VOLUNTEERS. WE have seen in an Edinburgh i'aper the follow ing Order's and Instructions issued by the Command'. ing Officer of the First Regiment of Royal Edin burgh Vt,tanteers to his Regiment. They form such an excellent compendium of the very best ad vice that can be given to Troops of any kind, but particularly Volunteers, that we think we are ren dering a service to the Country by giving them every possible publicity, and, we have no doubt they will be read with satisfadion, as we are sure they will with advantage, by all descriptions of Military Men. Ist Regiment R. E. V. REGIMENTAL ORDERS. • Vin.6urgb, Oct. 113, 180. Lieutenant-Colonel Hors congratulates the Gentlemen of he Regiment on the distinguished appearance which they made yesterday, and on the marked approbation which was bestowed on them by Lieutenant-Generat VY SE, command ing His Majesty's Forces in Scotland. ' The Lieutenant-Colonel has also the pleasure of assuring the Regiment, that their appearance and discipline received the unanimous approbation of the other General Officers present, and likcw - 6e of His Grace the Lord Lieutenant of the County, himsel fan excellent judge of Military Duty. The Lieutenant-Colonel, however, trusts that the Regi ment will consider, that the objed of their labour is not the parade of an inspection or Review, but the serious and im portant duty of qualifying themselves to defend all that is dear to them, against an implacable Enemy, whose avowed intention is the utter ruin and extirpation of the People of 'lbis Country : he trusts, therefore, that the Gentlemen of the Regiment will not allow their zeal to abate, but will persevere in such attendance during the winter months as shall, at least, prevent them from forgetting what they have already attained; for nothing could he so absurd, as to acquire such a state of discipline as they have done, only to lose it as fast as possible. When all the Gentlemen of the Regiment are returned to Town for the winter, the Lieutenant-Colony will make such an arrangement for Exercise, as may enable every Gentleman to attend, at least once a-week, which can not be t hardship or inconvenience to any one. In the mean time, the Lieutenant-Colonel earnestly exhorts them still to examine and keep their firelocks in the very best order ; and all of them, but especially such of the Regiment as have not been much accustomed to fire-auns, to form themselves into small squads for ball praaice. The Lieutenant-Colo nel intends to institute Prites for firing at a Target, to be shot for by such Gentlemen of each Company only, as shall declare upon honour, that they have 'fired forty rounds of ball between mith Odlober and the 19th November. FOlif tidies will be given to each Company :—One for the best shot:--One for the second bat shot :—One for the greatest number of balls through the Target:---One for the next number. In other respeas, the Regiment may have a better oppor. tunity of improVing their discipline than by private drills of their own, as Lieutenant-General V . v sr. has signified to the Lieutenant. Colonel his intention of brigading the Volunteers, and of having several field-days with the Troops hi the neighbourhood of Edinburgh. For this reason, although the LiouteriantiColortel never wishes the duty of the Regiment to interfere with real business ' , yet, on the other hand, and considering the state of the times, he hopes that no Gentle. man, Officer or Private, will lean quarters except on para.. cular business. In the view of the Regiment being called into OW ser vice, the Lieutenant-Coloncl thinks it necesury to issue or ders applicable to that event.—As it is the first duty of a Commanding Officer to attend to 'the health of those un der his charge, the Lieutenant-Colonel assures the Regiment that he will not permit a single Gentleman, 01110er, or Pd. rate, to march out of Edinburgh on service, unless he is pro vided with a flannel under-dress. This is at all times the best clothing for a Soldier; but for a winter campaign, in such a climate as thil, and with constitutions not accustom ed to hardships, it is essentiallroccessary, and on no account will bedispensed with. .. In this Regiment; the Officers cannot be permitted to have any indulgencies or accommodation beyond the Privates.— They must, therefore ; march with their whole baggage. on their backs, of .which the Lieutenant-Colonel will set the example, never mounting his horse, but for the purpose of command. In camp or quarters, no distinction of tents or rootiwwill be permitted. Officers and Privates must fare alike, but the Officers will mess together, as i t will give op. portuoities, not otherwise to be easily obtained, of convers ing on many points of regimental ditty. _ The horses, which by the King's regulation!: are allowed. to the Officers; will he appropriated to general purposes. The only exception to this is to be in favour 'Mlle Chaplain, adjutant, and Surgeons. Every Officer and Private, therefore, will immediately pro vide himself with the following articles, and keep them con stantly packed up In the neatest and most compael manner. I Worsted or Flannel Night-Cap to tye under the chin. I Flannel Underwaisicoats, with sleeves, or at lea , t halt sleeves to the elbowi, and to come.Wel) down over the loins. Pair of Flannel Drawers. $ Pair thick Worsted Stockings, or Ancle Socks. Fair of Strong Shots'. tOne of these to be on the feet, and the other in the knap sick .1 s Pair of Worsted Gloves. s Good warm Blanket—one Blanket easily rovers two men, and to be so used, if the cold requires it. Comb, Brush, and implements for Shaving, but as few as possible. A piece of ripe Clay, and Blacking Ball. A few needles, and worsted and thread. rack Gentleman may also bring with him his ordinary Great Coat, as the Blanket renders it less necessary to have proper Watch Coats. Each Officer and Private will also firovide himself, entire. pair to the Alarm Post (On the north-side 'cif St. Andrew's square, unless differently ordered), With 4 lib. of Biscuit or Bread. IlaveiJacks,Canteens, Camp-kettles, and Bill-hooks, are to he issued to the Regiment from the King's Stores. Knapsacks will be furnished out of the Regimental Fund. On halting for: the day or night, the Lieutpant-Colonel earnestly revommends,, that no Gentleman shall lye down to steep while warm, or with wet feet,—but, however fatigued, always to take .tima to cool gradually, and to put on his dry . atm:kings and shoes. In case of being very wet, it 'is highly ustfat to rub the body'and limbs with spirits,'want if pos sible, taking at the same time 'a mouthful, and not more inwardly, diluted with warm water, if m ,to bei,. Gentle., mat will see the propriety of not taking too much money with thew, or two guitlos at ttlotA, 'wily in ciivcr, will be sufficient. As to the Field, the Lieutenant-Colonel has little to say. Much will be expeCted by their 'Co s untry front such a Regi ment. The Licutenaut.Colonel has no anxiety on the sub jec'},• except from its impetuosity. If the Regimeni were adiug singly against another small body, this might produce no had died. But acting in combination with other Troops, perhaps in the centre of a line or chili? of posts; all move ments must be relative, and.,by rushing forward prematurely, • the Line may be broken, other Regiments. or rosts'exposed to be taken in flank, and,the whole plans. of the Commander disconcerted, by the nce,essity of suppoiiing,a ix% witiCh has improperly pushed forward, or reinforcing the post it has quitted. The Regiment therefore will recoiled, that true Courage consists as much in staering as in acting: as much, or more, in coolly facing danger, as in furiously rushing on it. There is little probability that the General will allow young and high spirited Troops to be long galled by distant fire.— The Regiment may be assured that they will be allowed to dos,: with the enemy whenever it can be done to advantage. When that moment comes, the Lieutenant-Colonel re minds the Regiment of the instrudions he has been incul cating on them at drill, to make their charge With the ut most steadiness and precision, so that all parts of the Line, by coning in contad • with the Enemy at the same instant, may support one another. The leading Company will take care not hurry too much, but to carry on the Line, so that each individual may preserve the entire command of his person ; that he may be able freely to use his bayonet, not • only to thrust, but to parry. If the charge is made with too • great rapidity, the Line will be broke—one part of the Regi ment will be cut to pieces before another comes up, and the whole will rush on certain destrudion ; whereas, if the Charge is made steadily and correctly, the auperior strength and impetus of this Regiment must bear down whatever is in its way. If the force of the Enemy, in immediate contaEt with this Regiment, be broken, the pursuit is by no means to be made without orders. It may be necessary to wheel to the right or left to support other parts of the Line. In firing, the Regiment will see the folly and danger of firing at random. if their fire is inelEedual, they may as well stand to be shot at with ordered arms. Every indivi dual must take a steady aim, so as to he certain that his shot will take place in some part ofthe platoon Opposite to him. If the smoke prevents the Regiment trom seeing the Enemy's line distindly, they will always see the flash from the muz zles of their muskets, by which the Regiment can dired its own tire. In short, let the objcd rather be to keep up a weli-direded, than a very quick tire, always remembering that as little time be lost in loading as possible. It will be the business of the supernumerary rank. in the rear, to look over the shoulders of the ranks in front, and to coned any error in the aim. When Prisoners art taken, they are to be immediately dis armed, and passed to the rear. lithe Regiment (which is not likely) should be charged in front by Cavalry, they will on nu account fire till ordered— and then only the two front ranks ; the front rank taking aim at the horses, the centre rank at the men. If the fire Is reserved, and then given, within a few yards, in the faces of the Cavalry, one half will drop, and the horses in all proba. bility, will carry the other half to the right about; and, at allevents, if the:Regiment will only receive them steadily, without breaking, though the whole may be overthrown, very few will be killed or hurt. Receiving a charge from Cavalry, each rank will charge their bayonets, one over the other. The supernumerary rank to close well up to the rear, so that the Cavalry may have no time to make a cut at them: Should the Regiment be drawn up on a beach to oppose the landing of the Enemy, it will probably be ordered to re. serve its fire--as the horizontal lire of rausquetiy against men welt covered in boats must be very inerfalual. 'ln such ' cases, it is only cannon which can play on the Enemy with The Battalion, therefore, will reserve its fire till the boats take the ground, when each Offleer commanding a pia. toon will pour In his fire on the boat opposite to him, at the instant the Enemy expose themselves, by rising up in the boat in order to leap on shore—a well direeled fire against min so huddled together, must be destrudive, and the Bat.. tallon will instantly give them the bayon e t before they have time, to form and recover from their confusion. It is hardly possible that any troops can withstand this .mode of attack whereas, if met only by a distant fire from the heights, they will sutler little—will infallibly land arid form, and press on with all the spirit and advantage whiclinsUrtilY attend the assailants. This was precisely the error which the French committed, when opposing the landing ofour troops in Egypt. Should the boats of the Enemy be fitted with guns in their bows, the Battalion will endeavour to shelter itself behind sand-hills, walls, or broken ground, while the Enemy pull for the shore; and it will not be advanced to the beach, till the boats are nearly aground, when, of course, the enemy cannot give above one discharge of their guns, which beam. log useless the moment they attempt to land, the Regiment will attack them as already directed. Adhering tothese hints—steadily obeying orders, restrain• ing their inipetuosttyt-and lighting with the cool determined courage of their native minds, instead of imitating the in. toxicated and blind fury of their r tretr4,' and above all, call. in g on the God of Battles to aid them in the preservation of those blessings which Ile has Conferreitilph them, this Re.' giment may hope to render essential service, and to merit a large share of that glory which shall be acquired by all the Forces of their Country, in repelling the threatened Inva. lion. - By Order of the commanding Officer, !MIN WHYT, Capt. and Adj. tat Rest, R. E. V, General Moarrist has sent two of his Adjutants to Schwerin, to demand of the flute of Macitt.att... aultott, that he would send the Hanoverian Mini.. sters out of his Territories, and would restore all the eireds belonging to the KING of ENGLAND, which had been secured in that country.

JiUdV LACY Pgainst HUD 24R6 AND ANOTHEiI. MR. MARRYAT opened. the P:eadings in this case, from which it appeared that this Adion was brought for goods solo and deiivered to the amount of med. ExstaNr, who opened the Plaintiff's ease, observed, that it lay within a very narrow com. ,asses---that this Aaiun we ,s bron!,ilit by the Plaintiff, who is a rope-maker, to recover 7591. fair cordage, furnished to a Mr. Henry Wilkinson, who had be. come a Bankrupt ; but who then was in partnership with Mr. Hubberd, and on whoce joint credit the or. : der was executed by the Plaintiff. This cordage was intended for a new ship which was built for these Gentlemen, called the Youiig newsy. Wilkinson wa,4 desired by Hubbard to bespeak the Cordage, arid the Plaintiff entered it in his books, " to kinion and Co." When the Ship was finished, Wilkinson being then in falling Circumstances, the Defendant proposed the Regisier should be taken out in the name of Wilkinson only. Lord ELLENROROUGH here asked, if the credit had been given by the Plaintiff priiir to that period ? Mr. ERSKINE replied, that it had, and that. he should prove that fact to the satisttaion of his Lord. ship, and of the Gentlemen of the Jury. Mr. Wilkinson, who had obtained; his Certificate; 14' a competent Witness to prove that fad. That Gentleman was examined by Mr..PARK, and said, that he and Mr. Hubbard were Cnrieerned in this Ship, the Young flenv, before the date of the new Register. tie was the Managing Owner during the building of that hew Snip , and gave di. reetions to the Builder, lie mi,ght have communica. dons with Mr. Hubbard during. , he building, but riot particularly. lefrit to him. He wai considered as Agent for the whole, He believed he was so con. sidereal hi the Defendant. The amount of the cordage was about i 591, and he was satisfied all the articles were fairly supplied. The Ship was regis. tered in his name only. Mr. Hubbard wished to decline having any thing. to do with her previntls fo the time when it was necessary to take out a Re.- gister : That was after the cordage had been sup. plied. Mr. Hubbard said he was tired . of Shipping Concerns, or words to that efred. The Witnoc allowed him his Share back again .by giving hint credit for it in their accounts. •On cross.examitiation by Mr. C 1 . 11 us, be said no other person appeared in it but him, He was the ostensible person, and when the Ship was built, Hubbard was to have a share in it. He ordered the Ship, and Hubbard was so take a share with him. Mr. Ginas, on the parr of die Defendant, en. deavoured, by .cross.examining this Witness, to shew that, originally, the Defendant hail no concern with this Ship, and that it was only in. tended he should have a share after the , Sip was built. But he failed in making that fan out to the satisfaaion of the Jury, in as much as the Wit.. ness positively swore that he conceived they wer e originally jointly concerned, and that it was set on foot for their joint benefit. Mr. Gt a us said he had no defence. Verdiet for the Plaintiff.--,Damages Seven .Hun... dred and Fifty-nine Pounds Eighteen Shillings. Five other Causes .were called on ; but 'as the' Patties were not ready, they were obliged to be withdrawn, and the whole business of the day was concluded about ten o'clock. • •' The PRI NCR of WALts's absence from the Vo, lunteer Review, which has been attributed to many causes, was certainly owing to His Itoal Highness having found there wasp some apprehension of speedy Invasion, which rendered it necessary for him to attend the post assigned to him should the Country s '" be in danger. This post is at the head of his Re.. giment, where he is e er forrni n g the duty of Colonel with the most uoreinitring attention, no otiier Mi. litary Situation for the defence of his Country being allotted to him. There is no truth in the statement made in 'eve. , ral of the Papers, that many of the Hanoverian soI. diets who have come over here from Hanover, have been enlisted in the Marines; they are all engaged to serve in an Hanoverian regiment which is to he formed in this Country, and for no other service. It is Hts MA EStY'll orders to forward every Ha noverian soldier arriving in Greatllritain to the de. pots of the new raised Hannverian Corps without delay, and no Recruiting Officer is permitted to en. gage any man enlistedlor the Hanoverian Corps.
