AimisEiLLEs, Dec. 9.—The English and lot--
!inn troops who landed here on the 13th of Last
ted us on the 4th inst Both officers
and so.,;iers regrett.ed their departures.and many
of them shed tears when they werq obliged to
eMbark: Thirty-two fine transports had been.
prepared for their reception. In traversing th'e
street, the hands of these regiment! played the
air Vive Henry IV.' and were followed by
crowds of the inhabitants.
" During their 'stay at Marseilles, many Eng-
lish- soldiers had married servant girls, and the
latter embarked very cheerfully With their hus-
bands. It may be justly said in praiie of these
troops, and of the ,officers who commanded
them, that they constantly observed the strictest
discipline. The slightest infraction of Military
regulation, even intoxication, was punished.
" The Italians were subjected to the same die--
cipline ; but among them slighter faults were pu-
nished by a military promenade. The delintinenti;
loaded with their arms and baggage, were corn:
pelled to walk backwards and forwards in a..very
confined space, for from' four to six hours at et
time, under the girders of a cotporal. Besides
the ennui, it may be readily conceived how pain-
ful their march must have beeti in the time of
great heats, and in narrow roads confined within
high walls, like those in the vicinity of Mar-
seilles.

" all the houses whore the English soldiers
Were lodged, they sought to make themselvei
useful, and were always distinguished by very
great cleanliness. They had a particular prede-
liction for little infants, whom they often carried
iu their arms, to the great satisfaction of the
nurses. The Italians, on the contrary, were al-
ways very filthy, and less tamil,ar."

goon Gnarls, 7th and 16th Hussars, and of the
6th, :23d, 29th, and 95th Foit, embarked 'this

spective regiments in Frances Sir GEORGE No-
GENT also sailed in the Earl of Buckinghamshire
yacht fur 'Calais, to take command under hiS
Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON. The weather
has been so extremely boisterous and unsettled,
that we have had no arrivals trom France since
Friday morning ; it is at present moderate ; we
may therefore expect the French mails, and more
of the troops, in the night.
hit e p. m.—The Success passage vessel, of and
from Boulogne, is ju,t arrived with a great num-
ber of passengers. Nineteen sail of transports,
passage vessels, with troops, are now coming into

the necessity of any drag, the horses descend with
ease. The experiment was made by two horses
drawing a load of Ellice tons, with the g rear est
ease, up and down G.iy-street. It ''as accom-
