ARMY.

Much credit is due to his Royal Niemen the Com-
mander in Chief, for his attention in vifiting the
troops at Portfmou:h, and himfelf examining their
date, previoully to their failing for fervice in a foreign
and dillant climate. His impartiality is in this kliid-
ly manifefled to the troops of the line : after having
Viftted the Guards at Chatham before they marched
off, the line have the fame attention (hewn them, fo
that all grounds of jealoufy are removed now.

To the great fatisfaßinn ofthe inhabitants of Win-
cheller and Southamption, that very fine regiment
the 14. th Light Dragoons, are with them. The very
high Rate to which Colonel Hawitsit has brought
this fine regiment, makes them an objet of curiofity
to Cavalry Officers and military men in general.
The zath among our cavalry, is what the 43d and
52d regiments (theft of General MOOR I'S fchool), -
are in our infantry.
The z3th Foot, commanded by the Hon. Colonel
CoLviu.c, are about to march from Wincheßer for
Ringwood.

The Ili battalion 88th Foot, one of the Regiments
ordered for the Expedition, has been coontermanded.
We are much concerned to learn that the 28th and
ad battalion sad Regiment hill continue in the molt
deplorable Rate, from the raging of the Egyptian
opthalmia in them. Surgeon Boa LAND, Dr. KNIGINT's
Deputy, has been fent down to them.
We hear that the 14th and gift Regiments are re-
covering from the contagious fever which lately raged
in them, and arc likely to be again fit for fervice.
Two of the regiments, regarding whole fafety
doubts are entertained, in their paffage from Gibral-
tar to the Sicilian Army, are the well known 4.2 d, or
Royal Highlanders, ;ft battalion, and the tit batta-
lion of the gad, or Gordon Highlanders, who ac-
quired immortal credit in Egypt with Assacaoss sr .
Three regiments of the German Legion relieved three
regiments at Gibraltar, who proceeded to join oar
army in Sicily.

Yefierday morning,marched into Deal from Ramf-
gate,the Perth(hire Militia, and were quartered in that
town till the Barracks are evacuated by the sd Cold-
itream Regiment of Guards, who have received or-
ders to go to Chatham.
The t It brigade of Guards, from Chatham, has, in
collequence of the traofpnrts being arrived, begun
its navel. tor Ramfgate iu tour divilions. The whole
will be embarked i they arrive at Ramfgate, on this
day, Sunday, M..nda7, and Tuefday. The ad bri-
gade .1 Guards march In ,rn De II for Chatham in four
sio. firms, on Tuefday next, and three following days.
By this movement Cie barracks at Deal are left open'
for the halt of the 62d regiment, trnm Shorneliffe.
and gad ( tit battalion), from Braboroe Lees, which
will by that time probably be on their march for
ensuarkation.

LOYAL Gaeattoot VOL UTT r RRR .—At a meeting
of the Loyal Greenock Volunteer Regiment, held 101 l
Monday evening, for the purpofe of taking into con-
federation the allowances fixed by the new regulations
(*tom the War Otee, we regret to Bad, they were
onanimoufly of opinion, that it will be impoffible to
keep lip the corps on a refpeetable footing upon the
propofed eftablithment, and have therefore refolved to
refign their commit:non.; but have agreed to continue
their fervices doting the prefent quarter, to give time
to the Lord Lieutenant to look out for other officers,
who may deem the new plan prafticable.
Yellerday the plans and models of the new in-
tended harbour at Brighton, were laid before the
Lor;ik Commiffisoers of the Admiralty, by Mr.
DODD, the engineer. We are happy to have men
in office who pay fo much attention to our national
nautical improvements.

Two perfons, one of them apparently an Officer,
met to fight a duel early yefterday morning, in the
fields near Kilburn. A diftance of about twenty
paces was meafured, and one of the parties fired
without effect. His adverfary difcharged his piikl
in the air, and the parties then let off towards town.
A houfe in Flint-ftreet, near ihe King's Bench, was
crmfiderably damaged by the lightning on Thurfday;
the chimney was thrown down, the roof deltroyed,
and the windows forced out, happily without any one
fultaining the lean injury. An apartment in the
houfe which fuffered molt caught fire, but was ex•
tingiiiihed.
In Great Scotland-yard, Whitehall, it entered the
hroire of Mr. Rogers, farrier, whore wife, with a
child in her arms, was knocked down, but received
no injnry, except the fright. Two of the journey.
men, Thomas and James Hawkins, the former of
whom was working at the anvil, received violent
!hocks, which deprived them of fenfation at the time,
and left moll acute pains in their elbows, and acrofs
their breads. The blaze of light was attended with
a fulphureous exhalation. Part of the ball broke on
a cart wheel, nitrated by the iron.
• A thundeSbOlt fell in Garden-court, Gray's-Inn-
lane. and drove one of the paving-genes ten feet
deep into the .earth, without doing any further da
mage. The inundating of the honks in James-firm,
Manchefler.fgoare, and a confiderable part of that
neighbourhood, as mentioned in our Paper of yeller-
day, was, in addition to the torrents of rain, necafiom
ed by the tumbling in of the foundation of a Male
at the corner of Davies-Brat, which gorged ■p the
common fewer, which went down that firm from
Mary-la•Bonne. At every houfe in &milord Place,
from the Earl of Stanhope's, at No. r, round to Sir
Cecil Bif,hopp's, at No. aI, perfons were employed
the greater part of yeßerday in baling out the water,
which at one time was running in at the kitchen
windows.

A few nights (Ince the parint church of St. Mi-
chael, Royal College Hill, was entered by roma.
thieves, who 'tripped the gold fringe from frvera;

satofrrom, JULY is.
YeAtrday, the long expeßsti °etch between the
Earl of Datllngton's famous hustle Pavilion, old Mr.
Mellifh's no lrfs famous !lute Sancho, was decided
upon Lewes Race Ground. The diflance was four
miles, equal weight, eight Acme (even pounds each.
No match has talcen place for a long time, that ex-
cited ft much interelt. About twelve o'clock the
company upon the ground amounted to about ,1000
but, in lefs than an hour they exceeded soaps and
many bets were made Sancho had been always the
favourite, and for Come days Daft the odds were (even
to four in his favour. On Wedncfday, however, they
varied a little, and came doim to Ave to four ; but
Steßerday morning public favour declared in favour
of Pavilion, the odds completely changed fides, and
fix to four were frequently laid upon him. This revs
lution was produced by a report that Sancho was not
woll. At a quarter to two his Royal High`nels the
Prince of Wales arrived upon the ground, in his ba-
rouche and lit beautiful greys. His Royal H.ghnefs
fat upon the barouche feat, and was drivenby Sirjohn
`I of Dar lie

Lade. The company infitie were the Earl . /AI ling.
ton, Mr. Smith, and three Other gentlemrn. The be-
much drove up towards the Judge's bnt, and took its
(Winn at a dillance of about 20 yards from it. Mr.
thenwner of Sancho, drove up loon after inbis
barouche and four beautiful greys, with the Conntefs
of Barrymire, and three other ladies infide. At two
o'clock the two hnrces came upon the ground. At
five minuet pall two the horfes were fiddled, and Mr.
Mellifis went up to Sanchc, and led him about to yards
before the (tart. Buckle rode Sancho in a white jacket
and crimfon Beeves. Pavilinrs was rode by young
Chiffney, in a light orange jacket withgold lace firings.
The horfes fluted at ten minutes pall two. Pa vain!.
took the lead, and kept it about four length. for the Gra
two miles. Sar•eho now began to fetch up hit tiff-
lance, and gained about a length in the third mile.
Five minutes had now elapfed, and the two horfes had
toned the poll, Pavilion maintaining his left men.
tioned diflance ahead of Sancho. The bets now rats
two to one on Pavilion. JO in the fiat, at the com-
mencement of the tall mile, the grand flruggle and
difplay or fpeed and jnckeyfhip commenced. In run-
ning home this tali mil:, Sancho felt himfelf upon the
ground where he ufually made his putties, and Buckle
now pin rued the fable (Vim. He ran in fine fide
up to Pavilion, palled him, and fur a moment vielory
appeared doubtful. This arduous and anxious (frog.
gle !ailed until the honks came up to the dillance•
poll, when, to the great forrow and difappnintment
of every one who did not gain by the event, Sancho
broke completely down. Pavilion ran home and won
eafy. It was in his near fore font that Sancho failed.
He was fo lame, it was with difficulty he carried his
weight to the winning poll. Jolt at the moment
Sancho broke down, the odds had changed greatly
in his favour, and five to one was betted upon him.
Pavilion did not appear in the leap dillrelled. Mr.
Mellifh, it is laid, had to,oool. depending on this
match, including the aoool. for which the match was
made. He will alto be olsliged to forfeit half of the
two matches which Sancho was to run ; that i►, a Mile
at Brighton, for the fame turn, between the fame
bodes ; and the match for toool. againfi his Royal
Highnefs the Prince of Wales's famous horfe Hapha.
