tion of troops for service in the East.
"JUNE 4
"The following have arrived since yesterday (at gun

A correspondent at Dantzic writesithat on the 9th the
English frigate Desperate, Captain D'Eyncourt arrived
from Baro Sound. She left the fleet there on the 7th.
She has been firing upon Hango without success, and
proceeded to Helsingfors. Last night eight French
men-of-war passed her off Gothiand. The Desperate
intended to leave Dantzic on the 10th, after having
taken on board fresh water and some other provisions.

By a letter from Elsinore, dated the 12th inst., it ap-
pears that the Holyrocd screw steam-transport, Com-
mander Lovett, arrived the • day previous at 8 30 p m.,
after making a run of 73 hours 20 minutes from the
Nore to Kronberg, with strong bead winds to the Sciw,
having a fair wind after passing the Scaw. At 11 ,30
same day her Majesty's steam gun-boat Cuckoo, Lieu-
tenant-Commander Murray, arrived, leaving Hull two
hours after the Holyrood left Sheerness. On the 12th
her Majesty's steam-vessel Otter, 11 days from Yar-
mouth, arrived in a very dangerous state. The mails
were being transferred from both vessels to the Holy-
rood, as also all parcels, and the following officers
William Ord, assistant-surgeon, for passage to the Ctim-
berland : and E. Stopford, cadet, ftir the Duke of Wel-
lihgton ; also two or three prize crews. The Holyrood
was to leave ,Elsinore at five p.m. for Copenhagen,
where she will call for despatches, and will proceed
at once to Hango, off which the centre squadron is
cruising. Admiral Corry is off Revel, while Admiral
Plurnridge is blockading the different small harbours in
the Gulf of Finland. A prize to her Majesty's ship
Alban, laden with wheat, was Passing, said to be worth
7,0001., in charge of Mr. Galbraith, mate of her Majesty's
ship Arrogant. This is by far the most valuable prize
yet taken.
By advices received yesterday under date Gottenburg,
June 12, her Majesty's ship Dauntless sailed for England
at that date with a number of Russian prizes.

The Russian-Finnish ship Argo; of Abo, now sailing
under lonian colours, has arrived at Falmouth. It is
reported that the question will be raised as to whether
she may not be deemed a lawful capture.
The Loreline, French store-ship, sailed from the
Downs on Thursday to join the allied fleets in the Baltic.
The Colossus, 80, screw-ship, was placed in the steam
basin, at Portsmouth yesterday. Every exertion is
being made to equip her for service. An order arrived
to commission her yesterday by Captain Robinson, late
of the Arrogant, with a complement of 750 men.
The Medina, paddle-wheel steam-vessel, arrived at
Spithead on Thursday night from the Thames, and went
into Portsmouth harbour yesterday morning to coal and
be paid advance wages. She will leave this day (Satur-
day), as appointed, with mails for the Black Sea fleet.

. ,
The Illustrious, 40, training-ship, Captain Harris,
exercised her volunteers to-day in great gunnery from
the main deck battery.
The following appointments have been made :

cently flag-lieutenant of the Impregnable, at Devon port;
Fairfax Moresby (1847), recently flag-lieutenant of the
Portland, 50, when on the Pacific station, to be com-
manders.

A board of field-officers of the Royal Artillery assem-
bled at the Ordnance Hospital, Woolwich, on Thursday,
and again yesterday, Colonel Willies, inspector of drills,
president, to verify the services of upwards of 180 non-
commissioned officers and gunners and drivers returned
unfit for service.

The report is again revived in Dublin that some of the
English militia regiments will be shortly ordered to take
a tour of duty in Ireland, and it is even said that one
may be expected to replace the 27th regiment, the first
division of which left Dublin on Friday morning by rail-
way for Cork, there to embark for India, One of the
Belfast papers says,—",We have heard that, if some-
thing do not intervene, we may shortly expect detach-
ments of the English militia among us, to make up for
the soldiers who are necessarily draughted from our gar-
risons. We shall, for our own part, be glad to see our
English friends in uniform, and when they arrive they
will, we are sure, get a hearty welcome."

A party of the 2,1 Battalion of the Scots Fusilier
Guards arrived in Belfast on Tueiday last, from the
Wellington Barracks, London, on recruiting duty. It
consists of one sergeant and three corporals. The ser-
geant and two of the corporals are to be stationed in
Belfast, and the third corporal in Ballymena. There
was never a party of this distinguished corps in Belfast
before, on any duty.

There are now six recruiting parties in Belfast, viz.,
Scots Fusilier Guards, 13th Light Infantry, 45th, 67th,
Royal Marines, and Royal Artillery. The latter corps
is about commencing the formation of the 14th battalion,
which will make five battalions more than it had during
the heat of the last long war. A corpor►l and five gun-
ners of the Royal Artillery, who have been for some
time past stationed at Enniskillen and its vicinity, em-
barked at Belfast on Wednesday evening for Fleetwood,
en route to Woolwich. Captain Charles Thomas Bent-
ley, of the 78th Highlanders, has been nominated staff
officer at .Ballymena, vice Child, late senior captain of
the 46th Foot, removed to the second division, Belfast,
from which Captain Stoney has been appointed to the
Leeds district.

Major Robert Alexander Cuthbert, commanding the
depot of the 15th (Yorkshire, East Riding) Regiment of
Foot, stationed at Londonderry, was officially called
upon on Tuesday last to furnish 52 volunteers for the
38th (let Staffordshire), now servino. in Turkey. There
is no doubt that the quota required will " turn out" im-
mediately the requisition is read on parade.
The Chaplain-General, the Rev. George Robert Gleig,
M.A., has been for some time past on his annual tour
of inspection of the regimental schools in Ireland. He
is now in Belfast. _ _

About 80 English recruits arrived in Cork on Sunday
by the steamers from London, Liverpool, and Bristol,
to join the regiments and depots stationed in the south
of Ireland. About 60 of them left on Monday to join
the provisional battalions. While England is furnishing
such recruits so freely there is little fear of any defici-
ency in the ranks of the British army on foreign service,
In the south and west of Ireland, owing to some unex-
plained cause, none aro enlisting. From the north of
Ireland, and on towards Dublin, enrolment is going on,
satisfactorily. Recruiting parties from the Royal Ma-
rines have been stationed in Cork, Mallow and Bandon
—a thing quite unprecedentc,l, but they have not been
successful in inducing young men to join this service,
though it is rather a popular one in Ireland.

REVIEW OF THE ROYAL HORSE GUARDS.

WINDSOR, Friday.—This morning his Royal Highness
Prince Albert and the King of Portugal reviewed the
Royal regiment of Horse Guards in the Great Park.
The regiment marched on the ground at half-past 10
o'clock, and at 11 her Majesty arrived in a pony carriage
and four, in which were also her Royal Highness the
Duchess of Cambridge, his Royal Highness the Duke of
Oporto, Prince Arthur, and Princess Mary of Cambridge.
His Royal Highness Prince Albert and the King of Por-
tugal, in field-marshals' uniform, rode on horseback, and
the Prince of Wales and Prince Arthur were on ponies.
Colonel Wylde, Captain do Ros' Vicomte de Carreira,
and general Buckley, who were also in military uniform,
were ill attendance on the Royal party. A second car-

riago followed, in which were several ladies in attend-
ance on her Majesty. The Royal party were received
with the usual military honours, after which the custo-
mhry evolutions were gone through in brilliant style,
showing the high state of discipline of this fine regiment.
At the conclusion of the review, Prince Albert and
the King of Portugal advanced to the front of the regi-
ment, and, addressing the Hon. G. C. Forester, the
colonel in command, paid him a high compliment on the
appearance and discipline of the regiment. The Queen
then left the ground, and proceeded by Sheet-street and
Bone-lane to the Cavalry Barracks. Prince Albert and
the King of Portugal marched at the head of the regi-
ment to the barracks, by the Spittal-road. Her Ma-
jesty remained here fora long time, whilst Prince Albert
and the King of Portugal inspected the stables and sol-
diers' apartments. The royal party afterwards returned
to the Castle and inspected the 46th Regiment of Foot,
which went through the usual parade movements under
the command of Colonel Garratt, K.H. The Court it is
understood, will leave Windsor to-morrow for Bucking-
ham Palace.

The following notices have been issued by order of the
Admiralty :
