“ Mr. PerrLvrow,

Our correspondents at Portsmouth, Harwich, Deal,
and Ramsgate, inform us, that the utmost activity
prevails at those places to forward the grand expedi-
tion.

We understand that the division of the army from
Kent will first go off, and that the " advance of the
army," under StrJom Hoes, will make the attempt,
and be followed by the body of the army. We believe
that it is determined on, that the grand army shall be
commanded by Lord CHATHAM. Though he has not
been much employed in active service, military men
allow that there is no man in the army better ac-
quainted with his profession than Lord CHATHAM
there now occurs a glorious opportunity to signalize'
himself.

This morning, at fire o'clock, 532 men, forming
companies of the, Coldstream and Sd Regiments of
Foot Guards, from Knightsbridge and Portman-
street Barracks, were drawn up on the Parade in St.
James's Park, under the command of Lieutenant-Co-
lonel 81-No. They were all tine young fellows, and
picked men, several of whom had served in Egypt.
As they passed through the Horse Guards, the Life
Guards were drawn up, and the populace gave them
three cheers.

The march of the 77th from Winchester to embark
is delayed till next week.
The part of the grand expedition which starts from
Portsmouth is at present under the command of Ad-
miral OTWAY and of Sir EYRE COOTE.

Saturday the Royal Stan nary Local Militia marched
into Plymouth Dock and Plymouth, en permanent
duty for 28 days.
A detachment of the Royal Artificers corps, at
Plymouth Dock, is ordered to prepare for embarka-
tion, on foreign service.
The 2d Royal Lancashire Militia marched into
Long Room Barracks, Stonehouse, last week, in seve-
ral divisions from Hull. The Ist Lancashire, now
at Plymouth, march for Bristol, in the ensuing week.
The Essex Militia have also marched into Ply-
mouth garrison.
So great is the anxiety of Government to forward
the Grand Expedition, that they have proposed to
employ foreign vessels as transports. A notification
to this effect was made on Saturday. They are to
be hired at the rate of 255. per ton, provided they are
ready early in the week.
