THE ARMY. In :.cnift.laci.ce of an alteration in the Artielei' (.F viar, a letter, of which the following is a Copy, ha. been fent to the Commanding Othcers of the fevetal Regiments and Corps of the Line, Militia, and Tencibles, for their information and grid ance " War-Office, ssthlVLarch, dos. • His Majelly having been pleated, in purfuance of an Ad made and paired in the prefent Seirson of Parliament, " for punifaing mutiny and defertlon, and for the better paymen t of the Army anti their quarters," to form, make, and efts blithArticks of War far the better government of his forum— ! have the honour to iodate for your information and guidance , a printed copy of the faid Ad and Articles of War; and abbe_ j ug provided and declared in the latter by the nth Arti& of t he ifith Sedion, That Regimanal Courts Martial may be held by the appointment of the Colonels or Commanding Offi cers of Corps, withers s Speed Wormed from the Xis:, H. Ober Authority, thee that if the Articles f War; and further, that Califon and Detachment Courts Martial Asap be hdd, and proceed in the nature of Regimental Courts Markt, I am to acquaint yau, that the annual Warrants heretoforecranfmit red to the Cetera) Corps of ,the Army for bolding Regimental, Carat., and Detachment Courts Martial, are now become unteccflary and will be henceforth difeontinued. I have the honour to be, &e. (Signed) the Colood or Ober cotoolutsfiaz for tie time kiog Cue e.roam: The Eaft Middlcfex Regiment of Militia have marched from ColCheficr Barracks, on their route to Edmonton, Enfield, &c. where they will be dif embodied. The Dorfet Militia is ordered to Dorchefter, lire North Hants to Winchefter. The 22d Light Dragoons, with the 24th, 18th, aid 44th Regiments of Foot, are now perform ing qnarantine off Portfmouth on their arrival from Egypt. On Monday, Tuefday, and Wcdnefday, the 3d regiment of Royal Lancafhire Militia, command. ed by Sir H. P. HoucuvoM, Bart. marched from Liverpool to Prefton, to be difembodied. Same days the sd Royal Lancafhire, com manded by Lord Srax Lsy,marched into Liverpool, where we are told they are to be difcmbodied. Tliurfday the Royal Chefhire Militia, com manded by Lord Gm, embarked in boats for Cheiter, where they are to be difcmbodicd. This regiment has been quartered at Liverpool about fixteen months, during which time their behaviour has been in general becoming good follicrs and good men. - • An order has been received to dii - embody the Eifel Regiment of Militia: and this day they marched in companies to their refpetlive divifions in the county, for that purpofe. Betides Jilanding moll of the Militia, as well the Fencibles, on the z+th of this month, the Guards will likewife fhortly be reduced to their original effablifhment, the Officers of which will be placed on half-pay ; but thole of the Militia and Fencibles will not receive any pay beyond the time they are difbanded, as was at firli imagined. The report within the Military circles is, that the Companies of the Royal Regiment of Artillery which have been the longell on foreign Service will be the firs relieved : fome of them have been twelve or fourteen years abroad. Not a fhip or a regiment but what has been at times relieved dur ing the war, yet the Artillery Companies have eonffantly continued abroad, being regularly fup plied with recruits, &c. from home. The number of troops at New South Wales is to be reduced, and a detachment of Marines is to Le aationed at that fettleinent in their place. All the French prifoaers of war at the etpol of Portfmouth, were embark;d on board fundry car tcl velfels, on Monday, Tuefday, Wednefday, and Thurfd.ty, the 1 atli, 13th, 14. th, and 15th init.— The number between three and four choufand.— The Public are much indebted to the Agent for rrifoners of War at that depot, for his t.xertions in relieving the country of fo heavy a burthen in fo fhort a 'pace of time. The Officers of artillery,on the Madras Eflablith mento mentioned as being calltiered, are not of the Royal Artillery, but belong to the Company's fer rice. Letters received from Malta, dated February sfl, Rate—" The troops in that Island to mina of five Companies of the Train, and ten Regi ments of Infantry ; with 12 fill of the line, having two flags flying, feveral fi igatcs, and about zoo fail of tranfports lying in the Mole." A Pacha,having moo men under his command, arrived at Velgoro, one day's march from Bel grade, on the 12th of lass month. He is to be joined by a very confidcrable force, with which he is immediately to proceed againa that town, in -.onjundion with the fon of the deceafed Pacha. The following trait evinces the obainate cha rader of StTIVALROW. During his banifhment to hia elates, the Emperor Pant, repenting of his order to that effed, wrote a letter to the veteran General. It was adctreffed to ‘• Field Marflial SU. ?..Autur.v." The moment he read the addrcfs, he defireal t!.e cou:i 4 r to carry back the letter. It nor (or me, (o , id he); were Soweaaow a Field :.I.ircrial, he werild not be kept prifoncr in a vil lx,gt ; h would be fern at the head of an army." Illy cornier hi rain remonarated on the rafhnefs of his determination, and was obliged to return the dig - patch unopened to the Emperor. In the neighbourhood of Odia, near Rome, t!.cre has lately been dug up a 'malt noble Rat" . nf . Achilles, nine and a half Roman palms in height, and in perfed prefervation. The hero lulls a metal lance its iris right hand, and the tar , Todaw in his left r the helmet on his head is iu!na , tinted with a large plume of feathers, refem bll'y; that of the celebrated lime of Villa Bor. which, however, is not of equal workman 111. This work, certainly one of the finea that t t . teece has produced, does not exhibit the mime of the artill ; the infcription, votive- Marti, engraven a one of the legs, proves that it had been conic rtated to the God of War. THE MARINES. As the Marines, landed at Plymouth, from the different men of war, paid off at that port, will be more in number than their own barracks will hold, the overplus are to occupy the Mill Barracks, near the Mill Prifon, by leave of the Tranfport Board, till the general dilcharge takes place, and the peace eflablifliment of that valuable corps is fettled.— The regulations for the (hips to be laid up in ordi nary there, and at the ports to the eallward, will be upon a very liberal and executive Icale, and will produce a great faring to Government, while the men of war will be kept properly dean and ventilated, and a report be made of their (late and condition, weekly, to the Port Admiral there. The men of war are to be divided into divilions of Ilx, a Captain to have the command of each divifion ; and on board each lhip there are to be a Lieute nant, Midfhipman, and fea.men in prportion. It is alto Paid a larger number of frigates will be kept up, and not to many guardfliips. We hear of nothing but fetes and mafked balls in honour of the Peace, whenever tlu.- Ratification arrives, which cannot be delayed longer than Mon day or Tuefday. For the fire time, we 111.111 a kind of Carnival in London. On Monday next a very Grand Proceffion will take place at Coventry. The public rejoicing on the return of Peace being fixed for that day, the Mayor and the different Corporate Bodies will pa rade the areas, with their firemen; and other in. fignia. In the evening the city will be illuminated: A SINGULAR CONtiCTION.—At the bite ACGzes for Cornwall, Mary Collin:, of a highway robbery, in flopping laiiies Sironimon. Mr. ADDINGTON'S Window Tax comes rather malapropos on the eve of aseneral illumination. Perpk, will not be pleated to grant his collators lo many facilities of counth Twat/ow:. According to letters from 15ereford, Mr. KIN• WAIRD has been giving the eliao;•s a :nab chin, to lee which way their tongues will wag at a general • In an Edinburgh paper of the 7th inf. is an ad vertifement of a bode king broke into, and offering a reward of Forty Guinea: for apprehending the of fender or offenders, who had Alen a leg of bed', with tome other articles, and carried e . a fear gander and go j, both of a remarkable age, king near to 5o * ears. The following is the moll ridiculous wager we have heard of :—Two Noble Lords, well known on the Turf, have agreed to run againli each other the firfi windy day on Hamfflead Heath. The one is to wear jack boot:, and to run backward:, againft the other, who is to carry a large umbrella over his head, and to run forwards. —They are both to run againft the wind. It is not furprifing to hear of young Lords walk ing backward:. It is their ufual mode when they let out to improve themfelves. A marvellous letter from Surinam Rates, that Capt. Brown, of the sth battalion of the both re giment, being out on a {hooting party upon the Surinam river, taw a large lhark near in fli-me, which he (tot at with a bow and arrow. The fiat was evidently [truck, and went down, and the next morning it was feen in a wounded Rate dole in Ihnre ; on which boats went off and brought it in and killed it ; and on opening it, to the alio nifhment of Capt. Brown,and a confiderable num ber of people, there was found in the ftomach a woman, genteelly dreffed, and entire, except her head, which had been evidently fevered from the body. A Correfpondent, who fays he was prefent in Surinam river when the aforefaid lady was refcued from the maw of the (hark, allures us farther, that the was alive at the time, and in the all of eating a piece of plum cake which (he had found by chance in her pocket ; adding, that when he left Surinam the was quite well, and had, fince her efcape, been brought to bed of a fine boy, whom the had chriftened Jonah ! PARISIAN FASH lows.—An account of fafhions is fometimes old before it fees the light, notwithfland ing the expedition ufed in its preparation. For in. Rance, we had allured the public that fa(hion had fixed leven, as the number of buttons on the lapels of a Gentleman's coat.—Good ! At the very mo ment we were printing that article, the number rote to ten with every falhionable man. There titter fupplementary buttons rife on the fhOulder, and have no other defign than to ornament the habit. As to the Ladies, the knots of their veils, in form of cravats, are mere caprices, whilfi, litre of hav ing - concealed the enchanting contours of their figure, they are delighted in difcoveriag them felves, and preventing their veils from thwarting their inclinations. Many Ladies tie their veils on their heads dank neglige, that is to fay II la Pfycke! Young perfons in particular follow this mode, which is Paid to be remarkable only for its mode fly. Modelly, that diflinguifhed charafterillic of Vir tue, enters into the manner of placing the Bandeau on the forehead, which ought to he entirely cover ed and horizontally. When it inclines more par ticularly to the left fide, this fame bandeau abfolute ly changes its emblem. It becomes the fymbol of voluptuoufnefs, in giving a feducing attraetion to the eye on which it inclines, which forces the eye into an oblique look, vulgarly called en cou/#. The thigh of a woman, who lately died in Ge neva, has been fent to the Medical Society of that city, as exhibiting a very extraordinary phenome non. It is (luck quite full of fmall thorns, which the woman, it appears, had been ,in the habit of fwallowing, and which gradually making their way through the inteftinal canal and the blood vef.

By letters from Banda, the Spice Hands fo called, intelligence has been received at the Hague of a dreadful cxplolion of the burning mountain in that illand. For (owe time before the air had been humid, accompanied by fubterranean noiles; but fo violent an explofton has not been known for many years. All the plantations were entirely de ' vaftated ; a great many inhabitants 101 l their lives, and the country, to the extent of feveral miles, • was as inundated by the lava. N.IUTICAL INTELLIGENCE.

SPORTING. A grand trotting match it intended to take place on the lilt inft.for tooognineas alilc,betMeen the noted mare Phcenomena,and the celebrated Kenti fh Polley (the ground for their performance not yet fixed upon). They are to trot the greatelt di.lance in one hour, the Mare allowing the Pones one milt at parting. The odds are in favour of the niare fix to four; and fhould the lore the match, the knowing ones will be completely t.►ken in, as tl:cy have paid 200 guineas fur her to a horfe.dcalcr, in Li: tle Britain. Yenerday morning a jew undertook to walk aye milts on the Whitecitapel road within the h•mr, for a wager of twenty guinea, carrying at tLe fame time a weight of fifty pounds. It b?c .t matter of difPute whether he had loft or won ; but itumenfe number of Jews being prefetit, they car: ied the point their own n•ay. Fox CHACE.—A bag-fox was mined out near to Mr. BA:fly's barn, before the 11rookfide Lou lids, on Thurlday lati, which liar hard running and de.- • termined fixed, by fir exceeded any chace the fea fon has produced. The weather being panic's lady favourable for filch an amufement, upwards of fixty horfemen took the field by eleven o'clock; when Reynard, being expoled to his purfuers, went off in a capital llyle, taking a northern direaion for better than a mile, when, turning to th , .• left, he crolfed the hills of Newmarket and Barden, and 'made away for Rottingdean, where, the dogs be ing hard at his Null', he, quickening his pace, de fcended Rottingdean Gap, and wining off to the right, ran nearly three miles on the beach. At length,reaching Greenway Cap. he reafcended the cliff, and made away for Mr. Ktrer's plantation at Ovendean ; but finding the plantation too hare of cover to anfwer his purpofe, and being clofely preffed by the do7s, he took through Mr. Times furr.e field, croffed over to Whitehawk•hill, ling the fignal !mule, and th:n on for Bevenden bottom, where being thwarted in his coutfe by a thefherd's dog, h: pufhed for Mr. Poott.'s plan tation at Hodfhrove, and from thence to Lord Pk Imam's, at Stanmer, where he continued until the dogs came up. Reynard having by this [hart refpite recovered his fleeting Ilrength, as the dogs approached, neatly threadled the cover, and again fet off' in a gallant ftyle, palling through the village of Falmer to Crandean Hedges, and then on to Kingfton Comb. Many of the horfes were by this time fo extremely fatigued front the leverity of the chafe, that they could no longer continue the purfuit ; whilft others, of better bottom, silafhed flit ward, regardlefs of danger and difficulties.— Reynard, from Kingllon Comb, took the whole length of Kingftondlill, crofh:d by Kinglion, and then made away for Telfcmnb, where being headed, he turned brifkly off to the left fur Southeafc.---' Moft of the remaining horfes, that were enabled until this time to keep the fi_ld, now divided, and croffed the Oufc by the to idges.of Southeafe and Lewes, not doubting but Reynard would take to the water. In this conjeaure, however, they were deceived, for Reynard, having croffed the brook to the liver fide, kept dole to the dams, and v.t length entered the ozier-plot belonging to Mr. SPENCE, where, being quite exhaulled, the dogs ran in upon bins and killed him, after a moil gal hint chace of nearly four hours. Mk. H. NEwm- HAM, of Newtimber, who had kept up to the hounds, leaping every ditch, and, like a true foortf man, boldly furmounting every impediment that prefented itlelf, from the onlet to the dole of the chace, was the only perfon in at the death, and polkaed himfelf of the well earned honour of the bruth. Fizes.—The inhabitants of Chelmsford were much alarmed on Friday night by the cry of fire, which was difcovered to be at the bottom of New.. ilreet, where tome villain had f;t on fire, in fe.verel places, the thatch upon a cow-houfe, belonging to Mr. Clachar, who having occation to come into the town about that hour, very providentially ob ferved fotne Imoke to ;line from behind the build ing on fire ; and b.y his exertions kept it fo much under until he received aliillance, that .t h , ! flames were extinguithed without doing any material da.- ma e. On Saturday evening lafi, about nine o'clock, a fire broke out at the work•houfe at Clipping Ongar, and in a (hart time nearly the whole of the building was dellroycd. It was occafioned by a fpark from a chimney on fire on the oppofite fide of the itreet communicatingwith the thatched root. On 'f uefdayfe'nnight,between eleven and twelve o'clock, a fire was difcovered on the prcmites be longing to Mr. BRUCE, at Pylawfoot, near Kelfo. Owing to the want of water, it was a contiderabia time before the calamity was got under, and not until the dweliinghoufe, two cow-houfes, a 1i71,1e, and two barns, were burnt to the grcund. The fire-engine arrived from Kell() between one ;Intl two o'clock ; but, owing to the want of a flpply of water, it was of little ufe. The public have an interca in being informed, that the violent pains, contracted tendons, and ute lefs limbs, arifing from Rhcnmatifms, are capable of perfeet cure. The following ktter fron► a Gen tleman of the Bank of England, contains a very extraordinary Mttance of this kind, that deferves to be generally known : TO Mt. C A4DN ER, LONG-ACK L.
