By a mistake of our printer, the name of Doctor
Gnus, Inspector of Hospitals, an arrival from Sicily,
was inserted, instead of Doctor GRIEVE, Deputy In-
spector of Hospitals, from Sicily, in the STAR of
Friday. *ln the same number, the Ist battalion of
the 411 Regiment was mentioned, as one of those in
the division of the hero of Barossa, instead of the 2d
battalion. Our Readers know, that the Ist battalion
of this renowned corps is at Lewes, complete, and in
the most perfect order ford any service. The 2d bat-
talion being reduced to a slitzletos, is expected home
with the 31st, 2,t11, and 97thregiments from Portugal.
The Ist battalion 92d, or Gordon Highlanders,
having completely recovered from the effects of the
Walcheren fever, and having recruited their full
strength, are ready, and expecting foreign service.—
They hope to form a Highland Brigade with the Ist
battalion of Lord HUNTLEY'S regiment, the old 42d.
The 2d battalion 25th, or Edinburgh regiment,

mon, and have every appearance ef regular disciplined
troops. The vessels that brought over these men, had,
a most dangerous and tempestuous passage, and three
of them were twice near foundering.

TATE CARACCAS.

In another part of our Paper we have given some
interesting documents, respecting the progress of the
I Revolution in the Caraccas. They contain an ac-
count of the reduction of the city of Valencia.
The EURYDICE, which arrived at Portsmouth on
Thursday, from Halifax, brings intelligence that se-
veral of the ships have suffered severely from a •io-
lent gale. The Gurunizn, Emus, and SPARTAN
suffered most, having sprung their masts and yards,

EXTRACT OF A LETTZR FROM MALTA, DATED
SEPTEMBER 29.

" We are all in a state of bustle and alarm at this
place. The artillery and other regular troops are or-
dered to Messina—the former have already embarked,
and the latter are preparing to follow—leaving the
garrison of this island to a tew marines, invalids, and
a native force, We have, however, nothing to fear,
while we have a single wooden castle floating_ so
near us. All our accounts from Sicily convince us
that affairs are there drawing to a crisis, and we look
to every arrival from thence to br;ng us an account
of an important revolution in that island."

LETTER FROM AN OFFICER IN THE LIGHT DRAGOONS.

DATED LISBON, OCTOBER 20.
44 I am here commissioned to convey a party of con-
valescents to the army. Our hospitals, which were a
fortnight ago extremely full. are now fast discharging
the sick. According sto the last medical returns 1
have seen, there are not more than 13,500 sick, in-
stead of between 18 and 19,000, which there. were.
The disorder was net very fatal, and consequently
carried off only a few. Our army is gone into canton-
ments, and amounts in British force to about 35,000.
The following are the positions :.

"The French force at Salamanca is above 80,000
men. My opinion is, that they will go Southward
again in December, and, that Elvas and Badajos will
be again the scenes of operation. We are every day
looking far further reinforcements. from Sicily, as the
regiment that has arrived givei us reason to think that
they will be folio .ved. by others.
" Accounts just receive.i from the army state that
the French have pressed upon Abadia, and that he has
retired. The enemy are expecting rainforcoMents."
