THE ARMY.

The Ist Regiment of Foot Guards appeared yes-
terday, for the first time, in their new uniform which
we described a few days since. The restoration of
skirts to the coat, of moderate length, is a great im-
provement, and the dress on the whole is far more
becoming than that which, of late years, we have
been accustomed to witness. The alteration will,
we suppose, become general throughout the Army.
A General Order from the Horse Guards announces
the Kum's pleasure, that the Marines, when serving
with troops of the line, shall take rank after the 49th

'Regiment. The reason is, that when the Marines
were first raised, the Regiments of the line amounted
only to 49.
No time is fixed for the calling out of the Militia
of Yorkshire, to be trained and exercised, although in
furtherance of that intention, a return has been re-
quired by the LORD LIRUTENANT, of the men lately
balloted and sworn in each Regiment, and a Gene-
ral Meeting of the Lieutenancy is to be held on the
Bth of May, to carry the measure into execution:
Last week the depots of the following Regiments
(which are stationed at St. Helena, the Cape, and
in India) arrived at Portsmouth, and embarked for
Albany Barracks, at Newport, viz.-14th, 16th,
20th, 30th, 38th, 45th, 46th, 47th, 48th, 53d, 54th,
56th, 59th, 65th, 66th, 67th, 69th, 82d, 83d, 87th,
89th. The depots of the 7th and 24th Regiments
passed through on Tuesday. There are now sixty
regiments' depots stationed at Albany.
It is said that the 10th Hussars at Piershill, and
the 7th at Hamilton, are to march in a week or two
for London. They are to be relieved by the 9th and
16th Lancers.

Friday se'nnight, the 21st Dragoons, commanded
by Lieutenant- Colonel BAITS, disembarked at Graves-
end, from India, where they have been stationed for
some years, and arrived at Chatham ; they w ill be
di banded on the 24th inst.
Vie remainder of the artillery, ammunition, and
stores, formerly belonging to the fort of Berwick,
now completely dismantled, has lately arrived in
safety at Leith fort. The process of dismantling
began at the commencement of the year. About 40
pieces of cannon, many of them cast on the old mo-
del, are laid up in the arsenal, at Leith fort. A com-
pany of Veterans is at present doing duty in the town
of Berwick.

One troop of Yeomanry Cavalry, and an Armed
Association of Infantry, are to be raised for the pro-
tection of Halifax.

Colonel MONCRINT, Royal Marine Forces, has
taken the command of Portsmouth Garrison. Ma-
jor-General Sir G-Cooc, K.C.B. Lieutenant-Gover-
nor, set off for Clifton on Monday.
A division of the 66th Foot, on the route from
Weedon Barracks to Newcastle-upon-Tyne, marched
through Uppingham on Tuesday last, the 18th inst.
The Regiment is under orders to proceed to the place
of its destination by forced marches.
