EXTRACT A LETTER,.DATED pALMOUTII, NOY. IQ.
" For several days past we have been expeEting
to sail every minute; every thing has been in the
utmost readiness, but the wind has been foul, and
blowing hard. Considering the length of time the
troops have been on board, it is a matter of surprise
to every one that sotitie infetious fever has not
broken out amongst theM, The Officers' Ladies are
packed off, and there are little more than half-a-
dozen married Ladies now left.in the Fleet. Gen.
CRAWPURD has done all he can to convince the mar-
ried Officers of the propriety of the order, but in
vain. The General, who is a married man himself,
led them the example first, by leaving his own Lady
behind. Nothing can equal the 'dim essing scenes -
which took place here Pt the parting of the
Like the condemned at the place of execution, they
had still hopes of a reprieve, and tarried behind until
all hopes of accompanying their Lords were gone
nothing was•then left, them but the liberty of bid-
ding a long and sad adieu.
"There are six Line-of-battle Ships now here,fonr
of which' are to accompany the Expedition, and two
Frigates. The Nereicle is' certainly one—the other
will be either the Iris or the Lively. The Fleet wilt
rendezvous, most likely; at one of the West India
Islands, where the troops will be formed into Bri-
gades, and other arrangements made for their dis-
position, wherever they may ad. The 9th Light
Dragoons, being commanded by an Officer senior in
rank.to the General, are intended, it is thought, for
the Cape, in room of the 20th, which is gone to re-
inforce the army at Buenos Ayres. , The General is
still on shore. - He. will sail in the Spencer, of 74
guns; the Hon. Captain STOPPORD, the senior naval
'Officer now here. The wind-is still from the S.W.
and likely to continue so for some time."

An English Drummer having been taken prisenef
at the siege of Louisbourgh, the French desired hint
to beat a retreat. •" That I cannot do," said he,
" for it is never beaten in our army—but you can
teach me."

As Mr. JOS. PODEVIN, keeper of the King's Head
Inn, Dover, about eight o'clock, on l'hursday night,
was going to Maidstone. in company with three other
persons, and his horse going full speed down a little
hill, two miles from Ospringe, the animal ran against
a post-chaise which was coming up, the. pole of
Which 'entered the horse's chest, and • immediately
killed it. Mr. PODEVIN was thrown down, and re-
ceived so much injury as to occasion his death in
less than half an hour afterwards. He has left a
wife and two Children to bewail his loss.
