The different corps were disposed y
in the following manner :
Capt Morris's troop esconed the Countess of Berkeley to the
ground, and took their station by squadrons u;rort the right
and left of thestand appropriated firt her Ladyship and her
friends. The Hon. Capt. Moreton's troop politely kept the
ground ; and the three other troops formed uoun the right of
the line The two held pieces belonging to the Berkeley Ar-
tillery were stationed upon the flanks of the Infantry. The
Seven' Rifle Corps were upon the lit of the line; the other
corps of Infantry formed according to seniority ; and the Stan-
ley Rifle Corps were posted between the Cavalry and Infantry.
The at rival of th • Countess of Berkeley upon the ground
was announced by a discharge of the artillery, wheo the hue
took open order, and received her Ladyship with the usual
salute. The Countess then, reseurted by the Gloucester
Cavalry, and attend 0d by the EMI of Berkeley, Lord Dur.lry,
the Ileri. Angrist es Berkeley, &c. on horseback, passed d nen
the line in art open landau, in whish she was accompanied by

The Tetoory and liorsiey Crops aft-rwards advanced in line is

trimn in their rear The Cotrti•l we.e then presented by Ito
Countess to Colonel Ssanders, whom she Wrested in the ful-
-1°,1,1 terms :
" Sirs—sTo such men a. coinpose the Volunteers of this
countrv, from me few words can be neccssay. They nobly
End wire Englishmen should de, against the numerous foe
rcaily to erulook for our shores, and will,, rf opportunity offer,
prove theinsel,m worthy of the name of Britons: I, therefore,
have only to sty, that I tru4 this Standard, which I am now
honoured by presenting, will be the bond to strengthen that
union, which, in a short time, mud convince, our enemies
that Eigiishincit can only bee to be free. Sir and Gent!emeti
allow roe to say, how *nimble I am of the honour conferred
upon me; and that I beg to thank the whole body of Volun-
teers assembled here on this occasion "

To this atmropliate speinh, the Colonel made the fuilowing
suitable reply :
" Madam—s The Horsley ansd Terbury Volunteers are triily
sensible of fin great honour which is conferred upon them
this day, by Iteviait their 9111,41 ads presented to th.:in by the
Countess of Berkeley. If ever they are called into the field of
saw's, mir they be imenrerl with the courage which has been
ever adlier.nst to the Beikelev family from the reniiiv.:4 ages.
History informs us of their b :log helve in the field,' loyal to
the ir King, and, um all UCCISitIIIOI, standing tenth to .uppth t the
just rights and liberties ref the people! Animated by such ex-
araplos, we have post on the garb of 'WIWI/ ; and, whatever
may be the proud boastisigs cal the French, if they laud on our
shines, I am enured, they will fin I this,.as well as the wlnsle
body of V.llllllletli of the Nation, men fighting for every thing
dear to theinwAtiglisltmen in defence of their hing, their
Laws, their Religion : and, whatever may be surrnsed by our
furs, I know that the Volmitcers well consince the world they
deserve the name of Soldiers and thstons

Then, after delivering the culoun w the Ensigns, be ad.
(hewed them at fnlline. :

" yoar care I entrust these colour., pre
'tented be the COUlitela of Iterkeley. If ever you have the
honour of carrying, them into the neA of battle, you will not
lose them without your lives; you will hold them wale you
have breath; nay, you will ram them in death: and when
the Almighty shall Weis this country with peace, you will re
turn Meru without a stain, as a trophy elite bravery and loyalty
of
tli lAN/tree Voluirtme,"
Fmsign•Davies made a manly and spirited reply to the ad •
dress of the Colonel ; after which the colours were eonvetrat•d
in a Very solemn manner, by the Rev. Mr. Davis, vicar of
Tetbury, who delivered :m impressive reyer.
The regimental colour, on one Ade, bore the fellowing in•

in▪ Defence of onr King and Country.."..-Tke Ktag $ standard
was ornamented in the usual manner. _

The ceremony of consecration being finished, the Tetbury
and Horsley Corps resumed their framer station, and the other
corps deployed upon them. The whole then wheeled into
open coluinn of companies, and pasted the stand in slow and
oak k time; after which they re formed the lure. They next
chanted front ti the right about, by a counter-march of com-
panies on the centre. The line afterwards changol its front to
the kilt about, by a counter-match through the centre, and re-
pented the trtmer position, be the left wheeling into line: the
charier of front to the left exhibited a novel All.l very pleasing
mairreuvre, and was performed with the greatest alacrity and
precison. Thee Mull took open order, the whole extent of
line tolutinc ; when Lieutenant-Cohinel Probyn, the Inspect.
ing Field Officer, went dorm in front, and thanked the re-
spective Commanding Offizers, requening that his urionalified
approbation of the banners of the day might be communicated
to each corps.
They all then marched off the ground for their reepeaiwe
homes, the Countess of Berko-Icy being attended by the Glou-
cester Cavalry, as before. Her I..arlyship was elegantly dredied,
in a military habit, of Or uniform of the Royal Gloucester
Militia, and looked extremely well. After the busineta of the
field, the fashionable friend. who accompanied the Connteo,
together with many of the officer. of the variursrs corps, par-
took of an elegant eollaiern provided for the occasion; and
the whole party separated, highly del;ghterl rich the am.able
and fascinAing condeseention of her Lads ship, arid the truly
animating and brilliant military -Tome e winch they had
