Two fkeleton regiments of the line, the Stith and
776, lately arrived in the Downs from the EaR In-
dies. have been ordered round to the River, difent..
barked at Gravefend, and marched to Chatham bar-
racks. The report of the removal of the Royal
Surrey militia from Dover to Canterbury, is errone-
ous, no loch orders having been iffued.
It is among the probabilities of the hop rearm,
that calualities fimilar to the following fhould occur:
A fire broke out on Tuefday morning in the hop °aft,
belonging to Mr. D. J. Parker, near the Croft Keys,
Canterbury, fuppofed to have been occafioned by the
hurtling of a cockle, which at firft threatened fetious
confequences, but by the timely and prompt afliilance
of the inhabitants was luckily got under, after having
deßroyed the roof of that part of the building where
it originated•—ln the evening of the fame day a
fimilar circumflance took place in another oaR, be.
longing to Mr. Charles Delmar, in the precina of St.
Augulline's Monafiery, which was alfo happily ex-
tinguiflied, after having done but trifling damage.

His Royal Highnefs the Duke of Watt is expetied
to review the tegiments, both of Cavalry and Infan•
try, quartered in Ipfwich and Woodbridge Barracks,
on the 25th init. His Royal Highnefs the Prince of
WALES is expeeted to attend the review, on his way
to Sudbourn Hall, to vilit the Marquis of H RTF ORD.
The grand revew of the two Brigades of Eaft and
Weft London Militia, and Firft and Second Tower
Hamlets, with the Honourable Artillery Company
and the Loyal London Regiments, is pollponed for
the prefent, until the tides lave to admit of the boats
of the River Fencibles taking them down and up.
Yeflerday the Royal Cardigan Regiment of Militia,
commanded by Colonel Baooas,marched from Sheer-
nefs to Chatham. They have been quartered at
Sheernefs for force time, and a more orderly and ra-
fpeetable regiment, in point of conduEt, military ap-
pearance and ability, was never quartered in any
place.
The Eall Staff9lk marched into Sheernefs yeller-
day, to take up the placelof the Cardigan.
Yeflerday the North Lincoln Militia marched from
Ipfwich for Harwich ; and the Ea& Norfolk and
Derbylltire regiments marched into Ipfwich Bar.

The inhabitants of the feveral towns on the Grand
Wefiern Read were, during the lafi fortnight, grati
fied with the arrival there of 200 fine young fellows
from that highly difciplined regiment the Worcefier,
at prefent in gartifon at Plymouth Dock, who have
volunteered, with peculiar alacrity and zeal, for the
7th Royal Fufileers. There men, the flower of that
excellent regiment, being all remarkably young, and
chiefly from the think conspanies, were commanded
by a Captain of the Facers, accompanied by two
of their own officers, and are now on their march to
Chelmsford, the head quarters of the regiment to
which they are deflined to form fo valuable an
acquifition. The readinefs with which the men of
the Worcefler were encouraged by their Colonel to
volunteer, after the immediate provifion of the quota
appointed by Government for the regiment, met its
the higbeft panegyric.
We have teen letters from Tome intelligent mer
chants at Lithon, which cxprefs an opinion that the
clofiog of the Portuguefe ports againft our trade is,
notwithfianding all apprehenfions entertained, a very
improbable event. This opinion, the writer of one
of thefe letters grounds upon a calculation of Bois
!AMITE'S policy. - He Rates. that the trade of this
country with Portugal " is not as a molehill to a
mountain (as he expreffes it) compared to the trade
of France with that country." He, indeed, expref
fes his furprife that the immenfe difproportion had
not heretofore provoked the interpolition of our Go
?eminent, in order to curtail it: The writer there-
fore infers that France, however the may tile the
language of menace to extort money, is not likely to
take a;ty meafure that might endanger, if not dellroy,
he advantages the derives fro?n the neutrality of
Portugal. We believe there may be Come jullice in
this view of the cafe, though DaNATAILTII does not
always at upon calculAons of commercial loft or
gain in bib nteafures. In order to dillrefs the com
risme of England he might not much confider the

And thou rearce fav'd from the impending blow 1
Fate has prererviil thy life—.thy life preferv.d•
Only to grace the haughty Victor s arms;

Since vile captivity thy pow'r difarms.

Thy days than abject mifery coefume,
While penfive filence thy hard Rate deplores,

And BRITAIN'S Sons, with kindling ardor, owe
