THE ARMY.

It will be seen that the regiments detailed in the
STAR several weeks ago are now to embark immedi-
ately for Portugal. Would they had embarked at
the time it was first proposed to send.them !—they
might have materially tended to decide the final issue
of the t-emendous conflict which we look for in that

country.
The Bays and 4th Dragoon Guards give up their
horses to regiments going on service. The Bays go
to Scotland, and tire 4th Dragoon Guards to Wey-
mouth.
It is said that one of the regiments of Horse Guards
will be sent out, as well as a complete brigade of the
Foot Guards.
Lord PAGET' next week goes out with the Hussar
brigade.
We hear that some of the spirited Militia Regi-
ments have offered to go as regiments with their offi-
cers to join Lord WELLINGTON 10,000 of these fel-
lows, at this moment, in Spain, might decide the con-
test there.
The Royal Pembroke, the Monmouth, and Royal
East Middlesex regiments of Militia have volunteered
their services, and will immediately be sent to Ireland.
Several more Generals are going out to Spain...-.
Lieutenant-General WARDE is mentioned, among
other able officers, as going there : he is succeeded in
the command of the Severn District by Major-Gene-
ral Hors.

The new arrangment for the Staff will immediately
be carried into effect, as stated in the STAR two
months ago. Colonel DRINKWATER will certainly be
the new Commissary-General, and Colonel GORDON
the new Quarter-Master-General.
We are sorry to learn that Lord Ho WE) the Gover-
nor of Plymouth, and General Fox, the Governor of
Portsmouth, are both very dangerously ill.
The remainder of the 9th Light Dragoons, two 4
squadrons of the 4th heavy dragoons, and several
other detachments, have marched into Plymouth, to
embark for foreign service. They are all destined-for
the Peninsula, except the 9th dragoons, which go to
Sicily.
We understand that the 7th, 10th, 13th, and 18th
regiments of Light Dragoons, are now complete in
horses, as well as having the men in the highest order
for service. We need not add that they are burning
with ardour for a rencontre with French hussars.
It is thought, that if proposed to them, the Militia
regiments would not only go to Ireland, but to Jer-
Isey, Guernsey, or Alderney; by which several of the
regiments of the line would be relieved, and enabled
Ito go to Spain.
The 2d West York Militia is on the march to
Chelmsford. The North Gloucester Militia goes to
Kent; the South Gloucester Militia is doing the duty
over the French prisoners at Dartmoor.
The Denbigh Militia as well as the Radnor Militia.•
have reeeittd orders to march to. Bristol.
• The Kerry Regiment of Militia, quartered at Wex.
ford ; the Monaghan Militia, quartered in Caher ; and
the men under the command of Captain ROWLEY
MILLEa, of the Derry Militia, stationed at Dom' npa.:
trick, amounting to 100 men, have volunteered their
services to Great Britain.
The 2d Somerset Regiment of Militia, on the 25th
' of last month, relieved the Cumberland, at Norman
Cross : they were reviewed by General WILLIAMSON
on the Ist instant, and gave him great satisfaction 3
which has since been confirmed by their good con-
! duct. The 2d Somerset gave their number of volun-
1, teers to the line in one day ; and the men only wait
Fpermission to extend their services to Ireland, for
I which duty they hope to be the first regiment, and are
ready to embark at an hour's notice.
The gallant •Major-General BURNS, of the 36th
Regiment, now serving in Portugal, is not a dative of
Ireland as erroneously reported, but of Peterborough,
in Lincolnshire. His father was a respectable Cler-
gyman.
