H. To RR iss, Lieut. Col. and Mil. Sec.
With a view to be prepared against any adverse
.pent, as well as to enable Lord WELLINGTON to
Maintain his positions in Portugal, large reinforce-
ments are to be sent out immediately—among the
regiments destined for this service are the 71st and
92d Highlanders, at present at Deal and Canterbury,
who were on Monday ordered to hold themselves
in readiness for embarkation, as soon as the troop-
ships destined to receive them are arrived in the
Downs.

Orders were on Sunday received in Chatham dock,
yard to expedite the fitting of the Romulus and Agin.
court, two of the ships appropriated for the above
purpose, as well as to urge the equipment of all the
line-of-battle ships previously directed to be got ready.
A Medical Staff for an army of 10,000 men, is to
assemble immediately at Portsmouth. They are in-
tended as a reinforcement for Lord WELLINGTON.—
This reinforcement will be composed of detachments
from this country, from Cadiz, and from Halifax.
The 79th and 94th regiments are on their passage
from Cadiz for Lisbon ; two more regiments will fol-
low • and a regiment is expected from North America.
Major NAPIER, who commanded the 50th Regi-
ment at Corunna, when it charged so gallantly and
drove the French from the village, is now serving
with Lord WELLINGTON'S army as a volunteer, and
had two horses wounded under him in the action on
the banks of the Coa.
Several of the Officers who were badly wounded
in the action of the 24th July, are, we hear, to come
to England, and Officers to go out from their secduci
battalions to supply their places until they are fit for
duty again, as Lord WELLINGTON wishes to have his
corps fully officered. The sickly season is coming
on very fast ; some invalids must be expected. We
are happy to state, from the best authority, that many
of those Officers who were slightly wounded have re-
turned to their duty.
Monday morning, 150 recruits marched from the
Depot at Maidstone, for Portsmouth, from whence
they are to embark for Sicily, in order to join the
20th Light Dragoons there.
Ballotted men, under the Militia Completion Act,
not enrolled by themselves or substitutes before the
Ist of the present month, will be entitled to half the
current price of substitutes, but not to the RIO 10s.
allowed before the Ist of September. The Act does
not make any provision for extending the Govern-
ment allowance of RIO 10s. beyond the Ist instant.
An answer to this effect has been received from the,
War Office, in reply to an inquiry on that subject.
The sentence of the General Court• Martial lately
held at the Royal Hospital at Chelsea, for the trial
of Captain William Mason, Adjutant of the 2d regi-
ment of Tower Hamlets Militia, on five charges pre.
ferred against hi m by private Richard Throp,of thesaid
regiment, was yesterday promulgated to the officers of
that corps at Deptford, by Major-General TURNER,
commanding the London brigade. Captain Mason
was fully acquitted of the lst,2d, and 3d charges, and
partially so of the 4th and sth ; but the Court di-
rected him to be reprimanded for having struck Ser-
jeant Wood and private William Wright, which re-
primand was accordingly given by the Major-General,
whose urbanity of manners was such, as effectually
relieved Captain Mason's mind from the acuteness of
feeling he could not fail to experience in hiving, for
the first time. during a service of 25 years, incurred
the censure of his superiors.
Wednesday last was committed to Galway Gaol,
John Regan, a private belonging to a party of the
51st regimentkon the recruiting service there, charged
with having, on the preceding night, wantonly stabbed
Edmun4 Lee, an inhabitant of that town, with a
bayonet.

A few evenings since a fellow went into a chemist's
shop, in New-street, Covent-garden, and in the most
daring manner took up a medicine chest, worth be-
tween six and seven guineas, and ran oft with it ;
there was only a female in the slink), who was struck
with so much terror, that she had not power to give
an alarm till it was too late.
• Smut-rum—LA. 4 at the LifFord assizes. Ireland,
a cause was tried, in which Edward Dogherty, a far-
' mer, in the county of Donegal, was plaintiff, and
Patrick Connoll, an assistant•surgeon in the Dublin
City Militia, was defendant ; the action was to recover
damages for the loss of the services of his tep-daughter
who was some time ago seduced by thelaintiff, to
whom she bore a child the damages were laid at
£5OO. The case was much aggravated on the part
of the defendant, by it appearing that he refused to
make any provision for the child, although frequently
requested to do so. The Jury, in a few minutes, re-
turned a verdict for the.plaintilf £lOO, and 6J. costs.
