G A LW A Y, August 27.
OK Monday the 20th instant, the different corps
whch composed our late review, consisting of the
eastern and western troops of Clanricarde cavalry;
Lortha rangers ; Barony light horse; and Gort
light dragoons. The Clanricarde infantry, with
their artillery company, and two field pieces ; Tuam
volunteers, Headlord fufileers; Roxborrow volun
teers ; and Derrymacloughney volunteers, arrived in
town from their several quarters, where they were re
ceived by the Galwey battalion and artillery company,
drawn up for that purpose, under arms; and on the
evening of the fame day, the right honourable the
earl of Clanricarde, reviewing general, escorted byW
large detachment of cavalry.- On his arrival (which
was announced by the firing of several pieces of can
non) be was received by the different volunteer corps
who lined the flreets for that purpose, amidst the ac
clamations of the inhabitants, who teftified their ap
probation by a general illumination, and every other
demonflrat on of joy.
On the Friday following, (the weather proving fa
vourable) the several corps marched to the field, where
his 1. rdlip having shortly after arrived, the review
commenced, and the infantry, attended by two
companies of artillery, with four field pieces, per
formed their exe cife, firings, and evolutions wi th:
the greatest case, fleadinefs, and alacrity.—The. infan
try having concluded with manoeuvres to the entire fa
tisfadion of the general and fp^ators, the cavalry
were reviewed, and displayed a knowledge of difcipljne
that surpassed our most sanguine expectations. The
field was surrounded by ah ' extraordinary number of
persons ot the firft faffiion, who expressed their highest
approbation'and gratitude to those difinterefled guar-,
dians of their liberties. The whole was conducted
with such a degree of harmony and unanimity, as be
came the cause for which they firft embodied.
Sligo, Aug. 28. On Sunday last, o r firft compa
ny of Tyreril volunteers, and the Ballintogher blues,
paraded at Calloony, and after hearing divine service
in the church of that town, marched from thence to
Mercury, the feat of the rignt honourable Joseph
Cooper, their worthy commander, where they were
entertained at dinner, in the most polite and friendly
manner, in marquees erected for that purpose, in the
beautiful lawri before the house. The tables were co
vered with a profufion of every variety the sea on could
afford, and it may with justice be said, hospitality and
elegance were never moie g neroufly /ifplayed on any
similar ccafion. Many loyal and truly patriotic toaftt
were drank, and the evening concluded with the great
€ft unanimity.•
At the Newry review on Tuesday fennight, a cloud
Had like to have overspread the cene, and cart a damp
of )the general pleasure: the acc dental oifeharge of a
rammer in the heat of the manceutres, would have
been fatal to a gentleman of the troop of Newry Rang
.ers, but for the brass in front of his helmet.. The re
view flopt ; the firelocks were examined through the
whole line ; the unfortunate delinquent was carried
under a guard to the commanding officer, confeffed his
fau t, and hi o fentsnee of, perpetual exclusion from the
volunteer army, to which a general court martial, held
the following day, thought him, in ftrist:efs, liable,
but which the tendernefeof the court, tnd its refpeft
for the good character he received from his captain,
foftned into exclusion for two y ars * nly, has ass rded
to the vol unteers of Ireland a lesson of caution and dig
nified pride, and to the world of historical philosophy
a fubjed of curious difeuflion and wonder.
How cautious must be in future the volunteer, when
even a casual negligence may exclude him from the firft
society in the kingdom —that of his brethren in arms ?
What a body of men is that from which exclusion for
life wonid be infamy, and even a temporary exclusion
from w i ich, thought necessary for example's f?ke, is la
mented by he very judges as too grievous a punishment
for a negligence which might have t-ken away the life
of a brother soldier!
Kinfale, May 3. The count de Guichen, command
ed by captain Nicholas Anthony, belonging to Mor
laix a lu/gm private r, has taken a great number
