London, have been Counternianded, and at-e to -re-
main at Northamptpik.
The 11th Light Dragoons his received a route
for Hounslow, Windsor, and Richmond.
By the two fleets which Saileti'from:Portsmouth
on Thursday and Friday for Satifander, a very
complete battering train anti a number of detach-
ments were sent out to Lord Wr:Lt.trzaToN, with
taco very fine chargers, said td be a present from
the PRINCE REGENT.
The embarkation of the Royal Scdts for Stral-
sund, which was to have taken place .tit Leith on
Saturday, was suspended in consequence of the
. renewal of the Armistice; the Commander of the
Forces in North Britain judging it prudent to
wait for further orders. They arc, howeter, to
proceed to their original destination-,—,probably
the course of the present week.
On Saturday se'nnight a detachment from the
2d battalion of the 42d regiment, consisting of 70
privates, four scrjeants, tour corporals, and seven
Officers, embarked at Inverness, on board the
• Inverness packet, for London, to join their gal-
' lant companiona in Spain.
Government is about to establish an Audit
Office at Lisbon, for the purpose of passing all
• Military accounts connected with the army serv-
ing in the Peninsula. Such an arrangement will
not only be attended with a national saving to the
country, but must considerably expedite the busi-
ness ofthe public. Similar institutions, at con-
venient stations, throughout the British Colonies,
would greatly decrease the national expenditure,
and he productive, in other respects, of important
advantages. •

regiment of -Foot, 600 strong, commanded by
Lieut.-Colonel WARDELOW, and the 84th Regi-
ment, 960, commanded by Lieut.-Colonel LLovo,

ed cheering. We have no, hesitation in saying,
that two finer corps have- not, at any time, lett
this -Country during •the war. The whole will
proceed • to-morrow for' St. Andero, Ivhidi port

days. His Majesty's ships Stork., Capt. -Coutsom,

" -Off St. Sebastian, July 23.
We landed- several of our 24-pounders to
mount a breaching battery, manned by a party of
our seamen and marines, with our First and Third
Lieutenants, and some' Petty Officers ; and our
fire has already been noticed by the applause -of
the whole besieging army. We have had some
casualties, and our !Third Lieutenant had a nar-
-row escape being tumbled down by a spent can-
non shot, and we thought killed, but severe bleed-
ing brought him round. On the mornin,, of the
20th, all the batteries from the Sand Bills com-
menced fire,.being twenty-two 24-pounders, se-
veral mortars and howitzers, and the wall
to. tie
breached was reported by our Captain to I.iave
been.nitich shaken that-el-oth* wirewite.4*.Ao
teenches.—The - enemPare pot, idle, and though
their fire is not so brisk as ours-,' perhaps from a
desire to preserve theirummunition, yet it is well
directed, and on the first day one of our
pounders was rendered unserviceable, some people
killed, and a few wounded-, by splinters' frani the
enemy!s• shells. The loss in the attack of the
fortified. convent was severe, but it was as neat
and es gallant an affair as could have been wit-
nessed : there was nothing to complain of hut•an
excess of courage on the part of the assailants,
which led them to pursue the enemy further than
. was strictly proper ; but this, after all, is a noble
fault.. The flanking batteries are now pushed- on
to the glacis, and to-morrow, the opinion .Is, the
town will be stormed. I rather think the 25th is
more likely. If we succeed so far, as I trust we
-shall, such of the garrison as escape the British
bayonet must retire to the castle and works on
the rock, from whence they can be driven only
by shells, and these, I trust, will make the rofek
too warm for them. Some of- our seamen have
already applied to the Captain for leave to be of
the forlorn hope, arid this desperate duty seems
covered by a great many. No idea can be form-
ed of the severity of the service upon this coast,
by those who have nOtielt it : all I have ever seen
is in truth play to it:"
