Beirig anxious to push my Piquets upon the 11
as far ,its possible towards the Enemy's advanced'
Work, the Redout de -Bain, I dire4ed Lieutenant'
Colonel SMITEI, with the Ist Battalion. of the zots
Regiment, assisted with a small detaehment of' the
26th Light Dragoons, commanded by LieutenArtc
KELLTo to attack and drive in the -French.Oor'
poststipon the right of their position. He was t 9,
be Supported'hy it Battalion iitritiry, dispose°
for thay.purpose on the Sand-Hills. •
Soon after dark last night, •Lieutenant:Colorcel
SNITS commenced the attack; by turning the
of the Enemy's Piquets, and scouring the hills oi
he advanced.
The cool add spirited condtta of that Officer'
and the Corps, under his commi(nd, as- also the de"
tachment of the i6th Dragoons, is well deserving
of praise ; not a Man attempted to loltd, and the
whole was effeaed. by the bayonet. The loss of
the Enemy in this affair amounted to upwards ('e
one hundred men killed, wounded, taken;d ot,
the latter I enclose .the return.'
This service was performed on our side with tbd,
loss of only three men slightly wounded ; and haf
placed me in it situation to ereet.
.A battery within
about six hundred yards of Redoubt de Bain. •
The Enemy, however, extremely exasperated
our success.,, made several attempts to regain
ground he had lost ; with this view he kept LIP
very heavy fire Of cannon and musquetry for ab°6ls
: an hour ;.then, finding all his endeavours ineffeEto,:
.he retired,, leaving us peaceful. possessors of the i'‘`,6
vantage we had gained- in the early 1-art of
•
night. Ig
Enclosed is a return,olour loss in the latter Pa

: The manlier in which the last event of the War
has been conduAed and terminated; it such as must,
leave on the minds of every nation in Europe a
sense of the value of our Alliance; antt the danger
of our Hostility. It is with pleasure we' see see that
the fall of Alexandria has been purchased with so
little bloodshed in comparison to the objet at iktined.
Thitit is doubly secured to its original possesFors,
bOth by the valour of our Troops, and by the good
faith of our Statesmen
.in Negotiatidn, must be ad-
diiional nutter for congratulation, and it mast give
great confidence to the Nation, to see that. the safety
of our East Indian P'ossessions can be established
by Force, if Treaties should ever be found insuffi-
cient to their proteelion.

The French Government; we understand from
good authority, are about td send a large force to
the tsland of Si. Domingo.

Two I).ainZu.'-gh /Wad/ still remain dtie.
His MA jESTY yesterday morning!rode out on
horseback, accompanied by PRINCE ADULpaus
and PRINCESS SOPHIA, with their usual attend_
ants.

The QUEEN and the Elder PRINCESSES, with
the Earl and Countesi of HARCOURT, and Lady
CATBcmyr, took an airing to Englefieid Green,
the seat of Mr. FR EtiANTLEi where the Royal
Party alighted, and partook of an elegant refresh-
ment.

Baron 11/IfCrus,-- the Ambassador from Wirtem-
berg, is •now in Paris; it is said he is to be
Ambassador from his Court: •
'
`This morning arrived a Mail from New.Yorl:
and Halifax.

A great numhe, of the workmen ip the Warren,
,at Woolwich, have been 'discharged, and. they .are
likewise 'discharging their worst' men from the.
Royal Artillery. The men that are thus discharged,
are deducted from 'the cftedive strength of the Bar_
talions' as no order haS yet been issued for a redUc.-
tion of Officers.
The Marines are discharging their worst men at
the three Divisions. The meritorious services 'of
this CdipS during the War, we have reason to be.-
Neve will ensure to them'a larger Peace Establish.
menethan they have ever yet had. •

In the Kentish Military Distrid the double pa_
troles upon the.CoaA are to be immediately reduced
to single patiolCS ; and the patroles that leave Folk_
stone and Hytbe an hour before daybreak are to be
in future discontinued.

At Do,rer the Subaltern of the Town Guard is
•
already taken off; as also the 'Field Officer of the
day, and the whole of the outflying 'picquets.

The pikes intended and issued for the use of the
Sea Fencibles, and. the whole of the ball cartridges
in possession of the Trtiop.s, are ordered to be re-
ceived into store.

In consequence of the signature of, the 'Pre
naries, by which all prOsped of actual service is
now happily removed, Lieutenant_General HULS-E
has, by the command 'of His Royal -Highness the
DUKE of YoRK, announced to the troops stationed
in the Southern Distriet, that the former rigid re.
gulations respeaing leave of absence are now to be
suspended; and.that leave of absence will be given
to a certain proportion of Officers in the M!itia
ments under his orders. Care is, however; to. be
taken to retain with each Regiment at least one.half
Of the Subaltern Officers ; but in cities where this
may be done without injury to the Service,
Officer will be-considered sufficient 'to remain with
Regiments where the number of Field Qfficers is
smaller. The same indulgence is to be extended to
the. regular Trodps, but Lieutenant-Getieral,HuLsE
is left to his own discretion to grant, leave of ab-
sence, observing only this regulation, that not more
than one-third of the Officers shall be absent at the
same tithe.

Ensign MiNcA-6 of the 9th Regiment of Foot,
is appointed Aid-tie-Camp to Major-General .Dox ;
Capt. OTWAY, of the, sth Dragoon Guards, is ap-
pointed Aid.de-Camp to Major-General 'WHYTE ;
