CIRCCLAR TO GENERAL OFFICERS COMMANDING TRICTS AT HOME AND ON STATIONS ABROAD► " Hone Guithls, November 8, 1811. " I have received the Commander in Chief's commands to re quest your earnest attention to.a branch of the service placed under your direction, from svhich his Royal Highness expects that the must essential benefit will be derived, as well to the discipline of khe Army at large, as to the conduct of the individuals of Whom it is composed. I allude to the establishment of Military Chap lains, and the duties \which attach to them. " You will have berm apprized of the Mural footing on which his Majesty has been phased to plate these Officers, by assigning to them the pay and allowances of a Major; and his Royal High ness entertains no doubt that their corduct will universally prove them worthy of this distinction (for they have been selected with th'e utmost care and circumspection by the first Prelates of this country) ; and that they will from all persons receive that respect %thick is so justly doe to their rank and profession : but it is to Officers holding commands, to whom it Is bis Royal Highness's wish most particularly tont:mom:a them ; ani in order to give fn'l efficacy to their labour*, it is necessary that thelieneral Officers should personally enforce the Regulations which ere establish*/ fur the performance of the Religious Duties of the Army: " It is the Commander In Chief's commend, that the Chaplains *hall visit the Sick and the Hosßitals cf their respective Divisions or garrisons, at least twice in each week, and diligently perfosm the ivqtiite Duties therein; that Divine Service shall be performed each Sunday; and his Royal Highness particularly , enjoins, that more men shall not be assembled for that purpose at a time than the voice can reach, (a precaution very necessary to assure the at tention of the soldier), but that the Chaplain shah perform the ser vice successively to the different corps of his division; and his Royal Highness desires that the service may close with a short practical sermNi, suited to the habits and understandings of sol diers. 'r o this last part of the service the Commander in Chief attaches much importance, as being in conformity to the custom of the Established Church, and more than ever required at this time, which is peculiarly marked by the exertions Ati interference Of Ste:arks of various deecriptions.—l have the honour to be, &e. • (S gated) HARRY CALVERT, Adjutant-General."

On his Royal flighncses getting on board, the stand ard was hoisted, and a royal salute fired from all the fleet at Spitbead, each ship having their yards manned, which is a very grand sight. General BALLASTEROS, when engaged nn a recon noissance, had a hair-breadth escape of being made prisoner, and one of the Adjutants who accompanied him was actually taken. _ A considerable body of Spaniards, who had sworn allegiance to JOSEPH, and who were on their march to Madrid, have been suddenly and unexpectedly dis- armed. It is said that SUCIIET, prior to the late action at Saguntum, to thicken his ranks, compelled 5000 of the natives to join him, and that the desertions, in consequence, from his forces, have been very nume rous. • A letter from Valencia, written prior to the date of the battle in that neighbourhood, estimates the force under General BLAKE at 24,000 men. The Commissary at War, D. JOAQUIN DR SANTA CRUZ, has, proposed a plan to the Regency of Spain for the improvement of the artillery service, under which a battery of four pieces will do equal execution with 16, according to the ordinary method. Pratottv.—The notorious Davenport Sedky, who was convicted of a most "atrocious fraud upon the Marquis of Heat:Hort, in concert with several other swindlers, not yet brought to justice, stood this days upon the pillory, in front of Newgate, pursuant to his sentence. Being an old ilavr he went through his varions evolutions with considerable eclat, and John Bull, as usual, displayed his h. nest indignation at the wretch, by copious libations of tilth ftom Fleet-mar -1 ket. It will be recollected that Sedley Its tried along with a person calling himself Baron Kierrulff, and also a soi-Zsant foreign Nobleman. Sedley was ha bited in the usual pillory costume: • a butcher's greasy night-cap concealed his hoary locks from public vie*, and a watchman's surtout the rest of his miserable carcase. We trust that the vigilance of the worthy Magistrates of the metropolis will not relax until they have brought the whole of Sedley's honourable frater nity to condign punishment. His gang is more ex. tensive than the public are yet aware of. For our pasts, we shall be proud on all occasions by disclosing their infamy, to put our unsuspecting countrymen on their guard, and thus discharge our duty as honest Journalists. Munnart.—A person of the name of Wyatt, has been taken up on suspicion of the murder of Mr. Va lentine, at FowEY, as mentioned in the STAR of yes terday : The mate of a vessel, lying at a very little distance from the,place where the body of Mr. Valen tine was foutfd in the water, heard the deceased, or some other person, at the time the deed was done, say, 66 Don't, Wyatt, for GoD's sake, don't!" The mate immediately got into a boat and proceeded to the spot, where he found the deceased in the water, drowned, on whom was found the mark of a violent blow behind the ear.. The Whole of the money is found, it having been buried in the dung at Wyatt's stable-door. Wyatt is committed in order to take his trial at the ensuing Bothnia Assizes. The body was brought to Plymouth, where it will be intoned after the Coroner has sat upon it. Igo rrixottast.—lt appears, that there is no re laxation in the depredations of the rioters. On Wed nesday night, like more frames were broken at Bas tard, and" the tradesmen of various places have been threatened. The vigilance of the military is unremit ting ; but the rioters have such gond information th e they generally manage to elude them, and carry on their outrages when the military are absent. The threatening letters that have been received by indivi duals of the trade, and the general condtict of the note' s, have inspired an universal terror. Every day carts loaded with property of all descriptions arrive at Nottiaghtuu front the country, for security. A FATAL Hoitx.—Some person who has thought proptr to chew his or her ingenuity at the expence of their intejity, last . night sent a variety of trades men with articles to a house upon the.Adelphi Ter race. -The hoax, a very clumsy one, -was soon dis covered, and the poor tradesmen had to carry back • their articles to the shops from whence they brought them, most of them a long distance.
