It is now ascertained, that Chatham Barracks are
established as the depot for the whole of the Regi-
ments of Infantry on Foreign Service ; it is expected
that, in the course of a few weeks, the Staffs of such
Regiments will bring an addition to their depot of
MO men or upwards—the first division of which,
consisting tif the Staffs of the 17th, 22d, and 53d
Regiments, from Chelmsford, marched into the same
this day, and will be followed by other detachments
to-morrow and succeeding days.

This morning we were favoured with the sight of
a letter from Quebec, dated the 9th ultimo, received
by the owners of the ship Lord Sommers. In contra-
diction to the reports circulated respecting the frost
having set in, the letter concludes in the following
words—,, there shall be no time lost in getting away
before the frost sets in, having a fair wind for that
purpose."
A Meeting has been appointed on Tuesday next,
at the Mansion House, for the purpose of providing a
Fund for the Relief of thi aggravated Distress pre-
vailing, in Spitalfields and the neighbouring districts.
The Requisition for this Meeting is signed by some
as respectable and honourable men as any in or near
the City of London. We sincerely hope and trust
that it will be attended in a manner equally gratifying
to their wishes and the cause of humanity.—Might
not' Ministers perform a very meritorious work, and
a real public service by recommending to the PRINCE
REGENT to make some grants from the Droits of Ad-
miralty for the relief of the present prevailing distress ?

tresses ptisently felt in this country, when resolutions
similar to those passed at Glasgow, Paisley, &c. were
unanimously agreed to.

• BRIGHTON, NOVEMBER W.
This evening the Ann packet, Captain Nem%
arrived from Dieppe, with 14 passengers, after a
voyage of seven hours. The Thomas packet ha I
safely arrived in Dieppe harbour horn Dover, with
her passengers, for whose safety much anxiety has
prevailed. It is remarkable thar during the late heavy
gales, upward of 100 fishing boats from Dieppe were
out at. sea, and the whole returned, with the exception
of the loss of only one boat, which upset. and twelve
mint perished. If is deserving of particular notice,
inasmuch, that those persons who have seen the mi-
serablivappearance of the French fishing vessels, will
feel surprised how they could withstand a tempest u.
lons gale. The Ann and Thomas collier brig, which
run ashore on Sunday last, was safely got off this
morhing, and she proceeded on her voyage to Sun
Berland, besides two other brigs, (names unknown)
which came ashore during the late gales, and the
got off without material damage.
