A' strong detachment of Artillery and drivers
marched from Woolwich last week, to embark at
Portsmouth for the Peninsula.

The transports having OR board the 3d King's
German Hussars, commanded by Colonel Derotstx,
after having made three unsuccessful attempts to sail
for the place of destination, still remain at anchor in
the Downs, the wind continuing adverse. The horses
are beginning to get sickly ; three or four have al-
ready died on board one of the troop-ships, but hopes
are entertained that a change of wind will take place
with the change of the moon this morning.

Under the Nymphen's convoy, a daachment goes
out to the 2d battalion of the 14th Foot, at Malta.

A numbet of Spanish emigrants have lately arri-
ved at Portsmouth from Memel, and will soon have
the satisfaction of revisiting their native soil.
A detachment GE' the 2d Royal Veteran Battalion
proceeds by the first convoy to Madeira.
Friday and Saturday last, the Bodfordshire Militia
marched through Londen, on their route from Yar-
mouth to Bristol, at which latter place they are to
embark for Ireland.

The 9th Foot, from Gibraltar, has marched for
Petersfield ; the 46th, fiom Jersey, are gone to the
Isle of Wight ; the depot of the 98th is removed to
Worcester, and of the I lth, from Weymouth, to the
Midland District.

Captain CARTER and Surgeon JOLLIFFE, of the
North Hams Militia, have been dismissed the regi-
ment, for indecorous and ungentlemanly' behaviour at
Strabane, Ireland. Ensign Sonny, for impropriety in
his evidence on the trial, has been informed that his
services are no longer required.
We yesterday mentioned the sentence passed at
Portsmouth on Lieutenant _Waft, of the Royal Ma-
rines.—At ten o'clock on Saturday morning all the
Officers and men at quarters having been ordered
under arms, Lieutenant Delap was brought from kis
room, in custody of the Officer on guard, and placed
in the centre of a hollow square, which the troops had
formed. The sentence was then read by the Judge
Advocate ( Lieutenant and Adjutant PATTEN), and
the Drum• Major cut the epaulet from off his shoulder,
and his sash from round his body. General WINTER
(the President) then addressed the corps in an im-
pressive manner, and, with feelings worthy of the
Britishsoldier, pointed out the evils of insubordina-
tion, and adverted to the case they had just witnessed,
as a proof that no rank was above the reach of the
law. He informed Mr. Delap, that it was his good
conduct in the action between the Java and Constitu-
tion that had alone averted an additionally disgrace-
furcircumstance that would have been included in
the sentence—that of having his sword broke over his
head. Mr. Delap was then led out of the barracks.

His Excellency lieutenant-General Sir George Prevost, Go-
vernor of the Canadas, has appointed Edward Vrabaxon Bren-
ton, Esq. to be his Secretary, in the room of H. W. Ryland, Esq.
who retires from that office ; his Excellency has alsa appointed
Andrew Cochran, Eiq. Assistant Secretary.

BREAD.—No alteration in the price this week: the
quartern loaf eighteen•pence•halfpenny.

Tuesday morning last, a little girl, daughter of a
labouring man in Maryport, took a draught from
the spout of a teapot of boiling water, which scalded
her inside to that degree, that se died on Thursday
morning.

b`ROCtING ACCIDINT.

4it an early hour this mottling, as a Gentleman,l
of the name of OAKLEY, resid;ng in Portsmouth-place,
Kennington-lane, who had been dining with a party;
at the Cottage of Content, Locksfields, was returning
home. accompanied by a female, he had occasion to
stop in White Hart-court, Walsworth, near the win-
do* of a person residing there. The latter, supposing'
that an attempt was about to be made tb break intks
his house, immediately arose, and in company with
a young man, went out, when he called to ttre Gen-
tleman to stop, or he would instantly be a dead mad.
The Gentleman, not regarding what he said, coati,
hued to proceed, on which he immediately fled, and
shot him in the body. The watchman, at the report
of the blunderbuss, came up and secured the culprit,
when his associate escaped. The Gentltattan ( who
belongs to the Bank of England) was then carried to
J;lr. Dixon's, who, on examining the wound, found
that two balls had entered his body, neither of which
are as yet extracted, they being lodgei in his kidneys,
and no hopes of his recovery are entertained.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
This morning, between the hours of two and three
o'clock, a woman, living in Weymouth Place, l(enb
Road, awoke, and informed her husband that some.
body was breaking into the house. The husband and
a man-loslger immediately got out of bed- in their
shirts, and, taking a loaded blunderbuss, went out to
the street, where they saw a man by the Weymou.h
Arms conversing with a woman," both decently
dressed. One of them instantly fired off the
blunderbuss and mortally wounded the Gentleman.
—Mr. Dotox, the surgeon, of Newington, imme.
diately attended him, and probed the wound for the
ball 18 inches. but could not extract it. The unfor-
tunate Gentleman had been spending the evening at
the Horns at Kennington, and proves to be Mr.
OAKLEY, of Portsmouth Place, Kennington. The
men are in custody.

err Ai t .OF ME, TWO O'CLOCIE.
Since writing the above, we regret to state, that
_
Mr. OAKLEY is dead of his sounds.

yesterday, soon after the Qum; and Patna:snit
arrived at the Queen's Palace, Townsend and M'Ma..
nus, the Bow street officers, who were in attendance,
observed a man cleanly and pl4inly dressed, who had
the appearance at a countrym.m, in the fr nt of the
Palace, who by his attitudes, talking to himself, &c.
they had no doubt was deranged, and fearing he
would make an attempt to enter the Palaceb they
went to him, and found by his c(mverution, that their
suspicions were correct. He said it was the Queen
of England's premises, and he had a right to remai•
there. However, he was not so mad, but he under-
stood their threat of sending him to prison, and took
himself off.

A foreign boat was discovered off Dover, on Sa.
turday, making for the shore, but owing to the bad•
ness of the sail, &c. unable to reach it 3 one of our
gallies went off to its assistance, but the wind bl )wing
strong from the East, could not reach it till it got new
Dimchurcb : it had on board two Dutchmen, who
had made their escape from kielvoetsluys. They were
taken on board one of the revenue.cutters, and landed
at Dover on Sunday. The account they give is, that
they belonged to one of the 71 gun ships in the Texel,
all the men of which had been marched off to join
the army, together with all the men who were capable
of bearing alms on board the Scheldt fleet; but these
rwo having made their escape, got to Rotterdam,
and from thence to lielvoetsluys, where they took a
boat and put to sea : they had only one oar, and axed
sail was of an old blanket and part of thou- shirts :4
with this miserable equipment they put to sea, to
escape the iron gripe of BONAPARTE. Luckily the
weather was tolerably moderate, or they must have
perished."--The fket, as they say, is entirely disman-
tled, every effective man having been marched off
both from the sea-ports and out of the towns, &c. on
the coast.

A letter from Captain MORRIS, of the TOWNSHEND
revenue cruizer, dated Westport, June 20th, says—
" On proceeding into Blacksod Bay, on Friday last,
at four a. m. I perceived the American privateer
schooner Fox, that has been on our coast for some
time, within two miles of me, and to windward, with
all sails set. I called WI hands to quarters—same
time made all sail, not deeming it prudent to bring a
vessel of such superior force to action, until I had
made every effort to save the Townshend, which I
providentially did, by pushing for the sound of Ackle.
In weathering a point with only It feet water on it,
1 had to take all the shot from aft, and put it on the,
forecastle, during which time the privateer was firing
her 24-pound shot under and ove:: us ; however, we
got round and entered the Sound. One shot had
nearly carried away our mast; we then had our gaff
slung with iron chains. I kept on the shoalect w der,
in hopes to get the privateer aground. If I succeed.
ed, I would have given her a complete battering
the, however, escaped grounding, and followed us to
the entrance of the Sound. We had then but a mil*
to go, when I resolved, as the last alternative, to
come to an anchor, with a spring on my cable, get-
ting our whole broadside to bear on him, and take
him as he came up, determined to sell theTownshend
as dear as I could—he, however, saved that unplea.
sant part, by putting about, and 'trading to sea."

a set-to with several young men of the town and neighbourhood.

from which flowed an egubion of dorsi, besides other marks of
