THE ARMY. Yesterday that very fine regiment, the North Devon commanded by Major Lae, were landed from trancr.rts and marched to Fort Monckton ; they win be under the command of Gen. foetal', who com mands at Gosport, and who has under him three fine regiments, the North Cork and City of Dublin regi nren:s. Six hundred from the 4th battalion of the Setts Royals have arrived in this country from Scot land for embarkation for foreign service ; 200 of them go out to join the Ist battalion of this. antient and re nowned regiment in the West-Indies, 200 go out to the 2cl battalion serving in the East-Indies, and 200 go out to the 3d battalion which is in Portugal, serving under Lord WELLINGTON, where they have repeatedly distinguished themselves: The whole 600 are re markably fine lads. The Scots Royal is the Duke of KsNt's regiment; and he is amost munificent, kind, and attentive Colonel to every person in his regiment. Lieutenant-General Lean goes out to the Army in Sicily, in the St. Fiorenzo frigate. Three hundred of General CAMPBELL'S regiment, the 13th Foot, and of the 25th or Edinburgh Regi mem, are embarking at Portsmouth for the West Indies. Large detachments are embarking at the same place, of the light dragoon regiments of the German Legion. No moors have been more useful and more faithful, or have behaved better than they have done in Portugal. The Marquis of SALISBURY'S regiment, the Here ford Militia, is on the march to Plymouth, to be under the command of that veteran and excellent officer, General ENCiLAND. Last week 70 men and 140 horses Llonging to the Ring's German Legion Light Horse, were embarked from the Dock-yard, Portsmouth, to join their regi ments in Portugal. Reinforcements cf British trorps are immediately to be sent to Poitugal, Cadiz, Gibraltar, Sicily, and t !aka. The Roxburghshira Yeomanry Light Dragoons, under the command of Major ELLIOT Locatmar, were litely inspected on Fleurs Lawn by "Colonel ll'Muutio, who expressed himself highly pleased with the appearance and discipline of the corps. A number of m.inceavres were performed, with treat celerity and precision. The 70th regiment has marched from Ayr for Stirling Castle. The 2d battalion 25th regiment are fast recruiting tlteir numbers at Glasgow, where this corps is a Favourite. The 57th and 4.2 d regiments, *err complete, and in excellent order, expect to be among the first regi ments sent on service. The remains cf the 46th regiment (which distin- vuished Itself so nobly under Sir GEORGE PREVOST, to preserving the Island of Dominica, when it was attacked on the 22d of February, 1805, by a very su perior French farce by sea and by land), with the Staff and colours, may be shortly expected in Ens -land, to join their Head-quarters at Kingsbridfe, in Devonshire. The Grenadier Company of this re spectable corps, it may be remembered, was publicly thanked for its gallant conduct at the capture of Guadaloupe, in February, 1810, by Sir Gsoaca • Beccwrru. The Lisbon flea, with several Officers and detach ments, for different corps in Portugal, the Mediter ranean fleet, the A snerican fleet, as also the second 'battalions of the 6th, 7th, 50th, and 81st regiments, 'who embarked about six weeks ago for Jersey, are still detained at Cowes, Isle of Wight. - The detachments of the South Down Militia en camped at Greencastle and at Magilegan Point, in the county of Derry, have suffered much from the seve rity of the weather, which has been very bad in that quarter for some time past. Anoti er detachment of the sth battalion of the 60th Regiment is going out in the fleet to the Peninsula. The Governor of Ciudad Rodrigo (Gen. REIN AUD), and eleven Officers of his Staff, taken with him, by Don JULIAN Sa:waltz, have arrived at Portsmouth. Some of the letters from the British prisoners in Trance, gye the following as the average price of provisions at the depots':—Veal and mutton Sid per' pound ; beef 2id ; two fouls Is. 10d ; two ducks Is. ; eggs S 4 d. per dozen ; bread 2d. per pound ; butter Bd. ; cheese 4d. ; and milk a halfpenny per quart. All the French prisoners of the rank of Midship men iii this country, formerly on their parole, have been sent to Dartmoor prison, in consequence of the French Government having issued an order to tin )ll all the Midsbipmen amongst the British priso ners of war in France. - Fifteen French Officers, frem Litchfield and Ches. te: f:cici, who had violated their parole of honour, pa , ,,?,1 through Stamford last week,, under an escort or dragoons, oil their way to the depot at Norman Cr( &Ir.-lay six prisoners were brought into Portsmouth harbrur, who were taken off Chelhurgh be the Vio let lugger: they were six Officers that had escaped From Moreton Hampstead: They had been 14 days hid in bushes, before they took to the boat: and were enly six miles from the French coast when taken. They are put on board the Veteran. Friday, came on the election of _the Lord Rector of the University of Glasgow, when there was the keenest struggle ever known in that University. Up wards of 800 electors voted. The candidates proposed were Lord ARCIIIIIALD HAMILTON and Lord Viscount MELVILLE, who were each supported by the interests of several of the Professors. On the final close of the poll, there appeared on the whole a majority of nearly i-'OO in favour of Lord ARCHIBALD liaasivrotr, who was accordingly declared duly elected.

We noticed the arrival here yesterday afteinoon of the Aaapacket,taptain BRITTON ) with a mail and dispatches, in 14 days from Gibraltar, after a ♦ery stormy passage :—We since learn that she was ex posed to a heavy gale off Falmeuth fsr two days ; but could net get into that port. On Thursday last, the 14th inst. she was chaced by a large armed brig, supposed to be a French privateer, front which she escaped only by her superior sailing ; but was driven so much eut of her way, that she was compelled to bear up for this port. Every preparation was made by the crew and passengers to give the enemy a warm reception, had they come near enough to render an action inevitable ; and they were determined to re sist to the last, rather than submit to be captured.- 1 The Ann, as we have before said, brought no news of interest of a more recent date than what had been previously received. The _following persons came jp . assengers in toe Ann from Gibraltar :—Mr. BAL RRAVE, Lady, and servant ; Mr. BORALK, Mr. Rosa, Mr. Rico, and a Messenger. Sailed the RESOLUTE gun-brig, for Cork ; la Rum ! frigate, for Brest ; OItESTES sloop of war, for Mil -1 ford ; FORTUNE ) 18 guns, for Lisbon ; PIERCER gun brig, for Bisque Roads ; and FANCY cutter for the same station. Went out of harbour to the Sound, ' the LEoNIDAS frigate; GROWLER and INSOLENT brigs. The PELORUS ) 18 pas, got under way this after noon, for Basque Roads, with the transport marked B.K. laden with provisions under convoy ; but the latter sprung a leak, and both vessels were forced to put back. Shipwrights are gone off to the transport, with two lighters ; and she now (4 p.m.) makes one foot of water per hour. PORTSMOUTH, NOVEMBER 18. • No anivals.

INTIM DEMVRANIt OF THE CATHOLth DELEOATES. We lucre this morning received sect nd Editions of the Dublin Papers of Saturday last. They contain the Judgment of the Coiut of King's Bench on the legal objections offered by the Catholic Delega:l s before proceeding to trial. The following acccunts are taken from the Patriot aid from the Dafirs Evening Poet. COURT OF Kigo's BENCH, IDUILI , NOY. 16. This day the Court cf King's Bench pronounced Judgment on the Demurrer to the two l'leas of the Catholic Delegates. - - The Courtvras, as usual, very much crowded On the Judges taking their seats, the ATTOIINEY-GE. NKRALAVaS scut for, and the four Judges proceeded to give their opinions seriatim. The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE said, that as there were two Pleas of Abatement put in by the Traversers, to both of which the Attorney General had entered a Demurrer, he would notice them separately. In the Plea of want of Freehold one of the objections a hich In addition to the Five Cases already before the Court, the Attorney-General has filed, ix !Po, In formati 'ns against the follinS-ing perms, outlets? : The E:irl FinAali, for presiding at an Aggte. gate Meeting at F. :.smile-street, oa this 9th hay.

Esq. Proprietor of Th freeman's Jcitratil, for publishing the Catholic pro ceerlings Gn the I st of August. Thomas 'Townsend, Esq Barrister-at-Law, Pro prietor or the Corrroondent, fir publishing the .. s proceedings. he should first notice was, that the persons were not known to be freemen, nor was there any proof that the city of Dublin was included in the class of cor porate towns ; that the charter of the city of Duhl'n I ought to be produced in proof, but in Hs opinion, th's objection could not be entertained a moment. It any proof was necessary to be prAuced, that the Court WAS sitting in the city of Dubin, would not Bills of Indictment found by the Grand Jury r f the cif o f Dublin, be sufficient ?—the Plea itself, if not'Merv,ise supported, would answer this ob jection ; as recifng the Indictment to be in the County of the City of Dublin. Another objec tion is, that they should possess certain qualifica• [ions, as being proli et legale: heminee. The plea makes but one objection, that is to freeholders ; they h.tve stated no other cause of disqualification. It was then the duty ei the Attorney-General to have brought proof that these persons were freemen of the City of Dublin, or that they were probi et legalet.— They might as well have required him to bring proof ', that the panne' had no minors, a:iens, or outlaws sworn on it. These objections cannot, therefore, be entertained a moment. The objection relative to freeholds is admitted to be a good one in counties at large, but not cities or corporate towns ; but freehol ders every where must be ftreli et legalez homitser. It is contended, on the part of the Crown, that fre2men are firobi et legales, and that qualification is common to all. We should have expected from such great authorities as Coke, Hale, and Hawkins, something decisive on this subject ; but precision of opinion is not to be found in them. His Lordship then quoted Hale 2. 155. where he says the Jurors must be free holders. This, he conceived, only referred to coon. ties at large. His Lordship then cited Hawkins 2, chap. 25, sec. 19, the 2 statutes of Edward, all which made exceptions in the cases of cities and boroughs ; he looked upon it, that misdemeanours were to be tried by common law. His Lordship concluded by saying that nothing had been advanced to warrant the plea ; and his opinion was, that the demurrer should be allowed. In this opinion Judges DAY, DALNY, and Os- ZORN! concurred, and delivered their opinions at length, but we have not time to report them to-day. As soon as the Judges opinions were pronounced, The Arronxev GEN/MAL rose. He s tid, as the demurrer had been allowed, he begged of the - Court to appoint a day for the trial ; and al the traverser did not wish for any delay, he suggested Wednesday nest. Mr. BURROWES for the Traversers, expressed the wish that this Term should not escape without the Trial going on, but that he had witnesses to summon from different parts of the country, and that he hoped the Court would allow a longer period thin the dal snentiorked by the Attorney-General ; that as to the delay it could not be said to have arisen from any frivolous or unfounded cause, as must be acknow ledged, when !the solemn deliberation that was given to the case by their Lordships was considered, and the solemn manner in which they had delivered their opinion seriatim. It was but an ordinary case, and he hoped a longer time would be granted. He men ' timed Monday se'nnight. A conversation here ensued between the Court, the Attorney-General; and the Counsel for the Traver sets, which ended in—Thursday next being appointed for the day of trial. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then begged of the Court to order the High Sheriff to return a numerous pan nell on that day, that no delay might ensue for want of Jurors.—( Patriot.) LAW INTELLIGENCE.

TIIE ICING V. Till AI3CHIIISHOP OF CANTERBURY AND THE BISHOP OF LONDON. Mr. Ganeow moved for a Rule to shew cause why a Mandamus shout! not i site these defendants upon the subject of the Rev. Dr. Povah's claim to be licen sel as evening lecturer of St. Bartholanww's. It will be recollected, that the Mandamus was, refused by the Court in Easter Term last, upon the gronnd that the Applicant had not exhauste 1 all his previous remedies, there lying an appeal from the Bishop to the Arch b:shop. That aeplication ti his Grate had tow been made ; and his answer was that he deened interfering. Mr. Garrow had now his former affida vits' and further ones, denying the objections which had been made to license die a?plicaat, viz. on the ground that he had preached against the doctrine of infant baptism; whereas it was sworn, that the ser mon elluded to hai directly the contrary import , and I had _actually produced directly the contrary effect there being als: 01 three ieveral persons, who s sore, that havile neglected to b iptize their in fants, they were so air:cted by this sermon, as to go to the preacher in agility, bes:eching him to hap tize their children. Th.s sermon was offered to the Archbishop, for his inspection. - There was . anoth( r objection made to Dr. Povah,—that he had read the absolution, while he was only in dea con's orders. If he was in error in thiF, he erred under high authoriiy for Dr. Burn had stated it to be a great question, whether the word print ap pointed to read that service did not mean. the officio. ting minister. But the learned Counsel wis raisinglia 'own adversaries ; for he had never yet received an in timation of the Bishop's - ejections to Dr. Powell. The Bishop had at first objected to him that be was in deacon's orders only: he had since procured his letters •f priest's orders; and was refined to be licensed. The Bishop had again been ineffectually apelied so, since the failure of the application to die Arci ibisbop. Lord ELLENBOROUOII in granting the rule to shew cause, after much deliberation, said, that it had better be for each of them to examine, in order to admit ;-- and for them, or one of them, to licence.
