THE ARMY.

It k intended to inereafe one of the expeditions
greatly ;it is &id to t 5,000 men. A dillinguifbed
and popular Officer, lately employed, has been of-
fered the chief command.

Yellerday Sit SAMUEL Hoots, with General Bs-
ttsroan and his Staff, were (till lying at St. Helen's,
as was alto the army for the Cape of Good Hope,
under the CROCODILE, Captain CADOGAS, which has
been obliged to put back.

The z9th Regiment of Foot have received orders
to march from Brabourn Lees to Portfmouth, in two
divifions: the fira will march to-morrow, and the
fecond on Monday.—lt is fuppofed this fine regiment
will form part of the expedition now fitting out.
The ad battalion of the line, the King's German i
Legion, which diferobarked at Portfmouth on Wed
nefday, and marched thence, was quickly ordered
back, and embarked again yeflerday. All the other
battalions of the Legion, on their march for Suffer,
have, it is faid, received orders to halt, and are ex-
petted to return direftly to Portfmouth, for the
purple of re•embarkation.
The three companies of the ad light battalion of
the King's German Legion, which have been all the
fommer at Ramfga'e, marched this day from Pet-
worth to join the remainder of the regiment Bill on
board fhip.
It is much feared that the ophthalmia has got into
the tft Light battalion ot the King's German Legions
at leaf fo fayt report ; and one (hip, faid to contain
it, is to undergo quarantine.
It is pretty generally anderannd in the military
circles, that the ss l-:ole of she German Legion will
Ihorily pt ocecd to Ireland, fn. uld the recent events
in Portugal sot render it neceffary to difpatch a force
to the Ilra7ils.

The Rerifiewfhire Yeomanry, commanded by
Colonel Mete, of Caldwell, matched into Glafgow
on Thurfday fet,night, to drill for ten days. They
are a T.:mud:4sly flout looking body of men, and
very well appointed.

Monday fe'nnight there was a numerous meeting
of Magi(lrates at Clonmel, when it wab determined
to call an Extraordinary Seflion of the Peace, on the
a4th roll. to c.naler the date of the country, under
the terms of ;he Inlurredion A4t.

Yerlerday being moving day, the prifoners corn-
trit:cd lince the lalt Se(lions were moved fritm the
H, ufe of Cortation, the New Prifon, and Toth;lL
fields BiLlewell, to Newgate. The number removed
does not amount to more than 3s, which added to
thole already committed to Newgate in the Galt
inii.ince, amounts to about 60, who will take their,
trials at the Se!lions which commence at the Old
Bailey on Wednefday next.
Wednefday fennight, about eight o'clock, P. M.
Colonel TALBOT'S gate lodge, at Nialahide, was en.
tired by four villains well armed with blunderbuffes
and piftois, who robbed Colonel TALBOT'S bailiff, an
old foldier, near eighty years of age, of 401. and
afterwards inhumanly difcharged a pato' at the poor
old man, which drove a Plug into hisbody, andother-
wife wounded him fo much that his lite is defpaired of.

Wednefday night an uninhabited houfe, in Loth-
bury, fell down, and nearly brought with it the one
adjoining, occupied by Mr. LAMM, bruihmaker.
Fortunately no p:rfon was palling at the time.
Yetlerday a bricklayer's labourer fell from a real.-
fold erceidd againit the houfe repairing at the corner
of New Bi idge-iireer, and was killed on the fpot.

FIRE.-At three o'clock yeflerday morning a fire
broke out at the 11:,ufe of Mr. Smollett, callendercr
in Dobbs's Row, Paddingt,n New Rnad, occafioned
by a beam which communicated with the chimney
taking fire. A woman with an infant at her Ismail,
who dept in the fecond floor, on awaking, found her
bed in flames ; lrefor:: fhe could effectually exert
herfelf, the was materially injured, and t...: child fo
much boon:, that its life is detpaited of. By the
exertions of the L•dgers, however, the damage was
principally confined to that floor.
BOXING —A tir,vel kind of a pugiliflie exhibition
took t lace yette rday in the Hampilead Fields, between
coachman, of the name of Burke, and George Will-
fon, a mroom, for what is technically and elegantly
t rmed love. ltt confequence of a difpute between
the parties, Burke, a nom, athletic man, (truck Win-
ton, a man much lets in fize, and the latter agreed to
fight him, if he would content to have one of his
hands bound round his body, to make the match
equal. This was done, and a (harp conflict of forty
minutes followed, when the one handed man received
a complete beating. Willfon proved a good fecond
rate brinier, and apparently able to beat his adverfary
even handed • for Burke, although a glutton, is a
novice at fighting.

Mr. LattactLor, a Veterinary Surgeon, who
fought a duel with a Lieutenant on Twickenham
Common, three weeks fince, and who was !fated to
have been wounded in the Moulder, died on Friday
tail at Bufhby, near Guildford. A mortification of
the wound was the caufe of his death. His antagonift
left this country a day or two after the duel had
taken place.

The Herring Fakery at Nnrth Q2eensferry is, at
relent very fuccefsful, and every appearance to be
fo ; the boats are getting from 5 to 8 barrels each.
