The right wing .Was commanded *by Major-General the Earl of Rummy, and the 'left wing by Briga dier-General CARRUTH-ERS. At ten o'clock His MAJESTY attended b; the DUKE of Yon t e, the Earl Of HARRINGTbN, Colonel ADDENBROOKR, and the whole of the Staff Officers, entered the Park.— The columns of the two Brigades immediately de ployed into line., • and the command being given to, openteanks, there was a general salute. lizsIqAJASTY and suite then passed in front and rear of the, line, while the Bands of Music played God. Save the Xing, and the Grenadiers' .Mareh: Jlrs MASIsTy took post in..front of the Ilrigades. The Troops then marched in line, .and, considering the disadvantage arising from the effect of the .late rains, acquitted themselves with the utmost steadi- • ness and precision. The whole broke in open cci lumn to the left, entered a new alignment, and form ed line, the left divisions havieg previously .been thrownforward, and the rear divisions filing into it. The line then broke into column to the right, en tered into the original alignment, and. formed line by the rear divisions filing up. In the course of these manoeuvres the companies fired from the flanks to the centre. The line marched up, after which there was a general salute. The line wheeled badkwards on the left, and passed His MAJESTY in review. The Corps then marched off to their respe&ive places of Qarnde. Every thing conspired, to give effe& to the scene. The stiff shone forth with all the splendour of the season. The military array, connected as it must necessarily be with those which have gone before it, was of that destription which Must be'ealculated to convince our great Opponent, the Autocrat of Frarite, if his spies gave him corrc&. information, that his hopes 'of the conquest of this Island are as vain as the zeal, loyalty,. and 'courage' of the people are un paralleled in. the history of any Great Nation on the lace of the Earth: CORN-EXCHANGE, Jux E 14.

Er we were to form an opinion of the state of rrar affairs either from the columns of the Opposition Journals, .or the conversation'of Opposition Men, it would .appear that the .Country is predestined to, ruin. There are certain perms amongst us who write and speak as if .chief delight consisted in. the anticipation Of public s evil. Thus, whenever the Enemy shifts his mode of attack, br obtains the slightest momentary advantage over the circuin.sPec tion of our Government, - .the-se wiseacres become hoarse with magnifying our dangers, with extolling the 'superior skill of .the foe, and with denouncing . the negligence of Ministers. This was their prac tice during the whole of the late War, and it has been revised in the. present, with renewed violence, fi .although the sphere of military Operations has been hitherto contraeted within very narrow bounds. • While we held the Squadrons of the E'nemy cooped up in their own ports, Ministers were accused e f t. Want of vigour ; but new that the kn!tuy's Squa dron has eluded our Fleets, they are accused of a want, of vigilance, as if omnipresence were an attri bute of Gevernment, and indefinite success its ne ver-failing Attendant, It must be particularly noticed .that, on the • breaking out of the present War it was' the general opinion, not only in this Country, sbut all over the Continent, that an _attempt would be made to h - vade either Great Britain or Ireland. To repel sue h a sudden attack we were not in *a state of edequate preparation. All the Fereign Troops which had been in our tervice , dutiug the late War, together with a great proportion of our regular Arsn7i Wei) . • disbanded at the Peace e and as no efficient means were: employed to recruit the latter, until the rbvi- , • viral of the War becarepe inevitable, wb were left in a very unprote6ted„condieion at home. The means of defence existed aod were. manifold, but they were not exerted, because It was the fashion in those day.; to talk of nothing but economy, andito ridicule every idea of: Continental infleenee or connexion. All this . while the French Government maintained pre cisely the same position in which it stood et the con clusion of the War ; or rather, it was continually occupied. in improving that position, and in strength. ening- its meaus both of defence and offence. So that. while we were renouncing all concern about the Conti nent, and slumbering on the security,downOr France was extending her foreign influence, and laying her • plans for the ruin of this Country. Accordingly . the French Government begun they ar with a disciplined . Army of 400,000 disposable men, and N 79 opppsed to this force about 20,000 disposable troops, the fragment of the of the finest Armies in the world. Had DONAPARTE made an attempt upon this Court - try- at that period (which he might have done), and had his troops made good their landine, it is evident that incalculable mischief would` have en sued, though there is no doubt the Inyaders would have been ultimately repelled. • • • To obviate this danger, and to gain time for . placing the Nation in a proper state of defence, at home as well as in her Colonies, the GoYernment resorted to the System of Blockade ; which, though . liable to many obje6tionS, yet, as the reasons in fa vour of the measure ,yere stronger than those against • . it, it was adopted and continued with unexampled constancy. The.. time .thus gained was Usethily employed. in reviewing our means, collecting nur strength, training the _people to the use of arme, and perfeaing the discipline of the Militia. in this , manner, we certainly bolted our -doors against the Enemy ; but, in doing so, we also debarred ourselves • of any favourable opportunity that might present it . self for our making a sortie upon him ; in other wards, we could, parry a blow, butmot strike. On Mr.. PITT'S return to power, things assumed a different appearane. The monotonous insipidity of . a defy/ethic War was condemned, and immediate steps were taken (consistently with the cramped state of our population) to enable us to resume our wonted vigour and fame. But their effe6ts could' ,not be visible: in a day. It has ever been a tai ions matter to bring the military force of this Cs' suntiy to • ,a6t offensively in the outset. of any war;. and When we retied on the thousands who were exempted, as; Volunteers, from eegaging in a .more a6tive service, and the various regulateone which weeks ) .required to lasso the force we had colle6ted on a respeatthle footing e we cannot be surprized that the blockade of the Enemy's ports should have been deemed expe dient, and Continued. Twelve months .have scarcely elapsed since the • present Minister, called by the voice of the Country, resumed his 'former situation ; and of that period several months have passed away during which , no legislative sanaions could be given to any additional plans ifor the augmentation of the Army. The Ad ditional Force Bill, pressed towards the close Of `the late Session, was the _only-experiment made to re duce those egregiona bounties which had materially impeded the Recruiting Service. So, that, consider- ing the obstacles that stood in his - way, from the previous Alts of the Legislature, which could- not ,be repealed on the spur of the occasion, Mr. PITT has certainly accomplished much towards realizing the principle on which he came into Office.. We are now ambled to send forth our Troops beyond the limits of our insular frontiers; a considerable force his been dispatched to reinforce our CdITiSQIA3 in the 'West Indies, and 'another .Expedition has recently sailed from our shores. In the mean time, the Bill fbr the Reduction of the Militia has been crowned with the success that yeaepromised, and our Regular Battalions are ,daily completing their numbers, from the spirited offers of the volunteers from the independently of the . increase they derive froto the Recruiting. Service, and the Occasional, enlisting from Volunteer Corps. : •• Hiving reviewed the causes of the policy of the Blockading System,, we shall ncc: t. inquire ntsto its e p i t ) , C r ll e d o v i l i l i t i lf ie O rc l ia th i o; t 6 e il re ri o ty uri ZtT t r i c:' ( O C :b ur i t l a a d i eg l i i s e tl t d a e :a t t e s hlni ti l e e r :, i d l e ts have been exposed to less i n . e oreur eien, and cur Coloniee have been preseeved' from Chu visitations of War for the spice of to ytlar3.
