The original destination of the • Remote Expedi-
tion, it is thought, is now Well knoWn. They were
to go to Plymouth, and proceed thence with Admi-
ral S.rfriatio-, in the Sampson, and five Sail Of the
Line, to the Cape, there to take on board part of
the. 24st Light Dragoons, and proceed .to SoUthr
Ameriea.. It is now, however; the opinion of many
. that they will have a dance after Mr. JEROME Bo-
NArARTE to the West Indies, where both Troops
and Ships are now much Wanted,-
We beat-likewise that. the Sicilian Expedition is
ordered off. That there may be no delay, the Cap-
tain and. Ganges, two Line-of-battle Ships, with some
Vitauallers and Store-ships, will meet them off -Ports-
mouth they will afterwards proceed to Plymouth,
to join Sir J. DUCK A'ORTH, who is waiting for them,
and who accompanies them,with a Squadron. Major
Gen. OAKES, the Quarter-Master General of the
Sicilian Army, goes in the Royal George, Sir JOHN
DUCKWORT{aFIag-ship. Capt. De eIi.WORTH, the
son of Sir JOHN, accompanies his Regiment to the
Mediterranean.-

The embarkation for this Expedition goes on with
great dispatch and tegularity at Ramsgate. The fol-
lowing letter contains a detail of the movements at
that Port yesterday : , •
" RAMSGATE, JULY 28.—This day, about twelve
o'clock, 600 of the Guards marched into this
town, and after halting at the Barracks, where a
dinner had been previously prepared for them,
.at one o'clock they marched down to the Pier,
and embarked in boats, to be \ taken on board the
.Transports off-this Port. The men looked exceeding
well, and were in .high spirits. Too much praise
cannot be given to Capt. BUTTERFIELD, by whose
exertions, attention, • and method, the whole em-
barkation has hitherto been conducted with the
greatest regularity and good order,- and without a
single accident.
More troops are expeEtsd to-morrow, whose
embarkation will complete the complement of those
Transports lying of this Port, and which could not
triter the Pier, in 'consequence of their size ; after
Which, the rest of the Troops destined for the Ex-.
pedition will be embarked on board the eight Trans-
ports now lying within the Pier for their receptinii.
The whole iii tuber to be embarked frOm this Port
amounts to 5000.
