Friday last, detachments of the 14th and 16th
Light Dragoons were embaded at Plymouth for
Lisboa. '1 he transports with these and the detach-
ments embarked the two preceding days, viz. for the
19th, 11th, 12th, and 13th Light Dragoons, are to
sail immediately. This reinforcement will prove
highly accelptable: the men are all fine young fel-
lows, their equipments are in the first stile, and their
horses in 1-.;gli cond,tion.
Two hundred of the Oth Regiment of Light Dra-
goons embarked at the dock-yard, Plymouth, on
Wednesday morning, for the Peninsula.

Generals Hol.E,Tasox, ANSON. and LE Cot:-
TEurt have gone Out to Portirgal to relieve the vete-
ran Generals BSRTHWICK, REMIss, and BORNE. The
Honourable General COLE immediately sets out to
his station, his division is tar the present commant4l
by the Hon. Maj..r-General CHARLts COLVILLE. To
the joy of the army in Poi tugal, the Honourable Ge-
neral PACKENIIAM is immediately to return to them,
that distinguished post, the command of the Light
Division, is reserved for him. It will be remembered
that this was the division of the army which the much'
to be lamented and brave CRAWFORD had : 'it is at
present commanded by Colonel BARNARD.

Daring the whole of-the contest in the Peninsula,
no regiment has perhaps suffered more, or seen more
real active service, than the gallant 43th. At TAU'
vera this regiment, single handed, lad the merit of
deciding the fate of the day by a steady and intrepid
charge with the bayonet—indeed, such was the cha-
racter acquired, by the heroes of the 48th on that oc-
casion, that they. have-had the honour of being par-
ticularly called upon to stand the brunt of almost
every action which has been fought since. At the
battle of Busaco, they were, as usual, fort-most on the
heights ; and at Albuera they repeatedlycharged and
put to flight several columns of French infantry,
which were pushed forward upon them in succession.
Our Readefs may judge of the nature of their services
on that occasion, when they are icformed, that ont of
4.23 rank and file, of which the 2d battalion consisted
on l!le morning of the •battle, only 27 were able to
stand on their legs at ale termination of the engage.
ment. They were led into action on that occasionby
Major Ws:. BROOKE, who may be considered as the fa-
ther of the regiment, having served in it 34 years in
various parts bf the world. He was engaged at the
,taking of many of the West-India Islands, and of '
Malta.—At the Battle of Albuera this gallant veteran
fell, coverc wi.h dangerous wounds, into the hands
of the enemy, and subsequently most miraculously
made his escape from the prison of the Inquisition at
Seville. He has now to deplore amid the illness
arising from his wounds, which now bleed afresh, the
loss of his two sons, the only props of his declining
years, both of them Officers in the same regiment :
the eldest, Captain W. H.- Bitoocc, was in the 24th
year of his age, when he fell in the breach at Ba-
dajoa, on the night of the sth, This gallant and pro-
niising riff% man was truly an iinfrnt de la Glam.
'His military services commenced at the arduous
blockade and capture of Malta, in 1800, when he was
not more than 13 years of age ; at Talavera, Bu•
sitco, and Ciudad Rodrigo, besides numerous other
minor, but not less dangerous enterprises Captain
rilitomcz was personallf engaged, and conducted him-
self with that intrepidity and skill, for which he was
I distinguished, to trie last moment of his glorious ca-
Lreer. His brother, Lieutenant Sous Bnoone, who
there is too much reason to fear has been wounded
mortally, Also commanded a Company of the 48th
on the memorable night of the sth. He is not more
than twenty-one years of age, and, like his lamented
brother, has fought at the battles of Talaveia, Bu-
saco, Albuera and Ciudad Rodrigo, having entered
the army as a isrotegi Of his brave father as soon as
he was able to carry the colours of the regiment.
Many and arduous as the acts of gallantry dune by
our countrymen on sea, and lately on shore, have
been, nothing that has yet been done exceeds the
Lstorming of fort Pieurina; few of them, we believe
come up to it. The party of men were almost all
liishmen, and led by Irishmen ; that on the right lay
captain OATRS, of the Cdbnaught Rangers, the
Mats al's own regiment; and that on the left by
Captain Powis, 83d. The Earl of WELLicovoN, the
Engineers, and all were istonished at the strenktth of
the place, when they went' into it the day after it was
taken ; and, it is said, that had they really known
the 4tUal strength of it, they would not have at-
