the Fira and Third B.l:taliarts of the Firfi Guards at
peat; dirc&ing their immediate match for lAndon,
the orders were received at fix o'clock on Friday
morning, and though many of the men were harvell-
ing as tar dillant as eleven miles, they were called in',
and the fiat battalion began to march at half paft
twelve o'clock, and arrived at Chatham Barracks by
-forced marches on Saturday ; the 2d battalion ar-

a &Cut of molt unequalled delicacy. Ticy had
bad cooks, confeeioners, &c. from ToWn, prepar-
ing for. the nceafion for fonie.,time, and had erected
a. building, for: the reception of their friends. The
Alacrity with which the troops both at Chatham and

and a quantity of that drug was at the bottom of the

has not yet been difcovered.
On Saturday the Northumberland Militia marched
in here,. from Ofpringe, to do the duty, at the Bar-
racks; but in conlequence of the orders received by
the Guards, their fervices were not wanted, and on
Sunday morning they re-traced their former route.

tally fown amongft a bed of quick; was lately pluck.
ed in a field of Mr. M. RCICC, at Swinethead, which
had toff Items, and nurtured as many yeats of grain,
alma every one of which was well filled.
A fight took place fame days fince in Wentworth-
fireet, Spita'fields, between two women of the town ;
a failor, who witnelfed the conted, was fo pleafed
with the dexterity of one of the pugilifts, that he of-
fered to marry her, provided fhe would accompany
