men of the battalions (and more especially to the
adjutants and drill. sergeants) the expression of theft
Lordships' entire satisfaction at the admirable spirit
displayed by the whole force since the commenceinenC
of these exercises.

" The proficiency attained by both officers and meet
the steadiness of the battalion under arms, and the
unusual aptness of each description of force at acquit'
ing an acquaintance with its particular duties, have
exceeded their Lordships' expectations. My Lord!
are encouraged to believe that a force of this nations'
character, so recently established, and with such pro-
mising results, will, by the maintenance of the same
spirit, and by the same cheerful attention to instruc'
tion, become an arm of national defence of great iffy
portance to this country.

board the Scourge, which went to Spithead this after-
noon. The Fairy yacht is ordered to be in attend-
ance at the Clarence-yard to• morrow at noon, to
receive her Majesty and suite, and convey them to
her Majesty's ship Howe, at Spithead, which will
put to sea immediately after her Majesty has signified
her readiness to depart. Captain Sir J. S:irling's
orders are to take the Scourge under his command,
and proceed to the Tagus, landing her Majesty and
her guests at Lisbon, and remaining as long as she
may think fit to visit her .Majesty the Queen of Por-
tugal ; to re-embark the royal party, and convey them
to the island of Madeira, and when they are landed
there, to go back to Lisbon, and wait in the Tagus,
with the Howe and Scourge, until further orders. It
will be arranged that the Scourge shall communicate
weekly with the island of Madeira.
The orders of Commander Ryder, of the Vixen, are
to put to season Saturday with the Howe and Scourge,
and accompany them to Lisbon ; call at Madeira to
announce that the Queen Dowager is on her passage
to the island, and then proceed to Bermuda, and land

the Havanna for Mr. Percy Doyle, her Majesty's
Secretary of Legation to Mexico, to communicate
with the Spanish authorities, and then go on to Vera
Cruz, and there land him and his secretary. The

gence of Vice-Admiral Sir Francis Austen, the
commander-in-chief, and is to join him, wherever he
