THE 'ARMY,

Colonel BOWLES, of the Guards, Adjutant-Ge-
neral, and Colonel COOPER, of the 92d, and
Quartermaster-General of the Island of Jamaica,
will shortly embark from Portsmouth.

The 18th and 19th RegiMents of Light Dra-
goons have recently been disbanded at New-
bridge, in Ireland. The (2d Ceylon Regiment is
ordered to be disbanded.

The 33d Regiment, destined for Jamaica, but
at present detained in Ireland, will be relieved
by a Regiment from Plymouth, to which port the
15th Regiment, now in this garrison, will em-
bark on Friday.—( Hampshire Chronicle.)
We understand a provisional Battalion is to be
formed from the troops at the depot in the Isle
of Wight, for the duties of Portsmouth garrison :
the 15th Regiment will in consequence he or-
dered on another service. The military force in
Ireland is to be increased.--(Hampshire Tele-
gtqph.)

Major DuNDAs, Royal Artillery, is appointed
to command that carps at the Cape of Good Elope.
One hundred men and officers belonging to
the 22d regiment arrived at Clonmel on Tues-
day afternoon, to replace the 49th. Three com-
panies of the latter regiment proceeded early on
Wednesday to -Waterford, where transports have
been waiting for them this last•fortnight, to con-
ey them to England previous to their final em-
barkation for the Cape of Good Hope. Th 9
22d will not remain long with us ; the BGth are
shortly expected from Chatham.—(Clonmel 'Je-
rald.)

In consequence of Limerick being now head-
quarters for the Southern District, Lieutenant-
Colonel Charles Turner, our Deputy-Adjutant-
General, left Cork early on Monday morning
for that city. We_ hope his absence will only
be occasional, as his conduct amongst us, and the
ability and attention with which the duties of
his office have always been discharged, and espe-
cially in this large garrison and city, have been
most acceptable to all ranks, and to none more
[hall to our Municipal Officers.—(Cork Chro,
nick.)

A representation having been made to Govern-
ment relative to the reply given by Col. Douglac,
of the 79th Regiment, to Sheriff Cuthbert, on his
application for military aid, an inquiry was made
into the affair, and the result is, that the expla-
nation given by the Colonel was quite satisfac-
tory, both to the Government and the Com-
mander of the Forces, and their approbation
has been officially communicated to the Co-
lonel.— (Mid.)

•
The transports that take the 49th Regiment to
Bristol, is expected to bring over the 86th to form
the garrison at IVaterford.

[From the Limerick Chronicle of Wednesday.]
On Monday, Major-General Sir John Lam-
bert, K.C.8., accompanied by his Adjutant-Ge-
neral, Colonel Turner, and Quartermaster-Ge-
neral Lieutenant-Colonel Sir C. Broke, K. C. 8.,
arrived here from Rathkeale ; and this morn-
ing Sir John Lambert proceeded • for Cork,
from whence he will return in a few days.—
Yesterday, Lord Charles Manners, M. P., Col.
of the 3d Light Dragoons, arrived here from
his regiment at Newcastle.—Yesterday morning
a troop of Horse Artillery left Athlone, to be
stationed in this district ; they are to be replaced
at Athlone by a detachment of artillery from
Woolwich.—Yesterday, detachments of the 40th
and 93d Regiments arrived here, and this morn-
ing the former proceeded for Newcastle, and the
latter for Ennis.--A detachment of the 93d High-
landers is stationed at Cralloe, in the county of
Clare.—The head-quarters of the 33d Regiment
are now at Buttevant, from whence they have
sent fourteen detachments to different stations la
the county of Cork.

Lord STEWART has munificently subscribed
251. to the funds of amateur musicians of Sunder-

The county of Derby is about to have a new
gaol, calculated to accommodate 100 prisoners,
upon the most improved state of prison discipline,
and also a new houSe of correction, with conve-
niencies for 150 persons. The site fixed upon.
for the buildings contains about six acres.
On examination of the Custom-house books in
this town, we find that there is an increase
in the revenue of 10,3991. ls. 9d., from October
10, 18'20, till October 10, 1821, beyond the re-
venue of a similar period in the preceding twelve
months .—(Netorg Telegraph.) '

SMITHFIELD MARKET, Nov. 5.
There was an excellent supply of Cattle at market this morn-
ing, and the different prices of meat the same as our last week's
account, as the venders are not so anxious to sell, owing to the
coolness of the weather. The Haymarket remains much the
same in price as per our last quotation.

When we last week directed the attention of our Readers to
the Report of Smithfield Market, of the preceding Monday,
we thought nothing could be worse; but last Mon lay's R..poa
is still more so, and there appears no prospect of amendment ;
which, we fear, will materially affect the ;:eat chain of political
economy. The Grazier at the present moment appears in as
calamitous a situation as the Farmer, who has b.!en subject to
a treble expense in housing a harvest, so depreciated in value,
as not even to compensate him for the labour. Things cannot
long remain as.they. now are, and it remains with the Land-
owner to think seriously of the general pressure on the Agri-
cultural interest—and to afford all poisible indulgence to the
convenience and necessities of the industrious Tenant.—(Leices-
ter Journal.)-

[MORNEIG cnizoNr•cr.T.]
Recent advises of the highest authority, al-
though of a confidential nature, received at the
close of last week from St. Petersburgh, announce,
that notwithstanding the colouring given to the
megociationS carrying on, the war between Russia
,and Turkey •is inevitable, and this conclusion is
supported by the opinion of a Gentleman who
left the Russian capital sixteen days ago. The 1
greatest care has been taken to disguise the real
:intentions of the Emperor, so as "to make the
.professions he has so repeatedly uttered to the
states of Europe hide the secret policy by which
his Councils are actuated ; but his journey to
the head-quarters of his army, -the great stir
in the War Department, the extensive pre-
parations made, and, above all, the state of public
opinion in Russia, warrant the conclusion that it
is no longer in the power of the Emperor himself
to stop the enterprise in view, thus frustrate the
hopes of his army and people, and foil plans
M hich have been forming-at an immense expense,
-and maturing for years, when so faVonrable an
opportunity offers. Nay, in St. Petershurgli,
the doctrine is very openly avowed, at the pre-
sent moment, that if the Emperor, by listening
to the remonstrances of his Continental Allies,
were to give up the project in' question, he could
. not return to his capital without the danger of
his life, so strong and determined is the-party in
favour of a war against Turkey, even among the
members of his own family, and experience has
told us how these matters are often settled in
such a country as Russia. - •

[MORNING TIERA LD.]
The accounts of the yellow fever in Spain are
most lamentable. We have, however, accounts
from Barcelona, received at Paris, of a later date
by t-,yo days, of a different and more gratifying
nature. A private letter from Barcelona, of the
20th, received at Paris, says, " The Junta of
Ilealth and the French Physicians act in perfect
concert. The orders are better executed, and
the malady begins to subside. The generous
Doctor 13ailly, whose indisposition alarmed
his friends, and those of humanity and me-
dical science, is perfectly • recovered. - The
weather is superb—we expect that there will be
no more new cases." A second letter was received,
of the 22d,. from Doctor Bailly himself, in
NN 1,1,11 he states that the favoui.able state of the
weather, and the symptoms of the disease, gave
.promise that the yellow fever would soon lose
all its " ferocity." The French physicians
crunted on leaving Barcelona the 15th of No-
Nember. He declares, from his observation, that
the disease was but little affected by the tem-
perature hitherto, and infers from this fact that
the temperature was not its only, or principal
cause.. Despatches had reached Sir C. Stuart,
the British Ambassador at Paris, stating that his
Majesty would arrive at Dunkirk, on the 6th
(to-morrow), and embark without delay for Eng-
land.

tNEW TIMES.]

-In discussing the merits of the late begging
subscription, we cannot bring our friend of the
Chronicle to the point. Our Readers will re-
member that on Wednesday last, we " ventured"
to compare the generosity of certain individuals
towards Sir Robert Wilson, with their conduct
•en other and more interesting occasions. The
Chronicle replied in a tissue of words very oddly
'thrown together, and utterly destitute of the
shadow of an argument. We then slightly
floticed the peculiarities of his composition, re-
marked on his blundering admissions, and re-
stated the facts, and obnoxious comparison.—He
'recurs to the subject in Saturday's Paper, at-
tempts to gloss over and palliate his grammatical
errors, defends the .propriety of asserting that Sir
Robert has forfeited his Commission, (in which
:we are happy to agree with him)—but never once
alludes to the subject upon which the dispute has
arise n. We commend his prudence, and admire
his dexterity. It may perhaps be as well, before
we take leave of this silenced antagonist—to re-
cord—for the benefit of those of our Readers
who remember what the Chronicle has been—the
fact—that having published the sentence, " to
indemnify Sir Robert Wilson for a loss sustained
ty an interference that saved the lives," Bz.c. it
afterwards absolutely attempted to defend the
correctness of the phrase !!!—By reverting to
.this subject, we are aware that we expose our-
selves to the Chronicle's favourite charge against
us, that of " malignity ;" but the species of
malignity which alone .he can fasten 'upon us is
-really a very harmless one—a the malignity of
verbal criticism ! !"

[TILE TIIIES,]
Among the paragraphs of the French Papers
which directly or indirectly concern the East of
Europe, is one professing to come from Vienna,
which attaches high and mysterious importance
to Prince Metternich's visit to the Court of Ha-
nover. Suspicions connected with this subject
are thrown oat against the designs of Russia,
who, it is said, refuses to take part in any Con-
gress relating to Turkish affairs. Whether such
suspicions are the real growth of the Austrian
capital„.-or of a newspaper-office in PaciS, a little
time will decide. If may, without much rash-
ness, be asserted, that the arrangement of some
great political object must have been the mo-
tive of so long a journey, undertaken at this
advanced period of the year, by a States-
man of the age and rank, the incessant oc-
cupation, and acknowledged influence of Prince
Metternich. It would, indeed, be idie to
suppose that his mission had no further end
in view than such as might have been accom-
plished through the ordinary channels of nego-
tiation. Reports on the subject are numerous,
and conjectures active : but they must assume a
more distinct and authentic form before we in-
. troduce them to the notice of our readers. These
Paris Journals continue, with little variation,
their system of representing the affairs of Spain
wider an aspect the most unfavourable. Accord-

Ing to them, atiimosity, ana 'distraction"!
prevail throughout the country. The Moniteur,
of which the Editor is said to be a censor, calls.
the Spanish representative system 4C•a tottering
edifice :" it alleges that the loans have not suc-•
ceeded—that the taxes have not been, and will
not be, paid : but with truth, we believe,
it is asserted, that the prohibitory laws,
against foreign merchandize have wholly de-'
feated the political purposes of -those_ who'
passed them, without serving any object of
revenue. Instead of manufacturers, which it
was the scheme to encourage, those laws have
raised. whole armies of smugglers. They have
neither produced Spanish manufactures,' which
was a thing impossible, nor excludpd foreign ;
the introduction of which, and their general.con-
sumption in Spain, might have been made a pro-
lific. source of revenue : but smuggled,
.as, foreign'
goods are, against the law, into a, country where
,• smuggling has ever flourished, and will do so ever-•
lastingly in direct proportion to the rate of the
Custom-house duties, it is monstrous that the
Government should not see and obviate, by a
timely change of policy, the mischiefs of such a
course. Among the wilful disturbers of the Go-
vernment, the Clergy are described to be (and•
with justice we" imagine) the most formidable.
The Grandees preserve what is called a politic,
but is more likely a feeble and bewildered
silence; mixing little in public affairs; for which,
with very few exceptions, their early education,
their habits and character, have disqua.lifiedthem,
as a body, for conducting.

[MORNING POST.I
Accustomed as we have, been for many years
to witness the gain and loss of battles, the for-
mation and overthrow of Governments, and all
the stormy vicissitudes of a gigantic contest
waged at our own doors, the events which are
"now changing the political face of one of the
Americas, arid dissolving the last feeble links of
its connection with Spain, fail to impress us with
a due sense of their real importance. We con-
sider the war as a distant struggle which affects
interests foreign to our own. The dilapidation
of a mighty empire sinks into a series of colonial
insurrections, carried on by guerillas rather
than by armies ; and because there is no pro-
portion between the paucity of the people and
the immensity of the regions which it inhabits
but does not occupy, we are almost ashamed
to make its concerns and its fate a matter of se-
rious thought or sympathy. The time however is
come when our eyes must be opened. Indiffe-
rence has hitherto only been ungenerous, it would
now become imprudent and injurious. Through-
out the vast continent of South America as well
as in Mexico, a spirit of pacification and order
seems to have replaced the fanaticism of party
and the ferocity of war. Tired with slaughtering
each other, both the Royalists and the Patriots
manifest a conciliatory feeling, and a determina-
tion to seek in union and indpendence the wel-
fare of those countries which their unavailing
struggles have hitherto deluged with blood. The
establishment of the Mexican Empire will not,
be a solitary instance of abdicated passions and
patriotic wisdom. The example will be followed
in those regions where the want of peace and
constitutional freedom began to be felt. Already
have armistices been concluded, as though by
mutual consent, at two opposite points of the
continent, by the Patriots and Royalists of
Peru 'and the Royalists and Patriots of Ca-
raccas, for the purpose of establishing the in-
dependence of those countries, and giving them
Governments capable of insuring their feli-
city. Whether Republics or Empires, two other
mighty States may therefore shortly spring up at
Lima and at Caraccas, whose population, though
as yet scanty in comparison with the extent
of their territories, will rapidly increase under
a system calculated to encourage industry and
colonization. The whole South American Con-

tinent will then be open to foreign trade, and
for many years totally dependent upon its sup-
plies for many articles of necessity, and for all
those of luxury. Is it then matter of indifference
to our manufacturers to our merchants, and to
our country, whose revenue sinks and mounts
with the ebb and, flow of their indtistry, that

three great Empires should be rising in their
youth to consume their goods and to fill their
coffers ? If they remain indifferent, or if mea-
sures are not taken to secure to ourselves those
new channels thrown open by Providence to our
trade, others will not be so negligent, and we
shall have the mortification of having turned
away prosperity from our doors, to enrich those
who perhaps only wish to be our rivals, that they
may one day become our enemies.

[BRITISH PRESS.]
We are given to understand that intelligence
was received in town on Saturday afternoon from
•St. Petersburgh, announcing the appointment of
an Ambassador to represent the Emperor of
Russia at the Ottoman Court, in the room of
Baron Strogonoff. The name of the new Am-
bassador has not transpired, which may seem to
throw a certain portion of discredit over the state-
ment, but should the appointment of.an Ambas-
sador have really taken place, it must-be re-
garded as a certain pledge that all matters
of disagreement between Russia and the
Porte have been accommodated, , and that the
peace of Europe will not be disturbed. We
cannot at the same time avoid remarking, that
the anxiety with which the state of the money
' market has been for a few days observed,, the
doubts that prevail respecting its probable rise
or fall, and the unusual extent to which specula-
ons for a rise have been made, are well calcu-
lated to give birth to some such seasonable piece
of information as would, if true, tend to improve
the appearance of the market.

SwAr.Lows.—The remark of the late arrival of
these summer visitants was general thioughout
the kingdoms ; and in the western division of
this county, their late departure has obtained
similar notice. They are now flying in appa-
rently, undiminished numbers and strength of
wing. Naturalists have fixed their migratory pe-
riod mach earlier.—(Sussex Chronicle.)
