HER.

The Brevet is also to include an advance of Majors
to the rank of Lieutenant• Colonel, and of Captains
to be Majors, but we have not heard the precise period
to which these two last are to come down. The one
7e believe is to descend to the end of 1800, and the
other to the end of 1802.

By the above Major-Generals CHABLIS CRAWFURD
Zr,d F. HUGONIN quit the Staff.
The recent Brevet on the occasion of the Jubilee,
mixes the present appear singular ; and, therefore,
'ye hear, that it is supposed to be a compliment paid

resignation as Commander in Chief. The rumour is,
that it has been offered to his Royal Highness the
Duke of Cambridge, but that he has not yet signified
cis assent.
