THE ARMY. At this juncture of universal joy, we hope some thing will be done to enable our veteran Half-pay Officers to join in the general le3tivity.—This may be effected by the immediate payment of all arrears o f pay. A Correspondent suggests, that on the present joy ful occasion every Officer of the Army might receive promotion or be benefited with very little expence to the Country ; by giving to the senior of every rank in every regiment, from Majors downwards, a pro motion of one step, which would only give an addi t:nnal Lieutenant-Colonel to each regiment. And, r hen it is considered that almost every regiment has Lieutenant-Colonel (and many two) with the rank of GeneralOfficers,which renders them non-effective in their regiments, this promotion would only materially benefit the service, and at this ever -memorable period ie w::rd a considerable number of meritorious Officers, who have long served his Majesty faithfully and ho flourably.—We hope the Commander its Chief will take the proposed measure into his serious consider. ation. At a General Court Martial, held at Tarog cejo on the 18th of August, and at Merida on the 27th and nth of the same month, Lieutenant LUDLOW, of the 2d Battalion of the 48th Regiment was tried— F, • being drunk on the march of the Regiment from Castello Branco, on the 2d of July. And:--For using improper language towards Ensign Pardy d u ring the march from Castello Branco, on the same day. The Court found the prisoner guilty of the first d'argc. but acquitted him of the second. and sen tenced him to be cashiered; which sentence his Majesty has been pleased tq confirm.

From an article, dated Copenhagen, September 2s, it appears that very erroneous notions concerning the occupation of this island by the British prevail in that capital. We think it right, therefore to state such additional facts as have come to our knowledge. The Margaret and Ann, and the Sally, letters of marque, belonging to a considerable house in the soap_ boiling line, in London, sailed from the Thames, in May last, for Iceland. One Jargisson (or Joruganze) a Dane, resident in London, was taken out to act as interpreter, and to aid in collecting tallow and oil at the different creeks in Iceland. In ten days the ves sels reached ,Rykavich, the principal harbour, and now the seat of Government. Count Tramp had just arrived from Copenhagen, and assumed the command of the island. An understanding was quickly esta blished, by which mutual trading was to be winked at. When, however, the cargoes of tallow were nearly completed, some persons belonging to the let ters of marque thought fit to break faith, and soddenly seized the Count and his guards, took possession of a vessel belonging to the Count, and still partly laden with his private stores, and laid their hands also on the public stores belonging to Government. Jargi::. son put himself at the head of this exploit. I-le took up his quarters at the Governor's liothe, and made some English sailors and some Icelanders parade be fore the door as guards. Hearing that a hostile party of Danes was assembled about six miles off, he moun ted his English sailors, with their drawn cutlasses, on Iceland horses, and, heading them, galloped through the morasses (their being no roads) in order to dis_ perse the party : a more motley group of cavalry (we are told, and verily believe) it is impossible to figure ! The Icelanders looked on with perfect in difference. Jargisson, elated with his success, of l,cted the pomp of sovereign power. He resolved to hoist an Iceland flag. He ordered some canvas to be died blue ; but the natives could not approach nearer that colour than a sort of dirty purple. He himself cut some bleached canvas into the shape of three cod fish, a-4 to render these insignia tziore ridiculous, if possible, he chose to imitate the split or dried fish. He got six dismounted cannon raised out of the sand on the beach, and placed on the fort. The Talh.)t sloop of war accidentally anchoring near Rykavich, her Com mander was surprised at the display of a new flag, which he could not at all match among the colours of various nations in his possession. On coming ashore, he caused the Iceland flag to be thrown down, and Fort Jargisson to be dismantled. The lvraild- he Go vernor was ordered to London ; and, at his own re quest, Count Tramp was also taken to Britain, to state his complaints. It. is not to be doubted that our Government will on this, as on every similar occasion, conduct itself with liberality and good faith.
