at eleven o'clock, and was received with the general astute.

The line, whichwas formed frith the rear to the carril..eheeled
back into opea column, and marched past in slow and Quick time t

Major-General Woodford, Who commanded the whole, pities:tided
nest to maneruvre the troops.
The battalions were then ordered to form dine in rear of the ea-
luting point, by wheeling cothpanies in succession, two wheels tii
the right. The Grenadier Guards and the 3-1 regiment formed the
first line; the Coldstream Guards formed the second line, at batta-
lion disianee. The lines advanced In double column of conibanies
front the centre of battalions; the columns of the rear line covered
the openings of the first line; the columns halted, formed line td
the front, and advanced in lines. The lines retired in echelion 01
bait; lions from the left, at fifty pares distance the second line re-
gulated its distance, Se. from the first line. Slitutes were iapidf;
formed on the centre of battalions; columns were reformed rid •
vanced in columns of attack, by echellon from the right. The fired.
line deployed into line; the second line moved to the left, and de=
ployed evotence ; changed position to the rear on the right;
formed columns at quarter distance. right ha front del the centre

mild columns of route; advanced in sections right in front t
changed direction to the right, wheeled into line, and gave the ge

The whole of these movements and evolutions were rapidly and
edmirably elmeutecl. The advance in columns of attack ay echel:.
lon from the right was grand and imposing; the formations into
square, the reformatibns into column, and the general changes of
position, were performed a-Idt eltraordioary celerity and precision'.
The advance in line, the retiring in rebellion of battalions from the
left, and the advance in double columns of companies front the mut
of battalions, were fine practical specimens of British diucipllne. KB'
the rapid movements and formidable fire of the royal artilleiy, lit
suppdrting and covering the different manoeuvres of the troops, It
would be difficult to speak in adequate terms of praise. The gun;
were admirably served. The Commander-In-Chief eit pressed his on:
qualified approbation of the evolutions of the different battilidni.

It was fully three quarters of an hour before any could be obtains

chiefly of timber, the flames made so,moch progress, that it be.
