They must constantly appear in their proper uniforms dur ing their stay, and must, in evert• particular, conform to the regulations and discipline of the garrison. This order applies equally to Officers, who, after embarkation, may occasionally obtain leave to land from their vessels. In all cases where Officers obtain for themselves the means of proceeding to join their regiments on foreign service, or where they do not embark under the immediate orders of a General, or other Officer by whom regular reports are made, they are required to report to the Adjutant-General, the day on which they embark, and the name of the vessel in which they take their passage. They are to make similar reports to the Officers commanding the depots of their regiments, through the Adjutant-General, in order that they may be correctly ac counted for in the Regimental Returns. General and Staff Officers, etnbarkinj for foreign stations, are to report to the Adjutant-General the day on which they embark, and the titan! of the vessel in which they take their passage. E tST DEVON LEGION YZOMANIIY CIV A LIIY. Ilea:I-quarters, ifoniton, Aug. 26. R. o.—The Regiment will assemble, in marching order, in a field adjoining the Iloniton Turnpike Road, near Weston Bridge, on Monday, the t23d of September next, at twelve o'clock at noon, to perform six days training- and exercise, ex clusive of the days of arrival at, and departure from, head quarters. By order of Ctiloncl Sir John Kennaway, Bart. JAMES BASLEIGII, Captain. HALET Et-Fr:snits TIIREAT.—Our papers have lately borrowed from the German Gazettes a statement which requires explanation. It has been said that lIALET EFFENDr, the Sultan's favourite, declared to Lord ST RANG rottp, that if a new Russian Ambassador should arrive on board an armed frigate, he would be fired upon by the Turkish forts. This in. timation of Valet Effendi has been called insolent, but it is no such thing. The German journals, it appears, are not aware , , that after the truce of Bucharest, in 1812, Baron Strogonotl; who was appointed by the Emperor Alexander Ambassador to Constantinople, wished to revive an old pretension which had been assented to in the reign of Peter the Great. Ile accord ingly entered the port on board of a frigate, notwithstanding the regulation which forbids any foreign armed vessel from passing under the walls of the Seraglio. lie was saluted with a heavy cannonade. Fortunately the frigate was not struck, and did not return the fire, so that the a ff a i r was passe d over without further noti ce . he observation of Ilalet Effendi to Lord Strangford doubtless proceeded from a wish to prevent the repetition of such an occurrence.—( Frencit Paper.) DovEn, SETT. IS.---His Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON, accompanied by Lord CHARLES FITZROY, arrived at Watotrt's Hotel and Ship Inn, at S o'clock last evening ; and this morning, after breakfasting, embarked on board his Ma jesty's steam-packet the Arroyo, which sailed for Boulogne, the wind blowing too hard to reach Calais. A salute was fired by the guns at the heights at day-break, and another on his Grace's embarkation ; and his Grace was loudly cheered by the populace on the pier -heads. Sailed also the Medusa, steam vessel, for Boulogne. Arrived the Dasher, steam packet, Henri IV., French packet, and the Union, from France. The Earl of WAILIVICK arrived at WittGirr's Hotel this evening, on his way to the Continent, from London. A paragraph has appeared in several of the Papers, stating that " the Earl of CLA.swILLI INI has resigned the Private Secretaryship at the Foreign Office. It is said the Noble Earl signi fied his intention of so doing the moment it be came probable that Mr. CANNING was to be the new Principal Secretary 1" In the first place Lord Cc kNIVILLIAM was not Private Secretary, but under Secretary of State ; and we feel con vinced the second part of the above statement is as false as the first. In fact, his Lordship stood exactly in that situation w hi c h i nvar i a bly c h anges on the entrance of a new Secretary of State.— (Morning Post.) Yesterday the whole of the Foreign Ambas sadors and Ministers in town paid visits of con gratulation to Mr. Secretary CANNING, at his Office, in Downing-street, on his being appoimed Secretary of State for the Foreign Department. The Ist of October is said to be the day for which the Extraordinary Cortes of Spain are convoked. A vessel is ordered to sail from the Downs for Antwerp to take on hoard the Duke of CLA RENCE'S carriages on or about the 29th inst. and to proceed with them to Deptford. From this circumstance s it is presumed their Royal High nesses the Duke and Duchess intend to return to England before the winter. THE A CCIDENT ON THE THAMES.-Neither of the bodies of the three young men who were drowned off the Red House, at Battersea, has, as yet, been found, although the river has been dragged up and down from Vauxhall-bridge to Putney. As soon as Bean's brother heard of his der.th, he fainted, and it was a length of time before he recovered ; when Buchan's brother heard of his death, he said he could not help it, and that he could not afford to pay any thing towards his burial. The family of Marks are in the greatest grief, and have offered a reward for the finding of the body. A coffin was dug up last week in the parish churchyard at Leeds, which contained nothing but coals and stone. RESPECTING OFFICERS EMBARKING FROM TIIE UNITED Officers, on their arrival at any sea-port, for the purpose of embarking, are immediately to report themselves to thz Gene ral or other Officer in the command of the troops (if of a rank superior to themselves), and to consider themselves under his command until they sail. THE MARKETS.

The market was well supplied this morning, particularly in Oxen left over from last INlontlay's market, which met with very heavy sale.

The nuptials between Philip Pusey, Esq., and Lady Emily Herbert, second daughter of the Earl of Carnarvon, are ex pected to be solemnized next week, at his Lordqaip's seat in Berks. NEW CAnnt.soEs.—Mr. Montagu, of Montagu House, Portman square, has just launched a singularly elegant and neat coach. The body is painted a dark green, and simply de_ corated with the family arms nn a wreath, with silver raised crest, at the roof. The carriage is painted of the same colour, with compass springs. The lining a drab.—There are several new carriages now finished for the Right Hon. George Canning, which were built for the pageantry of the Oriental Court.—.t very elegant barouche has been finished for the Duke of Man. cheater, which his Grace takes with him to Jamaica. Mr. llouvr us, who was many years the eader of the Band at Covent. Garden Theatre, and since at the English Opera House, where he now acts in the same capacity, retires wholly from the musical profession at the close of the present season. This gentleman and his wife, who was so long an ornament of the stage as an excellent actress as well as a first rate singer, have always held a high arid merited reputation in private life. f t must, therefore, he regretted when persons of sire!) talents and character leave the public service. But " wisdom's triumph is well-tim'd retreat." CAM RR I rfli E,S;EPT. 9.—('rit THEATRE.)—OIIr theatrical season commenced on Monday last. The changes in the company since the preceding year have been unusually great, no less than twelve new candidates for public fa vour having made their appearance on the first and second nights. --- Many of these are performers of considerable merit, and their exertions have been rewarded with strong marks of approbation from respectable audiences. We have not room to enter into a comparison of their respective ta lents with those of their predecessors, several of whom had long occupied distinguished places on these boards. In two or three instances, it must be allowed, the change is not for the better ; the superior excellence, however, of some of the new performers is so decided, that upon the whole we consider the company to be more attractive than it has been for a number of years. The first appearance of Miss WENSLEY, before a Cambridge audience, on Tues day evening, in the character of Rosa/led, in As You Like It, was in the highest degree successful ; indeed, the delightful and interesting manner in which this lady sustained tire cha racter could not, we imagine, have been excelled by any actress at either of the metropolitan theatres. The revival of the practice of a dance and a song between the play and farce, seems to give general pl..'asure. 3liss SPINA LI, as a scientific and elegant dancer, elicits no small share of ap plause ; and in Mr. .1. SLO MAN we have a comic singer, un rivalled on these boards, and scarcely to be surpassed on any stage. Not only do the cods demand repeated encores, hut pit and boxes join heartily in the call, and the whole house is kep in a roar of laughter by his irresistible and exquisite humour. The English actors continue their representa• tions at tire Theatre De la rue Chantereine.-- Thoqgh the spectators hitherto have not been numerous, the audience has at least been select, and composed of persons capable of judging of the merits of an English Theatre, and of appre ciating the superiority of our own. Tragedies and Comedies are alternately performed. Some of the actors are really distinguished for talent. —( Paris Paper.) llENErtct.tr, AND EXTENSIVE LEGICY.—JOIIN 3PLACIII.AN, Esq. formerly teacher of the Mathematics in Glasgow, who died in spring last, in Calcutta, has bequeathed a handsome Legacy, supposed to be about Twenty Thousand Pounds, the residue of his fortune, for the establishment of Free Schools in this City, for the Education of Male and Fe male Children of poor Highlanders residing in and about the city, and supplying hooks and stationery to those who are not able to purchase them. We have seen an extract from Mr. M‘Lachlan's Will. The trust is confided to the Lord Provost and Magistrates of the City of Glasgow, the Ministers and other Members of the General Church Session, and the Mini sters arid Managers of the Gaelic Church or Churches of the said City, for the time being, and to their successors in office for ever. The Boys, besides a grammatical knowledge of the English Language, are to be taught Writing, Arithmetic, and Book-keeping —the Girls, besides a proper knowledge of the English Language, Writing, and the first five common Rules of Arithmetic, are to be instructed in Needle-work, and ',itch other useful employments as may enable them to gain an honest living after leaving school. This interesting circum stance was communicated to Rowand Ronald, Esq. of this City, lately of Calcutta, in a letter dated Calcutta, March 16, 1822.—( (;/asgoa , Courier, Sept. 17.) PRICE OF PORTER.—We copy the following paragraph, in the hope that the London brewers will be induc ed to imitate their Dublin brethren :—" Tlie porter brewers of Dublin have at length yielded to the general demand for a re duction in the price of that article. At a meeting on Saturday they fixed it at I/. 17 s . 6d. per hhd. to the retailers, whi c h w ill enable them to sell i t a 3d. at quar t, w ith th e same profit as hitherto.

A Mr. TAnmA.N, late of the Navy, has invented a rope, math from raw hides, and found infinitely stronger and more durable than those manufac tured from hemp. A Patent is about to be granted, it having met the approbation of many nautical gentlemen and rope-makers, when shewn the other day at Lloyd's. One of the Bristol stage coaches was over turned on Wednesday last, between that city and Bath, by which accident a passenger of the name of Hambleton was unfortunately killed upon the spot.

Two or three sighs when you've wasted :7mir tears, Two or three bums when the chaplain appears; Two or three squeezes when the hand's given away, Two or three coughs when you come to "obey:" Two or three lasses may have by these rhymes, Tw•o or three little ones—two or three times.

A French writer relating that the great Duke of MAnr.nonotiGn broke an officer, translated it by reu:, " broken on the wheel." GENTEEL APPELLATION.—Dr. D.tvr sny'S the name of the officer, who commanded the drummers and trum peters of the King of CANDY, was " Tumboroo-Aurarr.pct too-t•rito-mahatn-diranz-nihami." The names of several of our trades are now be come obscure as to the reason of their appellation, by means of the synecdoche, or the putting the whole for a part, for whet were formerly general names of trades, are at this day appro priated to particular branches. Thus a stationer is now ono that sells paper, pens, &c. but formerly meant any one that kept a station or shop. A mercer is now one that sells silks and stuffs but formerly was any merchant. A grocer is one that sells tea, sugar, &c. but formerly implied any large dealer. MERCANTILE SIT/PPps-G. SEPT.

DAVIS'S STRAITS WHALE FISHERY. Abstract of the Journal of the Ship ;:reese arrived at Hull on the 12th in s t an t, f rom t h e Davis's Strait; Fishery, as kept by the Surgeon of the said ship • " The Brunswick's ship company was mustered on the sth of March, sailed on the 7th, and was anchored at Strom-. ness on the 13th. We got tinder way the following morn ing, and beat oat of Iloymouth with the wind. blowing fresh from the W.N.W. On the 7th of April we w becalmed off Cape Farewell. At noon. on the 12th, We Were in lati nide, by meridian observation, 60 (leg. 40 min. N. and V. deg. 45 min. W. by dead reckoning. A stream of ice and several icebergs were seen from the deck. On the 19th wa were as high up the Straits as Wyberyord, in the district of' Holsteinburg, where we were detained (ivaitineeha . .breaking up of the ice to the Northward) till the morning of the 2fith, when we experienced fresh breezes from E.N.E. Two Esquimaux (whom the Governor very kindly allowed to ac company us) acted as pilots the length of Smith Bay Island, where they left us, leaving a favourable impression on or: minds of their accurate knowledge of the coast. On the 2d of May all hands were employed towing and werping the ship through ice, leading from Dog to Whale Islands, and the Island of Drisco. Several white whales weee seen, hut none of the black species. On the 3d, 4Ji, and several black whales were seen, hut we were not so fortunate as to harpoon any one of them. On the Ur we spoke the Cam brian of hull, then clean. The two ships attempted to enter South East Bay in the hopes of falling in with the fish, but after standing some tune in that direction, the passage was discovered to be choaked up with ice. The ships then tacked and stood off to the westward. On the 9th, the gull seeeies became un commonly numerous ; the Larus:llisa, L'Arcticus, end La Glancus. It was, I think, the prevailirg opinion among the masters of the different ships now with us, that the ice to the southward was much lighter than that which they had seen in tOrmer years ; owing to this circumstance it Was ex pected that the barrier of ice which extended from the north end of Drisco to the westward, would form little or no impediment to the progress of the ships northward this year; accordingly we ran to the northward along Drisco, with the Albion and Cambrian in company, to ascert tin the • . a -t; but ta our great mortification, on the morning of the 11th, the harrier was seen as compact and as solid as in former years.. We again put about, in order to beat to the southward. On the 12th, we were again at the south end of Drisco; the Albion and Cambrian attempted to force a passage into South-east Bay, but were completely frustrated by the compactness of fhe —At noon on the 15th, the ice seemed to be in motion, and apparently drifting in a solid body to the southward,: we tooa advantage of mooring to an icebe rg, in order to allow the flaws to drift past uc. At one o'clock, P.:11. the ('ambriaa harpooned a whale, which took . into the pack. and short)! afterwards came up along side of us, when our beats argil the Aihion's assisted to kill her. We got through this blockade on the 21st, after sustaining some heavy blows ie , boring through the pack (ice). It fell calm at noon, all hand,: were therefore called to man the boats and commence towing northward. At two in the mor n i n g o f the `22d, we passed Par Island Point, and in the evening were ih -the open of N:E. Bay our latitude at noon 70. 45. On the 24th.we seemed to be in the headquarters of the whales, and were fortunate enough tp cat). tore two, the length of whalebone' measuring 9 ft. 4 in. in time first one, and 9 ft. 10 in. in the other, • •We then moored to art iceberg, for the purpose of fli nc hi age we k ept p l ying about in .thilatitude till the 29. h, when we succeeded ill harpooning another whale; but in the capture of this One,' I'have to Mtn - en t the death of a brave seaman, whom she struck with the fork of her tail. Three other men were hurt achhe same time, but they recovered. On the 6th of June a dead fish was seen by one of the loose harpooners from the mast head we suc ceeded in securing her as a prize ; the bone measured Ila feet ; this was the last whale we saw during the •season. — Early in the morning of the 10th, we were up with that barrier of ice which lies off Faeroe Islands, and were un der the necessity of lying-to to await its opening ; but a few hours soon relieved us, and the ships that were in coin. piny with us, from the anxiety which the blockade occa sioned. On the I Ith we got into the water, and about two a. at., on the morning of the 12th, the lowering aspect of the western horizon indicated an approaching gale. At three our conjectures were verified by the presence of one of the heaviest gales of Wind ever remembered by the oldest seaman in Davis's Straits. ' On the 23d we were abreast of Duck Islands, Sugar-loaf Hill, bearing south. Here another blockade was formed. We made fast to the flaws, for the pur pose of waiting its opening. The flaws separated a little on the 4 5th, when we entered the channel of water caused thereby, but did not gain more than two miles north. 'd'e again moored to the flaw, the Active, Hero, Bon Accord, Lady Forbes, Wil liam, Cato, and others in company. E a rly on t h e following morning the flaws again opened, and we got through into a gOOO deal of water. In following our example, the Lady Forbes got jammed between the points of the flaw, and in a very short time was a complete wreck, the men having scarcely time to save their clothes before the flaws crushed through hr. The Cato likewise got materially damaged. The intrepidity and skill of our Captain were here eminently displayed. Leaving t} e land flaw, where upwards of twenty sail were in dock, he penetrated through the ice,:undatinted by the dreadful collision of the dash ing flaws and icebergs, which carry all before them. On the Mit a very heavy press came on the ship ; the ice was running set the rate of three miles an hour, and large fragmental were dashed and cu r l e d u p t h e s id e o f t h e :ship'a side. At this time the rudder was unshipped, the hatches thrown off, and nothing but ruin before its. The breeze from N.N.W. was succeeded by a perfect hurricane from S.W. Such, a hurri cane, especially from this quarter, could not fail to make at havoc among the flaws to the southward, where the greatest part of the ships were lying, crushing and destroying all .before them. Accordingly, on the following. morning we saw three ships wrecked, the Eliza, Valiant, and Invincible. On the leth, after much difficulty, we got the ship - off the flaw (where she lay, embedden with masses of ice many hundred tons weight),'and tracked, warped, and towed to the northward. On the 28th we were lying in a dock with the William and Old Middleton. There again we were near being crushed by a large iceberg. All the seamen's chests, beds, &c. of the three ships were taken out and left on the flaws, we expecting to see the ships crushed every instant. At midnight we saw the'crtw belonging to the Calypso launching over the fin* the r boats to the fleet more to the southward. The Calypso was lost on the 27th. On the 30th we quitted Our dock and warped the ship more in towards land, the William. and Middleton following our example. August 2n.1, the idea of the ice clearing away to 'the northward, and leaving rpassage for the . ship in that directio n , i n or d er to prosecute t h e fishery. si'ds now completely given up. Nothing but a solid - field of ice' could be seen as far as the eye could reach to the norft ward, on which the easterly winds had little or no effect I:, drifting it offfrom the land. Dark nights were coming on; hay ice was making rapidly, and cementing the hawse flaws together; in fact, it was morally impossible for any ship to gain a passage this year to Prince Regents Bay, although Captain Ross hes given it as his opinion that a passage may he fOtrnd every - year. Experience is therefore at variance with his, opittion. We bore up for the southward, anti were accompanied t y the William and Middleton. It came on thick in the evening, and we were necessitated again to saw a dock in the flaw, for the preservation of the ship. We there learned the loss of the British Queen, and at noon, on the sth, saw the Hem %leek. cd ; here we lay till the 14th August, when, after an amazing deal of labour, we forced our way through all danger, tow. ing, &c., till the evening of the lath, when we got into the open sea, leaving sixteen vessels beset to the northward. I have no hesitation in saying if a passage is found this yeter to the West-land, it must he more southerly than has yet been attempted; in our passage down the Straits, twice were w a led into the ice in the hope of discovering it, and both timta fail2d. The latitudes which we attempted were-73 first, and 71 the second time. We bore up for England on the sith August, were off' Cape Farewell en the Ist September, ran through Hoy Sound (Orkneys) on the Bth, and finally arrived in the Humber, with four fish, 130 butts, after a passage of thirteen days unexampled for its celerity."
