THE ARMY. The ad Heavy Cavalry of the German Legion are under orders to move from the Ifle of Tbanet, Sand wich, and Deal, for the vicinity of the metropolis, preparatory to their being reviewed : the &ft diva - too marched this day (Tuefday). The 3d (King's own) Dragoons, are alto ordered from Suffer to Canterbury, where they are to arrive on the ad, 31, aftb, and sth of September next. The ad Dragoon Guards (Q2een's Bays) are or dered to occupy the cantonments quitted by the 3d in Suffer, which they are to reach on the t 7th of September. The sth battalion of the both regiment, at prefent at Brab•urn Lees, ate under orders to embark for foreign let vice. • Accounts from every part of the country inform. us, that the filling up of the Army of the line, by volunteers from the militia, will be fuccefsful, to the utmolt extent of the meafure ; and that we than fhortly have 28,000 men in addition to our prefent difpofable force. Colonel BRADDYLOS, or the Prince's Own Regi ment, has come forward in the noble:! manner. But in no quarter has the fpit it of volunteering been more ardent than in the Blip, , ,ade at Dover, and in the Regiments on the Suffex coaa. One hundred and fifty men have volunteered from the North Devon Militia this week into the alth and 3cd regiments of the line, under the regulations of the late A. of Patliament, for the increafe of the regular army. More than the required number have come for. ward from the EMI Kent, at Haflar, and from the Weft Middlefex and Surrey. Of Sir WILLIAM SMITH'S fine Regiment, the Weft Effex, 150 camtft,rward within the fira two hour. 170 is the total num'•cr required : they are allowed t i go to the Buffs, Loth, and 17th ; but almoft every one of the Eff:x men have volunteered for General Fox's regiment, the loth. The North Hampfhire and Nottingham are not behind any other re?iment in fpirit and military ar dour, their quota having nearly come forward at once : the 76 li and 77111 Regiments feem to be the favourite corps for them,land two more gallant corps are not in the fervice. The Aberdeenfnirc Militia are moil of them for General Hope's regiment, the 92d, who behaved fo gallantly in Egypt. The Aytfitire are allowed to go to the 2 I ft, or Scots Fuzileers, the 79th, and 9: (1; but Amoli all of them go to the latter. The A r gylefitire, RtlC.fitire, and Invernefsfhire fire candidates for the 42d. We are credibly informed, that this highly difiingtl7llsed corps, if required, could at the prefent moment raife fix, infield of two batta lions. Sunday, the Flin Rtgitnent of Militia, in barracks at Chatham, volun:eertd twenty m-n more than their complement, for the 95th Rifle Regiment. The Merioneth began to volunteer yefterday. The Edit Sne•Alc volunteered rso men, yelterday, ipr the t alr Regimmt. The Car - dig-in and Denbigh Regiments 'of Militia, at Sheernefs, begin to volun , tter to marrow. The militia regiment; at relent fLitioned in Can terbury, are the lloyAl Perth and the Well N.ltfolk : both corps have !hewn an ardent defire to volunteer, and from their relent high (late of difcipline, they will prove a truly a , ctivah:e anvomentation to any regular corps in his Nl.dtily's I,:rvicc. The zeal has manitelled Hain the Eati Kett Militia, which will, without doubt, furnifn its compkte quota of volun teers. Throughout the whole bufir.ers, the militia rfficers deferve the higlren credit. Though it moll be pain ful to them to I; fe 10 m2n7 fine fellows wl:om they have brought to the highea tla:e of military One, Tct in every quarter they have 'era their aid to the General officers, in adviliug the men to enter into the line.

Friday the 9th yr reran battalion, under the cr , mt. mand of Colonel WALKER, marched from Edinburgh Caflle, for Ireland; the match was countermanded the fame day, after the battalion had got the length of Mid Calder. Four c mpar•.ies of this regiment had pot the length of Edinburgh from B erw i c k , to which they returned immediately. The Compesies which marched on Friday trim Edinburgh, returned in the forenoon. Friday past of the Bth regiment arrived at Win cheer from Pertlimiuth, to receive the volunteers from other regiments. The regiment of Hull and County and Scsilcoates Volunteers, Lieutenant-Colonel WRAY commander, is immediately to be completed to its full eflablifh ment of twelve battalion and one rifle companies.— The corps, we underaand, is to march from Hull on Monday, the r4th of September, for Scarborough, where they are to be placed upon permanent duty for twentyfour days. AMT.•' RICA. The SheffieW, an American fhip, is arrived from Norfolk in the Delaware. She left the Capes on the sad ult. The Belbna, Commodore DouGLAis, had previonfly failed for Halifax, taking with her the four feamen who were the eaute of the rencontre be tween the Leopard and Chefapeak. The damages (Whined by the latter were nearly repaired, and the trial of Commodore BARRON was immediately to take place on beard her. A report was picked up by this (hip that a Midfhipman and three feamen from the Britifh fquadron in the Chefapeak landed on the Norfolk coati, on the 18th of July, for the porpofe of proem ing water for the tender to which they belong. ed, when they were warned by the inhabitants to re turn to their fhip. The officer, it is Paid, expoftulated and perfifled in his endeavours to obtain water, the ! , Icc n.equence of which was, that he and his party were made prifoners and marched into the town of 1 Norfolk, where they were fuffered to be at large on parole. We do not attach much credit to this ;Mel. 1 ligence. After the interview of the Deputation from 'Norfolk with Commodore DOUGLAS, and the fecond letter of the latter to the Mayor of that town, it is by nb means likely that an attempt to procure fupplies by' force would have been made by any detachment !from the Britifh fquadron. iThe irritation among the Americans, we are happy Ito learn, had contidtrably fubfided, ia confecptence of i the conciliating natement of the pc:fims deputed to confer with Commodore Dour; Las. Meetings, how -1 ever, continue to be held, and offers of fervice made !to Government. To there, the general reply of the ' Prefident was as temperate as the mutual friends of both nations could pliably defire. At the time of the departure of the Sheffield, the Revenge, which is expeeted to bring the difpatches to Mr. Mu a ana, had not faded. The delay is fuppofed to have been cc cafioned by collecting ptoofs that the feamen feixed an board the Chefapeak were bna fide native Ameri ran fetjeCts. We have this day reformed our extraCts from the American Papers. We hope the fracas between the Chine::, at Canton, and the Englith feamen, men tinned in there papers, has been greatly exaggerated. FROM THE AMERICAN PAPERS. CANTON, MARC)! 4. " The Englith Company are involved in confider able trouble, in confequence of Come one of the crew of their (hip Neptune having killed a Chinefe, for whofe life this Government have required one of the crew to be delivered up, which has been pofitively refufed—this refufal has produced the Roppage of all the Chops for that (hip, and Mouqua, (Second of the Hong) by whom the is Limed, has been, with the Linguiti for the (hip. carried in chains Wide the city. I have converted with Cheongqua and Con feequa, who have affured me no inconvenience will attend the Americans, but alien pofitively a man muff be given up. si The failort have behaved moll infamoußy—they hauled down and danced on the Spanith Bag, and then deflroyed it. Their captains apologifed, and the next day compelled the tailors to hoiß a new one.— Some few of the fcoundrels thew a difpolition to pull Hdown the American colours, and a part of them were in the ad of loweeing the Swedith, but were prevented. They have burnt one of the Mandarin's houte. in front of the faelories. This thameful dua has induced she Chinefe to determine nn more tailors (hall be permitted to come up on liberty. It is generally thought the Englifh bufincfs, except the country. will all be Hopped in a day or two. The Englith, including the Lion man of war at the Becca nitric, amount to 1600 men. A few days will de cide the unfortunate bufincfs. ‘. MARCH 6.—We are every hour aU'raid of a rnp• tine between the Englifh and Chinefe, in confeqnence of the death of a Mode, from the accidental Utak: of a club, by an Englint failor. 44 The Chiaiete demanded an Englifhman to die, conformably to the laws of their crurrry, and the .Englith have refilled, being unable to find out the perfon who gave the blow. In confegnence, the Viceroy of this province, gave orders yefierday to hop their trade, and, in all probability the rev flep will be to intercept their fupplies, and feize on fome perfon of the faanty ; a ciicumtlance which mutt produce the moll fetious confegnences. • I underhand the Eighth have no obj:•6li-n to giving up a man, provid-:d they could find the guilty perfon ; and, turely,they cannntbe blamed for fporning at the idea of making an innocent man fuffer. Goo only knows how it will end ! They are allowed three more days to decide, and if they do not comply, it is thought the Chinefe will endeavour to compel them : thould they be foal!) enough to attempt the latter plan, I think they will get a found drubbing, as the Englifb have now a force at Whampoa and Bocca Trigis of 2000 able bodied men, and all eager for the atta: k." RETRACT OF A LETTER FROM AM AMERICAN CAPTAIN TO A GENTLEMAN AT NEW Y(.l[, DATED " Canton, March 6, ao7. There has been a very difagreeable fracas taken place here, a few days (ince, owing to the improper condoEt cf fome of the crews belonging to the Eng lifh Eaa India Company's fhips - , who were up at Colton on liberty, by getting into riots with the Cninatnen, which continued for three or four days, rue lives have been loft on both fides, a mandarin chop boat hauled up on the Chore; and the chop•houfe abreall of the fallcries was burnt to the ground, the confer:pence has been that firitt orders are ilTued that no tailor. tbould come to Canton, cnly barely enough to man a frnall boar. " Yeilerday all chops (!oats) of every defcripti on were flopped from the Company's !hips, and Com e o f the fecurity merchants were put in chains. A very heavy demand has been made by the Government, and only three days allowed the Company's Servants to confider of it. What the end will be we cannot judge, but the opinion is that of its being reliant. Thank Goo, the American feamen (although a good many of them were in Canton at the time of the dif. turbance) not one of them has any thing to do with it. A very favourable circumitance to the Americans." a NEW YORK, JULY d. " On Tuefday arrived at Philadelphia, the Hoop Sufannah, Captain GERRISH, from Richmond, who lays, that on Friday evening lafi, while lying at an. chor in Hampton Roads, be heard a voice hailing him, when after a fcarch, he found a man holding himfelf by the. sloop'- cahle. Captain G. with his people got him on b .ard fo eahaufled that he could not (land ; when revived he informed Captain G. that his name was William Winfield ; that he Was preffed from the fhip Fair Trader, of Philadelphia, Come time fince, when file was taken and Cent to Halifax ; that having Chipped himfelf that evening, he had fwam from one of the Bridal fitips of star, then lying about four miles off. He further inform. ed, that the Britifh (hips had come up to demand their calks of water, that the (hip he belonged to had not more than one month's water on board, though they had all fix months other provifions, and that it was (*aid on board the (hips of wa., that, if their cLman ! was refugee, they would c'elroyHamr.. ton ; for which purple, he lays, they had put a thirty-two pounder on board each of the two pilot boats they had Tome time fince purchafed ; they had alto fitted a number of their boats and barges, with f•nnr and five pounders and fwivels, and had ordered a number of picked men to be ready to man them on the fignal to be given, which he underflood would be that day. On Saturday the 4th inflant, at funzile„ Capt. G. left Hampton Roads, and about It or 12 o'clock, being then about 3o miles from Hampton, he heard leveret heavy guns, but cannot fay they they were from Hampton, though they were in that direelion. ig Captain G. farther informs, that the five Britirk fbips were lying about two miles from Hampton, being the neareQ dittance they could come to it—that the people on Chore were on the alert, and Should the Britifh be mad enough to land, it is hoped they win pay for their temerity. "The above mentioned lAAr lays, the Britifb teen, determined to take every American veffel they c.'uld meet with, that they had taken feverish and fent than to Halifax, and that they had then in company a (hip and brig from the WeR Indies, bound in. 1 1 On Monday next, Mr. FULTOI4 will exhibit the powers of his Sub-Marine Engine, on a brig of zoo tort: we promife ourfelves great utility from the in vention, or rather improvements, particularly by the aid that may be given from one of the members of our late Corporation, who was fo well fatisfied of its utility in 1797 that it is reported from high auttac.- iity, if the Revolutionary Government of France had confidered the operation hcnour:.ble, he would himfelf have nearly annihilated the Brun navy, and without doubt have amalfed a large fum, which latter by the bye was not confidered his leading motive." It is fait', that Government has received more than probable information, that South America has been transferred to BONAPAPTI by the Spanith Govern. ment, in exchange for European dominions.
