joined by another battalion of the Scots Royals, 73d
and 75th Highlanders, 77th and 87th or Prince of
Wales's Irish Heroes (2d battalion), 88th or Con-
naught Rangers (Ist battalion), and some compa-
nies of the Rifle Corps.
A number of Regiments still remain in Ireland
fit for service, among which may be reckoned the
7th, 2d battalion ; 53d,. 2d ditto; 66th,
.2d ditto;
69th, 2d ditto ; 88th, td ditto; and several others.
The 1 i th, 2d battalion, embarked about ten days
