Yesterday morning the Duke of YORK reviewed the 2d battalion of the Coldstream Regiment of Foot Guards, in Hyde-park. it the conclusion, - his Royal Highness, attended by his Aider-de. Camp, went to the Queen's Itidihg-house to inspect the new formed Corps of Lancets, His Royal . Highness was received by Capt. PETERS, who has had the instructing of them in the evolutions of this extraordinary, new, and useful exercise, fur the last few months; and has brought them to a state of very great perfection. The Royal Duke, seem pan;ed by his Aides.de-Camp, the Earl of Ros- LYN, General Flovn, the Marquis Of WoacasTsa, Colonel Moat.at4o, Captain Ft.ovp, Colonel PON" sosav, and a number of other Cavalry OffiCers, took their.statiOn in a gallery at the east end, near the Queen's Palace. The corps then com menced their exercise under the continent, of Captain PETERS. It is a matter of astonishment, to see with what firthness the men ride their horses in full gallop, and at the same. time load; fire pistols, and change from lance to pistols, and the to the sword exercise, and again return to lance, all which is performed ,without' any ineott# venience or difficulty. The lance, front what appeared yesterday, iS the most forniidable weapon that ever was seen in 'big country, but it can only be used by a good horse- Man, and when he is master of this exercise. NVliel i they were in full speed exercise, and attacking individually, it wits supposed they were in confu sion; as is sometimes the case in the field of battle, but on the word of command being given, the melt anti horses were instantly :in the greatest order- The training 'of the animals is truly astonishing. The exereisevasteluded in ti•rees, Ina walk, trot, and canter. ' The Duke of YORK, expressed himself 140 pleased, and his entire approbation ut i the steady/ manner with which the whole was gone through, and then his Royal Highness retired. A number of the men of the 12th Light Dra goons, who have lately arrived from France, and of the 18th Light Dragoons,' who have arrive►t iron) Irel►►nd, were present ,to witness the exer cise; we understand they are to be taught it.
