The Navy and Army Ettimates were moved
lat night in the Houfe of Commons. Seventy
,houiand ieamen and marines were voted for
the remainder Of the year but this, Mr.. Ad-

however, feem to approach very near to the
actual peace eRablilhment, and probably they
will TO further vary hereafter than in certain
regulations and fnal reductions which now
cannot be made. The number of men voted is,
of cavalry "a 900, comPrehending thirty regi.
ments; Of Infantry, nearly $4,000, compre-
hending feventy regiments. beGd-s the Guards,
making total Of about 10000 men, at an ex-
pence of two millions and half annually.

be regarded as final arrangement. That will
probably not be made till next year.
