During the last week, a continual soccession of
men from the Army in France, has arrived at the
Invalid Depot, at Chatham, amounting to neatly
1500 men. There are at this time at the Invalid
Depot, at Chatham, upwards of 2000 men of the
above description.
A great number of Half•pay Officers continue to
embark Irons France, both for the United States of
America and for the Spanish Colonies, to serve in
the ranks of the Insurgents. About 40 of these offi-
cers are to set out in a short time.

The PRINCE REGENT is expected in town on
Monday.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL is also expected in town
from Bath on Monday.
The late visit of the LORD CHANCELLOR to Brigh-
ton has given rise to a tumour that a new batch of
Peers is in contemplatioo, and that his Lordship's
visit to the PRINCE REGENT was to learn his Royal
Highness's pleasure.
The report is, that four, if not five Noble Peers
have the promise of Dukedoms, viz. the Marquisses
of WINCHESTER, BUCKINGHAM, STAFFORD, CORN-
WALLIS, and HERTFORD. Ot these the Marquisses of
BUCKINGHAM and Coauwauts are old promises of
his bla.resnr. To these there are to be anew crea-
tion of Peers, together with a lict of Baronets.
The coincidence is not a little singular, that one
of the two Noblemen, who, confident report states,
ere soon to be elevated to the Ducal rank, tetnpora-
rily auurned, some years since, the identical title which
the other is said to desire for his Dukedom. When
the late Marquis of Hinurrono was first elevated to
that title, the present Marquis, who had previously
been Viscount BEAUCHAMP, assumed the title of--
,4 Earl of CLEVELAND;' and while on a diplomatic
mission-to the Court of Russia. at an early period of
the revolutionary war, actually signed some dis-
patches under that appellation. A caveat. however.
against this assumption, and a proper representation
to the higher powers, was made on the part of Lord
Danutroron, and, in consequence, the title of Earl
of CLEVELAND was relinquished, and that of YAR-
MOUTH substituted by the noble assumer. Now, this
very title is said to have been desired by the Marquis
of STAFFORD for his reported Dukedom ; but that, in
consequence of representations made by Lord DAR-
unarms, this second Nobleman has given up all idea
Of the title for himself. The title of the Duke of
CLEVELAND has been regarded as in a sort of abeY-
Race, and was once held with that of SouTnaurrow,
by one of the descendants of the Royal CMARLIS, by
BARBARA, Duchess of CLeveLa NO. It is not thought
likely, that the Marquis of Hamono will take Sat.
Moen as the title of-his Dukedom, though there is no
,inconsistency in it, being originally and still the
name of a The family name of 6' &emus"
is a corruption of Sales Mawr, a town of some note in
Normandy. whence the family originally came. It
is probable that Hertford will be created a Dukedom,
in favour of the present noble and worthy Marquis.
The Right Hon. Joins Isi'MAIION is at Chelten-
ham, fur the reestablishment of his health.

Earl Sr. GIIRMAISS will give a grand entertain-
ment to the Cabinet Ministers and a numeroui party
on the 260 inst. at his house in St. Jamek's•square.
The Recommit will, un Tuesday nest, make his
Report to the Panics REGENT of the convicts under
sentence of Death in New/gate, previous to the com-
mencement of the Oldliatey Sessions, which begins
on Wednesday.
The Committee of the House of Commons, for in-
vestigating the state of the Poor Laws, have finally
adopted a Resolution respecting Parish Settlements:
It is resolved to confine it to a three yenis residence,
and to pay rates and meet for one year in that term,
before an individual can become a parishioner. The
parish where a person is been, in the event of obtaie-
rag no ether settlement,. will regulate the removal, of
a pauper. -
Serious symptoms of iusubordination and outrage

the County of Tipperary t within these few days se-
veral houses have bees maliciously consumed in the
