NAVAL IN77?LLICENCE.

The arrangement which so long since was announ-
ced to tlse Readers of the STAR is now carried into
effect—the venerable !arl of HARCOURT is appointed
Governor of Portsmouth ; and, to the satisfaction of
the Royal Military College, and of the Army at large,
that scientific and able Officer, General ALEXANDER
Hoer., who was wounded so severely in the service,
is appointed to succeed Lord Haecoonr. From the
appointment of General Hoes to the Government of
the College, and some other changes which we hear
are meditated, the most beneficial consequences may
be looked for, and that future Generals will issue
from this national school 'who will emulate those of
France and other countries. The building of the
new Military College, on a splendid scale, is carry-
ing en, near Blackwater, with the utmost expedition.
In order to expedite the building, Colonel KINGS-
COTE'S regiment of Militia are encamped in the neigh-
bourhood, and are employed in working at the build-
ings and grounds.
We are glad to see that the Militia Interchange
Bill is heartily carried into execution already. Yes-
terday Lord CRANLBT'S regiment, the Surrey Militia,

giment are embarking at the same place, and embar-
kations at other ports are likewise going on ; only
10,000 of those who first volunteered will be allowed
to go at present.
The whole of General CARTWRIGHT'S fine regi-
ment, the 3d Dragoons, have embarked at Portsmouth

Sir EDWARD BULLLER, who commands ie the absence
of Admiral Sir Roselle. CALDER, was indefatigable
in his exertions to expedite the sailing of the fleet the
moment the wind became fair ; he went in his boat
on board every ship, and did not leave them till the
whole got under weigh, although it was past mid-
night before this could be accomplished.

The article copied by us yesterday, from an Ame-
rican Journal, as being a French composition, had so
much tile appearance of speaking the sentiments of
the Cabinet of St. Cloud, that we were at first in-
clined to think it genuine ; we now find, however,
that, in the highest quarters, its authenticity is doubt-
ed, and'it is even said, that the name of the author
is known in this country.—He is at present resident
in America.

Letters have been received from Caraccas, dated
as late as the '24.1 June, in which it is stated, " That
the revolution proceeded with every prospect of suc-
cess. in that settlement ; that the adjacent provinces
were firmly. united in, the
,some cause—hat in all
classes the utmost enthusiasm prevailed in its support,
and that the wise measures of the established Go-
vernment had attracted confidence, invited respect,
gad enforced obedience.".
