GRAND FRIG ODE HYDZ PARK.

Yesterday the following corps were brigaded in
Hyde Park : The Royal Pimlico and Chelsea, the
St. George's, Hanover Square, St. Giles and St.
George's, Bloomsbury, the St. Margaret's, and
the Westminster. They arrived on the ground at
ninovicleck, and by half past nine were drawn up in
line, waiting the coming of His Royal Highness the
Duke of York, and the inspeCting Officers, before
whom they were to be manoeuvred. The line ex-
tended from the Riding House towards the Serpen-
tine, and presented a line military speftacle. The
old 'it. George's took the right, the Royal Pimlico
aed Clio ea were in the center, and the Westmin-
en son the left, with the Duke of Cumberland's
Sharp Shooters.—About 11 o'clock the Duke of
York entered the Park, with the Dukes of Clarence
and Cumberland, the Earls of. Harrington. Chester-
field, and Chatham, Lords Hobart and Petersham,
Generals Manners and Boriard. the inspelting Field
Officer, Lieutenant Colonel tenkinion, one of the
?rend] Prith.es, end several distinguished officers.
l'he brigade having saluted ia the usual man.'
ner with hands playing, &c. commenced its
evolutions within a very extensive square of
ground, kept by a party of Lord Cithcait's regi-
ment of Horse Guards. Many excellent charges
were then made, and the brigade having formed
again in line, in the order before mentioned, ad-
vanced towards Kensington Gardens as to attack an
enemy. The. Duke of Cumberland's Sharp Shooters
were posted on the left wing among the trees, where
they praCtised the stratagems used for annoying an
enemy, with great facility ; sometimes firing on
their knees, again lying, and as suddenly removing
in a manner that excited the admiration of the
speetators. As the brigade advanced, the Light
Company of every corps fell out in front, about
200 yards distant, and at the sound of a whistle
fired as they Lay on the grass, then rose and
ran forward to another position, repeating the ma-
meuvre, until called in by the main body, which
halted, and opened a heavy fire from right to left.
His Royal Highness the Duke of York, and suite,
remained in front of the brigade, near two hours ;
during which, it went through a variety of other
movements, with great order and precision. The
St. George's, on the right, then wheeled, and. pre-
ceded by their band. marched close before the Royal
Party ; as did the other corps in succession ; the
whole presenting a most pleasing sight. The mu-
sic played during the time ; and the appearance of
their gay colours, gently waving in the breeze, was
beautifully picturesque. His Royal Highness the
Duke of York moved his hat to the Officers, who
lowered the colours as they passed ; and the brigade
having proceeded towards Piccadilly-gate, *epee
rated, and went to their respeetive parades.
The spefertm s were exceedingly numerous. Ma-
ny women of fashion were observed wiann the
bounds kept by the guards.
