THE ROYAL MARINES.

THE Corps of ROYAL MARtxeg, now acknow.
ledged from its eminent service in the Field, as well
as on the Oceatti and from its signal firmness aril
loyalty in the midst of Mutiny, to be one of the
most useful in the Serviee of the Country, as a
small I:him:lit-nem of it shared in the glory of wrest-
ing Egypt from the French dominion, so it has, in
common with the other Corps, both N:!val and
litary, which served in that tnemoratile Campaign,
shared in the marls of distinttion conferred by the
GRAND Stiostott on the British Forces, From
some delay, however, or mistake, the Medals des-
tined for the Officers of that Detachment by the
GRAND SEICNIOR, Jiave only now been transmittht
to England. From the time that has elapsed, many
of those' who served upon that occasion have retired,
and some difficulty has occurred t'n distributing to
'them this well.earned reward of their services and
valour. Lieutenant-Colonel, S:a Fru, who cO4.
mantled the Detachment of Royd Marines in Egypt.
and to whom these Medals have been transn-utted
by the British Admiral commanding in the Medi-
terranean, feelk himself upon this occasion at a logs
how to make the distribution; he therefore takes
this method, as ' the best that occurs to, him, and
.the most likely to be effeCittal, of requesting, that
those.Offieers of the Corps of Rival ,Marines with.
whornhe had the honour of serving upon the memo.
table occasion to.which the Medals refer, whether
now in attual service,' or since retired, will have
the goodness to apply fur their Medals to the Corn.
mantling Officers of the Divisioni, of Royal Marines
to. which they respeClively do, of did belong.
Lieur.,.Colonel Smirtt feels it his duty to coin.
municate a Copy of the Letters which he has received
upon this occasion limn thkfollowing distinguished
Charatters ;
