TILE ARMY.

We thought it our duty to the Army in genetii,
and particularly to a most respectable Regiment, to.
iinvestigate' e truth of the statement published in the
Oxford Paper, respecting the miirderof. Mr. Loticruar.
We tan assure our Readers, that the statement, so fur 1
as respects the perpetrators of the crime, is perfectly
unfounded. We are s-irry to add, tbat though the
County as well as the Town Magistrates in Reading
have been indefatigable in their ezerticins, they have
hitherto discovered no the:murderers. We
s •trusrthat they will not escape,..

-the only part in the Othrd artictethat is probable,
is the supposition th.it the tinfortiin4te sufferer was
•mistaken for the Postman, 'who rode on a similar
horse, and who was supposed to bring a great quan-
tity of old Silver to change fur new at the Reading
Banks.

Colonel Sir ALEXANDER Brivcr is appointed Com-
manding Royal Engineer of Portsmouth and the
whole of the Senih•Wcst District, vacant by the
death of Colonel kINWICK.

•The last reduction of the First Lieutenants of
Royal Mai ines to half-pay, ends with (incloding)
Lieutenant S. J. PAYNE ; and Officers are appointed
to succeed all such First Lieutenants serving in ships
who are within the number placed on half-pay.
From no reduction having been made of the second
Lieutenant-Colonels• and Majors of ltegimerts, it is
still expected that a Brevet will take place to mike
'room for them. ' The pay and allowances of a Li:u-
tenant•Colonel and a Maki., serving abroad, is nearly
as follows: LlllO T.-COLONILL. 141.1:011.

Equal to the saving on ten Lieutenants that are now
thrown on the half-pay from regiments. More than
one Field-Officer with a regiment is seldom wanted.
No reduction has yet reached the Departments at
:the Horse-Guards : there is stilt one Adjutant Ge-
neral, and one Deputy-Adjutant-General; a Qum.-
ter.Master-General, and a Deputy-Quarter-Master-
General; with four or five Assistants, or Deputy-
Assistants, to each of these Departments. The same
at the Headquarters in Dublin, with as many Clerks.

The Expedition under Major PFDDIZ to explore
the interior of Africa, had not proceeded up the
Gambia so late as the 15th Noevmber. The prepa-
rations fer its setting out Were nearly completed. Se.
veral light American vessels had been hared to con-
vey the Major and his party, with their stores, &c. as
far as the river might be found navigable.
On the llth instant; died at Chelsea, of the wounds
he received in the capture of Aire, in France, on the
'rd of March, 1814, Capt. VitEOM ROBEUT LOVSTT,
ate of the'soth Regiment. His unparalleled suffer-
ings forthree years, and latterly, the dread:ul state'
