The Hastings, 74, is hourly expected at Spithead, to em-
bark his Excellency the Earl of Durham, family and suite,
for Quebec. Although every suitable, and perhaps- show,-,
preparation has been provided for the dignity and comfort of
his Lordship in the high situation he is to fill, we are not
aware that any extravagance has been unnecessarily incurred
in his outfit. His Lordship has a large retinue with him, aild
when we look to the splendour with which our East Indic
traders, and more particularly our New York packet ships,
administer to the comfort of their passengers, we are satisfied
the outfit of the Hastings has been formed on a plan of
economy. This we know—the proprietors of the Great
Western steamer were desirous of conveying his Lordship to
his destination ; but the price asked, 10,000/. reduced almost
at the first offer to 7,000/., was deemed by Government too
expensive, and the Hastings, equipped for the purpose, was
considered the cheaper, as well as the more appropriate, con-
veyance. His Lordship's horses (14), and those belonging to
the Brigade of Guards, will be embarked from this dockyard
in the Stakesby transport.

disbanded British Auxiliary Legion from Spain. Govern-
ment offered them an asylum on Spike Island, there to be pro-
visioned, with the view, it is supposed, of recruiting from
them. Not more than one half availed themselves of this
offer, though every effort, short of firing from the ship on the
boats, were made to prevent them landing elsewhere. Lieut.
Scrymgeour paid them nearly 500/. on the morning of their
arrival, being the balance due to them from the Spanish Go-
vernment. Many of them had not anything to receive, and
were in a very destitute state. About 220 blankets, the same

on the passage home.
