THE ARMY

The Mowing Garrison Order was boned at Woobelch on the
11th inst.:—
The Commandant has great pleasure in communicating to the
Regiment, a letter this day received from Lord E. Somerset, K.
C. a, Lieut.-Gen. of the Ordnance.
Ordnance-011ie. 15th Oct. 1829.
So—Having completed the Half-yearly Inspection of the Royal
Artillery, I am desirous of taking the earliest opportunity of de-
claring my approbation of the good order and general appearance
of the troops, as well as the correctness and precision with which
the field movements were executed.
I was much pleased with the attention that has been bestowed
on the exercise and instruction of the Repository, and I think it
due to the officer in command of the field batteries, to notice the
pains that have hero taken to perfect the detachments belonging to
them in that part of their duty.
The condition and efficiency of the bones of the Horse Artillery
are highly creditable; and the riding estabthhment appears to be
conducted in a proper manner.
I have every reason to approve of the system of interior disci-
pline established in the corps, the cleanliness of the barrack-rooms,
and the regularity with which the men's accounts appear to be
kept.
And I beg further to express my satisfaction at the good ar.
ratigement and management of the medical department, requesting
you will be pleased to communicate vie above to the Regiment.
(Signed) R. V.. 11. SOMERSET,
Lieutenant General.

An order was issued at Vera Cruz, by the Gefe Interino
of the canton of Vera Cruz, commanding all Spaniards resi-
dent in towns and villages to retire 25 leagues into the
interior. In the extraordinary Session of the Chambers
in the city of Mexico, Pedro Maria Anaya was elected
President of the Chamber of Deputies, and Valentia
Ferias, President of the Senate. The right of the Eng-
lish Vice-Consul to use a telegraph which he had in his
house, in order to communicate with vessels of his nation
which might arrive in sight of the port, was discussed at
some length ; and, under the present circumstances of
the country, was denied.

Bands of malefactors, calling themselves Spaniards,
and belonging to the party of the union, have lately shown
themselves in the mountains of the Eastern Pyrenees,
but their numbers are not considerable. An attack was
made upon one of these bands in the arrondissement of
Cenet, and several individuals were taken prisoners by
the troops sent in pursuit of them. Another band, also
connected with the first one, fell into the hands of u Spa-
nish outpost at Alberes on the 11th inst. and several in-
dividuals were conducted to Figueiras. A wounded Spa-
niard, one of the rebels, was found in the mountains, and
a Frenchman, who served as a guide to this band, was
shot through by a ball.

The Russian Ambassador at the Netherlands was
about to set out for Italy, when he received fresh
orders from St. Petersburg, enjoining him to remain
at his .post. Has this circumstance any connexion
with the events which are passing in the East, and which
seem more than ever to menace the repose of Europe ?
It is strongly suspected.—Le Belge.
Extract of a letter from New Orleans, Aug. 22 :
" Our city is again a prey to the yellow fever : the
number of deaths daily augment. Yesterday they were
25 to 30. For more than six months we have bad con-
tinual rains, which has contributed to extend the fatal
malady. A.friend, who visited the Spanish camp yes-
terday, reports that the troops enjoy good health ; and
are waiting an answer from the Captain-General of
Cebu. They must stay here until they receive trans-
ports from the Havanna.'
The Colombia packet ship, from New York, has ar-
rived at Portsmouth, in 21 days ; left Ist October; but
the Papers haye not yet come to hand.
Letters from Servia, lst October, state that the Greek
and Hebrew'houses are purchasing ducats for account, of
the Turkish Government, to pay the war contribution.
The information given by ourcontemporaries of an Aus-
trian Loan being contracted for is not a novelty. We an-
nounced this event as far back as six weeks ago ; when
we stated, that an Austrian Loan of four per cent. had
been contracted for by the house of Rothschild, " which
was not to be made public until a peace took place be-
tween the Russians and the Turks.' _

The French Papers mention, that a M. Tenequier, a
respectable tradesman of Flaquolle, in the department du
Var, refused his consent to his daughter's marriage last
month with a young man, every other way unexception-
able, because the intended bridegroom store spectacles !
lie even went so far as to apply to the constituted
authorities to prohibit the' match on this very substantial
ground ; but as upon investigation all the formalities pre-
scribed by law had been complied with, his Worship the
Mayor declined interfering, and poor M. Tenequier,
much to his annoyance, is thus saddled with a short-
sighted son-in-law. .
A MODERN EXQUISITE.:--A creature, something
between the human species and a man-milliner--a
seven-month child of fashion—one who has been left an
orphan by manliness and taste, and who no longer re-
members his lost parents !
