The appointments of the whole of the Staff at Hilsea, as a Military Depôt, will cease on the 24th inst. with the exception of Wm. Tinling, Esq. (Paymaster) who removes to Portchester. All Invalids &c. who may arrive at Spithead, in future, will be landed at the Isle of Wight, to proceed to Albany Barracks.
