THE ARmr.

A very large Medical Staff is under orders for
America, to be attached, it is understood, to the
forces at present in c9urse of outfit.
Monday se'nnight the 79th Regiment, which landed
at Cork a few days ago, and were ordered for Gal-
way, were counter-ordered, and are to embark imme-
diately for foreign service.
The following Regiments are likewise ordered fcr
foreigft service : - their destination is America, viz.
11th Foot, from Wexford ; '2Bth, from Birr ; 40th,
from Athlone ; and 48th, from Clonmel.
Several smacks arrived in Leith Roads, on Satur-
day, with the Fites!iiry Regiment of Militia, who will
be immediately landed in their own County and dis-
embodied.

On the 6th and Sth inst. thl Durham Militia ar-
rived at B.trnardcastle, from Glasgow, and were re-
ceived witn cheers and ringing of bells. In the even-
ing there was a grand doplay of fire-works. On
Thursday they were disembodied. The ma drew
the Colonel, Major, and several other Oaicers, in two
carriages, round the market place, an a chaired others,
for their kind 'behaviour towards them.

The 2d Battalion of the 27th Regiment has em-
barked at Cork for Scotland. It is to be stationed in
Edinburgh Castle, and, with the depot, will form a
Battalion of nearly 1000 strong.
By a letter from one of the 61st Regiment of foot,
now lying at Fermoy, Ireland, it appears that of the
14.00 meri, of which the Regiment was composed just
previous to the battle of Corunna, only tea veterans
are now left, three of whom are Commissioned Offi-
cers, the others privates ; among the latter it is re-
mat 'cable there are two brothers—their name is Hogg.

We stated yesterday the purport of the Duke de
BERRI'S mission to have been to invite the Pui Noe RE-
GENT to Paris. A report is, however, in circula•inn,
that beneath the ostensit,le object of the Duke de
Bzunt's visit, another purpose was concealed, namely,
to propose some new arrangement regarding the Ne-
therlands, the surrender of Belgium having, it is said,
excited considerable dissatisfaction in France.

By accounts from Archangel of the 17th of June,
we learn, that the last winter had made greater in-
roads into the summer of that northern latitude than
ever had been known in the memory of man. The
ice of the Dwina had not broke up till the 24th of
May, and even in the middle of June the White Sea
was full of drift ice. No ships had then arrived at
Archangel from foreign parts, but immense quan-
tities of flax, hemp, tallow, and grain were expected
from the interior of Russia.
The annexed is taken from a communication dated
Calcutta, December 90:—
' By the latest native advices from the North-west
frontier it appears, that the Seik forces were pouring
from every quarter in the direction of Cashmire :
RUNJEIT SING Whims-If proceeded to the banks of
the Helun, where, it is said, he has assembled an army
of nearly 50,000 horse and foot, in the neighbourhood
of Aurungabad. It was thought the march of that
army might be delayed until after the winter, as the
mountains were, in many places, impassable from
snow. The HAKIM. of Cashmire, has taken the pre-
caution to block up and fortify the passes. MAH-
MOOD SHAH, the Sultan of Cabo!, has set out, we
are told, from that Capital to Puhour, which was
also threatei ed by the Seiks; and, it was reported,
that his Vizier, FUTTSH KHAN, had followed him with
all the force he could collect. Our Indian readers
will view, with no small concern, the active and pow.
erful military operations of the Selk Chiet, Ittninier
SING, whose power, already considerable, will, in
event of success over the King of CABUL, become
formidable as a neighbour of the Company in that
quarter; and, from the hardihood, warlike disposi-
tion, and the peculiar kind of force of which the
Seik consist, we think the Government in this coun-
try should watch, with an attentive and jeal,,u.,
eye, over the operations of those Seik Chiefs; and
discourage, if possible, the martial spirit which,of fait.,
has been manifested against their northern and west.
ern neighbours ; and which, if much increased, may
soon be directed towards the South and East into the
Company's possessions. Rummy SING himself re-
mained stationary on the banks of the Helun, where
he liad apembled an immense Army of Seiks,
and was joined by all the Rajahs of the Kohistun.
He had been joined by Furreu SING, one of his prin.
Sirdars, whom he talked of detaching again:.
MOOLTAN. The camp of MULHAa RAO HOLICAA was
at Rampooial."
