THE ARMY.

Jur.v B.—On Friday, the Tact division
of Ihe 96th Regiment, under the command of
Lient.-Colonel s.l‘Cart by, arrived itt Limerick,
from Cast!char.

It is stated that the 72d Reginte►►t has proceeded
to India, from the Cape of Good Hope.
On the breaking up of the Arn►y in'France,
should the state of affairs in India still resider it
imperious, no doubt is ent►•ttaiued but that six of

be Regiments lately named will be sent on an
expedition to the Marytiii of. Hastings. Of these,
it is said; two brigades will be formed—one to be

unmet the orders Of Littat.-Geoerd Sir James
Kemp, aod the other under 'Major-General Sir
Manly Power.

The Bullish Contingent has encamped its first
division on the glaeis at Cambray—other divisions
►rill also he encamped ; and, as soon as the bar-
v►st is got in, the whole will be reviewed by his
(race the Duke of Wellington, on the plains of
St, Omer, prior to the return of the army to
England.

The 14th regiment, from Chichester, has esta-
h►i.hed its depot (parters at Chatham, since the
embarkation of the draft from the late 2d batta-
lion, under Colonel Tidy, destined for the Ist, in
India.

On Wednesday morning last, one troop of the
Scors Greys marched from liiershill barrAcks, on
their route by Biggar, &c. for Portpatrick. The
remaining troops follow as soon as they are re-
lieved by the 6th, or Enniskillen Dragoons, num
on their march trom England.

The first, or Royal Dragoon Guards, from Eng.•
land, are to relieve the first, or Royal Dragoons,
K;lmArnoek, Ayr, &c., when the latter Regi-
ment proceeds to Ireland.

On lirpintsd4y murning the 50th Regiment
rmarelied int() Drogheda front Derry, on their route

On Friday, a detachment of the gallant 42i!
Highlanders arrived at Drogheda, from Dundalk,
to tep!ace the 45th.
Ti4e 44th have, we understand, received orders
to march front Waterford to Kilkenny, on the
19th. The 27th are expected in Waterford on the
9 h

The 80!1) Regiment has, in addition to its neoer
deteched services, sent two coorla i nits in aid of
the garrison duties of Chatham.

The 4th West India ltegi►nent entertain a con-
fident expectation of l►eing sent to Sierra Leone,
ti,r service in that colony.

Should the movement of the 4th \Vest India
Regiment from Gibraltar be effected, the left wing
of ►he Itoyal African, corps, at Sierra Leone, in
all probability, would join head-tptarters at the
Cape of Good Hope, where it some time since re-
lieved the 33d Regiment.

MATTHEW GREGORY LF.wts, Esa.—The
aC-
counct of the death of this Gentleman was so
briefly stated that the Public in general are not
aware that he was highly distinguished in the
literary world, first by the production of his well-
known Romance, entitled The Monk, and after-
wards by several dratortic Works and Poems of
considerable merit.—The Monk was written in the
ardour of youth, and he lived to regret that he
haul published a work too well calculated to in-
flame the passions of unreflecting minds. He was
a good scholar and a man of taste. But, high as
were his talents and acquisitions, he was still
more estimable in his private character. No man
had a more liberal disposition, and the benevo-
lence of his heart was akvays manifested in the
mildness of his deportMent. He may, indeed, be
said to have fallen a victim to his benevolence,
for having great property in Jamaica, he thought
he might ameliorate the c;lninit ion of his Negroes
by visiting that Island, where he caught a fever,
and died on' ship-board, cu his return to this
country.

WALsn, Esq. who has so long and ao ably
conducted himself in the discharge of Itis duty as
Inspector of the Aliens who arrived at Gravesend,
has been appointed Superintendent of Quarantine
in tl River Thames.

Mr. and Mrs. C. KFMBIA. we find, are en-
gaged under new articl►s for three yea'rs at Co-
vent-Garden Theatre. The IT, hlic, we are as-
sured, will rejoice at the contimnence of so ex-
cellent an Actor on the. London Boards, and at
the restoration of an Actress who has very fen•
equals in talent, and none in acquisitions and
accomplishments.
