Telegraph newspaper, by permission of The British Library:
Chatham, July 24.--The town has been thrown into a sudden bustle by
the arrival of an order last night for the immediate march of the 87th
Regiment of Fusileers, 800 strong, for Ireland. None of the officers had
the slightest expectation of such a movement. The whole regiment moved
this morning.
