Two transports (one of them the Cam, r) came into
harbour this thy, having on board 10t4 men, svc.-
men, and children, being part cf the East Suffolk
regiment of Militia, from Aberdeen. The remainder
is expeaed, probably, tomorrow; and it k sup-
posed this regiment will, for the present, take pos-
session of Ramsgate barracks, lately occupied by
the 7th battalion of the German Legion. No orders
are yet ariivel for the sailing of the part of the Le-
gion embalked here ; they stiil remain in the Downs,
together with the G:rman Rifle Corps, which lately
arrived from Ireland.
The Companies of the German Rifle Corps, which
were in the transports that foundered in the passage
from Ireland, and lost their arms and baggage, are
still at Ramsgate, and have received new arms,
which they have been trying und:r the Cliff here,
and are very expert at hitting a mark at three hun-
dred paces distance.

ROYAL NAVAL ASYLUA

Every friend to the British Navy will learn with i
pleasure. that this additional monumeut of national
gratitude to the brave, who have fallen in their
country's cause, is at length upon the eve of com-
pletion, and that this most desirable Institution is
now transplanted from Paddington to Greenwich
Park.
The noble establishment of Greenwich Hospital
has been justly considered, by all nations, a splendid
ornament to this country, and an earnest to our gal- •
lant tam, of comfort and protedion in the evening
of life, when wounds or old age shall have disabled
them from earning a livelihood. But when the
brave father, whose manly heart vibrates to all the
sympathies of parental affedion, beholds upon the j
, same spot that presents to himself the prosped of i
comfort in his old age, another asylum, which,
should he fall in battle, adopts his offspring as the
children of the State, and secures to them protec-
tion, maintenance, clothing, and education, superior
to any thinz, he himself could have afforded, must
not his courage and ardour feel additional stimulus
in his country's cause ?
The establishment of this institution, and that of
the Military Asylum for soldiers' children, at Chel-
sea, may be considered as foremost amongst those
monuments that must claim for the sera in which we
lives the veneration of posterity. The situations
chosen for each of those seminaries, close to the
great Colleges of Greenwich and Chelsea, are highly
appropriate to the objeds of both, and calculated to
impress alike upon the minds of the veteran and the
youth, love o' their country and ardour in her
cause; and beside accomplishing a point so grateful
to national feelings, as that of rescuing from misery
and vice the orphans of the soldier and seaman. it
will have the effed of giving to both services a sup-
ply of youths regal irly trained up and educated for
these respedive lin s, and competent to fill the situ-
ations of petty officers, upon whose knowledge and
condo& so much of the discipline and goof order of
both services dep.nul.
For the improvement of the Naval Asylum,
and its extension to its present grand scale,
His Majesty was graciously pleased to assign
to the Board of Diredors, the mansion in Greenwich
Park, called Pelham-house. which has been for some
time undergoing the necessary repairs and exten-
sions, to :ender it at once commodious Inv the pur-
poses of its intention, and ornamental as a public
building. On the east and west, two capacious
wings are added, conneded ssith the centre build-
ing by handsome colonnades. the lower part of each
wing is to be appropriated to the school-rooms for
the children, male and female respeCtively : the up-
per parts as dormitories for them, and the servants
