THE ARMY.

PRECEDENCE (directed by order) of REGIMENTS.
His MAJESTY'S Regiments of Life Guards,
and the Royal Regiment of Horse Guards, have
the Precedence of all other Corps. whatever.

On parades, the Horse Artillery, whether mounted or dis•
mounted, take the Right of all other Cavalry.

The Cavalry, whether mounted or dismounted, take the Right
of Infantry of every description.
The Royal Artillery have the Precedence of other Infantry.
The Royal Engineers, and the Royal Sappers and Miners,
take post on the Left of the Royal Artillery.
The Foot Guards take the Right. of all Regiments of In-
fantry of the Line.
The Royal Veteran Battalions are the next in Rank.
Then the Regiments of Infantry of the Line, according to
their Number and Order of Precedence.

The Royal Marines, when acting with the Troops of the
Line, are to take Rank next to the 49th Regiment.
The Militia Regiments take Rank after those of the Line,
according to their respective Numbers, as fixed by lot.
When Regiments of British and Irish Militia are serving
together, the priority ot'llank is to be considered to belong to
the Militia of that part of the United Kingdom in which the
Quarter may be situated:

It is, however, to be understood, that this regulation refers
merely to circumstances of Parade. On all other occasions
Corps ate to be distributed and drawn up in the mode which
the General, or other Officer commanding may judge most con-
venient, and best adapted to the purposes of the Services.

It appears doubtful whether Eord Hill or Sir George IVltir.
ray will succeed the late Sir Hildebrand Oakes, as Lieutenant.
General of the Ordnance.

FALAIOUTII, SEPT. 12.—Wind E.—Arrived off the port

the Fox Packet, for Jamaica; and Blucher, ditto, fur the Me.
diterranean. The Swiftsure Packet arrived yesterday from
America, left New York 7th August, and Halifax the 20th ;
she is put under quarantine, owing to her not bringing a bill of
health from the former port, where a few cases of yellow fever
had appeared.

It is positively asserted in The Morning Post
this day, that Mr. CANNING has " definitively
been nominated Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs, in the room of the late and deeply la-
mented Marquis of LONDONDERRY." The Morn-
ing Chronicle, on the other hand, says, "the new
Ministerial arrangements are not yet completed,
notwithstanding Mr. CANNING is arrived." It
was, however, likely that the Morning Post,
should be best' informed on the subject, as it has
been a firm, persevering, and zealous, but not
a servile supporter of Government, and there-
fore well entitled to its confidence on all matters
that may be properly disclosed to the public.
FALstouTit, AUG. 12.—The Surfture Packet
arrived yesterday from America. Sailed from
New York, August 9th, and from Halifax the
20th. She is put under quarantine, owing to her

peared.

WANSTEAD HOUSE.
Wednesday was the last day of the sale of the articles which
once adorned this splendid mansion. The lots consisted chiefly
of china, glass, and painted windows, &c. from the cottage and
grotto, w►th a few vases from the American garden. In a short
time the house will be sold and pulled down, and every vestige
of its former splendour dispersed, and may be compared to
Canons (which rose and vanished in the last century), the seat
of the first Duke of Chandos, whose fate Pope foretold in his
Moral Essays, thus—
" Another age shall see the golden ear
Imbrown the slope, arid nod on the parterre ;
Deep harvest bury all his pride had plann'd,
And laughing Ceres re-assume the land."
The ancient manor of Wanstead was granted by Edward
VI. to Robert Lord Rich. He sold it to Robert Dudley,
Earl of Leicester, who in 1578, entertained Queen Elizabeth
there for five or six days. Reverting to the Crown, King
James gave it to Sir Henry Mildmay, who having been one
of the Judges of Charles 1., it was forfeited to Charles 11.,
who gave it to the Duke of York, who sold it to Sir Robert
Brooks. Of the representatives of this gentleman (who had
retired insolvent to France), it was purchased by Sir Josiah
Child, Bart. a great merchant, author of some valuable com-
mercial tracts, and grandfather to the late Earl of Tilney. It
is one of the most noble houses, not only in England, but in
Europe, and its grand front is supposed to be as fine a piece of
architecture as any in Italy. In the neighbourhood are several
villas, some distinguished for extensive gardens and pleasure
grounds, but all are eclipsed by the magnificence of %% anstead
house.

PRESTON GUILD, SEPT. 11.

The Grand Selection of Sacred Music was performed on
Monday evening in the Parish Church, which was filled with a
brilliant assemblage of rank and fashion. t Grand Miscella-
neous Concert was given last evening at the Theatre. The
greatest preparations are making for the Masquerade on Fri-
day. The Theatre on Monday evening was graced with a
very splendid audience. The Vauxhall gardens' Bowling.
green was also very numerously attended, to witness the mag-
nificent Fireworks of M. Ifengler, the King's Pyrotechnist.--
Preston is still very full of company, few of the principal fa-
milies having left.
