k transports arrive.
The Lord Lieutenant of Ireland has expressed his
approbation of the exemplary conduct cf the troops
composing the late encampment on the Curragh of
Kildare, and General Orders have been issued to that
effect. General Sir DAVID BAIP.D has also given a
public testimony of his entertaining similar sentiments.
Or. Friday the sth inst. the 4th Regiment of La.
narkshireVoluntcer Infantry, nearly 600 strong, under
I the command of Lieutenant-Colonel CHARLES WAL.
KEn, returrei from Falkirk, where they had been on

speak i i the highest terms of the attention paid to them
iby the inhabitants.
The 2d Battalion, "low at Guernsey, is in a for.
ward state of discipline, under that able Officer, Lieu-
tenant-General Sir JOHN Dorm There is no doubt
, from the favourable report he has made of their state
ofilis7ipline, they will be immediately sent on service.
1- • Lieutenant-General Sir HARRY BURRARD, who has
etc ecmmand of the expedition to Spain and Portu-
gal, at his first entering the army in 1776, held a
commission in the 60th, or Royal Am'ricans, in
rwhich regiment-he-served seven years—he was thence
I promoted to be Major in the 14th Foot. In these re-
giments he saw much actual service in America and
the West Indies. In 1789, he excbanged into the Ist
I Regiment of Foot 'Guards, of which he is now the
Lieutenant Colonel Since that period he s•m-ved mi-
lder the Duke of YORK in Flanders ; and at Ostend,
(where he was taken prisoner) he was the second in
command under Major General CdOTE. He had a
brigade in Holland, and served in the late expedition
to Copenhagen.
1 Of the three Generals commanding the principal
armies of the Corsican tyrant, in Spain and Portugal,
namely, DUPONT, BESNIZRES, and Juscrr, the Erst only
is a man of family. DUPONT was Aid-de-Camp to
the Marechal Dc BRooLlo, as long ago as the year
1762, and acquired the esteem of that Commander
tby his ability and talents. He is considered as one
of the ablest officers in BC4;CAPARTE'S service. Be',":-
SIERESs who has risen to the rank of a Marshal, was
son of an accoucheur, not far from Cahors, in the pro-
vince of Quercy. At this time he is about 17 years
of age, of a very libertine character. His devoted
adherence to NAPOLEON is supposed to have con-
duced, more than his military capacity or services, to
the elevation which he has attained. JUNOT is a natvei
of Cr leans. His origin is too obscure to be traced; and,
before the Revolution, he was a private soldier in the
French Guards. At the siege of Toulon, early in 1794,
' be became first personally known to BONAPARTE, who
there commanded a detachment of the Artillery.
His A id-deCamp being killed close to his side, while
employed in taking down a proem verbal, or notes of
•the passing transactions, BONAPARTE called out to
send him instantly-a person who knew how to read
.and write. -.luso; then in the ranks, possessing
' these qualifications, was selected to fill the place
of the Aid-de-Camp who had fallen. But scarcely
had he written a few lines, which BONAPARTE dic-
tated, when a cannon ball, that tore up the grotmd
before them, filled their eyes with dust—J, How
fortunate !" observed JUNOT, with perfect com-
posure—'' I wanted some sand for my paper, and
here it comes !" The rang fraid with which this
remark was made, attracted BONAPARTE'S atten•
tion, who certainly appears to have noticed and at.
tached to him men of energy or capacity, from an
early period of his political career. He demanded
of JUNOT his name, and from that day retained him
near his own person. He has risen ander his master
to the summit of revOlutionary honours, dignities,
and emoluments. At this time he is Governor-General
of Portugal, Colonel-General of the Hussars, a Ge-
neral on the Staff, Governor of Paris, and Duke of
Abrantes, one of the most ancient extinct Portuguese
titles. His income, including the lands assigned him
in Poland, does not fall short of 17,0001. sterling
a-year. JuNor is in the vigour of his age, of a figure
uricooth and vulgar ; his face seamed with scars, and
his manners corresponding with his external appear-
ance. He married, nevertheless, a few years ago, an
Albanian Princess ; and his decision, as well as capa-
city, authorise us to expect that he will not,let Lisbon
fall into.= hands; without making a vigorous de-
fence.
