THE ARMY.

After being quartered in Bantry and its dependen-
cies, for above two years and a half, 'the end of List
month, the 3d Garrison Battalion marched to Cove,
in order to garrison the Forts round Cork harbour :
previous to its departure, the Commanding Officer
received a letter from Lord Viscount BAN TRY, Ushish
the following is a copy, together with his reply :
" BANTRY, OCTOSIR. 1, 1812..

" Sra—Permit me to return the unanimous s of' the
Inhabits:Ai of Bantry, to the Officers, Non commissioned Offi-
cers, and Ptivares, of the sd Garnoso•Battalion, for their uni-
form good conduct during the long period of two years and a
half, which they have been quartered amongst us; nut one single
Instance of complaint has occurred.
" I cannot but feel satisfaction in acquainting ynu wilt the
wishes of the Inhabitants, at the same time great regret tt y ,ur

(Signed) " BANTRY."
" Lieut.-Colonel Nedham, Commanding at Bantry."
" Cofl Of CORK, OCTOBER 10, 18IS.

diately communicating the contents of your Lordship's polite

tance of our sincerest Thanks, and entreat you will present the
same to the Inhabitants of Bantry, for their unanimous expres-
sions of approbation relative to the conduct of the Battalion,

The 2d Battalion of the 39th Regiment has re-
moved from Weymouth to Exeter.

Tuesday the Clare Regiment left Woodbridge
Barracks, for Ipswich; and were yesterday replaced
by the 54th, from Ipswich. The 69th are expected
at Woodbridge on Saturday from Norwich.
Saturday morning the Oxfordshire Militia marched
out of Bath for Bitstol, there to be stationed as be-
fore the election ; and on Saturday night, between
eleven and twelve o'clock, part of the East Middlesex
Militia arrived in Bath from Bristol.

In consequence of the removal of the Royal Mili- I
tary College fr6m Marlow to Sandhurst, the Senior
Department of that Institution is to be transferred
from High Wyconib to Farnham; in Sturty, ten
miles distant from the .liinior Department. It is ex-
pected that the establishment will open at that place
in the beginning of February, and that the number
of students will be increased in proportion to the
extent of accommodation afforded. Sir HOWARD
DOUGLAS, the Commandant of this department, has
been employed on a particular service in the Penin-
sula for more than a year. The duties of superin-
tendance have been performed, in his absence, by
Major JouNsToN, of the corps of Royal Corsican
Rangers.

Yesterday Ministers received dispatches from Sir
JAMES SAUMAREZ, with accounts from the Grand
Armies in the neighbourhood of Moscow, three or
four days later than those from Lord CATHCART.—
They state, that no battle had taken place, but that
the respective forces were menacing each other, and
that the numerical superiority of the Russians had
been greatly augmented. It is also said, that the
periodical snows had begun; and it was assumed
that the comparative incompetency of the French to
encounter the difficulties of the climate, would place
them in the most critical situation.
In the same official accounts we are told, that the
full details are given of the Battle of Borodino ; and
the loss on both sides is computed, in killed and
wounded, at 100,000 men.
Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the
East-India House, when Captain E. BALSTON was
sworn into the command of the ship Princess Amelia,
consigned to Prince of Wales's Island and China.
HIGH WD/D.—During the hurricane which blew
on Tuesday evening, a small cottage near Earl's-
court, Kensington, was blown down ; there was only
an old woman within, who, by a miraculous conjunc-
tion of the falling timbers, received no other injury
than a severe contusion on her side. An old house
in Canterbury-court, Blackfriars, was also blown
down ; but fortunately no person was therein. A
young man was blown from a barge, moored off Scot-
land-yard, and was picked up by a lighterman in a
lifeless state, but is now in a fair way of recovery.—
A lighter was sunk near Paul's Wharf, in which was
one man, who with some difficulty swam on shore.
A tile was blown from a house in Piccadilly, and
Mrs. GORDON, of Swallow-street, had her head frac-
tured thereby. Several minor accident shave occurred,
and in all places situated in the vicinity of lofty trees
the roads were strewed with limbs and branches,
which had been burled from the trunks. Two skele-
tons of houses in the neighbourhood of Islington were
blown down. A flower-pot was blown down from a"
second floor in Kent-street, and fell upon the head of
a poor woman, who wastaken to the Hospital without.
hopes of recovery. The body of the lamplighter,
who was unfortunately blown into the River on Tues-
day night, was yesterday taken out, near Westminster
Aridge.
