THE ARMY.

We may now daily expect the molt interefling ac-
counts from our South American Army ; and our
Readers than, have the earlieft information from the
fame accurate Correfpondent who lately enabled us
to give the firft accounts from St. Jago.
Lieut. General SIMON FRASER goes out as Com•
mander in Chief, with a Staff, to Nova Scotia, in
place of General GARDIN SR,. deceafed.
Recruits and detatchments are going out to all the
regiments under Generals A UCHEI II TY, BER UFOS El,
and CRAWFORD, by the (hips now under difpatch at
Portfmouth.

The i ith foot, commanded by Major Fnrris,
lately arrived a skeleton from the Welt Indies, is
nearly full, in Devonthire its native aqunty.—Head
quarters, Tiverton.
The very large fleets for the Eaft, and Weft Indies,
and for the Mediterranean, are (till detained at Portf.
mouth, and the force for South America proceeds
with them, and tome line of battle (hips will convoy
the whole.

By the appointment of General Wurrscocits to
the Command in Chief of South America, there is a
vacancy in the valuable office of Infpeaor General
of the Recruiting Service. The names of feveral
General Officers as candidates for this apoointment,
have reached us, and we forebore mentioning them
as there was much uncertainty. We now hear that
Government have determinecton abolilhing this office
entirely, as very expenfive, the Winds of it to be
done between the other public officers, as was cuftom-
ary till within• the lafl few years.
Government really deferve great credit for abolifh-
ing the cffice of Barrack !Wafter General; the duties of
this is to be confolidated with that of the Ordnance
Department; the Maier General of which is to count
both in his office. Lord 'MOIRA delays taking charge
till Lieut. General HEWITT has finally arranged and
given the Department up clear to him, previoufly to
his departing to his commard in India. •
Colonel CAREY, now the zd in the Barrack De-
partment, goes on the Staff to India.

We hope the late reports regarding the Cape of
Good Hope are unfounded, but an addition to its
garrifon bconles requifite.

Mr. Wvwnt, our late Envoy to the Court of
Drefden, and Wacrrars., the Mefrenger, reached
town yeiterday morning. The latter was the bearer
of difpatchos from Mr. ADAM, at Vienna, dated the
29th ult. which are undertiood to be rather of a fa-
vourable complexion.
• Private accounts from the Continent (late, that an
order, figned by BONAPARTE at Warfaw, has been
received by BOURIENNE, at Hamburgh, dire9ing the
immediate difpnfal of the confifcated Englifh pro•
petty at that place, fume of which is to be fent to
France, force to' the Army in Poland, and the re-
mainder to be fold upon the fpnt.
The report of Turkey having declared war againfl
Runt was not believed at Memel when the 'aft ac-
counts left that city.

We can confidently nate, that information has
been received at the Admiralty, that Admiral Louis's
Squadron received, about the beginning of this month,
a reinforcement of five or fix Mips of the line—a cir•
cunailance of incalculabte confequence atthis moment.
The Fiat Lieutenants of the Arethufa, Anfon,
Latona, and Fifgard frigates, who were at the for-
tender of the ifland of Curacoa, ate to be promoted
to the rank of Commanders.
Admirals ROWLEY and HOLLOWAY have flruck
their refpeeive flags at Sheernefs and Deal, and are
at rived in town, on their way to Portfinouth, to fit
as Members of the Court Martial on Sir HOME Pot.
HAM.

Extra& of a letter from an Officer in the expedi-
tion to Curacoa, dated January 1, 1807, Fort George,
late Fort Republique:—.4 I addrefs you from a for-
tified pinnacle, containing 12 guns, and too men,
which I have pledged my word (hall not be welled
from me by 3000. You will rejoice at the fuccefs of
the Navy,elpecially as the leader and whipper-in were
Bet kihire Captains. My .noblefi pride is that I have
fought under fuch a hero as CualtLEs Beassaup."
