THE ARMY.

The embarkations for Lisbon are proteeding With
the greatest diligence at Portsmonth and Plymouth,
under these active Officers Sir Room Cons.'s, Sir
ROBERT CALDER, and Generals ENGLAND, and Wuz.
TIINNI. Several thousand fine fellows are embarked,
and pant to join Lord WELLINceroN's army. We are
sorry to hear that the adverse winds still continue.
General CARTWRIGHT'S fine Regiment, the Third
Heavy Dr:goons, have marched from Guildford to
Portsmouth, to embark ; and the General goes there
to see and take leave of these fine fellows.
Those excellent cavalry officers, General VAND6-
LEHR and La MERCHANT, have, with their suites, set
off to Portsmouth, to ettibark for Portugal.
Colonel Byer:, of the Guards, who gets the rank of
a Brigadier in Portugal, is at Portsmouth, command-
ing. the large body of recruits for Lord WELLINGTON'S
ttn:y—he has under him Major How, of the Came-
to..ians, and many fine young officers.
We believe that it is now' arranged that a brigade
of the cavalry Household troops be sent out to Lord
'WELLINGTON. We will rejoice to hear of their
meeting with the cavalry of BONAPARTE'S Imperial
Guards.
Only depot squadrons of the Blues, and of each of
the regiments o Horse Guards will be left at home,
and these three squadrons will, with a regiment of
heavy cavalry, have the London duty.
That very high.disciplined Regiment, the First So-
merset Militia, at present stationed in Plymouth-Dock
Barracks, and commanded by Colonel Earl PoueLTT,
has, with its accustomed zeal and alacrity, volunteered
its services to Ireland.
During the present week, the South Hants Regi-
ment if Militia, now quartered in Exeter, having
almost volunteered to a man, have been sworn in to
proceed to Ireland.
Upward of 800 of that fine Regiment, the War-
wickshire Militia, have volunteered to extend their
services to Ireland ; and, on being sworn in, received
a bounty of two guineas a man.
On 'Tuesday last passed through Oxford on their
way to join the gallant 74th (or Assaye) Regiment,
now in. Portugal, 20iJ Volunteers from the Militia,
who, from their fine military aitpezrance and disci-
pline, will, no doubt, prove a great acquisition to that
heroic corps, which .so nobly drove the French from
the heights they had momentarily gained in the me-
morable battle of Busaco. About 400 Volunteers
in ail have m.trched to join this regiment since Janu-
ary last.
The following is the Address of the Sovereign,
kccerder, Burgesses, and Freemen of the Borough
of New. Ross, Ireland :

anxious to mingle its congratulations with those of the Army, and
et try cob( .. really patriotic Community in the Realm, on your
re-acceptance at the Chief Military Command, a post of autho-
rity m these times of almost primary importance to the State,
and by your skilful exercise of which, in times past, the soldiery
of the British Empire, ever illustrious in the annals of war, has
acquired additioual, and as even its enemies own, well-earned
renown.
" 'By your judicious Institutions, under a gracious dispensation
of Divisse Paenntieez, and a wise Administration of our na-
tional resources, has that army not only become tee solitary bul-
wark of Europe against an unprovoked, unprittepled and sangui-
nary aggression in an attempt at universal domination, but, bay-
ing hid defiance to the long-threatened invesioe of its native soil,
it has also been able already to rescue from the relentless grasp
and merciless sway of the oppressor, one of the enthralled cowl-
tried, wilist it has taught the other subjugated and panic•stricken
rations, by a eke-bets example, that those.swarmint, legions
which have spr. ad devastation, ruin and dismay over the largest
and fairest vortical of the c.vibzed world. are, sth..ti eticournertil
with eintrage, concord and disci( one, certainly Not" Invincible."
" l'rem ti e example and al., of such an Al my, thus alli ll sated
t i fresh achievements and insi-iied with new confidence, the en-
slaved Continent may now hope for eventual deliverance from its
iron b Indage, dit htlit thi. cat ly nteaotre of the Prince Regent's
