columns to the reverse flank, on the leading battalion, thus in-
verting the other order of battalions; each battalion then coun-
termarched by ranks • which recovered the inversion, and gave
a contiguous line of columns, left in front."
Great celerity is given to the movements of extensive bodies,
particularly in all changes of front to the rear, by the applica-
tion of battalion movements on their own ground, so as to in-
vert the order of a Brigade or Division : This inversion can
never be attended with any embarrassment or confusion what-
ever, provided a Battalion is in itself never inverted ; and a
change of front can by this means be accomplished in an ex-
tensive line, or in line of contiguous columns, in the same lapse
of time, as a single Battalion (4t.); whereas, when it is per-
formed by the whole line (B.), the time of execution is aug-
mented in a corresponding ratio to the number of Battalions of
which it is composed ! •

It may therefore be laid down ass General Rule, that great
bodies may be inverted, without any liability to confusion, in
the order in which their component parts (Butt,alions) may have
been originally laced ; but that R
in attalions are never to he in-
verted the order in which their Companies are arranged by
the eatablished formation.

WHEN A BRIGADE lIALTED IN LINE (B.) TS TO CHANGE
'ITS FRONT TO TILE ituAtt UPON THE CENTRE.
Upon the Order—The Brigade will countermarch upon the
Centre—The two centre Companies upon which the Counter-
march is to be made, will be named—and immediately upon
the caution, they will Countermarch and change, places. The
BattuliOns of which these Companies form a part, and the re-
maining Battalions on each flank of them, will then receive
from their respective Commanders, the words—Threes Bight
and Left, flight and Left countermarch, according to the flank
on which they are placed, and upon the signal to Quich March,
they will countermarch. by Companies to the right anti left, ob-
servtng that the Company on the.right of the Brigade will circle
round to the extent of the depth of a Division, to leave room for
'the other Companies to pass each other. The whole will thus
form line to the rear as directed.
WHEN A BATTALION lIA.LTED IN LINE (A) IS TO CHANGE
ITS FRONT TO THE REAR, UPON Tim CENTRE.
Upon the caution—Change fmnt to the rear upon the centre.—
' The Colours will countermarch ; the two covenng Serjeants of
the two centre Companies change places, and will taka the
pointit of formation to the new front, covering upon a centre
Scrjeant. The leaders of these Companies will then face them
outwards, and will, countermarch to the right, and change
,places by files. .
The Commander, in the meanwhile, will give the word to
the other commies threes outward • and, upon the word quick
or double march, the companies ofi both wings will counter-
march to the right and left, and will pass each other by the
left, those of the right wing describing a circle in their counter-
march, the depth of a Sub.divi,ioa, to leave room for the
others to pass.
Each Division will be halted in its relative.fio.
sition to the new front by the words front, torn, halt, dress
tip, from its leader ; and will form upon the coverers, who will
run out as usual. Vide movements in Battalion from Line

had given him that day, and exhorted them them to persevere,
notwithstanding the great majority they saw above him. • If his friends would redeem their pledges; he should yet succeed ;
and to give them every opportunity of doing so, he determined
to keep open the poll to saw last moment.
This declaration ached some disapprobation from the oppo.
site party, and Mr. ),1001IE came forward to urge Mr. Gill-
man 'a trim's to come up early, and render such perseverance
utterly useless. In the course of his speech he made some ob-
servations, which Air. flainworth warmly contradicted. Ile
declared that there was a combination against them. This was
denies! by Mr. Moore. Much anger was manifested by the
friends of Mr. liainworth, and some altercation took place up-
