• In the above calculation the pay of the Co/onel is
net taken into account, neither is the clothing, nor
the allowance for lodging and fuel. In regard to the

reduction of sixteen Beataliorub for two Companies in
each of eighty Battalions took place, as in either case
the number of men reduced would be equal.. And
as to the Colonel, his allowance as a General l*cer,
in the event of the reduction of his Regiment, would
be equal in amount to his pay as a Colonel.
This calculation has been made with reference
eighty Regiments, on the idea that twenty Battalions
at a full establishment, would be on service in the
East Indies. A further reduction in the establish-
ment of Corps could be effected on the same princi-
ple, and producing a similar result of greater saitirtz
to the public, than by the reduction of entire Batta-
lions ; thus preserving, unbroken, the present high
spirit and discipline of the British Army, and afford-
ing an assurance, that in the event of a future v. ir,
the nation would at once have the advantage of po:.
sessing an Army composed of Regiments of triri
discipline and established system, instead of raw, un-
formed new levies, without energy, or spirit of Corps.
This morning the 80th regiment, under the com-
mand of Lieutenant-Colonel Comcsoti, marched from
Cameerbury to Sheerness, to be stationed there until
further orders. This regiment, which arrived from
Incria in August last, after. an absence of twenty-
one years, is now fast increasing its strength to the
Peace Establishment.
The friends of Lieutenant-General Sir HENRY
CLINTON will be happy to hear that his medical at-
tendants entertain great hopes that he will eventually
be restored to the service of his country. His suffer-
ings, however, are still very great.
Private letters from Bombay communicate in a
more detailed form than has yet been published in this
country, the arivngement made with the PEISHWA.
He cedes to the British Government territories yield-
ing a clear revenue of 34 lacs of rupees-25 of them
fall to the Bombay Presidency, by our occupation
of the country from Penwell, or Panwelly, 27 miles
east of Bombay, to Demean, on the coast north of
Bombay---a brie of territory about 80 miles. We are
to occupy, besides, the Bassein and Jumbosen and
its dependencies, and also have the PEISHWA's share
of tribute from Kattywar. The remaining nine lacs
of rupees go to the Presidency of Madras. These
are provided for by cessions in the Carnatic and the
forts of Darwar and Kilshelgur. The important fort
of Ahmednugger is also ceded to us with land around
it to 2000 yards. It was taken by General WELLES..
LEY on the 12th of August, 1803, and ceded to the
British by DOWLUT Row SCINDIA, at the Treaty con-
cluded in December, 1803. In April, 1804, it was
restored to the Pzisuwa. The possession of this fort-
ress gives the command of the city of Poonah, and
affords the best entrance into the territories of the
PEISHWA and the NIZAM. Certain yasture lands are
also given us for our troops in the Deccan. On our
part, we are to augment our subsidiary fprce to 12,000
men. The Pitishwa is also required to maintain ir-
regular horse and foot amounting to 8000 men, to
be officered by Europeans.

CORN-EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, FEBRUARY 2.
Having a very small supply of Wheat this morn-
ing, caused ready sale for that of fine quality at an
advance of 2s. per quarter ; and all other descriptions
sold on full as good terms as on last Monday. Prime
Malting Barley being scarce, sold full Is. per quarter
higher than' on this day week, but there is no im-
provement in prices of the ordinary qualities, which
still remain nearly unsaleable, except at very low
prices. New Beans and Grey Peas are 2s. per quar-
ter dearer. In Oats and other articles there is little
' or no altetation.
