The 2d battalion of the 66th Regiment, now on

sad are 800 strong.

A finer set of,Officers never graced the pages of our
military history than the above ; and the country will
with confidence look for much from them, command-
ing in such a fine army as they have.
The corps comprising this army, and " which will
behanded down witt renown to posterity," are the
18th and 20th Light Dragoons, detachments of the
Royal Artillery, Royal Engineers, Staff, and Wag-
gon Corps; and the 4th, sth, 6th, Oth, 20th, 29th,
2d battalion 31st, 32d, 98th, 38th, 2d battalion 40th,
2d battalion 43d, 45th, 50th, 2d battalion 52d, sth
luttalion 60th, 71st. 82d, 2d battalion 92d, 95th, and
97th regiments of the line.
The greater part of these corps who have gained
immortal honour have been lately filled up from the
Militia; and, as will be seen, several of them were
Sid battalions, who were hastily made, and could not
have the perfection of tactics and discipline, but they
had courage, and beat the enemy. It will be recol-
lected, that the sth, 96th, 98th, 46th, 45th, 71st, and
95th, were regiments who had been in South Ame-
rica: the 71st Highlanders had there been all made
prisoners with General Benisroeto.
The 22th, who so very much distinguished them-
helves, are Lancashire men.
There will be three brigades of cavalry-two of
light and one of heavy ; Colonel Dolutint will have
the heavy, with the rank of Brigadier, and Lord W.
Remick and Colonel HAwaEn the light ; the latter
excellent officer will obtain the rank of Brigadier :
Lord PAGET will have the chief command of the ca-
valry.

We 'May 'soon expect interesting accounts from
Italy ; our army in that quarter is a fine one, and
under such a leader as Sir Joint STUART, they
will effect any thing. He has with him Major-Ge-
nerals A. M.Krtazr, OAKES, CAMPLIELLA CoLE, STU-
• ART, and LUMLEY.
We regret to hear, that at the present moment
two sne fine regiments as the 87th, or Irish Heroes,
(Sir Jon' DOYLE'S) ; and the 88th, or Connaught
',Rangers, (General Beeesroen's), are crippled by the
•Opthalmia, and kept from service by this cruel dis-
temper.
Government has pu*hased the late Mr. WITMEY'S
brewhouse, and premises adjoining, 'at Woolwich, for
the purpose of converting them into barracks for the
Royal Marines stationed there. The purchase-money

Sews Muarta.-The tunaber of men required to
volunteer from the ten regiments of Militia in Scot-
land was 2607.-The number that have molnnteered
for limited and unlimited service is 2658--Deficiency

The Portuguese regiments in the French service,.
Which were till litely in the vicinity of the Western
Pyrenees, have been suddenly removed to Avignon
and Grenoble, to prevent their obtaining a knowledge
of .tbe pitArtic'resolutic* formed by their country-
men acid the SpanliVdspand particutarly of those glo-
rious and successful eikrtions in which they weula of
course be disposed fa-co-operate.
The last accoenti from Teneriffe afford additional
-proof of the activity and extent of BoNaeatere's. sys-
tem of corruption. In consequence of strong, and it
is said well founded suipicions, the Commander in
z_hief of the Military force of the Canaries, the Mar.
.juis de CASA CAGIGAL, has been arrested upon a
ek, tharge of treason, and committed to' dose custody.
Colonel O'Doxse.c is applaud to succeed Link
