THE ARMY.

• INsPEciloif.---Tliis morning, at nine o'clock, a
general muster of the 3d battalion of the let Regiment Grena-
dier Guards took place opposite their Barracks, in Bird Cage
Walk, St. James's Park, and were inspected by Col. WOOD.
FORD, and other Officers of the same battalion. On the batta-
lion forming in line; the Commanding Officer, Col. WOOD-
FORD, proceeded along the ranks, front and rear, and minutely
inspected the whole of their accoutrements, clothes, &c., which
appeared in very good condition ; and the military discipline of
the men themselves, who seemed all in perfect health and
'Spirits, gave general satisfaction to their Superior Officer. The
battalion, after performing several evolutions with the greatest
precision, were then dismissed, in the presence of a crowd of
spectators—His Royal Highness the Duke of YORK, COM.
mander-in-Chief, will to-morrow morning inspect in person the
same battalion, on the Parade in St. James's Park.
A detachment of recruits belonging to the 65th (or 2d York

tinned.

Another detachment of recruits also embarked yesterday
from the Leith Wharf, on. board smacks, in order to be con-
veyed to Glasgow, where the head-quarters of the 99th (now
raising Regiment of Foot) are at present stationed.

and the following are its chief heads :
The Society is established for the usual purposes of Assurance
Companies.
The Capital is Two Millions, divided into forty thousand
Shares of 501. each ;
,51. is to be paid upon each share, towards
which 21. has been deposited, with a liability of forfeiture on
non-payment of the remainder when called for.
The holder of 10 shares will be entitled to one vote, 30 to
two votes, and 50 to three votes. The holder of a policy foi the
whole term of life for 10001. will, after two annual payments,
be entitled to one vote, 30001. to two votes, and 5000/. to three
votes. It is competent to vote in respect f both these classes
of qualification.
No person can hold more than one hundred shares, unless by
Act of Law or by bequest, except the Directors and Officers,
who may each hold three hundred, but no number of shares
confers more than three votes.

tors' realised capital will be paid to the shareholders annually ;
and when such capital shall, by the accumulation of the remain-

of the annual interest will be so paid, and the personal respon-
sibility of the Proprietors will then cease.

Theintelligence froni Greece continues to be
of a.highly favourable kind, .as respects the con-
solidation-of-the Government, and the unanimity
of .the People.

The subjoined letter from Cairo, dated the 15th
instant, -Would seem to spew that the reported
revolt -of the Pacha of EGYPT was at least
premature, 'if not altogether without foun-

dation. It must be recollected, however,
that the original accounts stated that the
'Divan had made magnificent offers to the
Pacha, with the view of securing his
alle-
giance, or decoying him into the power of the
Porte; and it is therefore still not improbable
that he has gone to review his troops previous to
putting himself at their head for the maintenance

of his own independence, rather than for..the pur-
pose of marching them against the Greeks :

.
" CAIRO, r ... Is.—The PASHA has gone to Upper Egypt
to inspect his new raised corps, accompanied by Mr. SALT,
the British Consul, and Monsieur DROVETTI. He has raised
and disciplined about 25,000 men, and is about forming - a
Regiment of Cavalry, with European Officers.
" IBRAHIM PASHA, the only son and heir of the PAstrA,_
has lately become quite reconciled to the system and views or
his father, and has entered cheerfully into his plans. 05m.%14-
EFFENDI is "ri the head of the College, and is doing 01 1,1
his power to promote the arts and. scienees. He has
into Italyand France; and is well informed. Several young:
men (Copts) from Egypt are in Italy pursuing their studies at
the expence of
_the .PASIIA.
So far from the.PASIIA having an idea of making himself
independent, he has just received instructions from the Porte
to take the entire direction of the conduct of the war against-
the Greeks in the Morea, . ;t is not known what these instruc.!
'tions arc, but it is certain that the. PASHA has great influence
in the Divan at Constantinople. . •
" Mr. BURTON, who has for same years been employed by
the. PASHA in -.making geological discoveries in Egypt, may
shortly be expected in London, and it is supposed will publish
a very interesting work on the subject. The PASHA has offered
to afford every facility to steam-boats from England."

When the. French were talking of their hi-
tended evacuation of Madrid, for the purpose of
trying the spirit of the Spanish capital, we stated
as our opinion, that their real object was to give
an opportunity for the occurrence of some dis-
orders that might serve as a pretext for the
continuance of their troops in the Peninsula.

From a Madrid letter, which appears iu the
Morning Herald of to-day, it would appear that
the 'same opinion is entertained by persons resid-
ing on the spot, and who have therefore the hest
opportunity both of observing the conduct and

estimating the views and motives of the French
Commanders. From the letter referred to,
which is dated the sth inst., «e select the fol-
low passage:—

" The divided and subdivided state of the Constitutionalists,
their exilement from their homes and from their country, make
it evident that they have no patty any where physically strong
nough, or, it ought to be supposed, morally weak enough, to
engage in any attempt at the present moment, or for a consider-
able time to come, should the French troops be withdrawn. It
is, therefore, manifest that all has been a scheme—if not
of the French, then of the Royalists, whether of the Govern-
ment of the friars, or of the police—arranged for the purpose
of showing the disturbed state of thecountry, and the necessity
for the French remaining here to keep all quiet, as according
to the Convention, they should evacuate Spain in July next, if
the state of affairs weuld permit it. This farce has, therefore,
been got up, on purpose to afford this pretext. The artillery
has returned from Aranjuez, another French regiment has
come- in, and the treasury and hospitals have been ordered to
remain in Madrid.

CITY, Twelve o'Clock.—This day is a close
Holiday in the City. The Bank, Stock Ex-
change, and Foreign Market, are all shut ; some
few respectable Brokers, however, have assem-
bled en the Royal Exchange, and bargains have
been made for to-morrow in Consols at 96, which
is much the same as th?y left off at. yesterday, for
Money. As yet there does nut seem to be any
business of consequence going forward. I do
not hear of any Expresses having arrived from
Paris. Scarcely any thing is doing in Foreign
Securities. Some Colombia Scrip has just been
done at 4 prem;utn.

In our fourth page we have inserted the De-
cree of the King of the NETHERLANDS, for the
formation of the new Company for the promotion
of Commerce and Agriculture, to which the wise
Government of that Prince has given birth. Our
readers will perceive that the Decree recognizes
and distinctly proclaims, that it is the duty of a
Government to give protection and encourage-
ment to the industry of the people over whom it
presides ; and that the simple fact of any portion
of the national interests being in a languish-
ing condition, or even not progressing with that
rapidity of which they arc susceptible, is at
any time sufficient evidence that the aid of
skilful legislation, or of the executive power, ought
to be forthwith exerted for giving the required
impetus to the creation and circulation of wealth.
With this safe, enlightened, and practical
principle for the basis of its internal economy,
the kingdom of the Netherlands cannot fail to
advance rapidly in the career of wealth and power.
Our own Government has censured the employ-
ment of so much British capital in Foreign Loans;
and yet, from deference to the theories of the
Political Economists, it refuses to take any
one step for giving to the supposed surplus
capital of the country a beneficial direction.
Would that it would imitate the sound policy
of the King of the NETEERLANDS, and by the
creation of a great company, which, under the
sanction of the Legislature, should undertake the
improvement and employment of the Irish pea-
santry, and other great national objects in,
various parts of the Empire, and thus give
a new impetus to the public prosperity,
commensurate with our mighty powers and re-
sources, which require only skilful direction
and cultivation to produce the most valuable and
important results.

Gibraltar Papers to the 30th of March were
received yesterday. A letter from Tangiers,
dated March 21, states that Ben Y'Show, the
chief of the province of Garb, has had an engage-
ment with one of the marauding tribes of his dis-
trict, in which he has lost 30 men. Muley Sheid
has "given up the siege of Mequinez, and gone to
Tafilet, having, it is said, secured .in the Atlas
mountains a safe place of retreat ; while the Go-
vernor of the Black Ilonclaya, at Mequinez, has
sent to the Emperor a considerable remittance
from the Treasury at that place. One of the
Beribber tribes have also submitted to the Em-
peror, sending their women as hostages to Fez.

Letters were yesterday received from Jamaica
to the Ist March. It appears that the Island
was perfectly tranquil.
The Princess AUGUSTA and Prince LEOPOLD
dined with the Duchess of KENT yesterday at
her apartments at the KING'S Palace, Kensing-
ton•—Yesterday the Duchess of GLOUCESTER
visited tl►e Princess AUGUSTA.

Accounts were__ received yesterday in town
from Bath, stating that the Earl of LtvritrooL
had derived much benefit in his health from
drinking the waters.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHVITIER anti
Lady SARAiI ROBINSON are on a visit to Lady
BUCKINGHAMSHIRE, at Charlton, in Kent.
Yesterday his MAJESTY'S bounty, called the
Gate Alms, was distributed to a number of poor
men and women, at the Almonry Office, in Scot-
land Yard, by Mr. HANBY, the Secretary to the
Lord High Almoner.
The Duke of Your:, we bear, will pass his
month or six weeks at the Pavilion, in the sum-
mer, the same as last season ; we wish we could
add that there was a probability of his MA.
ixsty's being with us at the same time. A re-
port is current that the Royal Commander-in-
Chief intends paying us a visit early in the month
ensuing.--(Brighton Paper.)
