Ist Battalion of 3i Regiment, 9th, C3th,
2sith, 30th, 3tith, 45th, 47th, s,;th, 63d, 79th, 521,
97th.—Total, 10,000 men.
Grand total of Troops ordered for Foreign Ser-
vice, FORT v-etaTHOUS•ND MEN.
Upon a perusal of this list. it will appear, that the
"Troops contained in it, constitute a material part of
the very flower of our Regular Force.—We have
already stated, that there are upwards of GO trans-
ports in the Downs. Sixteen more yesterday joine I
them from Portsmouth ; but it must be obvious, that
five times the present number will be requisite
for the conveyance of a force of this quantity
and quality, with the necessary stores.—Sup-
posing. however, the transports all provided, the
ammunition, ordnance, and camp equipage, all on
board, it is nut to be presumed that the Minister
would send a force of this magnitude and value out
of the country, merely upon the probability, how-
ever strong, of a continental war, and because
BONA Pure has broken up his encampments at Bou-

logne, and in the vicinity of the Tercel. Supposing,
that the moment when our 45,000 men landed upon
the Continent, BON APAR TE should march his army
back to Boulogne, we ask, would that be a situation in
which the country ought to be placed ? Those who
would answer in the affirmative, must be prepared
to say, that if no change had taken place at Bou-
logne or the Texel, the expedition in question would
have gone out. 'the consequence of this admission
would be, that we have 45,000 troops more than are
necessary for our defence, in case of invasion ; but we
believe no prudent Government would wish to incur
that charge. Notwithstanding, then, alt that has
been said of the " inemrdiale" departure of the expeii.
tion, we do not believe that a single man will leave
this country, until such a change has been effected
upon the Continent, as will render it impossible for
BUN AP A RTE to renew his threats of invasion, with
the same means which he has hitherto possessed.
Certainly, when he has joined issue with a powerful
confederacy upon the Continent, he will have less
means of carrying his threat of invasion into exe-
cution ; but, still, we ought to be sure that we have
cut out work for him upon the Continent, that will
not leave him any troops to spare. Could we, also,
chock up the passage into Boulogne harbour, or
burn the flotilla, we might immeiiately send 50,000
troops to the Continent, and sleep in perfeft security.
It is now said, that Lord CATIIC AR T will be at the
head of the expedition, and that General Moose
will be second in command.

We have given, in our preceding columns, some
further details of the military operatims in Ceylon,
of which we gave a brief account in our paper of
Friday last.

CORONLR'S INQUEST.

On Saturday night, an inquisition was taken at St.
Bartholomew's Hospital, before Tau Mas SKEL TO a,
Esq Coroner :::r Londian, on a view of the ho I y of
Thom is At ies, wins was murdered in Feather'‘.-
court, Holbnrn, on last Wednesday night.
Aber the Jury had examined the body, which ex-
hibit A 4 shocking speaacle, the following evidence
was examined :
‘Villiarn Owen, a very intelligent boy, about 13
ye ors of age, deposed, that he Lived ..vith his father,
in Weston 's Park, Lincoln's lan Field. ; about 11
o'clock on Wednesday evening, witness observed a
naan, who afterwards proved to be William Moss,
i,,el from Weston's Park. to the window of Elizabeth
!times, house, N 1. 12, in Feather's-court, where he
1 palled off hi, jacket, or smock frock, and looked in;
he then went a Nay. and witness followed him to the
end of Feather's-court, and lost sight of him, until
about ten minutes after, when witness saw
him
SCUf•-
(11117, with the deceased, at Riruees back door ; witness
heard blows given, and saw Moss hold up the de-
ceased with one hand, And strike him wits the other I
after which, the deceased fell down, and groaned ;
and when Moss siw witness, he ran away ; witness
then went to the Crown Public-house, and exclaim-
ed to the landlord, ":or God's sake go up the court,
them is a man murdered !" Afterwards went in
•-arch of a surgeon, but was unable to procure one.
Witness had seen Moss before, and was so well AC-
quAitited with
.64 person, that when he was appre-
hended the- came nogrif; lilitl;fii IA ina him out,
among many others, at the watch-house.
Bernard Eafrement, the landlord of the Crown,
in Feather's-court, deposed, that he saw the de-
ceased lying on the ground ; his face Was bruised,
and his head bloody; he could not speak. Witness
knew the deceased by having seen him visit Eliza-
...to !( :Ines ; witness. with several others, conveyed
the •I •ccased to a surgeon's, in hi:loom, who at-
temp:el to bleed him, but he would not bleed ; he
was dead ; they afterwards conveyed the body to
St. Bartholomen's Hospital.
Several wimesses, who saw the deceased, corro-
borated the statements made relative to the situation
in which he was found.
Joseph Worley, the landlord of Elizabeth kimes's
apartment, stated, that on Wednesday night, the
house was not disturbed by any noise until the
watchman knocked at the door, at eleven o'clock,

when the deceased wa, discovf:red. Witness went
to bed about half-past ten, ac which time he saw
Moss in the house, with Elisabeth Rimes, but had
not observed any other person with her during that
evening. Moss and 'times live.] together as man
and wife, and, during the absence ot Moss, ~ime
time since, witness had seen the deceased in the

house.
Croaker, a Bow-street Officer, deposed, that he
saw Moss running up Sutton-street, Soho, between
eleven and twelve o'clock, on Wednesday night ; If
witness suspected him to be a thief, and attempted
to detain sires ; On which Moss struck him a violent
blow ; witness then saw his face, and immediately
knew him to be an offender who had been recently
sent on I..iard the tender ; he consequently secured
hint, and conveyed him to St. Giles 's watch-house;
while he was there, several officers came in, and
said, a murder had been committed by a man in a
smock frock. Suspicion then fell on Mins ; and
Owen, the boy who had seen the scull,. in Fea•
dives-court, pointed Moss ant as the man seen in
the situation before described.
Martha Higley deposed, that she saw Moss run
away from Feather's-court, across Holborn.
Mr. Robert Hardy, the House Surgeon of St.
Bartholomew's Hospital, deposed, that when the
deceased was brought to the Hospital, the b. dy ap-
peared much bruised, and the head exhibited several
wounds. On Thursday, witness onened the body,
and there was not any extraordinary appearance
internally. A small quantity of water was lodged
wit sin the brain and membrane ; but witness did not
consider the ii.Ofle essential to his death, though it
WAS rather uncommon. Witness could not speak
wits confidence of what occasioned the death of the
deceased; it was, however, his opinion, that he
mogiit have been killed by the injury he bad sus-
tained.
Alter the deposiiion of Mr. Hardy, the Jury de-
abeiated for a considerable time, and returned a
Verdlet of wilfal ,warder against William Moss.
evidence appeared to describe who the de
ceased was; hot on Friday the body was owned by
the widow of the deceased, and it appeared, he was
• tiaataa, employed by a tradesman is Holborn.

took place at this office. Mr. a person

terteitted a passion for a young girl, the daughter
of a publican in the neighbourhost h.• deter-
