on= I THE EXPEDITIONS. ... An Officer who goes out sith the troops es barkeci at Portfasouth, and which arc to jiin the forcc af fembliog at Falmouth, writes us as follows : PORTSMOUTH, OCTOBER b. After remaining fo long at this place. I am happy to be on board Stip, not to go on Amore again hen; we are ME this evening. Our force as follows: Oee Compeer at the Royal AnMay. Two Seminal el tie arablorm, commoded ►y Llettnant Coked IL Noma. yth toot, easatewled h 1 Lintenet Colollel Dane. comirmailed by Lienteowit Colonel llaonr.

Mr. Tatou glow, Deputy lafrater of Horpitsk. a The wind is fair, and we hope to be in ral mouth in two days. The 79th, and two more re giments join us there, and we go to South America to maks freth 4:sigmas for this country, and make ear fortunes—oor men will achieve any thing. To , our general regret, Brigadier. General Cocusit., our ell Lieutenant Colonel, does not go with us, he has got a command in another quarter. There never went from the country. on any fervice, three finer regi ments, better appointed, in higher difcipline. or better sneered. than the sth, 36th, and 88th regiments : you have a right to eapeft every thing from us, let nor delfination or fervice be what it will. Thefe fine regiments, the tith, both, and 89th, to their deep regret. remain behind us at Portfmonth." ARMY. Some of the late movements of troops puzzle mi litary men not a little. A few weeks ago, the Bays, by emelt, went by forced marches from Dorchefler to Plymouth, and were embarked, with their horfes after remaining Come time on board, they were laft week cried? , re-marched to their old curter. in Doffedhire. On Sunday laR two fguadrons (of the fame defcription of troops, heavy cavalry) of the Carabineers, were, by forced marches, Cent to Poo tf. mouth, and embarked in temporary tranfporu.— They go to Plymouth to be rellipped, probably into the tranfports occupied by the Bays. It is Rill not improbable, but that both the Blues sad the Scotch Greys may be wanted ; the former, who have volunteered, are at Windior, the Greys arc at York. Colonel Ceewroart, front reentering the army, is the jnoior of fo many regimental Officers, that fosse difficulty eecurs as to the regiments which accompany him. The Colonel goes in a diplomatic as well as in a military capacity. _ - - - Nearly tco recruits have been obtained for Sir Gsoaas Pasena's battalion of the both regiment, of German conferipts from the Banks of the Rhine, from the prifoners lately captured in the four French frigates. The four German regiments, who have been Co long on fhip-board at Portfmouth, have been ordered to difembark, and march to 'Modena. This dots asot look like troops being fent to the Continent. After the receipt of the difpatehes by loft Meffenger fano France, orders were fent down to Portfmouth, Plymouth, and Falmouth, for all the expeditions to fail, by Telegraph. This thews alertncfs in our Mining. THE NAVY. A great firing commenced on the French coati on Wednefday night, at eleven o'clock, and continued till three o'clock yetterday morning. During the whole time the coon near Boulogne appeared fre quently in a blaze. As there has been no arrival from the oppofite (Lore, we are not able to account for the caufe of thiszremendous firing, but it is fup. poled that our Lips were throwing rockets at the Flotilla in Boulogne harbour. it is reported in our letters from Plymouth, that the fquadron under the command of Rear Admiral Louis, was a few days fince left in Chace of two French Chips of war; and that the Tarawa, of 74 guns, one of the fquadron, has been (poke with, after having feparated from them. The French Commodore's (hip la Moire coming into harbour prefented a molt animating fight at Pot dmouth ye flerday. When this battered (hip, torn in her hulk,rigging, and fails, pared the faluting battery with the Englifh ever the French enfign, the immenfe crowd collelled, rent the air with hnzzas, which were repeated from our brave tars, who brought in the Frenchman. Our Readers will be delighted to hear that the gallant hero, Sir SAII4OII. HOOD, continues to do very well; he is fill at Ride, in the Ifle of Wight. and hopes his Rump will be foot; fo well as to per. mit him to proceed on the fervice, intended for him and Colonel Caowroan to South America. Sir Smausz was wounded by a markfman in the fltrouds of la Gloire, in the fame way that the ever• to-be-lansented Nassna was. Yelterday a fine RulEan fleet, confilliog of four Lips of the line, with frigates and Coops of war, came to anchor at Spithead, to proceed from thence to the Mediterranean, and co-operate with our naval and military force there. This is the Orange fleet of which we made mention a few days ago. They are laid to have about 4000 troops on board, EGYPT. Of this intereßing country, we can gain but little , information from the foreign journals, or even by letters diree from Conlantinople, great pains being taken by the Porte to fopprefs all intelligence relating to its true Rate. The following intelligence, derived from a private, but authentic foam, will therefore be received with the more intereft : In the beginning of Jane, Oswalt Bev Boaosssr, Isaaivis Bay, and the ref of their party, were in poffefLon of all Upper Egypt. EIJI Bar bad the Saiume, and the whole of the left bank of the Nile. from Smart to the neighbourhood of- Rofetta. He had befieged Dananour, then retired, and again re. turned to the liege. His Arabs advanced to the cut made by the Englifh between the Lakes of Aboukir and Mareotio, and flopped all fupplies of provifions for Alezandria, till the Governor of that place was obliged to make a treaty with Us:, by which a free communication took place between the camp and the town. ELet was fupplied with clothing and every thing he wanted. The Puha blooms ID ALI is at Cairo—his Albanians are in a Rate of mutiny : he cannot pay them : they therefore plunder every thing. I FOREIGN JOURNALS. We have received the liesesdurtb Correhossikst, of the t l inilant, which is one day later than the papers brought regularly by the Mail. We have already Bated, that the head quarters of the Klan of Num& were to be removed from Nauenburgh to Hof. This has been effeßed. The Pruffian troops, under the command of Prince HONtIILOIIII, crated the Elbe in three places, and reached without difficulty the point defired. This activity befpeaks a vigilance of preps. ration,from which every thing is to be expeeled.—An Auflrian Army of Oblervation is collelting at Prague. and another, confining chiefly of cavalry, on the frontiers of &hernia. The French are concentrating themfelves between Wurtzburgb and Schweinfurt. The Bavarian Envoy is about to leave Berlin. Thus far every thing leads to the belief of an immediate eolhfion. PARIS PAPERS To the dale of Tuefday LA. the 7th law. have alto been received. Bo AAAAA Ts left Mentz on the ill inßant for Wurtz. burgh, where the French troops were to ►e affembled by t►e 4th inßant. This does not look as if the ne. gociations with Praia were likely to be continued M. KIIOIICLIDOCII. we hare little doubt, if gone to the head quarters of the Pruffian army, and not to Mentz. M. LasoasT, at Berlin, had Aced and ob. tained bis paffports, though on the 27111 he had not left Berlin. The Paris papers appear a little anxious about the conduet of Aufiria. but they taut that the Court of Vienna ba. given the molt politer. affurances of its determination to remain neutral. A letter from ?reaction far, " We regard the military meafnres adopted by A ußria as a confequenee of th;s determination." In the mean time, however, the French retain Brannan, and art making no pre. parations for leaving it. The Aultrian prifoners, on the other hand, are allowed to return home. Twenty three thou:had have reached the &Arian territory out of 33,000. Neverthelefs, the French Covens meat deems it prudent to lea►e a large force to watch the motion► of Maria. Marfhal Sou LT'S corps, and part of L 'l, is Rationed in the neighbour. hood of Ingolaadt for this purpofe. Some letters from Suabia and Bavaria, Rate that the Bavarian troops will sa as the Corps of Obfervation, while SOOLT'S joins the grand army. 131IllIADOTTI'S corps, which was at Anfpach, has marched towards Saxe Cobourg and Memingen. Marital Burnie& bad left Mouich, and was expeeed at Virurtzburgh, to meet B . From the proximity of the two armies, it is highly probable, that unlefs an adjuft meat fpeedily takes place, holtilitias would commence early in Oftber. It was on the 7th of Oftober laR year, that the campaign began between the French and Auftrians. The PrufGans, it appears, are pretty nearly ready to give or receive the attack. The number of their forces, however, it is not eafy to afcertain. A letter from Drefslen lays, that 70,000 had patted through Saxony, towards the frontiers. The Saxons are 25,000 along. The Monikur boats of the promptitude with which the ennfcription has been executed in the different departments, and of the good difpoStions of the re cruits. This anxiety to thew the activity of Come de• partrnents is doubtlefs meant as a ninthlus to others. To Phew, however, that the 'mature is felt as very op. prefLve, fuch is the eagerneft of all claires to avoid its operation, that numbers of (windier, have railed great futos by pretending to have inured to procure exemp tions. By a proclamation dated the 3d of Ottober, the Minifter of Police cautions the public againa this fraud ! Not oithfiaadingthe appearances of war,the French funds do not fall.

FUNERAL OF MR. FOX. The Funeral of Mr. Tor trick place this afternoon, agreeably to the arrangement of which we gave an account yenerday. Exallly at two o'clock, the Pro teflon began to move off from the Stable-yard, St. James's ; whence it proceeded along Pall-Mall, and pan White Lan. towards Wenminner Abbey. It was near four before it reached the Abbey ; where, and indeed all the way thither, every thing was conduffed with a folerrinity altogether furt.able to the melancholy occaam. The five French frigates lately captured are or dered to be immediately futveycd and putchafed fur the ufe of the Navy. A letter from an Officer in the Mediterranean, by 1 1 the Camel, arrived on Sur.day at Spitbead, data tbc enemy's force as follows;—At Cadiz, ready for fean Spanifh, s three decker, and 6 two d e cker, ; French, s two deckers and s frigate ; total, ready for fea, fail of the line and s frigate ; fitting, a two deckers, and s frigate, and s line of battle flap, and t frigate; total in preparation 7 fail of the line and a frigate, —At Cartbagena, 2 three deckers, 6 two deckers, 2 frigates, and s corvette, ready fir fea—At Toulon, 3 two deckers, 3 frigates, and a corvettes—At Ve nice, fitting. 2 two deckers, s frigate, S corvettes, a galliots, and about 120 gun boats.

Mr. Rienaansos, who was flint by Baron Host 'ascii, is by no means confidered to be out of danger: the wound, within a day or two, baying exhibited unfavourable fymptoms. RICIMITIIIO SII•ICII.—Some doubts have arifen with rept& to the N tire which lately appeared in 7!e London G atm,. relative to the Recruiting Service, we take much pleafnre in Rating, for the information of the Half-pay Officers of the Line, that it is abfulutcly incumbent on them to fend in their names in ccn fortuity thereto. It is optional only on the part of thole heretofore in the army, aad who have (ince retired. With fueh, the order in queltion amounts to nothing more than an invitation. The mode, how ever, of forwarding propofals, in either cafe, is by letter, and not in perfon, to Colonel Gomm, the Commander in Chief's Secretary. A bond, we un. derßand, will be expeCted from fuch as go upon that Crevice, and are not upon the Half pay ; which will be difpenfed with in favour of thole who are, as their half-pay will be rendered fribjea to the condi tion. of their engagements. The terms of recruiting,' under the order which lately appeared in 713 L melon Gazette, are Paid to be an allowance of five guineas to' ' the Officer, to cover all his erpeaces on each man's being paired and approved. He is likewife to be a Serjeant. Printed inftruetinns on the fubjeet will be Rued from the War Office, in the coorfe of a few days.
