THE ORDER OF THE BATH.

The Medals for the Companions of the Bath, have been
delivered to the Membi.rs of the Order. Such officers as
,were on the spot were directed to attend for them, and
those in the country received them through the Post Office.
The Badge is so constructed, that by. the application of
a screw, the medal separates from the ribbon, which enables
the Officer to wear the ribbon and buckle on the undress
coat, and the ribbon and medal on the full uniform.
The Badges were severally enclosed in elegant morocco
cases, about nine inches long, by two wide, and contained
the permission of the Prince Regent to wear the Order,
signified in a lettcr of his Royal Highness the Duke of York,
