THE ARMY.

Transports are collecting at Plymouth for the em-
barkation of the 11th Regiment of Light Dragoons,
now on their march for that place. They are destined
for Portugal.
The Queen's, 51st, 52d and 85th Light Infantry
are embarked at Portsmouth. To-morrow the 36th,
commanded by the gallant veteran Brigadier-General
BURN; embark. We hear much of the fine style in
which that distinguished corps. the 52d Light Infan-
try went on board ; it is said, that the time of em-
barkation did not actually exceed a quarter of an
hour. Sir Rowse Curtris himself superintended.
The Storekeeper-General has left town for Ports-
mouth. Major PIERPOINT, of the Quarter-Master-
General's department, arranges the embarkations at
Portsmouth. We hear that the Storekeeper-General
goes out to Portugal, to superintend the arrangement
of them there. Sir JAMES FELLowES is expected there
as head of the Medical department. Besides Briga-
dier-General BARNES, and FULLER, of the Guards, the
veteran General Btams, with that very able officer
Baron ALTER, go Out OR Lord WELLINGTON'S staff.
It is thought that Lord ROSSLYN'S regiment, the
9th Dragoons, will go with the 2d division of troops
for Portugal.
The fleets for Portugal will, it is expected, sail on
Wednesday.

On Saturday it was communicated at the Lord
Chamberlain's Office, and to those who have the ma-
nagement of the Chapel Royal, that it was the inten-
tion of his Royal Highness the Prince of WALES to
take the Sacrament yesterday at the Chapel Royal,
St. James's Palace. It was signified that it was his
Royal Highness's wish that it should take place in as
private a manner as possible ; it was thought, how-
ever, that some preparation was necessary, and a
number of workmen were employed to affix a crimson
velvet canopy at the left side of the altar, which was
always prepared when their Majesties were in the habit
of attending at the Chapel to receive the Sacrament.
The curtains of the canopy were richly ornament4i
with gold lace and tassels. The Royal closet an&
other parts of the Chapel were covered with crimson
velvet and gold, and various other preparations were
made for the reception ofhis Royal Highness. .
About twelve o'clock yesterday, his Royal High.
ness, accompanied'by the Eal of MOIRA, Lords Dux-
DAS and KEITH, arrived in the Palace-Yard of Saint
James's in his carriage. The guard of the day was
drawn out with the colours flying, and the drums and
fifes playing. The Prince was received with the same
honours as his Majesty would have been. His Royal
Highness proceeded up the grand staircase, and en.
tered the royal closet. His Royal Highness took his
seat in the front of the right side, when the service of
the day commenced, which was read by the Rev.
Mr. PRIDDEN, and the litany by the Rev. Mr. HAvEs.
On the Bishop of LONDON (the Dcan of the Chapel)
and the Rev. Mr. HOLMES (the Sub-Dean) entering
the altar to read the Communion Service, they turned
to the Royal Closet, and made their obeisance to the
Prince, in a similar manner as if the King had been
there. An excellent sermon was preached by the Rev.
Mr. MADLEY, from the 4th chapter of the Acts of the
Apostles, and 12th verse :
"4 Neither Is there salvation in any other : for there is none
other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must
be saved."
After which the Anthem of 00D is our Hope and i
Strength," composed by the late Dr. GREEN, was most
admirably sung by Messrs. SALE, NIELD, HAWES, and
BEALE. At the conclusion of the Anthem, Mr.
KNYVETT, his MAarzry's Organist; struck up a so-
lemn voluntary on the organ ; and at a quarter past
two o'clock his Royal Highness descended from the
Royal closet, followed by the three above Noble Lords
up the aisle of the chapel ; his Royal Highness took
his seat under the canopy, and the Earl of MOIRA,
Lords DUNDAS and KEITH, took their seats on the
opposite of the altar. The organ then ceased, and
communion service commenced.-

It was contrary to the wishes of his ROYAL Mon-
?ass that all this shew took place.
On his ROYAL Iritomurss leaving the chapel to get
into his carriage in the Palace-yard, he was received
with the same military honours as when he entered.
We hare authority to state, that the report of the
failure of Messrs. BIDERNIANN and Co. of Paris, men-
tioned in a Morning Paper, is wholly unfounded,
letters having been received from that House as late
as any in town.
