THE ARMY.

We bare of late given an interefting detail of the
Report of the Military Commit oners on the Bar-
rack Department. We mean to prefent to our Read-
ers Abftraels of the Reports on the other Depart-
ments as they come in review 'before the Board oft
Military Commiffioners. Ir is, we believe, now de-
termined, ta place the whole of the Barrack Depart.
menu, along with the Ordnance, under the Earl of
Moue. From the well known charaeter of bis
Lordfhip, much clear arrangement, and a great
Paving of the Public Money it this very estenfive
Department, may now be looked for.

Among the 2d battalions that have been molt fun-
cefsful in recruiting, is the 7 tft Highlanders, now
at Glafgow. From the popularity of Lord Gamins
BE' I map, and Major ARCHSBALD CAMPBELL, this
battalion is now nearly complete. The tft battalion
of this fine regiment is at Buenos Ayres,with General
Bilasvozn.

The zd battallnns Ertl completed, were thole of
the dillinguifhed regiments, the 27th, or lonifkillen ;
the 4zd, ox Royal. Highlanders the 78th, or Refs-

&Ire Highlanders ; 792 h, ar Cameron Highlanders
and 91d; or Gorden, Highlanders. The ad battalion,
of the 78th and 92d, have long fince been on fervice.
The *24 of the 78th is the regiment which fo ditlin.
goifited itlelf under Coloned M,Lson in the battle of
Maida.

Another expedition, for a diaant quarter, is talked
of, and to be commanded by a gallant Officer, whe
diainguilhed hintfelf in the Eaff, and who is eir_
tremely popular in the Army.

Bt igadier-Generals BRODERICK and ACK LEND, and
Colonel DREW RY have returned from the army in the
Mediterranean. Our military readers, and the cons.
try in General, will rejoice to hear that Sir Joins
STEWART, Sir JOHN MOORE, and Sir Sinner SMITH
remain for the prefent with the Army—fuch heroes
we would regret to fee unemployed at the prefent
moment. It is Paid that General Fox will return to
England at no very diflant period ; we have even
heard the names of two dillinguifhed Officers as his
fuccelfor in the chief command in the Mediterranean.
Large detachments of recruits are now going out
for the Goth and Eta Dragoons, 12th, Etath, and mot
of the other regiments at the Cape and India, by the
fleet now about to fail frcm Portfmonth.

such has been the fuccefs of recruiting, uttr the
Septennial Synem, that the Depot in the Ifle of
Wight, to which all recruits are fent, is fo thronged
that great numbers are quartered on the victuallers
at Newport, Cowes, and different villages in the
ifland.

The two Dutch Indiamen and a Dutch frigate,
the capture of which we announced on Saturday,
were all richly laden with the treafures of Batavia,
accumulated fince the commencement of the prefent
war. The lots of thefe valuable prizes, which have
doubtlefs a confiderable quantity of fpecie or bullion
on board, the hard earnings of Dutch induftry and
trade in the Eall, mull have a powerful effelt on the
tottering government of Kis: Louis, who fo recently
boafted of the wealth of Batavia, and of the fuccours
it would afford his government and good fubjeas of
Holland. To the brave captors the veffels will be
more produCtive than any other prizes taken fines
the capture of the Spani(h treafure 'hips.
