TIIE ARMY.

As the announcement by us of a brevet, has naturally excited much
attention among military men, we think it ight to give the current re-
ports respecting the details; and although we are quite satisfied as to the
correctness of a certain portion, yet we, for various reasons, deciPi`
pledging ourselves as to the accuracy of the entire.
The following, it is said, will be the officers benefited:—
Lieutenant-Generals of 1825.
Major_Generals of 1825.
A proportion of Colonels of 1830.

Captains of 1825.
The number of troops which will be employed at the Coro106:j
exceed 7,000 horse and foot--namely, 2,200 cavalry, and about
infantry, including artillery, marines, &c.
The review intended to be held for the gratification of the distin-
guished„ foreigners attending the Coronation, will, we underst3i-tead
take place at Wormwood Scrubbs, in place of Hyde Park; the lin' y.
extent of the latter precluding either the artillery or cavalry from'o
nceuvring to advantage.
The 20th regiment, now stationed in the Tower, as soon 20 the Co-
ronation and review are over, is to proceed to Weedon barrack,' `--03
thamptonshire. They will be replaced in the Tower by the 2d battai"
of the rifle brigade, under the command of Col. Brown, aid-decamp to
the Queen.

gaged in fixing the stair upon the marble portico facing Bucking"Tt,
