jiN MILITARY DISCIPLINE., •
IW, Reuvois--4n ?Willman of the intention suggested in an
article yllti did me the favour to adMit On the Stith of January,
I requeit space to deiilope the arrangement therein alluded to.
The radix, or Not of field movement, is position ; and it will be
perhaps acknowledged by many practical Officers, that few Regi•
ments wille.tven now, stand, In this instance, the test of critical
examinatitini I would almost add, those only who were originally
diiciplined under the eye of the late Sir Joust Monad, or whose
formation has directly emanated from Officers instructed in that
*hle General's peculiar sysienn
The untionstrained positions, and easy mode of march laid down
in the compilation recently put forth by the Adjutant-General of
the Fortes, is very 'judiciously adopted from the Ilythe Drill,
which, tit-sedulous attention to an accurate and nice balance of
the body, without arms, attained a firm and graceful position with
arms, whether the soldier be exhibited in fixed ranks or in move-
ment. Without descanting on ulterior objects, I would here rest,
as on a rock, my argument. In order, therefore, that movement
may be rendered critically uniform throughout the service, that all
soldiers may, m called upon, work with the least fatigue, let a
general depot be established for this preliminary drill of position,
under a tried Field Officer, as Commandant, and competent Staff ;
let Regiments in suceesssion detach Officers and Non Commissioned

Officers for instruction ; but above all, let every Adjutant '''''''
'rant. Mijor pass under the observation of the Commandant, before
he be authorised to act with a Regiment ; if the order was were
extended to Comntanding Officers, the Airy would be most ripe-
cially benefited. _ _

As in the cavalry, with respect to horsemanship, sn let the ordeal
be made, with respes to position, in the Infantry. A cation
should be selected for the establishment, where neither garrison
duties would interfere, nor variety distract attention—the barracks
of Weedon, or any point distant from populous towns, but central
for periodical changes. A VETERAN.
Fifty Recruits lave very lately joined the 72J, or the Duke of
Albany's Own Highlanders, at Belfast.
Tuesday, the Diadem transport arrived at Portsmouth from
the lonian Islands, with part of the 56th Regiment on board, after
a long voyage. The Princess Royal arrived on Friday, with the
ifeadioarters of the same Regiment, commanded by Major
&towns, from Gibraltar.

Thursday, the whole of the troops in Portsmouth garrison, con-
sisting of the 37th, 53d, Royal 31arine Artillery, and Royal Ma-
rines, were paraded on Lion Terrace, under the command of
Major General Sir James Lyon, K.C.B. and forming in two co-
lumns, advanced by different roads on Hilsea, where they de.
ployed and formed on the Lines, as if to defend the attack on tho
approach of an enemy from PortsdownHilL After performing these
msuauvres and firing several rounds, they reformed, and marched
back to the garrison by the high road.
Detachments belonging to Infantry Regiments at Jamaica, are
ordered to embark on board the Arab transport, at Glasgow, for
conveyance to their respective Corps. Detachments belonging to
several Regiments of Foot arrived in town, on Friday, from this-
tol, on route to join their respective Battalions and Depots, at Chat-
ham, Canterbury, Hytbe, and Dover.

Madagascar, about 18 miles to the northward of Pan St. Felix, and
was totally lost. The men escaped from the wreck in three boats,
two of which were cut off by the natives. The Captain, being
pursued by them, took to the water, when two of the natives
thrust their spears into him. He fell into the water. They then
dragged him ashore, and stripped hint. " While l,"eays one of the
survivors, " was running to the beach to regain my boat, 1 pinged
some of my shipmates welteringin their blood. I was closely par-
sued by several of the natives, but by the help of Got, swam to the
boat. I then took up my unloaded musket, and aimed at them,
when they immediately fell on their breasts, and crawled away.—.
This was the means of saving our boat, and several of the crew. I
looked towards the shore • my shipmates were all massacred, except
an English boy and two black men, who were then closely pursued
by the natives." Names of those saved : S. H. Fisher, of Martha's
Vineyard, first Officer; John Niills, third Officer; John Powell;
Thomas Lewis, Henry Curtinton, John &num', Anthony Swab,

CORN EXCHANGE, MARK-LANK, PLUM/NIT e.
The supplies of last week were moderate, and this morning are
again inconsiderable. Our millers manifest very little disposition
to purchase Wheat, superfine samples being scarce, remain as last
quoted; but other sorsa are dull, and rather lower. There i. no
alteration in the Barley trade, and sales continue to be made heavily.
Beans sell at about the terms last reported. Peas of both kinds are
very dull, and again Is. to Sts. per qr. lower. There is a considerable
quantity of Oats on sale, chiefly the remains of former supplies, and
this article has declined in value full Is. per qr. The Flour trade
continues in a very heavy state, but we do not note any alterasioa •
in prices.
