—The Brigade allotted to General SLADry has since been put
under the orders of General MitmettwokAg, the former, having
been ordered to Portsmouth to take the command of the Cavalry
embarking there.

The PRINCE proceeds early next week to Portsmouth,
to take leave of Colonel LEIGH and his regiment. The
Duke of CUNIBERLAND goes about the same time, and
General VYSE, to take leave of their regiments.
Never was the departure of any corps more regret.
ted than that of the 7th Dragoons, at Ipswich, by
the inhabitants and neighbouring country gentry.

Mr. Jows TROTTER, the Assistant Deputy Store-
keeper-General, has gone out to Sir HEW DALRYM-
PLE'S army.

E. BROWN, Esq. to whom the 2d battalion of the
78th regiment has voted an address, with a piece of
plate, was Surgeon to the regiment.
Amoeig military men, k is reported, that several
new General Officers are going out to our armies in
Portugal and the Mediterranean. We Mention the
names of the following as we had them, without pre-
tending to know if they really do go :
• I Lord CATIMAIT, to command.

General THORNTON.

At Portsmouth, Plymouth, and Falmouth, they
are all eager on the out-look to see those distinguished
officers Sir HEW and Sir HARRY land ;.but the officers
whom we have seen in town all say, that Sir HARRY
certainly will remain in the chief command of the
army.
Saturday a detachment of the 18th, or Royal Irish
Regiment of Infantry, marched into Southampton
from Gloucester, and embarked for the Isle of Wight.
We have much satisfaction in recording the follow-
ing honourable testimony to tke memory of Lieute-
nant-Colonel TAYLOR, of the 20th Light Dragoons,
communicated in a letter (dated September 20,) from
an Officer of high rank on the Staff of the British
army serving in Portugal Two days ago, the
French General of Cavalry, KELLERIIILIS, paid his
memory the compliment of sending back his horse, as
a ptesent to the '2oth Light Dragoons—when Colonel
TAYLOR fell, it was taken."

The Ayrshire Militia, commanded by Sir DAVID

HUN ran BLAIR, go to the quarters of the 2d battalion
35th regiment, at Chichester. The 35th expect to go
to Ireland ; the 2d Somerset Militia go .to Gosport ;
the Cheshire to Liverpool, and the West Essex to
Gosport.
The cathp on Dover Heights broke up on Monday
morning, when the Warwick Militia marched to Can-
terbury, and the detachments of the York and Shrop-
shire to the Castle.

Monday last, the 94th Regiment, or Scotch Bri-
gade, was inspected at Dunbar by General HOPE,
who was pleased to express his high approbation of
the state and appearance of this corps.
Yesterday, a route was received at Lewes for the
10th or Prince's Regiment of Light Dragoons, and
the first division marched this day for Portsmouth;
the whole regiment will be embarked by MOnday.

A letter from a person lately a prisoner of war in
France, dated Gill ngham, Oct( ber 3, says :—Having
seen an account relative to the English prisoners of
war in France, and having recently left that place,
after a residence there of four years as a prisoner of
war, three months of which I was confined in the
common prison at Sarrelibre (formerly Sarre Louis)
must beg leave to acquaint you that in addition to
three farthings per day, the sailors are allowed one
pound of bread, and half a pound of beef (certainly
a very short half pound, and the offal is also weighed
in with the meat), and out of the pay 2,td. per month
is stopped from each prisoner to pay for his bedstead;
the remainder part of the statement I believe to be
correct; I left Verdun on the 4th of June, 1808."

Sunday se'nnight, at the Richmond Tavern, Daw-
son-street, Dublin, one of the under waiters, by at-
tempting to swallow a piece of beef steak, was almost
instantly chocked. The circumstance was so sudden,
and the event se melancholy, that the whole neigh-
bourhood was immediately alarmed. SurgeonCramp-
ton, who lives opposite the tavern, was consequently
resorted to, who, on examining the body, found the
vital principle completely suspended—and, with great
promptness and presence of mind, made an incision in
the windpipe, and, introducing a quill, continued to
inflate the lungs by blowing into them, until symp-
toms of returning life did not a little astonish the ap-
palled spectators. The poor man is in a fair way of
recovery.
