their quarters for this night in the vicinity itEgham
and Staines., the military Band accornpang them
no fotther than the entrance of Hammersmith : they
evinced the same spirit of military ardour, zeal and
lotalty, as their comrades who marched from town
yesterday awning ; and as they Ixissed the harr:,:.ics
of the Life Guards,_ most of them, being out in front
of the place, greeted them with threi huzzas.

The Guards remaining in town this day changed
their different quarters, which, on account of the rein-
forcements intended to be sent to the Marquis of War.;
Liturrox, did not take place this year, as customary
on the 24th of August.
Dr. HENRY ROBERTSON'S health is so completely
reestablished since his return to England, that he is
to proceed tD rejoin the Army in Portugal by the
first cOuvoy.

Major-General O'LocantlN; of the Life Guards,
has just left Dublin, where he Has been some time
on the Staff, to proceed to London, from whence he
accompanies the part of the Life Guards ordered on
Foreiga Service.
A detachment of the Royal Dublin Militia are at
present at Ha:tinys. Tlie correct bel.a,iiuor of the
privates, as well as the tentlemanly conduct of their
Officers, cannot be too highly commended.
The general service men of the First, Second, and
Third Garrison Battalions, at present in Ireland, are
now ordered all to be formed into the Third Garrison
Battalion, which is then to be made a disposable re-
giment of, and sent abroad in a short time.

Eight troops of the King's Dragoon Guards are

to relieve the 19th Light Dragoons, which go to

Government, it is said, mean to t:-.ke adiantage of
the feeling excited by the recent braliant successes in
Spain, by remitting 10,000 men to volunteer in thel
course of next month, from the militia into the line.l

On Wednesday the liaq examination of the senior
Department of the Royal Military College, previous
to its removal to Farnham, was held at High Wy-
combe, when Lieutenant SUMNER. the only Officer
to be examined, had the honour of appearing before
a Board of which his Royal Highness the Duke of
KENT was President ; Generals HOPE and CAINk:ItT,
the Deputy Quarter Master General, and Colonel
BUTLER, Members ; when, after a strict examination
on the different branches of study, in which he acquit-
Led himself in a most brilliant manner—they were
pleased to grant him a Certificate, stating him to be
fully qualified to serve in the General Staff of the
Army ; and as a further mark of their approbation,
to give him a Special Recommenchtion to his Royal
Highness the Commander in Chief. This Depart-
ment, which has produced many of the most dis-
tinguiLhed Officers in the present war in the Penin-
sula, is to be removed, in December, to Farnham ;
and the Junior Dep irtment will ga from Marlow to
the new College at Blackwat't.

A genera}, opinion prevailed yesterday, that a dis-
solution of Parliament wculd titke place early in the
ensuing month.
General SARRAZiN has at length received a pass
port from the Alien Office, to proceed to Sweden,
and this day qiiitt.d London.
By private accounts from Paris, we learn, that
about till end of last mnnth, MASSENA, with ten
thousand men, passed through Bayonne to join the
wreck of Mattmoxr's army. Tnere is no reason to
feel dispirited at this. Nlasict‘a has already shewn that
he is not mere formidable than any of the tribe of
Generals tali° have given way beFure British skill and
bravery. It would be difficult to find one among
them whose prowess has been so completely fathomed.
He has been beaten ender every species of trial.' The
French letters give him ten thousand troops—but,
if this is the whole amount of the reinforcement which
France can send to rtri.2vo her fortunes in the Pe-
ninsuli, what must be the exhausted state of her hoMe
defence ? Could a more favourable moment be chosen
for menacing .her coast with a fleet ? An operation
that made her tremble for the safety of her naval
arsenals, might, while it retarded future reinforce.
ments, even relieve the allies of those which have al-
ready advanced.
By our letters from the Brazils, we have received
advice of the death of the Prince Don PEDRO, on the
4th of June last. He MO-tied the PRINCE RECANT'S
daughter, and his issue will succeed to the Throne of
Portugal. By same dispatches we learnt also,
the sudden death of the Marquis 'DE POMBAL. A
general mourning amongst the Portuguese families
resident in London, will immediately take place 'fot
their Prince Don PEDRO.

Previous to the sailing of the East-India Fleet,
Iletters had been received at Calcutta, from Bundle-
cund, stating that the force under Colonel MARTIN.
DELL, which had fi r some time been assembling in
that province, arrived on the 19th of January before
Call!nger, a strong bill fort in the centre of Bundle-
cund, of great extent and reputed strength. The
army had taken up their ground for the siege of that
place, but hostilities had not commenced. It was the
general opinion that the fort would capitulate.
In consequence of the, commotion in Arracan, a
lbody of troops frotn the Chittagong district has taken
the field to protect the British frontier from molesta-
tion. At the-date of the last accounts, this force was
lencamPed on Rams Plain, where Colonel MORGAN,
with seven companies of the Native Infantry, to the I
number of 500 men, arrived on the 24th January.—
Captain Cooten, with a party of sepo7s, had been
dispatched to Otea Glinut, with or3ers to oppose any
attempt on the part of the Arratanest to pass into
our territory t and Captain Smut was abcat to
march to 'leek Neruff with similar instructions.
The Wars mention the march,: a force from poo.
rah against ,tprt Aukbe.
