This has been done to relieve the distressing incon-

been subjected, by the late influx of such an immense
body of military. On Wednesday, the Buckingham-
shire and the Louth Regiments of Militia marched
to the Moor, and erected their tents with wonderful
expedition. The Stirling Militia, which has been
stationed in the adjacent parts of the country, joined
them the following day, it having been thought pro-

places have been converted into barracks for their

AFRICAN Recfturre.—A plan has been lately de-
vised for recruiting the West India Regiments by
native Africans. The merit of this promising.esti-
blishment is due to an intelligent and spirited officer,
Major WINGFIELD, of the Bth West India regiment.
Government have liberally provided him with every
necessary article, calculated to engage the Africans
tomast. He takes with him a Staff, Captains and
Subalterns, to form the sinews of the regimenti,
which he is expected toraise. The non•commissioned
officers and the band consist of Africans, who will be
instrumental in inducing their countrymen to enter.
Each recruit is to receive a bounty of eight guineas,
either in money, or in such articles of. convenience
and ornament as may suit Lip taste. MajorWincrizto
is supported, not only by Government, but by the
African Society, and by ail the friends of the aboli-
tion of the Slave Trade. He sails in a few days, in
the HERALD armed ship, from Portsmouth her the I
Island of Goree, the head.quarters of the establish-1
ment. That island now contains upwards of 2000
captive blacks, who have been taken by our cruisers
in slave ships. Government allow for these captures
a bounty of forty pounds a man ; hence this service
is become the most lucrative in the -Navy.—
These captives are set free on their arrival in
Goree ; but lew have the means, or the
wish to return to their homes, for most of them
have been taken prisoners in the petty wars of the
country, and sold to slave-merchants. It is expected
that a great number will voluntarily enter into the
service ; and we are well assured that it is the deter-
mination of Major WINGFIELD that all the blacks on
the island shall be treated with strict humanity. Mr.
EASTLAKE, whom we have before introduced to the.
notice of our readers, sails with him. That enter.
prising and enthusiastic character, whose object is to
explore the interior of Africa,and who has taken every
precaution to avoid the difficulties to which MUNGO
PARKE was subjected, has likewise received the sanc-
tion of Government He is a young man of liberal
education, considerable abilities, and indefatigable
perseverance ; and we doubt not that he will benefit
the countries he means to explore, and bring an ac-
-1 cession to the resources of his native country.

The 0. P. privateer, of Cawsand, about six weeks
since captured a French vessel, and put three men on
board her, who were not heard of till yesterday, when
a letter arrived from them from Arles, stating that a
gale having driven them on the French coast, they
were captured.—Wind S. E.

In consequence of the death of WM. Po*Et, Esq.
during his Mayoralty, JAmas YARMOUTH, Esq. has
beta elected to the Chief Magistracy of Monmouth
for the present year.

Thursday te'nnight the shed adjoining the barn of
Mr. IL Waltshaw, of Horbury, was maliciously set
on fire, but was fortunately discovered in time to
prevent its communicating to the barn.
A few days since, the body of a boy, about eleven
years a age, of the name of J. Robins^n, was taken
out of the Sutton Drain, near Hull. It appears that
he had gene into the Lamworth Drain, near its junc=
tion with the Sutton Drain, for the purpose of trying
to swim, and the tide being up, he was carried out
of his depth and drowned.

The Luddites continue active in stealing fire-arms
in the neighbourhood of Huddersfield : not a night
passes but we hear of them prowling in great num-
bers, throwing the peaceable inhabitants onto the ut-.
most consternation, demanding their fire-arms, and
threatening them with instant death on refusal—Lear
Mercury.

SPARRING. —Richmond had a benefit at the Fives-
court, yesterday, which was numerously attended by
must of the amateurs of boxing in London, amongst
whom was the celebrated Wm. Mack, Esq. of turf
notoriety*, from Newmartet. The ailing-to continued
three hours ; and the art of boxing was displayed by
the phenomenon Dutch Sam, with Richmond, Bel-
cher, Maltby, Lennox, Harmer, and others. The
liteguardsman set-to also, and was the butt ir Rich-
mond to shew off his science upon. A laughable in-
cident occurred during this exhibition. the l ifeguards-
man lost his tail, or, in the military term, his dicky,
du-ing the combat, which he never missed till the
bout was over. Richmond also ret-to with two others.
