4Sd, :ova .oth 'Regiments bf Inca-atm tow on Moir return
trout Fiance, to proceed to Ireland.
It is understood the 11th and 13th Dragoons are to proceed
'to the East Indies.

The Blues, and the ttvo Regiments Of Life Guards, are re-
duced to the same Establishment as the other Cavalry Corps.
The total'of these reductions in the Cavalry, Foot Guards,
and Infantry, amounts .to more than 33,000 men and officers;
the Artillery not inclnded.
The a hovE is- the official notice lof the Army Re-
ductions, which, after considerahle alterestion,
have been agreed on. We fear it will not be easy
to make out, what is asserted on the paper, that
the reductions Will bona fide amount to more than
33;000 men. Time emphatic words, "to be re-
duced as soon as pos ilile." leave a most conve-
nient latitude to the War-Office.

It is said that the Earl of Liverpool was de-
ikons of reducing the Army to the Roth Regiment
61 Foot, but the temonstrances were so strong
front head-quarters, that all representations of the
intolerable burthen on the country were insuffi
cient, nor could he succeed in procuring the re-
duction to stop even at the 90th, as the three
higher Regiments, the 9lsf, 92d, and 93d, were
Sews, With local influence, and under high au-
spices. It will probably be found, on accnrate
and minute investigation, that the whole reduc•
t ion •viii not produce an immediate saving of
more than one arillion per annual !—(/bid.)

THE QUEEN.

" Kew, Eight o'Clock, Oct. 26.

" No change has taken place in the Queetes
health since my last. The Phy,icians, apprehen-
sive of a relapse, tvere both in attendance during
the greattr part of the night, but the Royal Pa-
6ent continued in a state of pr ,found sleep till it
hte bout this morning. Her Majesty, however,
clots hot appear to have derived the least benvfi,
ft-cm her r,•ltose. She remained throughout the
day free flow pain, Inn excessively debilitated.
" Att cr bre kt ast , this morning, Sir Henry
Halford left the Palace for Wii dsor. to attend the
Princess Sopilia. He was expected to return
to-night.

" His Royal Highness the Duke of York arrived

mained .neatly two hours with the Princesses.
During his stay, his [loyal Highness accompanied
the Princesses in their morning visit to cte-lawn
and plantations, and he then set out fur his

" The Princesses walked out several times af-

progress of the it orkmen, of whoui between ditty

evening report on the state of her Majes, y.

[The Times

We have received-a letter a' from General Gout-
gaud, a person Who has written a book to vilify
the military talents of Marshals Ney and Grouchy,
in order to save the reputation of Buonaparte as
a General at the battle of Waterloo. We insert
the letter as he desires ; but if he correspond
with us in future, he must learn to call people by
their right names. He will see what we mean,
by casting his eye over his letter in this day's
journal. We will give our readers an idea of the
excessive vanity of this silly man, or his silly
master. He asserts that the Duke of Wellington
had 85.000 of 90,000 men, when attacked by
Buonapatte at Waterloo with only 67,000; and
yet, says he,,the former did wrong to susta,n the
attack at that place, as be had only one road to
retreat by. Pray how many roads had Buona-
parte to retreat by when he committed the ac-
tion ? or how many roads did lie retreat by after
it was lost ? In this the writer most egregiously
exposes his own master. Lord Wellington, who
had eventually no occasion to retreat, had still
one good road in his rear, in case he had wanted
it. Buonaparte, who had occasion to retreat,
had no more than one road. and that a bad one;
and a brook and a narrow little bridge at Ge-
ruappe, over which it was wholly impossible to
pass withmit -destruction : so that it is pretty
clear which of the Generals fought the battle with
less skill, foresight, and prudence.

The following is the Letter alluded to, which appears in
The 111 urning Chronicle of this day :

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

London, 261 h Oct. 1818.

one,of the columns of your Paper of this day, un-
der the head of " Aix-la-Chapelle—Private Correspondence,"
it is said, " General Gourgaud, who lately addressed a letter
to the, Archduchess Maria-Louisa, begging her to interfere
with Congress in favour of her husband and his master, re-
ceived for answer to his application a present of about 30,000
francs, and positive orders to address her Imperial Highness
no more upon the subject."
The two latter asset rictus made in this article are entirely
false. A prohibition to tell the truth is not, nor can it be,
the answer to the confidential letter which I had the honour
to write to her Majesty the Empress Maria-Louisa. ot► the
99th August last. The supposition even would be injurious
to the well•known character.of. that Princess: and as to the
reception of any present whatever, it is also a mistake; I have
received, Sir, no more flattering recompense than the. ap-
probation of hOnourable men, and the satisfaction experienced
in having done my duty.
I expect from your justice the insertion of this letter in
your next Paper.
have the honour to be, Sir, your's, &c.
