of arrogance. He issues but few orders, but has those most strictly executed; and any breach of his orders he punishes without partiality for person or rank yet from the interest which all perceive he feels for them, he knows how to reconcile the most perfect obedience with affection.

To gain the confidence of an army requires very eminent qualities, and he is most worthy of command in whom such confidence is placed. The general suffrage of a gallant army is ever conferred with impartiality and judgment.

Correspondence from the Theatre of War in the Peninsula.

Lisbon, March 6th, 1813.-ENSIGN William Kortwright, of the Coldstream Guards, whilst on the march with a party to join the army, in a fracas with some Portuguese ordered a soldier to fire, and a Portuguese was killed.-A Court of Inquiry, appointed to examine into this business, were of opinion that he acted correctly. The Marquis of Wellington, however, left it to the choice of the Portuguese government to decide whether he should be tried by a General CourtMartial, or by the Civil power of Portugal; they chose the latter; and here the matter, for the present, rests.-The Ensign has sent in a protest, and solicited to have the opinions of the crown lawyers.

Lieutenant-Colonel Archdall, of the 40th regiment, is to be tried for flogging men without a Court-Martial.-This punishment has frequently taken place lately without Courts-Martial, especially in the 82d.

The above are the topics of conversation for the day.

Miemento Races, Third Spring Meeting, 3d March 1813.

During the present week a grand rout has been given at Govea, by Colonel Doyle, consisting of variety of entertainments, as opera-dancing, singing, and

cards,

We were happy to see this gallant Colonel in such health and spirits; and the officers of the neighbourhood are highly indebted to him for the amusements of an evening in which hilarity, festivity, and good cheer were the component parts.

MURDER OF LIEUTENANT DICKINSON, OF THE 420 REGIMENT. Portugal, 1st April, 1813.-You have no doubt heard of the death of Lieutenant Dickinson, of the 42d; but as many erroneous accounts may have reached you, I shall send you the correct particulars thereof.-Lieutenant Dickinson, a mild and good young man, having occasion to find fault with his corporal, ordered him to change his dress and follow him.-The corporal loaded a musket with two balls, fixed his bayonet, and followed the Lieutenant.-On his way the latter turned round to observe if the corporal followed, and at that instant he levelled his musket and shot him through the heart.-The man in his defence acknowledged the atrocity of his crime, lamented, as he said, that by the instigation of the devil, he had killed an officer whom every one loved he submitted to his fate resolutely, and was hanged in chains.—It is a strange unaccountable circumstance of cool and deliberate murder, without a shadow of provocation.

The wounds for which pensions are granted must have been received since the commencement of hostilities in 1793; the pension will be proportioned to the rank he held at the time of being wounded, and will be paid from Dec. 25, 1811.-Commissary-General at the head of a Department, 3501.; Ditto not at the head of a Department, 3001.; Deputy-CommissaryGeneral at the bead of a Department, 3001.; Ditto not at the head of a Department, 2001.; Assistant-Commissary-General, 1001.; Deputy-Assistant-CommissaryGeneral, 701.; Commissariat Clerk, 401.; Commissary-General of Accounts, 3601.; Deputy-Commissary-General of Ditto, 2001.; Assistant-Commissary-General of Ditto, 1001.; Deputy-Assistant-Commissary-General of Ditto, 701.; Commissariat Clerk, 401.

Horse Guards, April 10.-His Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief is pleased to direct, that when a regiment embarks for garrison duty on foreign service, the lawful wives of soldiers shall be permitted to embark, in the proportion of twelve per company, including the wives of non-commissioned officers; and rations are to be issued for them as long as the corps remains in a foreign garrison.

When a regiment embarks for active field service, the number of soldiers' wives to be permitted to accompany it must be limited to six per company; or their embarkation must be altogether forbidden, according to the nature of the service for which the regiment may be destined.

To such wives of soldiers as are not permitted to embark with their husbands, the rates of allowance, authorised by the Act of the 51st of Geo. III. chap. 106, and by the act of the 52d of Geo. III. chap 120, will be granted, to enable them to proceed to their homes, or to the places at which they intend to reside, during the absence of their husbands on service.

If a regiment should embark from a foreign garrison for field service, such soldiers' wives as are not permitted to embark with the regiment, are to be sent by the earliest conveyance to this country: on their arrival in Great-Britain or Ireland, they will receive the rates of allowance specified in the Acts of Parliament above alluded

to.

When a Royal Veteran Battalion embarks for foreign garrison duty, all soldiers' wives of good characters, who are desirous of accompanying their husbands, are to be permitted to embark.-By command of H. R. H. the Commander-in-Chief, HARRY CALVERT, Adj.-Gen.

COURT-MARTIAL.

AT a General Court-Martial, held at St. Helier's, in Jersey, on the 2d and 3d days of February, 1813, was tried Brevet-Major JAMES STEWART, of the 46th Regiment, on the undermentioned charges, viz.

1st. "For highly improper, unmilitary, and insubordinate conduct, totally subversive of discipline, in having, on or about the 21st day of January, 1813, at Orguil Castle, in the island of Jersey, issued, or cause to be issued, under colour and pretext of a Division Order of that date, the most disrespectful, injurious, and unwarrantable reflection on the previous commands and prior regimental orders of Captain OGILVIE, his (the said Brevet-Major JAMES STEWART'S) Commanding Officer-such retrospective reflections being materially prejudicial to His Majesty's service, from their tendency to lessen Captain OGILVIE, as Commanding Officer, in the estimation of the officers and soldiers of the said regiment under his command." 2d. "For extremely irregular and unofficerlike behaviour in entering, and directing to be entered, the Division Orders above set forth in the Orderly Book of his (Brevet-Major STEWART's) Company, in the 46th Regiment, commanded by Captain OGILVIE, instead of first communicating such Orders in the usual routine of duty to the several officers commanding Corps within the Division, as properly it ought to have been, thereby manifesting gross ignorance of the rules of the service." Upon which Charges the Court came to the following decision :

"The Court, after having maturely and deliberately considered the evidence adduced on the part of the prosecution, as well as what the prisoner had to offer in his defence, is of opinion, with respect to each Charge, as follows:

"With respect to the First Charge, the Court is of opinion that the Prisoner is Guilty.

"With respect to the Second Charge, the Court is of opinion that the Prisoner is guilty of extremely irregular and unofficerlike behaviour, in entering, or directing to be entered, the Division Order set forth in the Orderly Book of his (Brevet-Major STEWART'S) Company, in the 46th Regiment, commanded by Captain OGILVIE, instead of first communicating such Orders in the usual routine of duty to the several officers commanding Corps within the Division, as properly it ought to have been, thereby manifesting ignorance of the rules of the Service, but not gross ignorance of the rules of the Service, as specified in the Charge.

And the Court does hereby adjudge the said Brevet-Major JAMES STEWART, the Prisoner, to be publicly and severely reprimanded, and to be suspended from rank and pay for the space of six calendar months."

Which Sentence His Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT was pleased to confirm.
