In contemplating the efforts of the British 'arms during
a struggle which has no parallel in modern history, anti in
which both branches of the Service surpassed all their
former achievements, it cannot but be a subject of surprise
that the Army and Navy of Britain, to which the country
owes !Hi large a share of its pre-eminent prosperity and
glory, *tumid not have hitherto possessed a distinct publi-
cation of suitable frequency, as a channel for their com-
tnunicationa, and as a record of their proceedings and ex-
ploits. To supply this deficiency, to concentrate in one
focus the scattered rays of information relative to the two
professions, and to furnish a medium for the preservation
of many valuable details which might otherwise be lost,
the United Service Journal has been projected.
It would be impossible, within the narrow compass of
this announcement to enumerate all the subjects which this
'Miscellany is designed to embrace. Conducted by Officers
in his Majesty's Service, who have ensured the effective co-',
operation of Gentlemen of high professional and literary
character, it will be uniformly animated by the same ardent
spirit of patriotism and loyalty which achieved :he triumphs
of Trafalgar and of Waterloo ; and while it upholds that
even-handed discipline, which is the bond and charter of
all armed bodies, and without which, indeed, they cannot
long subsist, it will lend its best efforts in furtherance of
every measure calculated to promote the true interests, and
to imprtive the condition of both Departments of the Service.
The contents of the work will naturally divide themselves
into several he*le, among the principal of which will be the
following :
Original Communications and Papers on ail Subjects of
General,lnterest to the Army and Navy... For this de-
partment the Conductors expect to be favoured with the
Correspondence of many distinguished Officers, who are
capable of furnishing new and important information con-
cerning the splendid events in which they have borne a
part, as well as the more familiar and deeply interesting
Narrati;es of individual adventure. It will contain also
discussions on topics connected with the more scientific
pursuits of the two professions, such as Fortification, En-
gineering, Navigation, Naval Architecture, anti Tactics in
general ; plans of proposed improvements, and hints tend-
ing to promote the health, comfort, and well-being of our
warriors of all classes, whether actively employed against
the enemies of their country, or reposing in peace under
their well-earned lame's.

Biographical Memoirs of Eminent Officers,
Review of all New Publications, either immediately re•
lating to the Army and Navy, or involving subjects of
utility or interest to the members of either.
Proceedings of both Houses of Parliament, as far as they
relate to Naval or Military Affairs.
Trials by Courts Martial, General Orders, Circulars, &e.
Promotions and :appointments, - .
Births, Marriages, Obituary.

Miscellanies, Naval and Military, comprehending such
brief Notices, Professional, Literary, and Seientific, as can-
not with propriety be arranged under the preceding heads.
It will be seen, even from this imperfect sketch, that the
plan of the United Service Journal, embraces subjects of
such extensive variety and such powerful interest, as must
render it scarcely less acceptable to the well informed
Civilian, than to the Members of those Professions for
whose use it is more peculiarly intended.
