THE ARMY.

The following, we believe, will be found a tolera-
bly correct list of Sir A. W&LLFSLEY' Staff, and of
`the General Officers employed underliis command:

. .
I The Right Honourable Sir Aa-rika Wet. Latter, E. B. Com-
islander of the Forces.

Lieutenant-Colonel BATHErasT—Military Secretary.
The Honourable Finaor STANnore, and Lord Frrzior
;OM ERSET—Aides-de.Camo.

Brigadier-General the Hon. C. Srawaav—Adjutant General.
Colonel Muattar—Quarter-Master General.
Major Cou CAMP/ILL and Major BLAKlMAT—Assistant
Adjutants General.
GENERAL OFFICERS.
Major-General SHEIIIIROOKs.
Major-General Lord WILLIAM BLMTINCK.
Major-General EDWARD PAOLI'.
Major-General HILL.
Major General PA r N e and Major-General Co TTON —Cavalry.
Major-General JOHN MURRAY.
Major-General MAcaenzte.
Major-General BRRISFORD.
Major-General ALLIANDER CAMPSELL.
Lieut.-General CARTwaiouT to command the Cavalry.

The whole of the force to be nearly 30,000 men,
of which 18,000 are already in Portugal. From four
to five thousand are gone out under General HILL ;
from three to four thousand cavalry to follow ; also
two or three regiments more of infantry, besides ar-
tillery, &c.

The transports, having on board the 16th Dra-
goons for Portugal, were expected to sail from Fal-
mouth as this day, under convoy of his Majesty's
ship MAGICIENNE.

We sincerely hope that the Commander in Chief
of this Expedition will not be unnecessarily fettered
in his instructions. We are persuaded that every
person who has perused the papers presented to the
House of Commons relative to the operations of his
Majesty's forces in Spain and Portugal in 1808, must
be convinced, that the ill success which followed may
ba fairly attributed to the limited instructions given
to the Commanders—particularly to Sir JOHN MOORE.
Every person entrusted with such a command
ought to be worthy of confidence, and to posses it
fully. The idea that Ministers can suggest move-
ments for every possible contingency is an absurdity
of which NAPOLEON is never found guilty.
We have already mentioned, that the 2d Battalion
of the 32d Regiment is about to be employed in the
Expedition against Portugal. The services upon
which this battalion has been engaged, within the
short space of 18 months, have been so various, that
they deserve to be recorded. In July 1807, we find
it in Ireland, and at subsequent periods in succession
at Deal, Copenhagen, Ramsgate, Gosport, Gibraltar,
Sicily (Palermo, Messina, and Syracuse), and Cadiz.
afterwards formed part of the force of Sir AR-
THUR NV/Lunn, during his brilliant campaign in
Portugal. After a short pause we find it on its route
to Spain, escorting 700 carts of ammunition and
stores, through a most dreary and uncomfortable
track of country. Scarcely had they arrived at Sa-
lamanca, when the disastrous retreat to Corurina com-
menced, in all the fatigues of which the men and offi-
cers of the 32d shared with cheerfulness, perseverance,
and unexampled steadiness, owing to the unwearied
care and activity of its gallant Commander Lieut.
Col. HINDI. At a late inspection of this Regiment at
Horsham, by Lord CHARLES SOMERSET, the numbers,
health, and appearance of the men attracted his Lord-
ship's particular notice.
The 42d Regiment had only 36 men killed, and
about 100 wounded, at the battle of Corunna.

About 250 of the North York Militia have volun-
teered into different regiments of the line ; the Ser-
jeants of whith were recruiting in the neighbourhood
of Deal and Dover.

The Cambridge Militia, in barracks at Yarmouth,
have volunteered the number of men to serve in the
line,and marched yesterday morning to join their corps.
