THE ARMY.

GENERAL ORDERS.
Dated Horse Guards, April 19.
The Commander in Chief ha been pleased to direct that it
shall be expressed in General Orders that he is extremely grati-
fied by the appearance of the troops which he has seen this day,
as likewise of the Royal Regiments of Life Guards, Horse Ar-
tillery, and Corps of Cavalry, which he inspected on the 16th
instant, and he has still greater satisfaction in conveying to them,
Collectively and individually, his thanks for the good clnduct they
have uniformly maintained in their cantonments and quarters,
since their service has been required in the metropolis. No one
complaint of irregularity of any kind has reached the Commander
in Chief. It is a circumstance which does infinite honour to the

troops, and to their Commanders, and the Commander in Chief
has derived peculiar satisfaction from having had it in his power
to make his report to the KING in terms which have obtained fur
them his Majesty's most gracious approbation.
We understand that Sir DAVID DUN DAS has agreed
to retain the Chief Command of the Army for the
present.

Lord DOUGLAS'S regiment, the Forfarshire Militia,
have arrived at Berwick, on their way to England.
Sir SAMUML AUCHMUTY'S regiment, the 103 d, and
the 2cl battalion of the 45th, the corps which so much
distinguished itself at Monte Video and Talavera, are
on the march to Portsmouth, to embark for the island
of Guernsey, to relieve two regiments proceeding to
reinforce Lord Wellington's Army.
The embarkation of the Hussar Brigade is stopped
for the present.
Five thousand French prisoners have been just sent
to Porchester Castle ; a troop of the 7th Dragoons,
and the Northampton Militia, are on duty over them.
We perceive that the reduction of General Officers
and Staff, on the home service, which was so much
pressed upon Ministry a little time back, has now in
part taken effect :
In Scotland, the 2d in command, Lieut.-General
CAMPBELL, of Monzie, M.P. has been put off the
Staff; and it is proposed to reduce Lord ROSSLYN,
and another General Officer, from that Staff.

The reduction on the home Staff is not yet finally
arranged. Sir HARRY BURRARD, and other three Ge-
nerals, will, it is said, be reduced from this Staff.
Ten Generals are certainly not required for the Lon-
don duty.

General TARLETON has been reduced in the Severn
District, and it is said that this, as well as the North-
west, and Inland, will be abolished as districts, having
no troops.

The York will be incorporated with the Northern
District ; head-quarters at Newcastle.
The South-west District has been incorporated with
the Portsmouth District, and both placed under Major
General WitETHANI.
One or two Generals will be taken from the Wes-

tern District, but there will be little change in the
Eastern, Kent and Sussex Districts, as they have all
of them troops and much real duty.
The Artillery of the King's German Legion is
now on its march to Bexhill. The very exemplary
conduct of both the Officers and men, during five
years that they have been quartered at Porchester,
made their departure deeply regretted by the Ladies
and Gentlemen of Fareham, Porchester, and all the
neighbourhood.
Reinforcements are still constantly going out to
Spain and Portugal ; every battalion there is kept up
to the most complete and effective state.

The Dnmfries-shire, Berwick, Forfar, Stirling, and
Edinburgh Regiments of Militia, are coming to Eng-
land, to relieve the same number of Scotch regiments
now in this country.
His Excellency Sir SAMUEL, AUCHSIUTY, with his
suite, is expected to set off from Long's Hotel to
Portsmouth, to embark in the Diar.a Indiaman, which
has been fitted out for his reception.
Major-General WARD, of the Guards, is President
of the Court Martial, at Madras, which tries Colonel
Doveton, and the mutinous Officers.
Report circulates the names of the new Comman-
ders in Chief both to the East and West Indies. Since
his accident, for the last two years, General Hewirr
has been quite a cripple ; and from age and service
the veteran Sir GEORGE BECKWITH will return and
retire. General BROWNRIGGE, it is said, is most likely
to go to India, and Sir GEORGE PREvosT to succeed
to the Chief command in the West Indies.
The military that were brought into London, in
consequence of the late disturbances, began to be
marched on their different routes on Thursday, and
yesterday morning. The 3d and 4th regiment of
dragoon guards were marched yesterday morning for
Greenwich, &c. The squadron of the Royal Horse
Guards (Blues) marched from the King's Mews
this morning for their quarters at Windsor.
Yesterday forenoon, the Loyal Regiment of South-
wark Volunteers, commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel
ALCOCK, mustered at their head-quarters, in the
Borough, High-street. At twelve, at noon, they were
marchcA off to the Montpellier Ground, at Walworth.
They were formed in a regular way, and at one
o'clock, Lieutenant-Colonel ADDENRROOKE, the regu-
lar Inspecting Officer of that district, came on the
ground. He dismounted, and examined minutely,
the arms, accoutrements, &c. and appeared well
pleased. The usual business of a grand field-day was
gone through in a great style ; a royal salute con-
cluded the business of the day, and the corps returned
to head-quarters, where they were discharged.
