The few intereding articles contained in them will be found in a fubfequent column. THE EXPEDITIONS. The important continental news of the laft four days, prevented our offering the intelligence con veyed by our Correfpondents regarding the Erin ditions. We can allure our Readers, that the force for the Well Indies, which has been for the la two months detained, will now fpeedily fail. Arrangements will be concluded, which we hope to he able to idea in the Srax of to-morrow or Monday next. The tranfports are Rill lying in Falmouth Roads, with the following regiments on board, viz. the 6th Dragoon Guards, or Carabineers, two fquadrons ; the 9th Dragoons, the sth, 36th, 45th, and 88th regiments, and five companies of the sd battali‘m of the 95th, or Rifle Corps, with a company of artillery and engineers. This force will amount to upwards of scoo men, Mould they be all defined for the fame Espedit'on. In our paper of ►he tyth inf. we flayed that the 9th I.ight Dragoons had been mentioned as likely to be fent to reinforce the army in Buenos Ayres ; and we fill think that they arc defined for that quarter, and are not to form a part of the force which is etpeßed to be under the orders of Colonel Catwoutri, and which it is I elieved is intended for fume part of South America. That Officer lately vifited Falmouth, with a view, it is Paid, to make and complete all the arrangements which were re quired for the accommodation of :he troops on board the different tranfports, and to prepare them for failing. We believe he is yelled with fufkient powers to that effeet ; and we are convinced, from the arrangements already made, that no pains or ex pestle will be (pared in equipping each tranfport rsith every accommodation whirl; the troops can require during a long voyage. The comfort of troops embarked on board tranf• ports deftined for a long voyage, and particularly to an unhealthy climate, is a matter which, in many of our former expeditions, has been too often over looked ; and a minute attention to this very material point cannot but add to the name of every officer commanding an expedition. We hope that future expeditions will be equipped, as far as depends on the Officer commanding, according to the example of an Officer of fuch talent as Colonel CIiaWFURD. No expedition will ever fail with better arrangements for the health and comfort of the ttoops than the pi efent, and we troll that the expenfes incurred by the equip ment.; which is in itfelf unimportant, will be amply compenlated in the end by the healthy ftate of the troops, a matter of the utmoll importance to the Inc eels of every enrerprize. Colonel CRAWFIJID will have the rank of Brigadier General when he affnmes the command of the expedition. Se'veral line of battle flips. it is Paid, will accompany it, in addition to the frigates already under orders. Two days ego we received the fubjoined letters from two of our intelligent Correfpondents with Ge neral CRAVITUILD's expedition : " FALMOUTH, OCTOBER 16 " The failing of the expedition is Hill very uncer lain. Molt of the (mall tranfports have been changed, and the troops (hilted into large copper bottomed (hips, all of which are vielualled for a four months' voyage at leaft. General Casivrruto was here a few days ago, and immediately returned to town in con• fequence of force difpatches which he received the Dien before. It is thought, to the great regret of the troops, that his appointment to the command of this expedition is by no means certain. I hope this will not prove true, as no Officer can polka the caeca] of all rank► fo much as General Cc.iwcuan. The General was particularly attentive to the (late of the troops on hoard, and has ordered the molt liberal fupply of every reftelliment which can be 'ireful to the troops during a long voyage. The Expedition is certainly defined for Lome ditiant and daring enterprise. The General has ordered all the 05cer iadie. belonging to the expedition to bc mediately difembarked, and theyare'not to be permit ted to accompany their bun:rya& Many bong i calorie are affigned for this unexpetied order, particularly as molt of the ladies embarked with their hufbaods at Portfmooth, and' have been upwards of three months on board fhip. There can be no doubt that the General has iflued the order from the moll hu mane motives, to fare them from the unavoidable hat &hip of accompanying a war in a diftant, and perhaps unhealthy climate, where, in all likeli. hood, there will be much hard fighting and few comforts. Others allign as the cattle of the above order, the encvoachments which Office! s' Ladies 1 fometimes make on the accommtadations appropri ated to the other Officers on board fhip. Some of the Ladies were fo much affetled at hearing that they were not to be permitted to accompany their beloved Lords, that it was feared the confennences would prove fatal. Many of them having expended their IA farthing in making themfelves comfortable for the voyage, arc now fo diflreffed from this unex pelted mandate, that they will be under the ne ceffity of felling molt of their wearing apparel, in order to defray the expences of their journey from this diftaot place to fame retreat, during the abfence of their hufbands. Some of the ladies have even Routly aliened, that they have no home but their! hutbands. It is thought that Coma application will be made to Government, for a rernuneratiolito.ahi fufferers, for the loffei and expence to which they will be unavoidably fubjeaed, (bould this order be put in force. It is -thought, however, that there mull haveinett borne milinterpretation of the order, inafinuch as many Officers of snk and (creme would ' thereby be deprived of the ¶ndulgence which is granted to a large proportion of the private foldiers. The troops are all remarkably healthy, and in pule& readinefs to fail at the fhorteft notice." ANOTHER LETTER. " We are Rill here, and begin to feel the unplea• fantnefs of remaining fo long on (hip board in bar• hour. At fen, (oldiars or tailors feldrim fuller ; but neither of them can remain any time in harborsr without fuffering. When we go is now uncertain : General Caawr ua D has gone back to town, and ru mour lays, that it is unlettled if he (hall yet com• mand. We with they would give us employment any where, and under any able Officer, of which we have now fermi in the &ha fervice. There is a pretty kick•up among the married people : the General, when he came down, immediately iffued orders for all the ladies of every regiment, compoling the Ex-• pedition, to be difembarked, as they cannot be al lowed to proceed. From this we conjeiure that we are to be employed on Come dißant, dathing, and dangerous !Croke." We ardently hope that no ulterior arrangements, or any views will longer detain the army at Fal mouth, which has been fo long embarked, and may reach its deßination in a fickly Pate, if longer kept inailive in our harbours. BUENOS AYRES. We have got the journal of our correlpondent at the Cape of Good Hope, it is dated Cape Town, isth of Augufl.—ln confequence of a requifitinn from General B aaaaa ORD, at Buenos Ayres, the following force has been fent to him from the Cape of Good Hope, by Lieut. General Sir DAVID BAIRD: Pour Troops . . . loth Light Dragoons. Two Troops . . . stR Ditto. One Company . • . Royal Artillery. _ The 38th and 724 Regiments. At the particular rennet of General Blassroaud Major Taovr ea, of the 83d, a very able officer, has l been fent to him by Sit DAVID BAIRD, to aft as Deputy Adjutant General. In confevence of this pretling call for troops from the Cape, Sir DAVID BA tau has detained the 47th regiment at the Cape, which put in there nn its way to India ; and he in tended to detain other regiments from England, if they touched at the Cape. General BAIRD'S arrangement hal been a fortunate one : betwixt the very refpettable force which he has lately forwarded to General Bea a !FORD, and the re inforcement under Sir SAMUEL AUCHMUTRY, which three weeks ago failed from Falmouth, we may now feel team tor the fate of our newly acquired fettle; Ants in. South America, though two or perhaps three French fquadrms may have Ratted againft them.— We have heard General B aaaaa ORD mentioned as an aelive anti vigilant Officer, little likely to be taken by furprize.
