Captain PEARCE: they carry out reinfoicements for
most of the infantry regiments in Portugal ; nearly

regiments now serving under Sir ARTHUR WBLLES-
LET in Portugal. Many Officers went out to join
their regiments: among them, Majors McDoNALts,
ELDER) and AIRD. A large division of the Waggon
Train and some Artillery went out.

stores, will sail for Portugal in about a week.

ders have also been sent to the 95th Rifle Corps at

CORN MARKET, MARK-LANL—The supplies of
Wheat this day are considerable, but, owing to the
late reductions, and presuming on farther, the buyers
make few purchases, and those at somewhat less—
Barley and Malt are each cheaper—White Peas like-
wise—Grey, and Beans, hardly support last prices—
there are large supplies of Oats, some foreign, and
many from. Ireland; sales in this trade are rather
cheaper, and sales of Pious at the late reduction.
