EDINBURGH, OCTOBER 13. --- The different volunteer corps belonging to this city have, within thefe few days, been infpeaed by Brigadier-General GRAHAM and Lieutenant-Colonel C LLLLL DAR, who have expreffed themfelves much pleafed with their appearance and difcipline. The tR Regt. of Royal Edinburgh Volunteers, commanded by the Lord Advocate, were infpcifted yellerday at Bruntsfidd Links ; and, notwithßanding the abfence of many gentlemen at this period of the year, they muftered, including officers, &c. upwards of boo. A correfpondent in Perth has favoared,us with the following interelling particulars 1--" Colonel SPAITU of the Royal Artillery, and Mr. Commiffary Ruati soN, of the fame corps, have heen here for Tome days on their return, we •nderfland, from a tour to the North, for the purpofe of infpeflin, the defences be tween the Frith of Forth and Aberdeen.

In the cootie of his tour the Co lonel infpeeted the batteries at Arbroath, Mont - role, and Aberdeen. Colonel SMITH and Mr. Rositisoir arrived at Perth on Monday, and on 'Fuelday the Colonel had an opportunity of feting the Perth bat talion of infantry, commanded by Colonel MAR SMALL ; after which he proceeded to the infpcition of the Royal Perth Artillery, under the counna:.nd of Captain 'lousier. This corps went through a va riety of manceuvres and evolutions, of which Co lonel SMITH was pleated to etre& his highcft ap probation- While the corps were yet on the ground, Major Banwm, and the other Officers of the Royal Mid-Lothian Artillery, arrived in one of Colonel Cam rosi's inachines,having come from Edinburgh for the purpofe of paying their refpreas to Colonel SMITH. They were accompanied by Captain Ross, and another officer of the Royal Q2eensterry Batter ing Corps, and were faluted as they paired by the Royal Perth Artillery, drawn up in open order.

Moll, clear it is, that the efta bliflunent of order and conliftency is the Sill aid molt arduous Rep of this propels. My endeavour limply is, to prompt to the next, which, I aPprehend, that our enemy has in louse degree made without the materials we poffefs, in the courage, bodily Rrength, or motives of their foldiery. Even in my humble fituation thefe things are well known and felt, and I troll that nu expretton of unguarded anxiety or raillery Stall eves indicate ignorance or infenfibility on fuch vital points. . • It will be remembered that the feries of istir deci five naval gift oties were preceded by an alteration of fyltem originally propoled by a gentleman in civil life, perhaps at the moment when the (ervice waa prepared for the change. I troll, therefore. it ar gues no prefemption in any man whole fats is pledg ed with that of his King and Country, .to provoke attention to the quellion, whether fumething snarl gous limpid not now take place in the other grand department of our force. If I am right in fuppofing that the time is come, can the change be made there likewife upon a more aufpicious augury and example than the maritime hifiory of Britain finniffes ? With this impreiton I refume the examination of thole principles which 1 conceive to Rand in the way. While Colonel DILEADSOUGNT was teaching me the changes of formation and pofition according to the ettablifhed rules of the manoeuvres he deferibed. it. always (truck me that, under the roar of can non, and in the, heat and rage of battle, the order which there require for their execution could not cliff- Echellon movements, and the modes of tak ing up new alignments appeared very incapable of being pradifed in fuels circumflances, where I could not conceive how even the words of command could be beard or communicated. It leaned to me that I was learning a fort of ever abate' in arms, very grace ful indeed, but which 1 Ihould never be able to per form, excepting on parade ground. I law very well that there it gave the habits of uhing attentively and readily the eyes, limbs, and mind of the foldier, as I had heard that the eiercife of the Corniatt Martiur and Palefra did anciently. But methought there was this difference, that the difcipline of the Greeks and Romans exactly correfpoaded with the real pm bat, while with us it it a proverbial laying, that " no thing can be more unlike a review than a battle." And this is the cafe, although our fire arms, when we ufe ball, inftead of idle blank cartridges. admit of the molt period pradice by taking aim at io animate died& One chapter of the cetechifm I have before men tioned., however, removed all doubt about the effed of confining exclufively the praaice of difcipline to fomethieg which could not be the prance of gloat fighting. To the question, " how are foldiery to be prevented from leaving heir lines and columns, when they find that they cannot deltroy the enemy. and that they are perifhing in thefe ?" there is this fatisfadory anfwer, " By Never teaching thou to ail is any other . fituatios." Without going throngh the de tail, you will eafily conceive that, from the adoption of this principle, it mutt follow that the brava fol dier will be awkward and helplefs as a clown, when he is called to individual exertion which he has never before tried, either for making on repelling rapid and difengaged alTaults and changes of' pontoon. In the use, too, of the muftlet, the only wcapon,with its bayonet, of the common foldier, I could not for my foul imagine how in battle the firing Iltuuld always be from platoons or lines, or the fronts of columns, or fides of hollow squares. It (truck me, that to load, aim, fire, and puns as quickly and effttively as paible, would be all that men could do in an en gagement. Betides, that lines and columns could not be always the heft fituations for making our weapons deadly to the foe, even fuppofing it to be always pot- fibte to referee thefe. Why, then, not also teach to fire with certain effed in all fuppofable fituations, and to take and leave every pufition in the mutt ex peditious and Welt way for the'. tutpole. The Catechifm again relieved the doubt. To the queltion, " what is the ule of the mufquet I" the anfwer is not, " to deftroy the enemy," but, " to be carried, fired, and tolled, according to the regula tions." When no effee could be produced in that way, I underflood from him that it was the Colonel's practice rather to endure pallively what the enemy might inflin, than ever to deviate from rule; and that it was equally prohibited by the Laws of war so approach the enemy with irregular (peed, as it is by our Seoul& statutes, to kill hares and partridges in what thefe term, "forbidden tins." This might be fomewbat equitable while the enemy aeltd in the fame manner, but as it is pettedly known that they now We regular attach, by siting their whole infantry in thole innumerable fituations whet: cavalry cannot as as light troops, nothing can give me greater pleafute than to hear it reported that fume of our toigades are training under the direttion of Generals of the mat eminent reputation, to the fame mode of warfare.
