There will be a further embarkation at Portsmouth
immediately ; several battalions of foot wilt be
sent to Portugal, two brigades of cavalry, one heavy.
And one light, besides the Hussar brigade, who go
as soon as they are reported fit for service again.--
Another brigade of the German Legion will likewise
be sent, out.

The North gloucester Militia are on their march
from Little Flainpton And Bognor Rotics to Bristol, to
do duty over the French prisoners.
The enen from the Welsh Militia regiments
have most of them volunteered for the 23d and
g6th.

The lath Foot has got a great many men ; it is
supposed that this fine 'reiment, which of late so
much distinguished itself at Martinique, will get a
2d baitalion.

The 73d Highlander have just obtained a td bat.
talion ; and the 77th,' (Lord CRAVEN'S fine regi-
ment) ertpetts to get another battalion. This regi-
ment is commanded by Col. WRITELotR.
The Volunteering. is nnw nearly Over; and the
measure has been very successful both in England
and in Irel Ind. The ardour was so great for some
of the corps which have'distinguished themselves in
Portugal, Spain, and even :at.. Martinique, that, it
was found hece4sary to
,restrain volunteering into
them. The 7th, 13th, 23d, 36th, 4011, 41.'d, Suthe
62d, goth, 95th, and With, would have each of
them got men to fill two or three battalions.
Yesterday in the Court of 'Chancery, the case of
Rumour) v. TOOKE, which we Stated in our Pape:of,
Monday last, war proceeded with, Mr. LEACH being
heard for the Defendant, Mr. HORNE TOOKE'. The
Delendant's,answer stated, that the reconciliation be-
tween the Testator WM'. Toms and his nephews,was
brought about through the interference of the De-
feadatit, mid that the promissory note for 40001. was
voluntarily given to the Defendant: The case stands
over for further hearing.
A ludicrous walking or, running match of three
miles took place yesterday on the banks' of the
Paddington Canal, between a Mr. Watts, who
'weighs 18 stone, and is 60 years of 'age, and
a strong boded poulterer who weighs within four
pounds of his antagonist, and is one, year older,
for a wager of 20 guineas and a repast. What
added to the novelty of this match was that nei-
ther. of the pedestrians is free from the gout
many dayi together ; but the match was made in
the moment of jollity, and each being conscious
of the other's defeats, nothing .could reconcile
theirs to draw the stakes. They started at a jog
something about three 'miles an hour,.-and view-
ed each other sternly; until the poulterer made
a stop for after having gone about tour bun-
dred yards. His adversary was soon in the same
predicament, and they. were together at the end of
two (Oa, when a mutual .stop again took place,
and they started the last mile together again. The
poulterer was obliged to make another -stop, and‘ his
adversary ,won tale race by 10Q yards.
Of the Westminster Militia stationed at Ports-
mouth, 400 men have volunteered their services in 1
rejituenti. of the line. 'They remain in the bar-
racks at that place waiting for fatale; ordert,
