THE ARMY.

Lord Dos nas's fine regiment, the North York, it
faid, goes to Brighton. It is uncertain if Lord
Be 's regiment, the Royal South Glo'ller Mili-
tia, immediately leave Brighton, where they have
been long quartered, and are in high favour.
Lieutenant General Ws IT E Locx, after returning
from town, attended by Lords BLAYN sr and Ca La-
ma, Sir Gsciecis Pa avow, Colonel Mall, and a
long train of Officers, infperded hie fine regiment, the
89th, at Portfmouth. The 896, having recovered
from the ophthalmia, are now fit and ready for any
fervice.
We hear that the fpecial fervice on which he goes,
and the particular appointment of Colonel CR •VFOILD
to command, came diredly from the Cabinet ; and
an abler, snore aftivei, or more experienced Officer,
could not have been feleded. Colonel CRAVFORD has
ferved in every quarter of the Britifh dominion,. ; he
is a man of fcience, and is the author of ferveral
works, and tranflator of many treatifes of military
tadics, from the German.
Report fay* that that very able and adive Officer,
Lord CAT HCAIt T. is likely to be employed on adive
fervice ; at prefent he commands in Sritland.
If trgops can be (pared 4or a (mall expedition to
the Well Indies, we are (till inclined to think that Sir
Gsoacit Pasvoix will be the man. We liope to
have Martinique.
The reinforcements fent out, by this time, make
our naval force in the Weft Indies very furmidable.
We hope, that lhould the enemy make a dank at any
Of our iflands there, our military force will not be
found to be inadequate. Befides the conilant and
tifual cafualties to troops in the Weft Indies, four or
five regimentb have lately come home. We have heard
it reported, that no regiment in the Welt Indies at
prefent millers half firength—if to, our force there
Inuit be in molt iflands.

The Krec has been pleated to grant a penfion of
tool. a year to the Widow of Mr. SCOTT, Secretary

till they become of age.
His MAJESTY was pleated to iffae another Order
of Council, onWednefday, for encouraging the trade
to Buenos Ayres, and confirming the Order of Coun-
cil iffued on the 17th ult. affuring thofe who trade
there that no more duty Mall be impeded upon the

of the 17th.
Government have aired orders, through the me-
dium of the Tranfport Board, for the immediate en-,
segment of any npmber of horfe (hips which can
be procured for three months, at 151. per ton per

but no forage is to be provided, or put on board until
further orders. Iris toppled that there veftzls are
to take back the German Legion to Hanover.
Towards the latter end of laft week part of the
enemy's camp at Boulogne broke up. Two or three
thoefand men were Peen by our cruizers, marching
towards the interior, for the purpofe, as they fup-
poled, of proceeding to the Grand Army in Ger-

A letter from Bombay, dated May iz, Says--"On
the morning of the loth ult. an exprefs arrived at
Madras from Sir HOME. Pt./PHAN, at the Cape of
Good Hope, advifing his having captured there a
French ++ gun frigate, laid to have belonged to the
Squadron which bad been chafed by Admiral DUCK.]
WORTH j by which it appears be learnt that (qua.'
dron and another, making twelve or thirteen fail of
the line, with reverel frigates, were on their paffage to
the Cape, and thence to India. This creates alarm
for the moment."
Of the above force, five fail of the line were rle•
fir"yed by Sir JOHN DUCKWORTH, at St. Domingo ;
Iwo frigates efcaped; one fail of the line (the Vete.
14n) arrived in France ; and five fail of the line and
one frigate, were cruizing off Betmuda, by late ac
counts.
The Eall India papers Rate, that to many Ameri-
can veffels had, within the preceding three months,
arrived at Mocha, as to render the increafing trade
between America and Arabia an ohjett that requires

the immediate attention of the Btitith GovernMent.

According to Mr. SKIVN/It'S valuable Work on
the prefent Rate of Peru, that country is of eafy accefs
from Buenos Ayres, and with Chile and Paraguay,
may be maintained by a fuperior naval force againd
