THE ARMY.

We long ago Rated that it was in contemplation
to increafe the line and our difpofable force by a
draft from the Militia—it is a wife meafure. The
Militia are certainly our f.neß troops ; but at prefent
they are locked.up. We feel allured that no Colonel
of Militia will take umbrage at a meafure fo need-
-Sari at the prefent moment to the country. We
learn that it is immediately to be ailed on.
Yefferday the zit divition of the Queen's Regi
meat, commanded by the Hon. Colonel Rapist;
marched from Wincheller for Pirtfmoutb, there to
be embarked ; tlse ad divifion followed to-day. Dur-
ing their flay at Winchefter, the very gentlemanly
condu& of the Officers and the orderly condua of
the men, of this crack old Regiment, endeared them
to the inhabitan'ts.
The gallant Sir pus DaYLI is preparing to fet
off for Guernfey.
1 The 2d battalion of the both has come home a
fkeleton in the literal fence of the word, Kith hardly
1 a man but, a few remaining Officers.

. Colonel Timm& is to have the charge of the depot
at the He of Wight, and no higher officer will be
appointed: tke Duke of YORK has taken the princi-
pal part of this extenfive department, with the Ad-
I jutant Generals, under himftlf. It was formerly
under Mr. WINDHAM, a, Secretary for the War De-
partment. We hope the change will be. both teen-
nomical and beneficial to the public fervice.
On Tuefday the sph inftant, Major• General Mfr.
Lick, commanding the Waterford Dißriel, reviewed
at Geneva Barracks, his Majefly's 4oth and 69th
regiments of foot, preparatory to their intended cm-
bat kation for England, where they are going to re-
cruit their numbers, being favourite corps in their
refpeilive counties. The Major General was pleated
to fignify to Lieutenant Colonel Kamm's, comman-
ding the 4oth, and Lieutenant Colonel Blow/As, com-
manding tie 69,h regiment, his entire approbation
of the fleady and foldier•like appearance of their
Officers and men in the field, and the very great
attention of each Commandant to the Interior eco-
nomy of their refpeilive corps.
The 88th, or Connaught Rangers, chiefly recruits,
commanded by Lieutenant Colonel WALLACE, were
afterwards infiSeiled by the Major General.

The i ith regiment of foot is Rill at Plymouth, and
completing very fall.

The Carmarthen Militia ate on their march to De.
vonfhire ; and the Weft Kent to• Portfmouth.
Satnrday arrived at Liverpool, after a pleafant pel-
age of 2o hours, a detachment of that very fine re-
giment of cavalry, the King's German Legion, con-
ning of about zoo horfes. In a few minutes after
their arrival, the veffels were all birthed near the
quays. Much praife is due to the Agent for Tranf-
ports, by whofe exertions, though Sunday, the horfcs
were all fafely landed in leis than one hour, without
the fmallea accident.
On Tuefday fennight arrived, in Aberdeen, under
convoy of the Sparrow of 16 guns, the tranfportr,
'for fome time time expelled, having on board the
Argylethire Regiment of Militia, under the com-
mand of Lieutenant-Colonel Campbell. The tranf-
ports, four in number, immediately came into the
harbour ; and next day, the Arplefhire Regiment
landed, and replaced the Eafi Suffolk Regiment in
garrifon there. The fame afternoon, the EaR Suff,'lk
Regiment embarked on board the tranfports, and on
this occafion were attendel by a 'aft concourfe of
people, eager to (hew them every attention, and all
imprefred with fentiments of regret. on teeing this
exemplary Regiment take leave of Aberdeen, where
it had been quartered for neatly two years.

EAU. Alutaa.--In the derlin Telegraph, which
reached us yelterday, there is an article refpaling
this Nobleman of fuch an extraordinary nature, that
tve could not perfuade ourfeives we could with any
fafety give it 11 place in our columns. Some of our
contemporarits have ventured to publifh it, but we
thould think imnfelves culpable were we to do fo.
It .I,t- an attempt to trace his Lordthip's defcent
from the ancient Royal Family of England, for the
purpofe of proving that he has a claim to the Throne.
There was a time in out hiflory, when Inch an ar-
ticle would not hare been received with the contempt
and indifference it will produce at prefent. But it is
not the lean. curious circumflance that a Paper, under
the controul of BONAPARTE'S Government, Mould
fpcalc in loch favourable language of the reftoration
of an ancient regal fleck, and betray fume indigna-
tion againfi the principle of ufurpation, and againil
a nation being governed by foreign irifiead of native
Princes.

The following is all we can refill:he to infert from
the article :
4g The popularity enjoyed by the Earl of Moira in
Great Britain, is worthy of the moll particular no.
Lice. -It is the natural confequence of the high re
Bard-which the Earl has obtained by the wifdom of
his fpeeches in Parliament, by Lig genetofity, and the
fplendour that furrounds him out of Parliament ;
and hilly, by his brilliant defcerit. Lord Moira alto
poireffes the merit of being an Millman, a Merit
which the inhabitants of that gland do not meat with
indifference. The Earl is defcended by his mother,
a Baronet's Hunger ford from Henry de la Pole, Lerd i
Montagne, who was beheaded in 1588, becanfe he
had carried on a correfpondence with his brother
Cardinal de la Pale. Her mother was Countefs of
Saliibury, daughter rf George Duke of Clarence,
(brother of Edward IV.) condemned to death for
having revolted againil his brother ; he was a fon of
Richard Duke of York, who fell at Wakefield, in
460, in the wars of white and red role. His mother
Ann, heirefs of Lionel, Duke of Clarence, was mar-
ried to Richard, Duke of York, found guilty of a
confpiracy, and beheaded in 1415, who was the fon
of Edward Duke of York, fourth fon of Etlw lII.
The bodes of the Earl of Moira contains a ct-lit &ion
of portraits of his illuftrious and royal anceftors."
The re nainder of the article would difgrare our
columns and difguft our readers. We are utterly
at a lofs to conceive what can be the 01+:61 of this
extraordinary produflion ; but we are convinced that
the Noble L"rd, whole title to the Throne of theft
Realms it endeavours to ellablith, mull feel difguti
at the prailes which it !writhes upon him, and indig-
nation at the irdinuation with which it conclAcs.
