" REGIMENTAL ORDERS BY THE COLONEL OF THE
98TH REGIMENT.

" Chichester, Oct. 5, 1824.

" Major-General Conran cannot sufficiently express the iatis-
laction he felt on 'seeing the regiment, and observing the pro-
gress already Made'. in its discipline. When it is Considered
that the regiment was formed from a large body of recruits
collected from all parts of the United Kingdom, utterly unused
to military habits, and left almost entirely to its own resources,
too much cannot be said, in praise of the abilities and 'exertions
of Lieut.-Colonel Fane and the Officers of the corps; and,
above all, for the mild and • patient treatment by which these
desirable objects have ben effected—at the same time enforc-
ing discipline upon youth and ,inexpetience with temper and
firmness.
• " With such a system and auch,Officers, the Major-General
is confident that in a short time the 98th regiment will prove a
most efficient corps, and a credit to his Majesty's service.
(Signed) " HENRY CONRAN,-
Colonel of the 98th Regiment."
The corps invited a large party of Military Officers to meet
the. General at dinner this day, and the band was in attendance.
On Tuesday the battalion was again paraded, for the pur-
pose of having their colours consecrated and presented. They
arrived at the Cathedral preciiely at two o'clock, where the
colours were deposited. Soon after the Lord Bishop, accom-
,panied by the. Duke and Duchess of Richmond, Lord George
Lennox, Major-General Conran, &c. &c. entered the Choir
from the Chancel. The organ commenced with one of Han-
ders.choicest Anthems, after which the Lord Bishop delivered
'a most appropriate anti' impressive prayer on consecrating the
Colours. The Major-Oeneral then handed them to the Du-
chess of Richmond, who, with all that dignity and elegance
so peculiar to her Grace, presented them to the two senior
Ensigns, who received them in a kneeling posture. After this
the Coronation -Anthem was performed, on the' conclusion of
which the Major-General made a most eloquent address to his
Regiment. The Battalion then returned to the 'barracks with
their newly consecrated banners waving in the air.
Immediately after this ceremony, the Officers assembled at
.the Swaninn, where a number of friends were invited to par.
take of a cold collation, which did great credit to the proprietor.
