I3A ft NATION OF CAVALRY.

This &script ion.of our forces has hitherto, not-
withstanding the'Vicility which our harbours af-
ford for their transportation, been Withnnt a coma.
MOdinnS and safe point of embarkation, and Vet;
arc glad. thereforV‘' to understand, that (revert
ment have turned their attention serionsly to t'ae
subject, and resolved to remedy so important a
deficiency. To effect this • desirable object-, we
understand,' it 'is in contemplation to constraet a
Quay near the small town of Passage, on the river
of Cork, at apart of the shore peculiarly adaptetl
to such a projection as would be necessary to em-
bark horses.--The advantiges at this point are—
that Transports may lay close to the quay at any
time,of tide, . and that horses could consequently
be shipped with espeilition and safety at any pe-
riod that it may be necessary.; and front the for-
mation iff the'shore,: Which is almost in shape a
cut de sac, the Quay may be AO eXtended us to ad-
mit of, ti number of transports:receiving horses at
the satire tune, . ,Besides this, as Passage is with.-
in an hour's ride (it Cork, in the event of any in-
terruption from very bad weather, or other etlllAe3
to the embarkation of cavalry, their return to the
barracks of Cork would be a circumstance of nei-
ther exertion or inconvenience ; or if it did not
trench upon the economy of the Measure, ti!itHs
may be-thrown up at a very trifling expellee,. to
give shelter to a squadron of cavalry in any sud-
den occurrence of severe weather. On the et hole,
if, as we understand is the case, .thiS part of the
river of Cork has been selected for the .embarka-
tion of troops, (and it would he found equallyad-
eantageous ,for infantry as for cavitiry„ especially
from the immense quantity of baggage to be
shipped), a most judicious adoption has been made,
and what is not too often the case in public pro-
je.cts, the most eligible plan of promoting a mea-
sure of great public utility has been decided
