14th June, 1822.
Sra—With reference to the Circular Letter of the 31st of
January, 1811, relative to the supply of shoes to deserters
while on the march, 1 am directed, by the Secretary at War, to
acquaint you, that it has been deemed expedient to fix the future
price at 6s. per pair. The charge of the higher rate for shoes
will therefore cease in the Regimental Accompts from the 25th
instant inclusive.—l have, &c.

SCOTS GREYS.—Two troops of this veteran I egiment ar-
rived here yesterday, to be followed by others, on their route,
as it is said, to Glasgow. They are a fine-looking body of
men ; and, as they are now passing through a military county,
their appearance will, no doubt, attract the scrutinizing eye of
the would-be cavalry, who have so recently shown off amongst
us.—(Kendal Paper.)
Sir David Hunter Blair, Bart. has been appointed Vice-Lieu-
tenant of the County of Ayr, in the room of the late Sir Alex-
ander Boswell, Bart.
On Wednesday last the 2d Regiment of Ayrshire Yeomanry
Cavalry, commanded by Major F. Hamilton, marched into
quarters at Ayr for six day training and exercise.
GREENOCK, JUNE 28.—The ltenfrewshire Yeomanry
Cavalry, under the command of Sir Michael Shaw Stewa7t,
Bart. this day completed their term of permanent duty, and the
three troops of the Upper 'Ward are now on their march to
their respective districts. The corps was yesterday reviewed by
Sir Thos. Bradford, K.C.B. Colonel Smith, and Major Rennie.
The day was at the same time clear and cool ; and the rising
ground at the upper part of the park in which the troops were
reviewed, afforded the best position for observing the ma-
noeuvres to advantage. An immense cssemblage of all ranks
of spectators was early on the ground, and exhibited,
throughout, most lively satisfaction at the discipline and
appearance of the corps. Indeed, it is not too much to
say, that the manoeuvres could not have been better done un-
der the circumstances. Sir Thomas Bradford has been
pleased to signify his approbation in the most flattering terms,
and undoubtedly does nothing more than justice in the eulo-
glum he has pronounced.—Upwards of 100 of the officers and
privates of the regiment dined yesterday in the Exchange-build-
ings, after the review ; Sir M. S. Stewart, in the Chair. Sir
John Hay, of Hayston, Bart. and several country Gentlemen of
the first respectability were also present. The dinner was un-
der the judicious direction of Mr. Park, of the Tontine, and
served up in the best style. It is gratifying thus to ace all ranks
in the county, sitting down annually as brethren at the same
board, united by the best motives, and for the best purposes
—a wish to preserve the peace and good older o' their country,
to uphold her constitution, and support her lawfal authorities.
To-day the Gentlemen of the Greenock and Port-Glasgow troop
give a dinner to their officers in the White-Hart Inn.
