King's Heavy Dragoom) en.barked yesterday and today, and are
all sails(' for the. Down, The Conunis.ariat, and nearly the
whole of the bakers, coopers, &c. are all on board. A few trans-
ports are rerr..zining unoccupied, and it is this afternoon laid that
the 4.41 ltegitutat Drgoon Guard•: (Qoeen's Bays), are to be em-
barked here. This regiment has not been maned before, that we
have hek.-rd of, far this service.
" A large deer of 5C or GO 3211 of vessels from the River, &c.
came round the North Foreland yestt rday, and this morning are
brought up in the Downs—they are store-ships, artillery, victu-
allers, &c."

" IfARWICH, JULY 21.
" The fleet of transports, with the- troop, on board, still re-
main in our Roads. The EVRTALUs frigate is every hour ex-,
peered to take the Staff Olßsers, &c. &c. when the fleet will, it
is said, positively sail"

" CANTEREURY, JULY 21.
" Since my Lst emb.arkation has proceeded as fast ai trans.
ports can be procured ler their reception. Three troops of the
nd K. 0. Dragoons marched from Canterbury at midnight on
Tuesday, and were embarked at Ramsgate on the 'Wowing
morrizig ;a similar number followed at the same time on Wed:
nesday right, siod for the same dtstivation, and were also eatbar-
ked yesterday. 'Three squadrons (six troops) Of the 4d, or
Queen's Dragon Guards at Canterbury, received orders on Wed-
nesday to hold themselves in readiness to embark, and two
troops, the one on Wednesday night and the other yesterday even-
ing, have proceeded to Ramsgate for that perpose ; the remain-
der are expected to follow this day. These three squadrons, it
is understood, are substituted in the place of the ed Light Ca-
valry of the German Legion. All the cavalry of the expedition,
of which, there are in the whole twelve squadrons, move with-
put their standards, and are conseqUently intended principally
ethring parties, on the line of march, oein emrenchments.
" In the mean time the various Officers of the Staff have pro-.
eeeded to the different points of embarkation to join their respec-
tive divisions and brigades ; and yesterday miming the Earl of
CHAT ea as, the Commander la Chief, proceeded to Rarnsgate, and
afterwards met Lieutenant General Sir Jou:: HopE at Deal, and
will this day meet Lord CASTLEREAGH at Dover,- when it is ex-
pected the final arrangements for the expedition are to be made.
Sir H. Po Pit AM is intrusted with the executive part of the naval
flotilla, in which he will be assisted by the local knowledge of
the well•known Jou NUM, as well as that of aU the Trinity and
other Pilots, acquainted with the navigation of the Scheldt, sad
the coast of Holland.
" The Ist division of 'troops embarked at Portsmouth, sailed
from ?pithead cn Wednesday night, but owing to the adverse
state cf the wind had not reached the Straights of Dover yester-
day evening, as they are on bond men of war, which can beat.
up channel with almost any wind, they will prObably arrive in chit
Downs this day, and according to present arrangements, should
nothing intervene, it is intended the whole shall sail tomorrow,
or on Sunday ; and after a lapse of eight and forty hours some in-
telligence may be expected of their operations. The ordnance
transports have been hourly assembling in the Downs : upwards
of forty arrived on Wednesday from the River, the proportion of
this department has received very considerable augmentation from
what was first intended. One million of ball cartridges with as
snore fire-ships, (nicking in the total 49 ships of this nature) were
last week added to the former preparations, and instead of 104
pieces (as before stated) there are teweards of 3CO pieces of heavy
ordnance, besides Ilea artillery, embarked. The horses attached
to this immense train are tinily arriving at Ramsgate; but the
sailing of the expedition will not depend on their embarkation,
such as are not ready when it sails are to follow it.

" We have already stc.ted the destination of this great force,
and have now to mention still stronger facts, in justification of
the accuracy of our information and conclusions. When we
spoke of eight sail of the line being at Antwerp, we spoke only of
those ready far sea, we know Ho re are more; and know, more-
over, that 'on board a part of the transports assembled in the
Downs, are masts and riving :;ffries:t to drip FIFTZEN of the
lite.,as well as for a raarZer offrigatrs, &c. The masters attendant
of the prhicipal dock-yards are also to accompany the expedition,
to superintend the equipment of these ships, and the application
to the Sea Fencibles, (some of whom we regret to hear it said,
have refused their services) is supposed to be for the purpose of
manning them.

" Lieutenant-General Sir Joan FI:JPE left • Canterbury for
Deal on Wednesday evening, whither he was followed by his Staff
yesterday morning. Lieutenant-General &tows:zinc, Q. M. G.
and Brigadier-General MACLEOD, who has the command of the ,
artillery, with Lieutenant-General Lord Rossi.: t 4, have pro-
ceeded to Ranssgate for embarkation. His Royal Highness the
Duke of CLAIILENCE is at Deal with his son, who is going wi
the Expedition, and Lord CAS:LEM:GIN has proceeded to Dover
to wait its sailing."
