The retjiments of Life Guards are now reduced to
an est.l.3lishnunt of 50 men per troop, and will be

. The Royal North Downshire Regiment of Irish
Militia embarked on board of four transports, at Chat.
ham, on Fr:day last, for Carlingford Bay, in their
native country. This highly disciplined and well-re-
gulated corps has been stationed in Chatham for the

whose warmest wishes they carry with them.

A son of the celebrated Mrs. CLARK has lately ob.
tained a Cornetcy in General de Lancav's regiment
of Dragoons.
We are happy to fird that it is at last in contern-
lation to mike the Lieutenant-CoJosels of Cavalry
who are Major-Generals participators of the liberality
of Government. It is known the Mdor-Generals of
Infantry have, by the late regulations, had their pay
increased from 17s. to 255. per day ; and the Guards
have got theirs fixed at 4500, 4700, and £9OO a year;
whilst the General Officers of Cavalry have had no
adequate augmentation to their regimental allowance.
We understand, however, they are now to receive
141 10s. which will about make up the interest on the
difference in 'value of their commissions and those of
the Infantry,

• The Admiralty ought to be aware, that, in conse-
quence of the nature at the American war, there are'
no privateers cruizint:tagattsr the ships of the United

receive that assistance from the mercantile cruizers
which it formerly did. That there are vessels with,
letters of marque - against the United States, we
do not doubt, we know indeed that there are; but
u hut we assert is, that the war, offering in chance of
to the owners of privateers, there are no private
of war.
