stliste, where he immediately inspected the 3d
}loyal Lancashire, or Prince of %Vlilea's regiment ;
the Oxford ',Militia, and the West Essex, who went
through a variety of manoeuvres before him. If any
regiment attracted more notice than another, it was
the Lancashire, who made* very noble appearance:
Ibis regiment umsters WOO of the finest and tallest
men in the service. It is commanded by Colonel

till four o'clock, when he joined the Primer. The
troops acquitted theinielres admirably, nod re-
m eiveil ll,s Loyal Highness's thanks through Ge-
ueral Whitham. The German Horse Artillery were
particularly admired ; they are uncommonly hue
looking men, and are the picked into of the whole
Ilanoverian army.
Tuesday, General Whitham had again the ho-
nonr of entertaining the Prince, the Duke of Cla-
rence, the lion. Commiarioner Grey, Mr. Com-

perb military spectacle; the whole of the works,
out-works, &c. being 11)141111411 by the garrison,
about ;ono men in number.

pooTsMOUTII, OCT. 18.

The Prince of Wales has been be since Fri-
day, superintending the embarkation of the !nth
Light Dragoons, and as each division has arrived,
hie Royal Highness has gone with then to the
Dock-yard. They are now all on board, and it is
said that his Royal Highness will leave us to-mor-
row..

In taking leave of the Officers, hisfloyal High-
ness actually bur.t into tears, and evpre,:sed in the
stiongrq manner his regret at nt brill•, able to at-
l'llfll4l4lly them ; but he said. •• l give oiy sword to
Itrisadier- General Slade, rria will be at year head,
and trader false command I kaow you will like to
as Much as Ido 'kat you slwitlJ." It appears
that General Slade entered the Prince's regiment
as a Cornet, and remained in it near seventeen
years ; it is thereOire very natural they should like
to go out under his command.
