We understand that the Commander of the Forces
in the Leeward Islands hag received orders to send
that distinguished corps the 13th, or Ist Somerset-
shire Regiment of the line, from Martinique to
North America, in the course of the ensuing spring.
A proof of the excellent interior economy of thi s cnrps
is, that it is now efficient, notv it standing the deadly
effects of a West India climate. The depot is now
at Kingibridge Barracks, and we have little doubt it

Letters from Lisbon state, that the Horse-guards
(Blues) are doing the duty of that city. The 91st
Regiment, which landed at Coruana, had joined the

The 15th Hussars marched into the Broyle bar-
racks, Chichester, and the 18th into that city, (41 S.l.
turday and Sunday se'nnight. The public houses
were crowded to excess, and it being totally impos-
sible for them to find stabling, two troops of each
Regiment were ordered to return to Arundel.
The 154th Regiment, Lieutenant Colonel Sir J.
WARDLOW, Bart. has been ordered from the West
Indies to Canada.

The Royal Carnarvon Militia have volunteered to

Edinburgh, and on Thursday three companies of
them marched from the castle for Haddington.
The 2d bait. 35th regiment, and 81st regiment,
have been very successful during the late volunteering

plete to its establishment, and the latter is consider.
ably increased in numbers.
It appears from an account laid before the House

Monday se'nnight a female, in man's apparel, was
enlisted as a recruit in the 53d Regiment, quartered
in Shrewsbury. She shortly afterwards confessed

her sex. and said, that her abject was to have bete
enlisted into the 41d Regiment, as in ill:It corps she
had a lover, who was now on foreign duty, and that
she adopted this expedient from a wish tofollow him.
She was dressed in a bltte jacket and trowsers ; her

of St. Asaph, Denbighshire.
Wednesday last a military escort, whiclt had con-
ducted a deserter to the depot at the Broile, near Chi-
chester, left their loaded muskets without the guard-
room, when a corporal of the 57th regiment, stati, n.
ed there, from a supposition that they belonged to
the guard, took one of them up, and on passing his 'I
hand to the lock, involuntarily discharged the piece,
and shot an invalid soldier through the body. The
poor man dropped dead on the spot. Coroner's Ver-
dict—Accidental Death.

That highly deserving Officer, Lieutenant Colonel
CURREY, of the 54th Regiment of Fcot, having lately
retired from the service, the Officers of that cores
have presented him with a handsome piers c..f plate,
in token of their regard for his personal worth, and
their gratitude for his professional exertions. The
following are the letters which passed on the occa-
sion, and we give them insertion only to sliew the
public in how high a degree of esteem Lieutenant
Colonel CURREY is held by those who have had the
best opportunities of examining and appreciating his
character : " Woodbridge, December 98, 1812.
" Peas Ste—My Brother Officers, of the .54th Regiment,
having entrusted me with the honourable commission of trans-
mitting to you a Silver Turns; which they eagerly and una-
nimously otter in grateful testimony of their esteem and respect
for your personal and professional worth ; and of their high
sense of the benefits which they lave individually and collec•
tively derived Irons serving under you. I cannot beg your accep-
tance of it, without symparbising with them in their deep regret
of the separation ban such a friend., and their loss of such a
Conimar.der.

The consciousness of disinterested benevolence, and of un-
sullied integrity, will accompany and solace you whhhirsoever
you go ; and that you may live long in the uninterrupted enjoy-
ment of health and happiness, is the ardent and united wish tat
your late companions in arms ;—not one of whom cherishes
a more lively remembrance of his numerous obtigarions to you,

We are concerned to state the death of Lieutenant.
Colonel CHARLES STEWART, of the .50th regiment, in
his 45th year, on the 11th of December, at Coria,
Spanish Estremadurt, of fever, brought on by ex-
cessive fatigue during the late retreat of the British
Army, commanding a Brigade, most justly regretted
by the whole Army. In him his country has lost a
gallant and meritorious officer—his relations and
numerous friends, one of the best of men. Very early
m life he entered the sarvice of his country, and at
the siege of Seringapatani, in the year 1791, had the
thanks of Lord CORNWALLIS) for bis gallantry as
Lieutenant of the light infantry of the 71st regiment,
on their carrying the Pettah, on the island of that
fortress. At the taking of St. Lucia, in the %Vest
Indies, under the brave ABERCRctIBIE, as Captain
of the light infantry of the 53d regiment, he stormed
Morne Fortunee, garrisoned by 800 French, in the
most gallant manner : here he was wounded. In the
expedition to Waicheren, he commanded the 30th
regiment; and afterwards accompanied his regiment
to the Peninsula, where his gallantry in the command
of the Light Brigade, at the defeat of the French at
the bridge of Almarez, was most conspicuous: on
this occasion he had the honour to obtain the thanks
of the brave Sir R. HILL, in his public dispatches
respecting that gallant affair.

Two French Officers, named 010 and Lemon,
prisoners of war, on parole, at Alresford, lately ab-
sconded, with intent of escaping to France; but have
been rv-taken, and are at present lodged in the county
gaol, Winchesster.
J. Boyle, of Weymouth, and G. Datir, of Chickerill,
Dorset, are committed to the county gaol for trial,
charged with having assisted eight French Odicers,
prisoners of war, on parole, at Andover, in making
their escape from the coast to France.
Monday se'nnight, about ten o'clock at night, Mr.
ANDREW WILLIAmsoN, Mate of the ship Jubilee, at
Greenock, while about to go on board that vessel,
by a sudden gust was rapidly impelled forward, and
precipitated over the edge of the breast of the East
Harbour, into the water, and drowned.

Wednesday morning last, a boat, proceeding from
Plymouth to one of the ships of war, was upset by a
heavy sea in the Sound, by which the waterman
(named JAco) and a woman were drowned.
Wvdnesday night, about twelve o'clock, a sailor,
of the name of I'. CUMBERLAND, bring on board his
vessel, in the Dock, Hull, opposite Quay-street, fell
overboard, and was drowned. _ _ _

BoxlNo.—A display of this ult./id/science took place
last week, at Dundry, near Bristol.—The comba-
tants were Crab, one of the press-gang, and Newton,
a brick-maker : the stake was 50 guineas each.—
Bristol being considered a nursery for heroes of the
fist, great interest was excited, and a large company
attended, it being known that both were bottom-men.
Newton is a ten stone, and Crab an eleven stone man.
At setting-to betting was even, but from the Ist round
it changed six to four on Newton ; and after / hard
contest of fifty minutes, in which Crab shesotd consi-
derable p/rici, vict,ry decided in favour of Newton.
Another battle was fought for a purse between Hall
and Roberts, which afforded ample satisfaction to the
amateurs, it being one of the sharpest and hardest
contests that have been witnessed for some time.—
'Hall was two to one tl'e favourite at setting-to, the
third round even betting, when after fifteen minutes
hard fighting without a shift, Hall planted a most
tremendous blow on his antagonist's neck, who fell,
and was taken off die ground senseless.
