“ PORTSMOUTH, JULY ILI.

" The Expedition has not yet dropped down to
St. Helen's, and various reports are circulated ; most
of them agree that it will not now proceed to its
original destination; some say that Sir Eras COQT:74
General FRASER) and Lord PACIZT) will come on shore,
and that General GRAHAM proceeds with the troops
to Spain, to co-operate with Sir Aiimust Wrizastirr.
Other reports again mention, that all of the troops
Rill be disembarked here."

" DEAL. JULY

" All the troops are not yet embarked ; the 2d
rifle regiment (Germans) are still in barracks. To-
day they are busy in the fleet, changing wine regi-
ments that were in men of war into transports, whose
:mops go into the men of war. Lord MALIN% divi-
;Jon are now to go in transporti.

JULY 23.

" Arrived the PRINCESS OR °RATIO,* ADAMANT,
fists, Couttaosux, and ULYSSES, from the Nore.—
The concourse of people here for this week, but this
day in particular, is beyond ever/ conception, from
all parts of the country, to see the Expedition assem-
bled in the Downs, which never was sb full of ship-
Ping, there being at present nearly 1000 at anchor,
and more daily arriving.
" A number of the Deal men have volunteered to
go on the Expedition, in their hovelling boats, which
are getting ready as fast In possible.

ANOTHER LETTER, SAME DATE.

"The Expedition is still here. The 2dlight battalion
of the King's German Legion are not yet embarked,
for want of ships. All the Officers of the Reserve

are ordered on board this evening, by which many
believe that part of the army will sail first. The bad
hews will have no effect on the sailing of the Expe-
dition, which is certainly meant for the Scheldt—they
will not be long out ; bens are laid that they will
not be out a month."

The permanent duty of the 3d regiment of Argyll
Local Militia, commanded by Colonel M'LEAN of
Ardgour, terminated at Oban, on Saturday the Bth
instant. This regiment, which is a fine body of ser-
viceable men, was that day inspected by three Deputy
Lieutenants, who expressed their satisfaction with the
advanced state of discipline at which it had arrived
during the short period it was assembled.

Monday last, owing to some misunderstanding be.
tween the officers and privates of the Paisley Regi-
ment of Local Militia, a tumult ')f a very alarming
aspect took place. The streets, between the hours of
eight and eleven o'clock in the evening, were crowded
with dissatisfied soldiers and indignant women. Some
outrages were committed, and a number of the men
were sent to the guard-house, there. Next day, a de-
tachment of the Ist Regiment, and another of the
Stirlingshire Militia, marched from Glasgow Bar-
racks for Paisley ; for which place, also a party of
cavalry marched from Hamilton.
