GRAND INSPECTIeN OF THE TWO BATTA-
LroNs OP Ft,SILIER GUARDS.—This morning, at nine
o'clock, the Ist and 2d battalions of Fusilier Guards
marched into Hyde Park, from St. John's-wood and Port-
man-street Barracks, for the purpose of being inspected.
and to go through a grand field-day in light marching or-
der, before Lords Hill and Combermere, General Sir
Hussey Vivian, and General Hutchinson, with a numerous
staff of British Officers. At half-past nine o'clock they
arrived on the ground, and the troops immediately Com-
menced operations. The firing of the 2d battalion was
most astonishing for regularity, not a single musket
missed fire throughout the whole battalion. They used
the new muskets with improved locks and percussion-caps.
These muskets are about 21b. lighter than the old ones,
and are extremely handsome. At the conclusion of the
inspection the officers and men of both battalions were
highly complimented by the distinguished officers; and at
half-past eleven o'clock marched off the ground. It is said
that all the Household Infantry will be immediately fur-
nished with the new muskets.
