iE ARMY.

Four troops of aie First Regiment of Life Guards,
under the command of Colonel CAstac, were on Sa-
turday morning eibliarked at the Dock-yard, Ports-
mouthi each troop consists of 73 men including the
officers. The whir& of the men wore the new uni-
form, which is very martial, and were in high spi-
rits. they were repeatedly cheered by the populace
during their march into the town, and at the place of
embarkation.

This day the at division of the 15th Hussars,
quartered at Huddersfield, Halifax, and Bradford,
marched for Manchester, and the 2d division, quartered
in Leeds, will marth for the same place to-morrow,
and will be relieved by the Scotch Greys.

At the beginning of last week orders wee sent to
the Tower to prepare eighty thousand stand of arms;
which would be shipped with the utmost expedition
for the Baltic.

the Staff of the Army in the Peninsula, is appointed
to the command of the consolidated depot of Heavy
Cavalry, stationed in Canterbury, vice Major• General
JAMES HAY, removed to the Staff of the Army in
Ireland.
Twenty thotisand stand of arms, ordered for espor-
tation from the Gun-wharf at Plymouth-dock, for

have since arrived to suspend their embarkation for
the present. They are in fatt wanted for Russia.

We have seen Officers from the Marquis of Wet.-
utioroN's army, who came over in the Packet which
brought his Lordship's last dispatches. They state,
that our army is some leagues in advance of Burgos;
and that the remains of MARSIONT'S arms is so dis-
pirited as to be held in contempt. These gentlemen
know. nothing of .MASSBNA, nor of reinforcements
and do not think that either have entered Spain.—
Our sick and wounded from Salamanca have mostly
recovered and joined the army, which is by no means
unhealthy.
We learn with satisfaction that the attention of
Government is at length directed to the necessity of
an efficient corps of Military Artificers, particularly
in the branches of mining and sapping. The fatally
obstinate defence of Burgos is a melancholy illustra-
tion of such necessity. A reinforcement of about
130 is to embark immediately at Portsmouth, to join
the Martinis of WELLINGTON.
The 27th regiment has arrived at Ayr, from
Newry in Ireland.
It is expected, that upon the meeting of Parlia-
ment, a Bill will be introduced to allow the Militia
to become disposable troops and volunteer by regi-
ments; and that the Local Militia will be called mit
to supply their place at home.
The 49th regiment, of which the gallant General
Biotic is Lieutenant-Colonel, embarked at Montreal,
the latter end of August, to reicrorce the General in
Upper Canada. This regiment has been several years
in Canada, and was lately under ooers to joia the
Marquis of WELLINGTON'S army in Portugal:
Saturday the 41st tegiinent of loot marched into
Chichester Barracks from Win Chester.
Last week a private in the 15th RegiMent of Hus-
sars died suddenly in the Military Hospital in Leeds,
and a rumour was pretty generally citculated that he
died in consequence of having received 200 lashes
at the halberts ,about seven weeks ago; but one of
the Surgeons of the General Infirmary in that town,
who examined the body of the deceased, says, that
his death was riot occasioned hi tiny degree by the
flogging, but appeared to haie arisen from apoplexy.

Sit MnitiAdui Bunion% with his Lady and fa;
snily are artived at Portsmouth, to embark for
bialtar on board the SERAPH'S store ship.

The Hon. Captain and Mrs. BLacaivoon, are ar-
rived at the Crown Hotel, Portsmouth. .The WAR-
