THE ARMY.

The following. Document has been issued from
the War Office:— . .

shall become unfit for service, anti who shall, in eonsequenve,
prefer a claim to retirement on half-pay, or roll pay, is, if serv-
ing with the regiment, battalion, or corps, to. which Lee belongs,
to apply in writing to his Commanding Officer, stating the par-
ticulars of
_his service in the arinv, his age, and the cause of his
becoming unfit" tot service, which application is to be for-
warded to the Commander-in-Chief, through the General Of-
ficer commanding on the station where the corps shall be
serving, whether at home' or abroad, accompanied by a Celti-
fiCate ron) the Senior Medical Officer of the Regiment to
which_ the Officer belongs, expressing the cause of the 011icer's
becoming notit for service, and the probability or improba-
bility of his being again lit t, be employed.

Sotne movements have already taken place
amongSt the British troops quartered in. Paris;
the Staff Corps has been marched to Dngay, and
the Head-quatters Staff* are to be transferred to
some adjoining station.—(Morning Chronicle).
The tact is, that there arc no British troops
quartered in Paris ; nor are any,of the British
troops in the neighbourhood of !saris in quarters
at all—they are all in encampments. AS tor.
movements, there is not a week in tvhicb..some
partial change is not made by altering the sitta-,
lion iu which different Regiments are encamped.
For instance, last week the 9th Regiment of In-
fantry was moved from the camp of St. Denis to
that of Nettilly. The principal dispositions of the
British army are unchanged.
A strong reinfOrcement for the African corps,
consisting chiefly of men selected from the prison
ships, were einharkedlast week for Sene;ol.
The 20th regiment ,from Waterford, and the
54i1l regiment. from Dublin, have 'parched fur the
County of Tipperary, where their presence was,
we tear, much required.

A letter from Rio de Janeiro►, dated the 24th
of July, was yesterday received. It states that all
French ships in the ports of the Brazils have been
put under enibargo ; and that a decree of Govern-
ment had licen passed to confiscate :rll French
property, and to declare every riencliMan resid-
ing in the country a prisoner of war. This mea-
sure had been taken, it seems, in consequence of
certain information having been communicated to
that Government, that a number of French emis-
saries from the Party of -IluoNAe.vaTP, hail lately
arrived in that country, under mercantile pretea-

steins.
Letters of the 15th inst. from ifourdeaux state,
that several of the vagabonds disbanded from the
tirmy.of the Loire, on their arrival there, paraded
the streets vt;ith the tri•coloured cockade, .shont-
-ing Vice l'Empereur ! This insolence, however,
hail nearly obtained for them a hearty drubbing;
for. the loyal Bordelais assembled in.great own-.
bers, •and were beginning to inflict summary pu-
nishment on'the traitors, when a body of the Na-
tional Guard arriving to keep order, the tri-co-
!mired gentry were grad CO skulk off 'under their
-protection.

the-landing here of a British. Officer from Ostend,

French army, :Ind- taken at the battle of Wa-

The cause assigned for his traitorous comb!" is
from having, when iu the Peninsula wilt the im-
