THE ARMY.

There Is now a considerable bustle at Portsmouth,
embarking troops for Holland—about 6000 infantry
and 1000 Marines.

Colonel PANHUY9S Dutch Battalion is to be imme-
diately reinforced by a strong detachment from the
Foreign Depot at Ljmington.
The 3d Royal Provisional Battalion is among the
troops going on service to Holland. They are a fine
body of men.
Detachments are also embarking at Portsmouth
for Canlda, from the 51st, 43d, 95th Light Infantry,
and the 31st, 36th, 79th Highland Camerons, and
102 d Regiments.
The detachment of the 21st Regiment, which was
at Brechin, has arrived at Sterling, the depot of the
regiment.
The whole reinforcements einba\ king at Ports-
mouth for Canada, amount to nearly 2100 nien.

The 93d regiment at Fort George, is under orders
for Spain. We are of opinion, however, that their
destination will be changed to Holland:
The head-quarters of the 2d West York Regiment
of Militia are at Wexford, anti divisions of that regi-
ment are now quartered at Arklow and Wicklow.

There are now shipping by the Board of Ordnance
at Woolwich, Portsmouth, and Plymouth, immense
supplies of arms and ammunition, in anticipation of
possible toyal insurrections on the coast df France.

Wednesday, the Ist division of the Wiltshire Mi-
litia arrived in Edinburgh, from the Perth depot, on
their way to Ireland.
Thursday, the Ist (or Highlanej Regiinent of
Edinburgh Local Militia assembled in the Meadow
Walk, and afterwards marched to blusteibilrgh, on
permanent duty. A detachment of them marched to
Pennicuick on Saturday, to do duty over the French
prisoners in the depot there.
On Thursday afternoon the West Kent Militia
marched into the foot barracks at Windsor, to do the
garrison duty in the place of. the sth regiment, the
first division of which, under the command of Lieu-
tenant-Colonel Bitty, marched on Friday morn-
ing for Holland, and the second division, under the
command of Captain DOYLE, on Saturd iy. The
detachment of 200 men, which marched last week
to join the first battalion with Lord WELLINGTON,
were to have accompanied the second battalion to
Holland, but they had sailed from Spithead before
tlic orders an ived for this change of their destination.
The staff, sick, and stores, remain at Windsor.

The French General of Division ForumEa, who
was taken pris‘mer at the battle of Brienne, died of
his wounds on the '2Olll nit.
We do not remember an occasion that has calk.'
forth the exertions of the benevolent mote generally,
than that which has arisen from the various accounts
tit our suffering brethren in Germany.. The Dukes of
YORK, KENT, and Sussex, the Archbishops of CA
TERBURY and tonn, the Bishops of Losnom and
Durmast; have signed their natnes to a public adver-
tisement, to convene a meeting,of the Nobility, Clergy,
and Gentiy, at Freemasons Hall,. on Saturday next,
to augment the contributions which have already been
made by various classes in so many parts of the
country. Never. was British benevolence exerted
upon a more worthy cause. We hope there is not I
town in ;he United Kingdom that will not, for the
honour of treat Britain, contribute, to the utmost
extent of its means, to alleviate the distress of -those
who have so cruelly suffered, and are now suffering,
for the emancipation of the civilised world.

a single Picture in the Collection but will gtatify the
Cognoscenti.
