THE ARMY•

G..

W may at length venture to offer ovrteitsfy
grAtulations to that honourable and deserving.bady
1..; area. tile Officers of the British Army; upon an
,cproi.thiti;; and most extensive Brevet. The next
iotrver.try of the birth of our revered KING (Rh
e.ty r f Jun:) will, we nre assured, be celebrated
throne vnit the Army, by that long talked of, anx'-
ously expected, and well-merited measure. So many
Cl:ers have dropped off since the last general Bre-
vo, we can (after a most laboured calculation) as-
rtre th::. Readers, with arithmetical precision, that
I;,e Approaching measure will not add one farthing
g 3 the to. duns of the people. We have seen a scale
..pproaching Brevet, and the event will, vre
r::!t, prove the following anticipation of that •step

pretty etttect, viz.:
All I.invetiaAt.Generals, to

lIIC~U49t.

All 111aj•rr-G nosh, to Lord HOWARD, inclusive.
Ail Cok.n,li, to Sir A. F. 13411NA1111, inclusive.
All Litutenaw-Colonels, to Lleoteuant-Colooel
York L 1.1. inrisilvo.

Hovoostem.

Meg;pug,

A:I Majirs, w Major Oot t..Wt a, 4th Dragoon Guards, inclusive.
And clay Captain, the date of whose Company is on, at auto.
cadent to the 4th June, 1807•

Af•er this step, a most extensive reduction will,
we believe, take place throughout the British Army;
bet we can assure our Military Readers, that no Re.
giment in the Line (Infantry) is to consift pCless
than ten Captains : the intended reductioj are to in
of entire Regiments ; and below the B:/ik AIR .041
tribe struck off.
:...
In oar Dragoon Establishment, the Nat will be
the junior regiment retained.
Ad the Black, or Native Corps, an, eventually,
to be removed from the. West Indies, to oiben of
ear Foreign Possessions.
