THE ARMY.

We snmie time ago mentioned the report of a Cone
baying h'en appointed by the Commander:in-Chief
to consider the cases of two Limtenants who. had
been prisoners of war in France, but had 't ecently
effected their escape. The' result of the enquiry has
been, that these Offfcers haVe been firutid guilty of
a breach of their parole of hotwur, and they have
been accordingly sentenced to return to confinement
in France by the RI st cartel. 1111,e Itritish military
and national character demanded this seatence, al-
though there is some palliation of its necessity in the
youth and sub ,rdinate rank of its objects. They are
not hoary Generali,. nor are they openly received
back into- the hotiourabt• service of their country.

iaht-EstA;L ORDER .
The Commander of the Forces is very happy to have it in his
power to express his satin/action with the discipline anit ord• Fly
conduct of the troops, during the utvininidable lattguing.tiuty ct
which the service required their bell.; exposed to. during the
continuance of the operations of the Prussim army. The ob.
jeer of reconnoitring Antwerp ensld not have been sufficiently
accomplished without forcing the enemy from their last and
strong position in the of Merxeni. The Mannar in wbieh
arack of that village was conducted by the brigade under
Colanel Macleod's.nomrstand, directed by Major-General Mac-
kenzie, was most highly creeitable to the troops conternedl. in-
deed the advance of the dentelJnent of the sd Battalion of the

battalion 7ttth regiinent,.cotumanded by L'eutenalit:Colonel
Lutcbay, supported by the ‘l.d hat alion 25th, and the itd
mint, could not have been•seen without adinirazion. The Corns
iiiantieeof the Forces will consider it ate his duly to report it in
the light it deserves to his Majesty's Government, for the fa-
vour.ble cunsi.'eration of their Royal Highnesses the Prince
Regent', and tht 4.:onimander-in-Chief. No ve-eiatt troops ever
liehaveld better than those men, who met tKir eneiey fur the first
time,•and whose discipline anB galtantry'reflect equal clteit upon
thttmtelves and their Offierrs. The Comnutneler of the Forces
lament stti.- lolss they have sustained, which, however, mast have
been infioitely•p,reater, but for the rapidity or the iriVanCe,
the deck v: charge of the bayonet (a mode~ of attack which
always insures vie. ory to Briti-h soldiers} adopted on .his occa-
Tbe army will rej.ttce to know that Colonel Nlaeleod's

His figut e is good,..his mariners and deportment truly
eugagin-.; ; a residence in England, and an acquaint-
ance with his Bible, for two yeatt, have rendered him
capable, from the former, of speaking EIIOSII well
fo'r a foreigner, and from the lattet', -giving one 01 the •
'Most striking eiodences. in f.it-tir of the Bible,. and,
the pure doctrines it inculcates, to those who read it'
with a teachable spirit. Atter an introduction to thin
Chairman, he stood up to give his testimony, to the
truth. and power of the bible : he spoke at consider-
able length, with so much fluency, earnestness,. and
simplicity, as made the deepest- impression on the
meeting, and drew tears from every eye. This young
