..52d—On the 9th January this regiment, at Barba-
does, pased a brilliant inspection before the Lieu-
tenant-General commanding the forces. The light in-

meat

were numerous, and admirably exe-
eutt.d, and the advance in line across the ex-
tensive parade ground of St. Ann's, called forth the
approbation of Sir Samford Whittingham, who was
pleased to issue a flattering general order, taking a rapid
but accurate review of the formation of the 52d regi-
ment to light infantry under Sir John Moore--tracing
-,rps through its honourable and distinguished
.ring the present discipline and excellent sys-
tem adopted in the internal economy of the regiment,
and holding forth inducements to emulate its former
glory, and to add fresh laurels to those that already
cover its colours.
