THE ARMY.

On account of the very unfavourable late of the
weather, She grand review at Pnrtfdown Hill was
deferred from Wednefday till Thurfday lel On
Wednefday his RoystheHighnefs the Duke of Core.
, with a party of his friends, were fplendidly
entertained by Sir GEORG. I'atvnsr, Bart. the Lien-
tenant Governor of Portfmouth ; the Royal Duke
Beeped at Sir Genius's houfe on Wednefday. Oa
Thurfday morning, attended by Sir Gsnacie Pa■-
TosT, Sir TIIOIII4IB Drat, Major Generals WARD and
EveLsrom, Admirals MONTACVI and Maims, he
reviewed the aoth regiment, two brigades of artillery,
and three brigades of infantry on Pnrtfdown Hill,
where there was a confiderable allemblage of the La-
dies and Gentlemen of the neighbouring country.
Colonel 'densest got much credit for the appear.
ante of his fine regiment, the 4oth ; as did Baron
De ROTTLaBURO, for the sth battalion of the 6ctb;
however, nothing could equal the appearance which
the three excellent regiments of Militia made. The
Duke and his party went from the field to Wu-eche/ler
to disc with Mr. SILVIA, the Mayor.
We arc convinced that not only our military, but
readers of every clefs, would be delighted to fee by
the lag Gazette, a Br hill regiment conferred on that
brave and molt able Officer, Sir Jour' STVART—
we hope higher as well as more fubtiantial ho-
nours await him. General STAIIWI z, of the Guards,
has got the regiment which Sir Joss* railed, viz. the
Q4een's Germans. On the hero of Maida too many
honours cannot he heaped. We may he proudly
confident, when we know that we have feveral he-
-100 who rank with even the her.. of Maida, ♦iz.
Sir Jews Moons, General Loos.nw„Sir Jamss

Mott of the regiments now at the Cape expeet to
be loon moved on to India, fu that force regiments
mutt foon be fent to the Cape, as well as to the Welt
Indies, from this country.

We have heard that it is in agitation to fend tome
of the Getman regiments from Ireland to Sctland,
and every ad battalion now in that kingdom will be
moved to Ireland.

The sd battalion of the Stb, or King's Regimen.,
ctsmmanded by Lieutenant Colonel Young, which
was fume time at Berwick, will be one of the fit ft fur
Ireland.
