THE ARMY.

Tuesday evening the ESPIEGLE sloop sailed from
froth Plymouth, with the Thetis and Eliza transports
under convoy, having twcrcompanies of artillery on
board, for Lisbon.

An Officer belonging to the 2d Battalion of the
35th Regiment assures us, that not a man of that
regiment has been confined with the %Vakheren fever
for the last four months.

The report that the 18th Hussars had received or-
ders to embark for foreign service is, we understand,
totally without foundation ; nor is there at this mo-
ment any probability of such an event taking place.
On Saturday a company of the Royal Marines ar-
rived at Chatham, from Woolwich, to join the bat-
talion which is now forming at the Royal Marine
Barracks at that place. The battalion, including cne
company of Royal Marine Artillery, is to be employed
on some secret expedition under the command of
Majors WILLIAMS and (ABERNETME.

The Dolphin store-ship, which arrived at Ply-
mouth on Monday, from Cadiz and Corunna, brought
home the Swiss battalion that lately surrendered at
Puebla de Sanabria, together with their officers.—
They had been upwards of two years in the French
service.

Monday night, as the barrack guard at Frankfort
barracks, Plymouth, were relieving the sentinels on
duty, one of them was found asleep on his post,, and
on one of the reliefs attempting to awake him, .he
started up and run his bayonet through the otle's
breast. He is not expected to recover.
Qn Friday last, two squadrons of that highli dis-
ciplined anti distinguished regiment, the 7th Dragoon
Guards, had a brilliant Field-day at Birmingham.—
The precision, and at the same time the extraordinary
rapidity with which they performed the different ma-
noeuvres, reflects the highest credit on that very old
and deserving Officer, Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel
LATHAM. A large concourse of fashionables were
present, and were much gratified with the fine ap-
pearance both of ;nen and horses. This regiment is
shortly expected at Portsmouth, in order to embark
for Portugal, where the service of so distinguished a
corps cannot fail to prove an acquisition to the army,

The Duke Of CUMBERLAND'S Sharp Shooters on
Tuesday had a field-day, and were inspected by Col.
hotttorsow in Hyde Park. The Colonel expressed li
his satisfaction at the able manner in which they went
through the manoeuvres adapted to the service of
troops intended for advanced and piquet service.
Died, at Plymouth Citadel, aged 68, universally
esteemed and respected, Captain BAILEY, Adjutant
and Paymaster of the North Devon Militia : he car-
ried the colours of the late Marquis Cornwallis's Re-1
giment, the 33d, at the celebrated battle of Minden,
on the Ist of August, 17.59, being then only 17.
Sunday se'nnight, at 3 A. M. during a violent gale
from N. E. a brig of about 90 tons burthen, WILLIAM
rawer master, pirtly laden with coals, bound from
Saltdbats to Dublin, was driven on shore in Bally-
halbert Bay, in the district of Donaghadee. There
were on board the brig, two Officers, and about 60
privates of the Royal Artillery, on their way from-
Glasgow to Dublin. Mr. LEMON and Mr. MILLER,
coast-officers of Ballyhalbert, attended on the spot,
and rendered much aid in procuring boats, &c. to ex-
pedite the disembarkation of the troops, &c. who will
proceed by land to Dublin. The brig fortunately re.
ceived no damage, as she was expected to get out by
the next morning's tide, •
A tradesman-of Cirencester, who, by his inflam-
, matory expressions and demeanour, attempted to ex-
cite the soldiers, quartered in that city, to mutiny and
rebellion, has, by making a public acknowledgment
,of his crime, both in the newspapers, and by reading
it himself at the head of the regiment, escaped prose-
'anion and the punishment of death.
