Vie 2J Battalions of the 43d and 87th Regiments
have bcea disbanded in the cuurse of last month, in
England.
Atter this reduction, there will only be Ave Regl..l
twits in the British service, with aiditional [luta-
v:t. Ist (Royals), the 14.. h, 27th, 69th, and
I: K. Brigade.

additim to the foregoing reductions, which will
place immediately after the arrival of the troops
o,t present or their way from Frante to this country,
tc seems perfectly understood, in the best informed
anlitary circles, that a further reduction of two Cap-
tains, two Lieutenants, two Ensigns, and one Assis-
tant-Surgeon, in every Regiment in the British ser-
vice, has been finally determined upon, as a measure
s: retrenchment and economy, which can, with every it
tafety to the service, be fully accomplished.
The return of the troops, now on their way from
France, the arrival of the iStli (daily expected from
the West Indies, at Portsmouth') and the reduction
r,f the 2,1 Battalions stationed in Ireland, will, most
probably, give rise to A change of quarters with
rust, if not every Battalion in Great Britain and
Ireland.; of course, at least six Regiments will pro-
ceed early in spring to Ireland. Whether they sill
be taken from the troops now in this country,
!rim those on their w ►y home, time must determine.
White small-clothes and black leggin' are again
ordered to be worn Ey all the Regiments destined for
the homy service, instead of the grey trowsers adopted
airing the l.tte war; most likely white pantaloons
and Hessian boots will be the dress of the Officers.
Some think it not improbable that the old military
and respectable uniform (the long coat and cocke..l
141) will, in time of peace, be once more ordeted for
the Officers of the Infantry.
