Similar reinfOrcements have lately .sailed for the other Corps stationed at Guernsey and Jersey. Soon after General Vox took tl►e command in ireland, an order we. understand was issued prohi biting the Military from wearing their 'side.arins. The consequence was that the Soldiery were not only Insulted, but it was hardly safe for them to tip. pear in the streets, and We believe they were re. stvrtd. It cannot be on acettunt of the want of Arms that Government have resolved to reduUe the Vo . . lot admitting that they have not at present a single rmisqttot in .store, we arc well assured that twenty thousand might be manufaetured in a week, which would constitute a supply perfeetly. equal to every demand for arms. , A Committee of the Corps, a few of whoid'ment. t , irrs were in an affray at Mortlake:o4:oe 201 . -lilt.

In the lat. of r 6 deg. S. the. Company's ship the Elphinstore passed a line of battle ship under French colours ; she had carried away all her , top.masts, By the latest account s . by letters from off Brest, it appears that the French Squadron in the outer road still continue there, and in sight of the British in shore Squadron, manoeuvre their ships daily in furling, unfurling, and handing sails, exercising great guns, and small arms, and manceuvering occa. sionally with their Banpards, or large Gun.vessels.

All , the' Foreign Ambassadors, and other persons of distinEticin, dined with the Imperial f am ily a t Peterhoff: in the evening were a public matiquerade and supper. The garden was superbly a n d' the w a ter works played—at least 30,000 per. lone Were in the garden in the evening, anti" 7000 at the masquerade. At I r 'o'clock the Imkerial Fa - clly, after &tieing roulia the garden, appeared at It balcony, whence there was a view of the sea, orOVhich lay five . yachts finely illuminated, the Middld 'one with the initials _of the E m press, in coloured lamps. At the st - iir4 moment two air. balloons, of transparentlfe; ruse from the, edge of the water; sparks of fire fell from thelower'nne, and suddenly a beautiiiii 'f rework arose from the , gondola ; at length the lower ball oon look fire, t h rew f ort h a fl a ming shower t.f various colours, and then set on fire the balloon which floated above, and a sudden explosion destroyed both.

The Corp 3 mustered to the amount of 700. Having continued on the ground till nearly eight o'clock, they then marched to their Parade, Dufour's Place. Here Lord AM HERST addressed the Corps, and communicated the Thanks of the House of Commons, as contained in the Sr EAKER'S Letter, a printed copy of which, he informed them, should be posted up in their quar ters, for the information of those who might not have perused it. • His Lordship then acquainted them, that he felt pleasure in being enabled to state, that the ap. prehensions which he ha'd expressed on a former day, of their number being reduced, were now removed, in consequence of a system which Was in agitation, though not yet brought to maturity. He could, however, inform them, that all those enrolled pre. vious to the 22d of June would be retained, and that all who had offered themselves since that pe. riod, would also be received, subjea, however, .to providing their own arms, and liable to the Mi. litia, Army of Reserve, &c. These duties, he hoped, would not operate as sufficient discourage ments to prevent the Corps from continuing to. gether, but that they would remain, as at present, upwards of tOOO men, completely armed and equip ped. He had also to inform them, in consequence of a communication which he had from Lord HAR. R INGTON, that the Corps was to be inspetted, he believed, on that day fortnight.

As I have found that many Volunteer Corps formed in this County have proceeded upon the ida4 :that their numbers were not limited by the K two's approval of their proposals, I take the liberty of troubling you witl,rthis Letter,to request that you will furnish me, with a s littleilelay as possible, with an accurate return of the establishment of the Corps under your command, distinguishing the Field and Staff Officers, if any, and speejfying the number of Troops or Companies, with the established proportion of Officers, N On.com mission. ed Officers, Drummers, and Privates in each, together with the number of Supernumeraries at present enrolled in or attached to your Corps, in a separate column. I think it necessary to apprize you, that without the King's approbation previously obtained, the Corps must not be ex tended beyond the number for. which the, King's permission has been already granted ; at the same time I have reason to hope that no objedion will be made to the addition of Super. numeraries (when applied for) to established Corps, provided it is perfedly understood, that they will be entitled to no Exemptions, and will put Government to no expence of any kind. I am, &c.. „ SCOTT frITCHFIELD. On an application being made to Lord HonztaT on the subjett of training men to arms on Sunday, his Lordship has said, that provided Volunteers ex. ercise on two days in the week (though one of them, should not be Sunday), they will be entitled to one clay's pay : but that it would be necessary for the Commanding Officer to Make an application,. through the Lord Lieutenant, to the Secretary of State, for the alteration of the day of exercise from Sunday to another day, in order that he might receive the al. lowance of pay for the Corps under such circum stances.

IN the night of the 7th inst. a French Courier from Constantinople passed through this City, who had been sent off by General BRUNE, on the aoth of July, with Dispatches for Paris, for which capi tal he will continue his journey with all possible speed.
