THZ ARMY.

Two more transports, with troops from the Scheldt,
arrived at Harwich yesterdays and several snore were
in sight when the mail came away. The troops, we
are sorry to add, are in a very sickly state.
'Friday last three troops of the Ist, or Royal Dra-
goons, marched into Cove, and were immediately em-
barked on board the transports which had been pre-
pared at tha place to receive them. Five troops more
of tie regiment were expected to arrive there in time
to be embarked on Monday and Tuesday, when it is
expectO.cl the whole will sail for Lisbon, under convoy
of the rocEnacri frigate, Captain MAITLAND.
At the attack on \Valchei en, the Royal Marines
were land tcl from the ships, and formed into ten
strong companies, under the command of Captain
LIARDET, and each company commanded by Cap-
tains WESIYS, CLARKE, CARRUTHERS, M4MILLAN,
rARVIS, BAGNALD, BOYS, OWRX, and Ham

A letter has been received from an Officer of the
23d regiment, who wus among those returned as miss-
ing at the battle of Talavera. He had been very se-
verely wounded, and was taken prisoner ; and we have
pleasure in stating, as a consolation to those whose
friends may be in a similar situation, that he mentions
his being attended by a skilful surgeon, and treated
with humanity and kindness.

We have just seen a Gentleman arrived from
Brussels, who says, that it was firmly believed there,
that had 5000 men been pushed on to Antwerp when
our forces first landed, they might have completely
destroyed the shipping and docks ; and that the force
sent to that place for some days was a motley ridicu-
lous mob, of no use whatever..

His Serene H;ghne::s the Prince of ORANGF, ac-
companied by several Foreigners of distinction, arrived

WATitzxs's Grand Hotel, in Fore-street. On Wed-
nesday morning they inspected the Dock-yard and
Arsenal, and afterwards dined with the Part Admiral
and General ENGLAND, at Government House.

An article from New-York, dated July 30, says :
" By the British schooner James, in 14 days, from
Port-au-Prince, we learn, that Cants-Fume and PE-
TION's fleet have recently had a severe engagement, in
which the latter- gained a signal victory ; and that
'their armies had met near the Cape, about the same
time, and that CiIRISTOPIIE had defeated Pk:no);
with very great slaughter."

The following trait of brotherly affection deserves
to be recorded :—At the commencement of the pre-
sent contest between this country and France, a young
man belonging to Bourdeaux, wholiad been married
only a few weeks, was drawn as a conscript, and or-
dered to appear beforealse Military Prefect at a stated
period to enrol himself 'kr the army. His feelings,
and the sympathising.distress nf his relatives, may be
more readily conceived than described. A younger
'brother. howeverr being a witness to the anguish of
:his brother and his-young bride, conceived the lauda-
ble resolution of freeing him from his distressing di-
lemma ; and, without giting the lea6t notice to any
of his relatives, he repaired to the Prefect, obtained
his brother's discharge, and enrolled himself in his
stead. Very soon afterwards he joined the army, and
being placed in a reaiment of dragoons, was taken
prisoner on the Continent, and sent to this country,
where he has remained a prisoner ever since. till

THE t :ea MI:CATION or Miss Cot rottng
Lady not being yet in a state to be removed from
Mr. Elistmi's house, a Magistrate attended there
He. esterday to take her examination relative to the
Injury she received whilst in the coach with Mr.
Eliston, jun. on Monday evening last. Her state-
ment was to the following effect :—She has been
acquainted with Mr. Eliston about three months, for
some reason which does not appear, however, her
friends did not apprOve of the connection—they via-
-1 sed the afternoon of Sunday together at a friend's
.house ; when the took an opportunity to suggest to
him the propriety of putting an end to their acquain-
tance, assigning, as a reason, that her friends were
averse to her receiving the addresses of any young
man •, he appeared extremely, hurt, and remonstrated
with her somewhat warmly ; before they parted, how.
ever, he seemed reconciled to her, and she consented
to goon the following morning (Monday) with him
and a female friend, with whom she was going home
that night, to the Tower ; he accordingly called for
them on Monda: morning, at the house of her friend,
i t Crooked-Ln:, and they went to the Tower, and
afterwards to the Royalty Thewre. They passed a
very pleasant evening, ard on their return took a
coach in the Minories, and set down htr friend in
Crooked-lane, as before stated ; when they got into
the Borough, instead of directing the coachman to.
wards Newingtoogate, near which her friends reside,
he orderedhim to drive down Dirty-lane, and on her
observing that that was not her way home, he said he
wanted to call at his father's ; after some pause, he
asked her if she still continued in the same resolutlen
which she had expressed the evening before, of break.
big off their acquaintance? She answered him in the
affirmative, and observed, that " at it was the wish
of her friends that the intercourse between them should
cease, the sooner it was put an end to the better it would
be fwr both parties." He soon after requested het to
look out of the coach and see whereabouts they were.
She did,so, and whilst looking out thought she heard
a rustling behind her in the coach ; turning herself
round quickly, she saw the pistol in his liarof, and at.
tempting to take hold of it, it went off. She did not
immediately perceive she was wounded, and almost
instantly alter saw the flash of another pistol, which
elle thought he had pointed at his own head. She
soon after discovered she was wounded, and told Mr.
Eliston,- rho exclaimed—" Then we are both dead
people ;" and called to the coachman to drive to No.
4'2, his father's house. He frequently begged her for-
giveness,: saying he had no intention to hurt her,, and
she repeatedly assured him .she did forgive him; She
slid not conceive that he had any intention to injure
her, but thonght his determination was to destroy
himself.—Here this singular affair must rest till Mr.
Eliston is sufficiently recovered to allow of his being
interrogated. His recovery, however, was yesterday:
considered as very doubtful.
The singular merits of " Nubilia in Search of a
Husband," have raised it to rapid popularity -a
learned and celebrated writer, in noticing this work,
says—" The author of NeWits has sometimes sur-
passed Cdebs in animation, variety, and elegance.—
Did our limits permit, we could select a number of
excellent practical remarks on education from this
• volume, which would be eminently useful in the in-
struction of youth : they deserve the attention of pa-
rents, guardians, and students of human nature.—
Throughout this •oork there is a vigorous tone of
morality, a dignity, an elevation of good taste ; and
acute discrimination on just principles rf inoraliry.—
If Web.r has. passed through nine editians, we s::ould
have a bad opinion of public taste if Nuidia does not
pass through rio:ht.—We have heard this volume at-
tributed to the ingenious and reverend writer who
lately displayed the t Fashionable World ;' but,
whoever may be its aor, it is unquestionably the
production of an enlightened, observing, and virtu-
ous mind, and bears internal evidence of talents and
learning."
