The manoeuvres were executed with the greatest precision and rapidity. The steadiness of the in fantry, composed, as they principally are, of militia regiments, elicited the approbation of the general in command. The 15th Regiment, which headed the infantry, was the only regiment of the line on the ground. The insubordination of the Berry Militia was inquired into last week by a military court. Several witnesses were examined, and their evidence has been forwarded to the Horse Guards. On Monday the mbitia were inspected by Major-General Sir J. Chatterton. The regiment went through the usual evolutions with great precision, and at the conclu sion of the inspection the gallant general, forming the troops in hollow square, addressed them upon the subject of their late insubordinate conduct. The gallant general, in concluding his address, inquired if the men had any complaint to make, and none being offered, the troops were informed that any future misbehaviour would be punished with severity, and then dismissed to quarters.
