The following letter has been received by the Lord
Lieutenant of the County of Essex, from the Right
Hon. Lord Viscount Stnmoutit, one of his Majesty's
Principal Secretaries of State :
a Whitehall, April 19, 021.
" Dols Loan—l have the honour to recommend to your Lord-
ship:* consideration, the expediency of so arranging the period
of training the Militia of your Lordship's County, that it may
not terminate on any Sunday, as considerable expense will
thereby be avoided. I have the honour to be, my Lord, your
Lordship's most obedient humble servant,
" SI DMOUTIL"

By the last Mutiny Act, dated the 24th of March,
it is enacted that any Court Martial, before which
any Non-commissioned Officer or soldier shall be
tried and convicted of desertion, may direct, if it shall
think fit, in addition to any other punishment such
Court may award for such deserter, that such de-
serter be marked on the left side, two inches below
the armpit, with the letter D, such letter not to be
less than half an inch long, and to be marked upon
the skin with some ink, or gunpowder, or other pre-
paration, so as to be visible and conspicuous, and not
liable to be obliterated.
We regret stating that the yellow fever, in its most
malignant form, has prevailed amongst the troops
and Military Departments composing the Garrison of
Barbadoes, for more than three months, and had not
entirely ceased when our Report, dated the 12th
January last, was made.
The prompt measures, however, recommended and
adopted, at the instance of Mr. GREEN, the Inspector's
of Hospitals, were likely to arrest the further pro-
gress of the disease in the 21st, or Royal Scotch Fu-
sileers, the last corps infected with the malady, and
which measures had successfully terminated this
destructive pestilence in the Royal Artillery, Royal
'Sappers and Miners, Quarter, Barrack, and Store,
Departments, where it first commenced it sravages.
Every case of yellow fever, amongst the troops
and Military Departments, as far as circumstances,
would admit, was removed to the Naval Hospital,
which was converted into an Establishment of rigid
Quarantine, and where no other order of disease
whatever was admitted.

The medical duties of the Establishment, and the
attendance of the sick, were confided to Staff• Sur-
geon DOUGHTY, assisted by Mr. PALMIII4 Assistant-
Surgeon to the Forces.
Sir JAMES Ficia,owss has witnessed the disease on
so many occasions, during an extended service of
thirty-three years and upwards, that he is enabled at
once to practically appreciate the merits of his Officers, I
and discriminate their conduct on occasions the mokt
arduous, unbiassed by opinion or prejudice, and which
the following extracts from the Department Orders,
issued on the occasion, will best testify:

EXTRA CT OF MEDICAL DEPARTMENT ORDERS.
(COPY) &season, Jas. 2, 1821.

diness to embark for the undermentioned gado= by the lint

BASSIADOIS, JAN. 6, 1821.
Staff-Sorgeon Dotransw being intended for another woke,
will give over the charge of such convalescents and Patients as
are at present under Ms care, to Mr. Parana, Assistant Staff-
dorgean. In the event of further admissions into the Naval
Hospital of cuss Of Fever, Mr. NUM will, an every occasion,
cane& with Dr. Aavnua on the subject.
The humane and zealous manner in which both Mr. Donown
and Mr. Parana have performed the anxious duties of that
Hospital, under many disadvantages, for upwards of three
moths continuance of that fatal epidemic, Yellow Fever (in this
otherwise healthy Garrison), s the fullest and most un.approbadon : and the Inspector of Hospitals requests
eird eth will accept his most sincere thanks on this occasion,
and which be assures them shall be represented to the Army
Medical Board in that favourable light which such conduct
deserves.

Mr. Douourr vrill be pleased to cease further medical duty
in Barbadoes preparatory to his embarking for St. Vincent's,
that is, to perform fifteen days of observation without entering a
ward or sick room. (Slim') R. GREEN,
Inspector of Hospitals.

It has been before mentioned, that a considerable
alteration in the uniform, &c. of the Royal Marine
Corps is to take place on the Ist of June next. The
hat at present worn will give place to an elegant cap,
similar to that worn by the 85th Regiment, and the
alterations to be made in the uniform of the Officers
will be truly handsome.

REVOLUTIONS IN ITALY.The Acts and Projects
of the Holy Alliance relative to Italy are most ably
exposed in a masterly pamphlet, supposed to be
written by one of our great Opposition Peers, and
which is just published in the PAMPHLETEER, No. 85,
in which Number is inserted M. Benjamin Con-
stant's pamphlet on the new Law of Elections for
the Chamber of Deputies, which has caused so
much agitation in France—alto the Rev. W. L.
Bomles* pamphlet, which has called forth Lord
Byron's Letter now in circulation relative to the
Pore, &c.--besides eight other pamphlets of imme-
. Jiate iLterest.
