60th Foot, which came home from Antigua a skeleton but a.ihort . tittle since, is rapidly increasing its nuinbers ; the itrength of it is already upwards of 400. • The Ist SetrprAt Militia' are to march on the 3d of the ensuing mouth for Dartmore, to do garrison duty over the French prisoners at that depot. THE LATE GOVERNOR Cr CVIDAD RODRII3O,—A let ter from an Officer in the Army of Portugal,' dated Freneida, Octobvr 23, says--- ,, General Regnaud re mainel at head.quarters two or three days. He is a jollv•leoking middle aged person. I had'a short con , versation with him. He spoke very rapidly, and seems an active keen officer. His horse formerly belonged to an Engli,h Dragoon. Major Gordon went in for, his baggage, and they sent a covered cart and two servants with it. When taken, he was at some dis tance from the main body of hia attendants, , and w mid have escaped, only some one cried out 4 , Take care of the Governor :" which the:Spaniards heard, and immediately ceased pursuing. tht.others, to sur round him. He always dined with -his Lordship whilst here and was treated in the politest manner." 'The depression of the funds was experienced yester any in a greater degree than the day before, for which no particular cause is assigned. At one time ofthe day. bargains were done in consols at a fraction under 63; but they revived towards tt e close of the marke t, and kit olf at 63.1-. Omnium &enured in proportiOn, it was dole as low as If discount, and left of at discount. A dreadful explosion ook place yesterday morning, about eleven o'clock, at the powder-mills at Waltham _ . Abbey. The concussion was distinctly felt in and 1 round the Metropolis, particularly in sever.tl parts cf the City, and more sensibly in Squthwark, at Stepney, Hackney, Blackwall, and Blackheath. At Stepney we tnclerstand*that a mirror of plate-glass was bioken by the shock; at Hackney and at Islington, several panes of glass wcre forced in : and at Black wall the ind&ws throughi.ut a v, 1-ole st.-ret were !nattered. Near the New toad, Mary-la-13cn1te, also, several of tiie Louses were much shJ ken, and the labourers who were excavating in Mary-la-Bonne Park, felt the ground shake where they were at work. Eleven per sonsare stated to have been killed, and much mis- chief done by the explosion. NorriNcrinsrt.—We are sorry to learn, that the 1 ri itous disposition of the workmen in and about NOt-1 tinghain rb far fr om being quelled. On Monday night they commenced their depredations in the town itself, which had not. before Leen the scene of their destruc tive activity. They destroyed several frames, but their proceedings were not so daring as in the neigh bintring villagvs. On Sunday evening they corn: witted various outrages in the vicinity. At Basford, oat letters state, that they destroyed no less than 21 flames (some accounts mention'a greater number), nod on the fpllowing -evening, eleven more. Upon the wholehtheri disorderly spirit tratersore-alarming than it had been for some time preceding. It is stated', that to pay the regular prices is no security to property, since the frames of those manufacturers Laye been destroyellAvhohavenever scrupled to pay the usual charges. The rioters, it is added, are en couraged by the hope of compelling some part of the trade to quit their business. INCENDIAILIES.—The Gazette of Tuesday. night con tented advertisements, signed by Mt. Secretary RYDER, offering a reward for the discoveiy of . the person.or persons who maliciously set fire,- on the 6th inst. to a barn belonging to WILLIAM Mirroap, Esq. of Pitt hill, in the county of Sussex, whereby about 70sptar ters of unthteshed barley, together with a haystack,• were consumed; and also for the discovery of the person or persons who maliciously set on Ere, among other places, in the parish of Erning k in the county of Suffolk, the public-house, called the Swan, on the 14th of July last ; and the premises of Mr. Commit, in the same parish, on the 18th of September ; and also seven dwelling-houses and a stable. 'FlRk.—About six o'clock yesterday svening a fire broke out at a w::ite-lcad mill iii Gllfsshouse-yard, Gravel-lane, Southwark, which spread the greatest consternation in the vicinity ; but by the alacrity cf the neie,hbours, and early attendance of the e men, and having a plentiful supply of w4er, it was got unier, after materially injuring the premises and machinery. Government have received a Memorial from HP the principal Planters, &c. of Bermuda, praying that the distillation of spirit's from sugar may be renewed. It is expected that,Addresses of ti ,e same character will be presented rom all the other West India Islands - . Twenty-two French Officers, wit.) were on th..ir parole at Wincanton, in Somerketshire, have lately made eieir escape. • Two French prisoners of war, who had broken their parole at Chesterfield, were apprehended at the Bell Inn, Sandwich, on Sunday. It appears that they are sergeons in the French service. Fish of every description, and particularly fine Scilly ling and cod, are s , ) plentiful and cheap in Plymouth markets, cud have been for some time past, that the price is not worth mentioning. Slriw, the Life Gnardsman, who has sent several challenges to Mullineu,c, attended yesterday at the' Fives Court, to make up the match.—Shavt has de clared he will fight him tor any sum, or for a belly full !" Wednesday se'imight a man named Smith, servant to Captain WOOLER, of the Durham Local Militia, for a wager of £5, walked 64 miles in I'4 hours and 43 minutes, 17 minutes within the time allowed. The last S.l miles he wafted in :31 ‘minutcs, though the road was bad. If the Germans should emulate the blitz watch maker, and the thing should beconte general, they will change their character, and instead of being the most phlegmatic, they 'wi ll become the twoot.fighty people in'Europe. NAYAL IN7ELLIGENCg. ; PLYMOUTH, NOVEMBER tf. As the brig Mary Ann; Captain ORFURE, belong• ing to Mr. Baustn, of Great Yarmoutii, was pro• 'feeding •hene"e on her voyage to Guernsey, on the 11th inst. , with a cargo of rum and tobacco, belong- ineto mefdrants there, she was met with and taken • by the Corsaire French privateer, of 14 guns and 7.5 nneni and carried into Brchat, an-island on the oppo iite shore. The Mary Ann had six passengers (two Gentlemen whose names we have not learnt, a mar . ried-Lady with her child, and two young Ladies, Misses RENNtLLS, of Plymouth). The four latter persons are returned to this country, having been sent in a cartel from Morlaix, which landed them on Sun- day morning last at Dartmouth, whence the Misses RENNELLS returned last evening. The Captain of the Corsaire gave strict orders to his crew not to molest any of 'the passengers ; they robbed them however of every thing but what they actually had on their back! at the time. The above Corsaire was so near this place, although so large a naval arsenal, as to see clearly and distinctly, without the assistance of telescopes, the labourers at work in the fields.

About a fortnight since the Margaret fell in with a large brig, seemingly about 200 tons, off " the Moray Fript, withlont any .person On board. The vessel was totally dismasted, her bowsprit also gone, and had two cables coiled on deck, and appeared to be loaded with timber, most probably one of the Baltic fleet.—The Spring, GRANT, arrived here last night, after a passage of six weeks, from Quebec, during which she encountered very blowing and tempestuous weather, chiefly from the northward. The Spring sailed from Quebec, in com pany with the brig Medea, MunnAv, also of this ' place, and parted from the latter en the `2lst of October, in the Gulph of St. Lawrence, but spoke no other vessel on her passage.—Monday the Mansfield . 0 - hack, Canwrotto, for London, was put into Sunder land, with the less of her main boom, attended with the following melancholy accident :—lmmediately after sailing out of this harbour, on Saturday last, and in the act of jibing the main-sail, the wind blowing hard from the northward, although the gaff was kw•ered, the main-boom broke, by which a passen get, of the name of WILLIANISON, was unfortunately killed, and another passenger, STIIONACII by name, se vetely hurt, but believed to be in a favourable way of recovery, although it is doubtful if be can at present proceed on the voyage.
