THE ARMY.

Thofe of the z 3 battalions of regiments who havel
now nearly completed their numbers, have been fent
to the iflands of Guernfey and Jerfey, to be perfeBed
in difcipline. We Come time ago announced the pro-
bability of Tome of the 2d battalions being called on
altive fervice from thence : the zd battalion of the
56th Regiment, the Pompadours, are now under
orders for India. Much to the credit of the Com-
manding Officer of this battalion, which is goo
firong, under Lieutenant General Sir JOHN Do: Ls,
the Lieutenant Governor of Guernfey, they have at.
tait.ed the molt perfeft (late of difcipline, acd are
announced to be fit for any fervice.
It is not improbable hut that the fecond battalion
of the 18th, or Royal Irifh, now in Jerfey, may foon
be fent on fervice. This fine battalion mutters up.
wards of t too men. The firft battalion of the Royal
frith is in Jamaica, and by loft accounts was in a very
healthy Rate there.
A report has juli reached us, that the whole of the
German Legion, Artillery, Dragoons, and Infantry,
are to be very fpeedily embarked for the Continent,
and to be accompanied by Tome Briti(h heavy cavalry.
We give this merely as a report.
The Hon. Lieutenant General Fox is loon expeaed
home from the army in the Mediterranean. Lieute-
nant General biome E, as tl.e. fenior Officer, will cow.
wand in General Fox's abfence, till a Commander in
Chief is Lilt from this country.

General Lord LAKE is loon expe6led from India;
in hi. ablence, and till Lieutenant General HawiTT
goes out, Lieutenant General Sir JOHN CRADDOCK
will have the chief command in India.
It is laid that three General Officers are to go out
to India in place of Lieutenant Generals NicoL4s,
CRADDOCK, and lkl4Dowatt, all of whom are com-

ing Hume.
Along with the India fleet now colleCling, and
which will tail in about a month, it is probable that
more detachments and recruits will be tent out for
all the regiments in South America. In the mean
time Government are in daily and anxious expeCta-
tion of accounts ft cm that quarter. The Readers
of the STAR may expett the earlielt and moft correCt
tniliiary intelligence from our able Corrtfpondent
there.

We give no credit to the various reports cf appoint-
ment to tke Infpe6lor Generallhip of the Recruiting
fervice. We have heard the names of three very
terpeEiable General Officers named to this place; but
we believe Government mean to abolith it, and con.
folidate it with another office. At prefent the ex-
pences of this office are not much lets than zo,oool.
