We understand that the Gentleman, who lately relitiqiieed to Lord BYRON the p urchase of his Lordship's patrimonial seat; is become the purchaser of a distiogoishell residence and extensive estates in Wales. It is erroneously stated, that the purchase from Lord B was made by monies vested in trust. It thoold be stated, in justice to the honourable and humane feelings of her Royal Highness the Princess of WALEs, that previous to her quitting England for the Continent, she made an arrange ment that all those domestics of her Royal Highness's household, who, on that. occasion. might be dis charged, should each receive one year's wages, and board. wages until they should procure another situa tion ; and to those faithful domestics who had been some years in her service, her Royal Highness has granted annuities for their lives.

Head-quarters, Brussels, Aug. 16, 1814. The Commander of the Forces having received his Royal Highness the Prince Regent's poi mission resign the command of this army, cannot quit hi- si. tuation without recording in General Orders his smite of the merit and conduct of the officers and soldiers composing the British corps entrusted to his direc tion. A witness of their gallantry in the field, he would ever have had implicit confidence in their con duct before an enemy, had the circumstances of the service called for a continuance of their exertions; but there is scarcely less merit in having behaved with such exemplary discipline, and with such kind at tention to the inhabitants of the countries which they have had to defend and protect. lie will be bold to say, that the conduct of these troops was never sur passed by that of any army whatever so circum stanced. It will be his pleasing task so to report of them to their Royal Highnesses the Prince Regent and the Commander in Chief, with feelings of satisfaction in the discharge of the duties of the high situation which he has held. The Commander of the Farces cannot but wish to assure the different corps composing the army, that he will ever cherish with grateful senti ments, the recollection of his having had them under his command. lie is happy to think that this army, as well as all the other troops serving in the Belgic Provinces, are placed in the hands of General the Hereditary Prince of Orange. It would be unnecessary and improper to say more of his Royal Highness than that inheriting the military talents of his great ancestors, he has been bred under the illustrious Chief, who has in the estimation of Eu rope carried the renown of the British arms still higher than it ever was at any former period.—ln the course of that career of victory, his Royal high ness has endeared himself to the whole British army. 'Under such a Commander, the troops will, either in peace or war, uphold the high name of British soldiers. The Commander of the Forces ems no doubt of the Allied troops under his command in the Belgic Provinces emulating the British in discipline and good conduct. lie regrets that circumstances hale rendered it impossible for hint to see those corps. lie has• heard with much pleasure the orderly behaviour oat he 1)••cli gar rison at Namur, under Major-General itatman.— lie trusts that the Hanoverian corps now en.rring Brabant will fellow the example of that distinguisded cavalry, which l • with their countrymen, the infantry of the Legion, have exalted the name of th. King's German Legion to the greatest pitch of glory. Ile cannot doubt of the Belgic levies ; these troops, when fostered by the care of a paternal governm will form with their brethren in arms belonging t o the United Provinces in the Netherlands, an iovin cible barrier for the defence of their own country, so fortunately rescued from the iron rod of owes sion by•the wonderful achievements of the Allies. They will rival in discipline and military prowess those chosen bands drawn from the Low Countries *bleb formed a pillar of strength to the Austrian empire, and which never went into the field but to be admired. The Commander of the forces cannot anclude this farewell address without returning his sincere thanks to all officers and soldiers of the army, sad assuring them that he will ever feel d.'eply interested in their welfare and honour. He wishes In a particular manner to express his entire ap probation of Major-General Cook and the other Of ficers from whom he has ever received such cordial support in the execution of the service; is also of Col. Graham and the other Officers of his personal Staff; of Deputy Quarter-Master•General Lord Greenock, Deputy Adjutant-General Lieut.-Col. M‘Donald, of Col. Sir George Wood, and Lieut.- Col. Smith, of the two branches of the Ordnance De partment, of Inspector of Hospitals, of Acting-Com missary-Gen. Dunmore, and Deputy Commissary General of Accounts Bayly, and Deputy Paymaster- General Sury. All of these officers, at the head of their respective departments, with the officers attached to them, have, by their diligence and utility, rendered the most cordial assistance, which the Commander of the Forces acknowledges with grateful satisfaction. He is not less indebted to Capt. Hill, of the Royal • A INA Navy, for the cordial co-operation and support which V be has on all occasions experienced front him. •fs General the Hereditary *Prince of Orange will •. please to assume the command this day. • E.

America, to take the command of the artillery. The frequent tributes of applause bestowed on our. gallant townsman by the Duke of WELLING•rott, and especially the skill and genius which he displayed in conducting the artillery at the siege of St. Sebastian, show him to be well worthy of this important trust. It affords es pecu liar satisfaction to add, as we know it wilt afford our readers pleasure to hear, that another respected townsman, Lieutenant-Col. WALKER, now of the 58th regiment of foot, has returned to visit his ire.. latives and friends, in this neighbourhood, after a long and honourable period of absence Spent in the service of his country.
