GRAND REVIEW.

The Grand Cavalry Review on Hounslow Heath,
proved on Fritlay the great attraction of the day.
The road to the Heath was covered by company of
the first distinction, or of great respectability.
The ground was kept by detachments of the 10th
Light Dragoons, and of the City Light Horse Volun—
teers; The Regiments reviewed were the first and
second Life Guards, and the Oxford Blues. Including
a detachment of the Scotch Greys, which were station-
ed about the person of the Prince Regent, those which
kept the ground, and those which passed in review,
the numbers of the military assembled on the Heath
amounted to about 2,500 men.

At about half-past eleven the Prince Regent accotre•
panied by the Duke of York and other General °di-
cers, uppeared on the grotetd. lie was received in.
the usual manner, was in good health and spirits, and
evidently took the most lively interest in the scene.
BeSides the Duke of York, his Royal Highness was
accompanied by. the Duke of Cumberland, attired in
a superb hussar uniform An open landau was drawn
up near the carriage of the Prince, in which the
Duchess of Cumberland, and several attendants, were
seated, who seemed to derive the most unqualified
gratification from the exhibition of the day. The
Marquis of Worcester, Lord George Cavendish, and
many other Noblemen, were present.
We shall not fhtigue our readers by detailing with
military accuracy the various and complicated =men-
vres which the regiments reviewed were called upon to
execute. It is sufficient to say, tl at all that coal de-
monstrate the utility and importance of covers
action, was successfully displayed. The Prince; by his.
directed all the evolutions of greatest
importance. Shortly after one, the troops dismounted,
went through their exercise as infantry, and us such
pn.s.sed in review. Nu firing took place, but by his
commend the troops reviewed charged in three divi-
sions, the Oxford Blues flaming the centre division.
Their several charges were admirably executed. The
three Regimeuts subsequently charged in line, ad-
vancing in full gallop. The regularity of their march
was equal to its rapidity. The extent- of the Lne---
the velocity of the advance, and the perfect arrauge-
menu which arrested attention and &mended applewe
in every part of it, were fit subjects for panegyzie.
After one of the charges, a horse was discovered
without a rider, prancin4 over the field, as if anxious
to resume it.; proper station. The Prince observed the;
animal, and remarked, with much concern, that a man
had been dismounted. The seldier had, in the third
charge, been precipitated over the head of the hore,,
awl subsequently trampled upon by his comrwlere
Though severely hurt, he was, able, .with s.m.ie assist-
ance, to walk off the Heath teweids the Barracks.
This, we believe, was the only accident of tbe. day.
At three o clock the Review concluded, when the
Prince Regent, after complimenting the Ofacerat,ri the
appearance and exemplary steadiness of the
soldiers, took leave of them, and immediately left the
ground.

By a letter from an officer on board the Batavia,
which sailed from St. Helena, on the of May, it
appwrs that Iltionaparte has rOcovered from his sulky
tit, and condescends to take what exercise ho gun, Ll 6 ho
finds he cannot take what he wished. He has pro-
bably rAiriquished.all hope of benefiting from a sea
rv~age.
Paris Papers to the 231 inst. have just arrived. The

King on Sunday ; and it is again reported that a fur-
ther diminution of the Allied Artnio; in Franco is to
