THE ARMY.

Yesterdsy,=a•eording to the custom observed twice a year, all
the troops attached to the Guards now in London; mustered
on the parade in St. James's Park, in marching order, with
knapsacks, canteens, &c., and were inspected and reviewed by__
their Colnncls,..it being the day for changing quarters.

We understand the new.unifurm of the Surrey Light Horse
combines elegance and neatness ; it consists of a short jacket,
single :,breaiikd, with a stripe of broad silver lace down the
front and round the skirts, embroidered on the back ; light gray
overalls, with a silver cord, and red horse-hair plume. This
corps, which .is the oldest one in the service, is filling up its
vacancies very fait, and bids .-fairtoyegain its forther celebrated '.

EDINBURGH, AUG. 24.—The grand Cavalry Review took
place 'yesterday on Portobello Sands. As his Majesty approach.:
ed, a royal salute was fired, and, when near the review ground,
his Majesty' came out of his carriage and mounted a grey
charger. His Majesty arrived at half an hour past one o'clock,
and was attended by many general officers. His Majes-
ty, when entering on the sands, was hailed by loud and
long continued huzzas, and frequently bowed to his gratified .
Subjects. The different corps of dragoons and yeomanry were
drawn out in line, and extended nearly a mile. His, Majesty;
with his suite'and guard of Scots Greys, rode first along the
front and then, along the rear of the line. His
_Majesty then
took a station' in the centre, and the whole troops, having:
formed in divisions, passed before his Majesty. Two pieces of
horse artillery, 3d dragoon guards, Glasgow troop of yeomanry,,
Berwickshire, Peeblesshire, Fifeshire,,Stirlingshire, Roxburgh,
Mid Lothian, and Scots Greys. After passing before his Ala-
jesty, the troops again formed line, took open order, ad-
vanced in line' : and. saluted. His Majesty then dismounted,
and entered his carriage. As soon as his Majesty had
entered his. carriage, an immense crowd collected around it and
moved with it, Waving hats and cheering most enthuSiaStically.-
The review wrikanded-it few minutes past two o'clock, when a
royal salute was fired. The various corps then began to march
to their respectiquarters.—At the desire of his Majesty, the :
Highlanders wholiave been brought to town on the present joy- ,
ful occasion were,marshalled on the review ground, in order to be
seen by his Majesty as he passed to the line. They were com-
manded in chief by the Duke of Argyll, superbly dressed in full
Highland costume; and the other chiefs commanded their re-
spective clans. Among these were Lord Glenorchy,SirEvan Mac-
gregor, Bart., Cblonel Stewart of Garth, commanding the gen-
tlemen of the Celtic Society, Lord Gwydir, and Macleod of
Macleod. Theytaluted his Majesty in the ancient manner
with the broad; sword. His Majesty seemed greatly pleased
with their manly air and martial appearance. The Earl
of :Fife marched into town at their head from the review
ground, amid loud and impassioned cheering. His Lordship
was habited in -a splendid Highland dress, with his foreign
orders; and mounted on a beautiful white horse. Thy. day was
exceedingly fine, and . never did we see a greater number of
carriages,ranged together, filled with beauty, grace, and fashion.
There were many gentlemen on horseback, and an innumera-
ble multitude on foot. All seemed to be in the highest spirits,
and to' admire- the scene with the keenest pleasure.—The
77th regiment furnished the guard of honour at Holyrood
.House on the -isth instant, the day of his Majesty's entry into
this city,-the first-guard of that description which has mounted
for more than ri,tentury and whalf. This respectable corps has
had the high honour of being selected to perform the duty over
the King!Sduring person at Dalkeith Palace, his Majesty's stay -
in this country ; the command of which duty devolved upon
that meritorious Officer, Major Maclaine, who has lost a leg in
the service of his country. This distinguished Regiment has
been distributed in almost every part of this kingdom for nearly
the last twelverrionths.

DEAL, AUG. 26.—The brig Zephyr, of Sunderland, arrived
in the Downs this morning from Jamaica and Havannah, for •
London. The Maiter communicates, that when off Cape
Antonio, on the-6th.ult., he fell in with a Piratical schooner, of '
about 60 tons, painted black, mounting two carriage guns, with
a crew of thirty men; they boarded the Zephyr and carried her
close in to Cape Antonio, and there anchored. The following
morning, at day-light, they obliged the crew of the brig to
hoist out the boats, and to take the cargo out, consisting of
indigo, coffee, rum, &c.; putting the passengers on board the
schooner; they then tied the Captain, the carpenter, and another
person,. to. the pumps, and made a fire underneath them in the
half dech,declaring, with the most horrid imprecations, they
should be immediately burnt,.with all on board, if they did not
state where and what specie there was on board, of which they
appeared to have had previous information. The Master then
told them, and they took about 10001. in doubloons and .ef- •
fected a generel.Plunder both of the cargo and stores, not even - •
sparing the earrings from some of the female children who were -.-
passengers. It may be material to add that they took many .• •
articles masked with the vessel's name, which may by possibility s
lead to detection. The Master further states that, after re,
ceiving the most 'brutal treatment, they were permitted to pro-
ceed. A system of piratical depredation appears to have long •
existedabout Cape Antonio, which requires the most vigilant -
attention of our cruizers. The Zephyr fell in with an American
frigate the following day; and communicated- the particulars to
her Captain, who promised to go in immediate search of the.
Pirates. •

EXTRACTS FROM DULY MORNING PAPERS,

Avgust 152`2.,

[MORNING! POSI4.I'
received, last night, Paris Papers to the
25th inst., the contents of which are somewhat
remarkable: It is announced that" a camp is
about to be formed at Lyons, and that 10,000
troops, destined to form part of it, were expected
to arrive with, the least possible delay." For
what purpose so powerful an armament should be
-wanted in that quarter, if all the late rumours of
apprehended danger were without foundation, it
is difficult at present to imagine: A short time,
however, will doubtless enable us to develope
the mystery.- These Papers are for the most
part fill6d With the interrogations of the indivi-
duals charged with conspiring at La Rochelle,
and from' the nature of. the evidence hitherto
produced, it would' really appear that the plot
was one of those expedients adopted by the
Police to implicate'and get rid of men who are
suspected of being still attached to' the ancient
order of things.
