THE ARMY.

Yesterday, the WoLviuties man of war, having
under convoy that fine regiment the .sth Dragoon'
Guards, commanded by the Hon. Lieut.-Colonel
PONSONBY I strong detachments for the 79th, or Ca-
meronian Highlanders ; the 92d, or Gordon High-
landers; and many other regiments of Lord WELLING.
roN's army, sailed from Spithead with a fine breeze.
We understand that another fleet will speedily be
dispatched for the same quarter : by it Lord Paurr's
regiment, the 7th Hussars, and not the 7th Dragoon
Guards, as stated in a former STAR, will proceed.
The 7th Dragoon Guards does not go soon : it will
proceed with the Brigade of Household Cavalry, and
!with the Inniskillings, and scotch Greys.
Lord EUSTON, an Officer in the 7th Light Dra-
goons, sailed with the sth Dragoon Guards, to join
Lord WELLINGTON'S army.
A Staff, and strong bodies of Artillery, are pro.
ceeding to America: this is necessary as a precau-
tion, as well as making Bermuda a respectable sta-
tion, in the event of a rupture with America.
That very able officer, Sir JOHN SHERBROOKE, who
so much distinguished himself in Portugal as second
in command to Lord WELLINGTON, will soon, with a
large suite and staff, embark for Halifax.
A large body of sick and wounded officers and
soldiers has just arrived from Portugal under the care
of Dr. BERaMINSTER.

It is that able cavalry officer, Lord Racier, whose
presence is so anxiously looked for to command the
great force of cavalry no in Portugal. We regret
to hear that recently some punctilios about relative
rank should deprive the army there of a leader that
they are so anxious to follow, and to defeat the hopes
of the best military characters in that quarter.
An order has been sent to Plymouth for the East
Kent Militia, now doing garrison duty at Pendennis
Castle, Falmouth, to embark immediately for Ire-
land, to which country they had previously volun-
teered their services.

Two brigades of heavy cavalry, and the Hussar
'brigade, are to be immediately sent out to Lord WEL-
LINGTON. The heavy brigade to consist of the Life
and Horse Guards, and another of the Inniskilling
Dragoons, and 7th Dragoon Guards.
In addition to the fourteen regiments of British
militia formerlyordered for Ireland, the following have
been required, by an urgent order of the Qu after-master-
General, to prepare for immediate embarkation, viz.
Westminster, to embark at Liverpool ; Northampton,
Portsmouth ; East Kent, Falmouth ; North Hants,
Bristol ; Pembroke, ditto ; Warwick, Portsmouth ;
Rutland, Dover ; East Norfolk, Ramsgate ; Hertford,
Harwich ; Dumfries, ditto ; Lanark, Ardrossan.

The aggregate number of these additional corps is
236 Officers, and 7,074 rank and file.

Government, in order to augment the disposable
force of the country, have issued beating orders to the
Adjutants of the Local Militia, and authorised them
to recruit men, either for general service, or for the
artillery of the East India Company.

The sth (or Princess Charlotte of Wales's) Dra-
goon Guards, are on board transports at Spithead,
and only await the remount of the 14th Light Dra-
goons, which arrived on Saturday. The convoy,
therefore, is now ready for sea, and will, we suppose,
sail with the first fair wind. A second convoy is pre-
paring to receive detachments from all the remaining
regiments now in Portugal, which are all to arrive by
the 27th, and will sail immediately afterwards.
Canterbury will, we hear, be the grand depot for
all the detachments of Heavy Dragoon Regiments
now abroad ; and Weymouth and Dorchester for the
Light. The latter will, it is said, be commanded by
Major-General FANE, who has returned from Portu-
gal on account of ill health.
Tuesday, all the French prisoners of war in Edin-
burgh Castle, were marched from thence, under a pro-
per escort, for the prison depot at Greenlaw.
Thursday, the Argyleshire militia, commanded by
Lord JOHN CAMPBELL, were reviewed on Burntsfield
Links, near Edinburgh, by Lieutenant-General the
Earl of Rossnlit.

The East York militia, stationed at Queensberry
House in Edinburgh, have, with a few exceptions, ex-
tended their services to Ireland.

Highness the Duke of YORK, will be given a Grand
