' A private letter from an Officer with the expedi-
tion against Java to his friend at Penang, describes
.thi gallant and heroic conduct of a small detachment

tory. The detachment consisted of 97 men ; and, it
is said, they attacked a body of the enemy's cavalry
amounting to about 2500, and, after completely rout-
ing them, took many prisoners. Another account
says, the charge was made with such irresistible im-
petuosity, that they absolutely rude over the men and
In-rses of the enemy.

BRIGHTON, MAY 29.--Tiesday, for the first time
this ye.ir, the Local Militia assembled in this town
had A field-day, and discharged several roundi of
blank cartridge. The practice over, the battalion
famed a square, in the centre of which their Corn-
nandanr, L eutenant-Colonel GRAHAM, addressed
tf em. The Colonel first expressed the great satisfac-
tion he had a n that occasion received from the im-
pr ved esecution of their ,duties. Their marchings,
be said, had bean remarkably good; and the close-
ness of their vollies such as to demand his praise.—
• lie next observed, that as there were many Oen pre-
sent, whose terms of service woukl expire with the
year, and many of those would, probably, wish to re.
flew and extend suck services in his battalion, he
should direct LeUteHailt-Ccionel CRIPPS to read such
clues in the Act ef Parliament that would enable
them to do so; which was accordingly done. The
Cot nel, then, in a more serious trine, called their at-
tention to a rumour that had reached him, and which
WAS, that Vine very disorderly women of the town
had endeavoured to irritate them against the veterans
of the 89th, and which rumour had been, in part,
anfirmed by somedisiutes that had taken place be-
tween a few individnals of the two battalions the night
before. The 'Colonel then bade them to recollect tl.e
many indulgences they had received from him. " I
bare scarcely (std he) made you subject to any re-:
0 *taints I have never compelled you to be in your
quarters at any given hour. I have never caused the
tattoo to be beat to regulate your retirings— and why ,
have toot done Nis?? • Why, because your conduct
has been orderly and good—because your conduct
hitherto has been that of good soldiers in the field,
and good• nd peaceablecitruns out of it. Then, for
H say Lb% sake,. do not compel me to' treat you wit'?
more.sever ty-aacontiriue that behaviour that has thus
far entitled you to my praise, and you will put it out
lof power 4-any wretched strumpet to-lead you to
acts that must.disgrace you ; and of this be assured,
that should any disorderly proceedings take place in
future. among you, the tattoo shall compel you to be

is% quarteri by nine o'clock, and patroles shall be esta-
blished, to visit you in your quarters when you are
'there, and to take you into custody ‘i hen you are not.
;As you behave, so you shall be treated; and all in-
clulgences.shall be your's, so long as you may conti-
nue to deserve them. Notwithstanding this admoni-
tion., some slight disturbances took pl ace between a
few of the privates of the 89th, and the Local Mili-
tia, on the7following night; but from what immedi-
- ate cause, does not appear ; the consequence of which
was, the beating of the tattoo; last night, as Colonel
GRAHAM had justly menaced, and the parading of mi-
litary patroles in the streets, until after daybreak this
morning. Every thing has been tranquil since.
