The report of the Royal Standard being about to be railed in the Weitern departments of France, wi der the French Princes or their Officerr, gains ground. It is laid that PICIISOIttI, as well as Du• MOORtilt, have been eonfulted by the Princes of France. Whether •he time be yet come for loch an enterprize, may admit of very confiderable doubt. Monday the Doke of CLARFNCI dined with the neighbouring Gentlemen, who aiciate at the Bufh, 'at Staines. TheCuke was lo gratified with his re ception, that he exprelled a with to become a Mem ber; when he was propofed b y Mr.MAINWARING, and eleeled with every potlible degree of honour. Oa Friday evening laft, the whole of the Regiment of Royal Brian' Volunteers, were reviewed by his Royal Highnefs the Duke of CUM aaaaa Ntr. He was received amid the Ihouts of the populace, whofe enthufiaftic loyalty would have warmed the heart of every Briton. His Royal Highnefs exprefred his entire approbation of the handfome and foldier like appearance of the Regiment. He then direded the officers to inform each Company, that the noble mannar in which they had volunteered their fervices on the preceding evening, to march td any part of the diftriet where his Royal Highnefs commanded, afforded him the higheft gratification ; yet he pledged his honour that nothing but the greateft danger and emergency thould remove them from their prefent fituatinn. The firfl Battalion of Guards, at prefent at Chat- I ham barracks, will fhortly take the field along with the third Battalion now encamped without the lines, to make room for the Army of Referve, a great number of which are daily training to the We of :I MIS. An encampment is ordered to be immediately form. ed at Bexhill, in Suffer. Entrenching tools for 15.000 men have been fent from Woolwich to the Artillery depot at Canterbu ry ; a large quantity of pikes have alfo been conveyed to Dover for the ufe of the Sea Fencibles. At a time like the prefent when fo :noels depends on the introduCtion of difcipiline and appropriate habits into thole military corps that are formed upon the volunteer fyitern, it is painful to perceive any relaxa tion in the obfervance of fuch regulations as have been cheerfully adopted, and uniformly adhered to ; perhaps none among them are more falutary, better calculated to coned habits of indolence and ditfipa tion, thole formidable enemies of order and rrgula. ri y, to promote health, and to Reer clear of other avocations, than an early attendance at the morning drill. Under thefe irnpreßions we are lorry to obferve that a ',cry refpeltable corps have been direeted to meet at feven, inflead of half pat fix o'clock in the morning ; and at a time when many of the members lamented that they did not at this favourable feafon affemble at fix o'clock. It is to be hoped, that the alteration in the hour has been made for better rea foss than the accommodation of a few individuals, to Whore habitual hours of riling this may ayprovi. mate t but as it is our intention to guard fimilar airo dation' againit the contagion of a bad Freedom, rather than to examine the motives that aauate this corps, which might be deemed invidious, we think it only neceffary to call the attention of the public to the confideration of the labia/, which will be fitflicient to retrain the mere influence of exatOple, and to pre vent the excellent effeas that arift from an early attendance on military exercife being broken in upon by any thing lets than the natural operation of the Seafons. A new regulation bas taken place among the let ter-carriers belonging to the Poit-Office, which ren ders more fecure the conveyance of money-letters to different parts of the kingdom ; and prevents the poffibility of fraud being ptaltifed. Each man now carries a bor, which is locked up, and the key de tfitteed at the Poll-Office ; the top of the fame is con ed to flip the letters through, as they are re ceived ; and they mull remain within, until delivered Into the hands of the forters, who unl. , ek till box, and forward the contents to the places c fJeflination. This falutary plan will render communications cer tain. and prevent letters from being farmed by the carriers. • H4riiiii"Alf2T 771E.7 1... a night a CoMedy, in three ear, from the pen of Mr. Boaasm, called the Maid V . Brillo!, was per. formed for the fiat time. The dory of the piece is taken from the tale of the Maid of the Need. but the author has contrived to give marry features of ori• ginality to the plot. The heroine of the dra•na ha's received the addreires of a German Officer, who is fent to America to fight the battles of England.— While abroad he is erroneoufly inhumed of the incon Raney of the objea of his choice, in confiquence of which he marries another Lady. Bring wounded in battle, he returns to Brißol with his wife. The dif- carded lover lofts her reafon, and takes reftige.in a barn, where the is preferred by the humanity of a farmer. The Officer's wife loon after dies, and this (sudden even: enables him to wed the injured Maid of Brian'. In the progrefa of the (cent fame interell is excited, but the eknotreareat is effdled with very little and a confiderable drawback upon the fuccefs of the piece is of courfe produced. After the play was finiihed, Mr. Eta-tyros recited a PATRIOTIC Erttooug, writteniby Mr. COLMAN, of which the following is a copy In times like theft, the Sailor of our Play, Muchmore than common failors has to fay; For Frenchmen, now, the Bridal Tars provoke, And doubly tough is every Ilan of Oak, • Ready to die or conquer, at command ; While all are Soldiers who are left on land.

RITIEW or rill CITY LIGHT Hoas".—Every road leading from town to Wimbledon Common was crowded with gigs, landaus, and carriages of every defcription, as early as (even o'clock yellcrchty morn ing, and at aight o'clock the Surrey Yeomanry took the ground. The City Light Honk began to moiler fhortly after. Some came in their carriages, and (rime on horfeback, &c. The Light Horfe fell in according as they arrived, on the next part of the Common to Wimbledon; the chief part came in a body, from their ground at Worthip tireet, along Blackfriar's bridge. Three troops of the difmounted cavalry arrived in fix cars ; they fet off from their ground in Gray's Inn-lane, and went through Chelfea, and along Batterfea-bridge. They fell in on the centre of the Common, between the mounted and the ground marked out for the Review. There were two brats field pieces, and twenty of the Royal Artillery from Woolwich. The Surrey Yeomanry encircled the ground; the difmounted cavalry, about zoo, formed and received each it round of cartridges; the mount ed were about loo; they, after muttering on the next end of the Common, marched to the ground, where they all fell in about half pail nine o'clock—e.theartil lery on the right, the difmounted Cavalry in the cen tre, with the horfe equally divided on each fide. The day being molt uncommonly 6ne, the number of car riages, of various defcriptions that arrived, were be yond calculation. They formed a ring round the ' ground, of two and three deep, for at leaft two miles round; the glittering of the arms in the fun.beams, together with the blaze from the fcarlet and accon. trements, were fuch as to dazzle the eyes. The en tire range of carriages could not be lets than about 1590. In the front, there was a long line of dif mounted Ladies, no Gentlemen being permitted infide the line; while, in the rear, the fervent' and the other different orders of people, were regaling themfelves at the different tents. About ten &clock. the fcene was very grand. The finenefs of the day, p.nd the rail concourfe of falbionable fpedators feat. tered on the extenfive common, including carriages, horfes, booths, and Volunteers of every kind, great ly added to the intereff o. the whole. At one time they were very uneafy that Lord Haattnoton had not arrived; who was to review them. At about half pall ten Lotd Haaatnorox, accompanied by his fon, the Hon. S. Sr:tenors, appeared, danced by a (mall party of the Surrey Yeomanry, and fol lowed by feveral of the Weßminfter Light Horfe.— On his Lordlhip's arrival. he was received by a dif. charge of artillery : after which followed a long train of Officers,' &e. be rode up the full extent of the ranks to infpea them, and then rode down behind in the fame manner; after which his Lorrillsip took his place hi the front of the line, while Colonel Haut's gave the word of command, they at the fame dose going through their various evolutions. Thefe were performed in a very foldier-like manner. All the cavalry rode in troops before his L..rdfhip, and the foot marched in companies ; after which thiy ad ' vaned rapidly Mad the &id s being led by the Ar 'Merl. The hit& afterwards fell in on the left, and rode by liti Lordlhip, -re by one, in review; next the difmounred carall y, in open order, by n-oa tries, with the Band pl n :rig, in ordinary time. They then went through their vii Hs; evoktions ''eparately, much to the fat: frai.oi of their General, the hook men going through their (word err:cite in a malted, manner, while the dilmounted cavalry r de i,. i r full gallop in their lix military cats. They then went through their manual exercife, tier firing bring admirably performed. The who]; time of the fitld exercife exceeded three hours and a hrlf. The Ladies in general quitted their can iages, and fat on the boxes along with the coachmen. Some, mounted the roof, and others footed it along the Common. On the whole we never recolkel whief ing fn attraftive a military exhibition. One of the Ladies Tows' sto sin, when (landing up in Lord LE:curses landau ' was pitched forward her fo precipitately as to give Ladyfhip a black eye. The Review, the various evolutions of which re- Retied the highelt honour on this very ref peelahle Corps, concluded about a quarter before two o'clock. We heard of few accidents. One we mull mention, becaufe it may produce ferious confequences.. A Gentleman, one of the difmotinted cavalry. having I aded and thoulderedhis carbine after firing, the piece suddenly went off. Owiug to the heat of the day, and the gentleman probably not holding it clofe and tight to his Moulder, it hit him a revere blow on the head, which made him (Dagger. He was immediately con veyed to the rear. We hope, however. that the in jury he fullained, was not ferious. We obferved di. verfe horfes galloping about the common. having difmounted their riders at the firing. Thefe horfes belonged only to individuals who came to fTe the re view they were all retaken by the aetivity of certain hackney coachmen and pollillions, who were detach. ed in purfisit of them. A foraging party from town, yellerday, made a great booty at Wimbledon. Many ladies were rob bed of their watches and handkerchiefs. One enrol'. innate lady Paid the knew it was a man in a brown coat that got her watch, for he would not let her acrd et cafe for a moment. LONDON ARTILLERY Comramv.--TheriverTbrmes yeßerday exhibited a foeitaele which, both in point of novelty, of fplendour and of regularity, has fel. dons been wimeffed. Agreeably to expeaation. the Honourable Artillery Company. afembled on their I ground in Bunbill-row about fix o'clock yellerday morning, and marched to the Tower.ltairs, where a I number of barges, manned by the River Fencibles. 1 under the conduet of Mr. Lucas, their Commodore, , aid of Mars. GRAY, BATTS, CLARKSON, and SMirK, their Captains; were ready to receive them. The em• ' barkation commenced before eight o'clock, and in lets than forty minutes was completed with the utmod regularity. The corps confided of between 7co and Soo, and barges were provided which could have ac commodated 300 more. Before nine o'clock they all got under way. The LORD Maio', Alderman Bor. DELL, Aldermen SHAW and LFIBHTOII, the Sheriffs Elea, and Tome other Gentlemen occupied the fiat barge. In the fecond were Mr. Le Mr soil se, the Colonel of the Corps, and the other principal officer% and the company with their band of mufic; two brat) field pieces, and two ammunition waggons, folloWedl in 34otherbarges, each rowed by fir of the River Fetts cibles in their uniform, the mailer of each lighter or barge diredingthe rudder. The number of private par ties, attratted by the finenefs of the day, and by the rioa velty of the.fpeftacle, can hardly be Agured, and the river might in tome places be fa id to beliter all ycovered with boats. Not the molt trifling accident,boweve r, oc. carrell Repeated chears and falutes of cannon greeted them from all quarters as they proceeded down 'the river ; the Rags were difplayed from all the foreign (hips; and nothing but hilarity, Writ, and good hu mour prevailed, while the favourite tunes of Ris's Bri• tea ia and Heart: of Oak, which were performed by the bands of mufic. added a sell to the pleafitte of the fcene. About half pall ten o'clock the boats. reached the Warren at Woolwich, where the corps difembarked with the graten ordet and expedition, not even a foot being wet, whilß a difcharge of can.. non from (bore announced their arrival. , Hode s were in readinefs to draw their cannon, and having gone through their different evolutions in a very mallerly manner, they marched through the Warms in columns, the picquet guard being drawn out to receive them. They then proceeded op to Woolwich Barrack-field. Having . paired the dommon, they then formed into fcourtng parties, and commenced a fyllem of kb ifghtinr. which they Managed with great (kill and aetivity, through the woods all along_ to Bamborough.fields,'near . to Greenwich Park. Here, having again gone through foam evo lutions, about half pall one o'clock, they emended their arms, and halted opcofite to Mr. Mona. erste's houfe, about half pad can where they was-, reheat:swots, confifting of Sandwiches, porn t, Ike. They afterwards proceeded, and arrived at the place where they were to re-embark, dote by Greenwich Hofpital. At half pall three they teimbarked with great expedition, and awed homewards. They were faluted as in the; morning, he litotes being crowded . 1 with perfons of all dtfcriptions to witnefs fe novel a fight. Returning under London.lieidge,they landed at the Three Ctane Stairs, without a tingle accident happening, notwithßanding the River was fo crowd ed at one time that it appeared alveoli impoffible to pals. Great praik is certainly due to the Fencibler, for the fleadinefs and regularity sleds which they con dueled every thing. lifter landiag, they researchedto the Manficis Houle, where they formed a line, and prefented arms to the Loan Mama, who„ with Al dermen Borns:A., Sian, and foam other Gentle men, had accompanied the corps to Woolvrithin this Cit;Barge. His Lordfhip, with the Lady Maximise and daughters, were in the Balcony, when he com plimented the Corps, in a neat fpeeth. on that* mili tary appearance, he: requelling his particular thanks for the honour they had done him. They then marched home to their ground.. where their Colonel, Alderman Le Mast/atm addrefed them in a very neat and apprdpriate manner. emaeffing his thanks and pride oh - their naderly and f defier like appearance during the dpy. It was with the highell fatisfaSioa he could inform them; that they bad received the *smelt encomiums of many Military Officers who had witnefed their condo& ; after which he JiCatilled them. having been fierine hours under arms.
