THE EXPEDITIONS.
Were it mot that Lord LAUDIRDALI has lama ?
kt out for Paris, we ilsonld have been inclined that 40
(eventl ciretunaances compelled with the Expedition
to Sicily teemed rather to indicate *ppm-4140ns of
the failure of the negociation. The Guards, who have
been for fame time kept rather is an undee'cled *ate
at Chatham, Deal, Ratnfgate, &c. and marched and
counter-marched in various direaions, after being at
length embarked, have been ordered to proceed with,
all expedition to Portentous!), whence the apediLion.

.1 Is my lea, I mentioned with furprWe that the
'braes jed were at three o'clock marching down the
town, noesobark, (wind S. W. blowing very hard) *
three hundred of them got out board, and 'every at-
tempt of nautical lkiU, ander the immediate dirge.
tion of Lord Retro, was tried to get them out, bat
in vain s not even the cutters or loggers could wea-
ther the norm. Hundreds of fpedat.,r, ainti• way
waited the event; but the wind increafed fo meths al-
com pan ied with heavy rain, that theeffort was obliged
to be abandoned. At night, fuch of the troops as
could not find room in the barracks, were quartered
on the publicans, except about son, who dept on board :
the two large tranfports. There, early in the morning,
were pat on board the Hound and Elgin cutters„ and '
the Speculator logger, and failed for the Downs to
the tranfports.
" About one o'clock this day, after very heavy
forms of wind and rain, the remaining Soo melt I
were marched again down to the Pier, and embarked '
in the above cutters, with the addition of the Sault
cutter, which was warped our in fpite of wind and
I weather, molt heartily greeted by hundred, of fpec.
talon. From the turbulence of the waves, denting
over deck, it was at left found impoffible for the two
large tranfports to get out ; they fill remain here 1
with the troops on hoard, but are espeded to get
away about midnight.

The sad Regiment has not an Officer married
in the whole regiment, except the Surgeon, ( who in
permitted to take his wife). General Idoorta difeou.
rages matrimony in his Officers, until they retire fioat
the fervice, yet 1 cannot fay his men take the fame
advice ; for we raw feveral difireffing fcenes of wives
leaving their hulbands, with little fucking children
at their breath, and others, farther advanced,hanginto
upon their fathers' necks, who parted with them with
apaterual fondnefs, which drew tearsfrom many ( f the,
Ipedatorr. lam happy to add, that the benevolent
hand of Charity was liberally held out to thefe truly
to be pitied mothers and children, with every con• I
ciliatory attention by the Ladies and Gentlemen pre.
fent. Let us hope that they will live to fee their
country's Champions return again to their happy
foil, and beloved families.

" 'Two more tranfports arrived here this day.

At two o'clock this day the 6zd regiment
marched into town from Deal ; they are in the bar-
racks, where they are to remain until tomorrow, be.

one of the three tranfpnrts now in the harbour. Se.
veral cutters and loggers arc in the Pier, ready to
take them, in addition to the three tranfpottv, to thee
Downs. They have brought with them an amazing
number of w••rocti and children. The trnoph had
