ON BREVET PRO),IOTION.
MR. EDlTolt-•.• I beg leave through your Paper (con-
taining .o much general information respecting the'
Army) to correct the statement of a late Correspon-
dent ot the Morning Chronicle, under the signature of
" rad likvonians," asserting that the last Brevet
Promotion in the Army was a general one ; he is mis
tikr last Brevet was confined entirely to a few
individual, recommended from the Duke of Wet:
LixoroN's Army then in France, nor did it extend
even to those forturily of his Army in Spain, and
s-rvirg since in America. There has been no general
Brevet since the occasion of the foymer peace with
France —none on occasion of the present one, though
I More demi ve, icriferuiite, and glorious than -the other,
tint more gen•ral as including a peace with America,
which the Comer peace did not. The present peace
one with all the world..
Would the Cerrespondent in the Morning Chronicle
so far forget the meaning of his signature, ,s Philo.
Wellingkeian," as to wish to exclude from the benefit
of the last partial Brevet, or from any benefit on the
occasion ot a general peace both with France and
America, those Veterans who, having honourably
concluded the war in Spain, under the Duke of WEL..
uxotoN, went to America and terminated the7Avar
there, contending with an enemy presenting the most
arduous service, in the most distant and noxious of
climates ?.
Would he exclude those Officers who stormed and
took the capital of America, and afterwards served
at New Orleans, or those serving in the East and
West Indies at the time ? Or does that Correspon-
dent know that there are Captains of ten and eleven
years standing, who have so served (and Majors in
proportion) with the same pay they had in the days
of Queen ANN e?
It eialasitarlifrobject•of .that Correspondent, it ill
corresponds the the signature he has adopted, or
with those viewv which will, n 6 doubt, in due time-
be attended tolit the fountain-head of promotion.
I notice his nttitatentent only as one calculated to
mislead the public opinion on the subject of promo-
tion.—l am, tee. PHILO JOSTITI2.

Sronco..----The severest running of the whole
season was afforded by the Bri.thton subscription pack
of harriers on Monday. The dogs threw off at
Patcham, at half past ten o'clock,near which place a
hare was presently started, which took for Pangdean
Holt; and thence towards Claitop windmill. From
the latter place puss passed the toll gate on the Cuck-
field !owl, called Stone-pOund, and ran to Harst,
passing through the village for Bolney. At Bolney
puss headed %hurt to the left, and retraced her course
for Hurst, where, being close pressed, she took to the
pond, and ended the chase with her lite, after running
upwards ci 13 miles, in a thickly enclosed part of the
country, and wi!hout the dogs being once at check ori
fau;t thrlugliont, in the short space of about an hour
end 25 minutes. About forty sportsmen were in the
field, but of o.ese only five were in at the dpth, viz.
Lord tinNitl CHOLSSONDELZY, who rode a horse be-
longing to tlet Princess CHARLOTTE; THOM AS POOLE,
ER. of Hodshrove ; Captain BRIDGES, Mr. Hurren,
and Mr. TURNER. It rained briskly during the whole
el the run. •
