MONDAY His Excellency the Earl of Mot RA re-
viewed, in Burntsfield Links, the First Regiment of
Royal Edinburgh Volunteers, commanded, by Lieu-
tenant-Colonel the Right Hon. CHARLES Hoi.F,
Lord Advocate of Scotland. The Regiment muster-
ed very strong, made an excellent appearance, and
went through their evolutions with the greatest ac-

curacy.
After the review of the First Regiment, the Edin-
burgh and Leith Troops of the Mid-Lothian Light
Dragoon's were reviewed by Earl Mot RA, and went
through the cavalry exercise and charges, much to the
satisfadion of his Lordship.
Tuesday the zd Battalion of the Second Regiment
of Royal Edinburgh Volunteers, commanded by
Lieutenant-Colonel JAMES HOPE, were reviewed on
Leith Links, by His Excellency the Commander in
Chief. The Regiment went through their different
evolutions with great dexterity and exactness, and
received the thanks of the General fur their discipline
and military appearance.

The following effusion of taste and sentiment was
written by Mrs. LENOIR, a daughter of Ci-ittisto-
PIiER SMART, whose name wil! always stand high
in the Poetical Records of this Country, The fair
Author has recently shewn hereditary talents, in an
interesting Work, entitled Village Anecdotes.

TO !PINTER.
WHAT tho' for thee no warbler sings ;
What tho' for thee no zephyr blow ;
What tho' for thee no virlet springs,

Nor chaplets deck thy hoary brow ;

Yet I will bid thee welcome stiji ;
To me no hateful dreaded guest :
Boast Spring or Summer as they will,
Each owes to Winter half its zest.

Tho' rarely smile thy sternness move,
Tho' thy dread voice no echoes rend,
This seeming harshness still can prove
The wholesome vigour of a friend.

Thy hard my sinews well can brace ;
Light is !ay heart, my spirits gay ;
With glowing cheek, and quicken'd paces
Untied thro' rugged paths I stray.

What tho' no tender foliage deck
The rated grove in vivid green ;
Yet oft desclied.thro' many a break,
The distant lamise.ipe smiles between.

Then with light step and hunger keen,
Back to my rural home I haste,
And find, untainted with the spleen,
My sober meal a rich repast.

With food enliven'd, not oppress'dp
When.friendly atm ,begins to fail,
I take the Author I love best,
And tnen my nobler mind regale.

And as stiil evening closes in,
With hearts united, cares at rest ;

Tito' dark without, 'tis gay within ;
We find no WINTER. in the breast.

The Royal Horse Artillery, under the command
of Capt. GR /FFITHS, have Marched from Poole to
their old quarters at Christchurch, from whence they
were removed on account of the late Eiedion.

The Devizes Volunteers are to march into Poole
on permanent duty, in the course of the present

week.

A few days since, in removing part of a mound
of earth, to make the outer entrance into Tyne-
mouth Castle more suitable f )r the ingress and egress
of heavy pieces of ordnance, vast quantities of hu-
man bones were found, supposed to be the remains
of bodies buried there after the storming of the Castle
in 1648, by CROMWELL'S I'roop4, under the com-
mand of Sir ARTHUR HASELRIG.

On Tuesday last the General Assembly of Scot-
land took under consideration an overture from the
Presbytery of Annan, respeEting the profanation of
the Sabbath, particularly by the fishing of salmon on
that sacred day. After reasoning, the Assembly,
upon a motion made and seconded, came to the fol-
lowing unanimons resulutinn :—" The General
Assembly,,considering it as of infinite importance to
the religion and morals of the people of Scotland,
that the I,ord'i Day be effectually guarded from
profanation ; having learned with deep concern.
that, not withstanding the provisions made by the
ancient laws of Scotland,' for enforcing the obser.
vance of the Lord's Day, the business of salmon
fishing is carried on within the Presbytery of Annan,
upon that day as upon any other ; and being in.
formed that a Bill is now, or will soon be brought
before Parliament; for regulating the salmon fishings
in the Solway Frith, they appointed the Moderator
and Procurator for the church to correspond upon
this subject, in the name of the Assembly, with the
-Members of Parliament who introduced that Bill,
and to request the assistance of the Lord Advocate
of Scotland, in obtaining the insertion of a Clause
which, by an increase of penalties, or in any other
way that to the wisdom of Parliament stall appear
most proper, may restrain in time coming the abuse
and profanation of which the Presbytery of Annan
have complained to the General Assembly, and to
report to next Assembly." •

Wednesday, the Assembly heard a Petition for
John Samson, merchant in Kilmarnock. Mr. Samson
had been married some years ago, and having applied
to the Minister to have a child baptized, it was re-
fused on account of alledged fornication said to have
been committed by him about 15 years before, unless
he would appear and be rebuked. This he refused ;
and the mother iii the mean time becoming sponsor,
the child was baptized. The matter was brought
before the Assembly, by an appeal from the sentence
of the Synod of Glasgow and Ayr, remitting the
cause to the Session of Kilmarnock. The Assembly,
after hearing parties, • and reasoning on the c.ise,
unanimously reversed the sentence of the Synod of
Glasgow and Ayr ; found, that in respea of the
special circumstances of the case, it was not exr-
&tient to revive the scandal against John Samson ;
and remit to the Kirk Session of Kilmarnock to al-
mit him to church privileges,

DUBLitY,

YEOMANRY REVIEW.

ON Monday last, the several Yeumanry Corps
of this City met by agreement in the Phcenix Park,
in order 10 a review of exercise, under the.direc-
tion of Sir CHARLES 2k,orLi.. Several of the
County of Dublin Corps attended, by invitation, to
keep the lines during the review. The litter were
on their ground at nine o'clock in. 'the morning ;
and we must say, that in our recollealon of Military
Reviews, we never saw Lines so carefully maintain.
ed.
The following City Corps were in the field

C. Av A i,R .--Lawyers, Merchants, Rotunda, Officers, At.
totnies, Stephen's Green, Commanded by General ARCH.

Sipare; Attornies, Circular Road, Rotunda, Linen Hall,
Barrack, Revenue.
Right Wing, Gen. DuNtl—Lett Wing, Gen. LEITH.
The whole commanded by Major-Gen. Sir C. A soiLL.
About twelve o'clock the, Commander of the
Forces entered the field; his approach was annonn-
ced by seventeen guns froM
,the Castle and Linen-
Hall Artillery, p mted on' the flanks and in the
centre of the Infantry LineS. • . .
The whole of the Cavalry and Infantry, which
had been formed in four columns, now, upon a sig_
nal-grin, by an echellon movement deployed into
line, and saluted the Commander of the Forces, who
rode in front and rcre of the Line, inspeding the
wh,,le. Upon another signal, the whole line wheel-
' ed backward into columns of companies, and passed
the Commander of the Forces in ordinary time to
their former ground, where they again formed into
line.
The Brigades then advanced in echellon and fired.
The Line then changed position, and advanced,
firing by alternate Brigades.
The Line again charrd position, and fired
by Corps ; opened ranks, saluted, and marched off
the field by Corps.
When the review of the City Corps had ended,
it was signified to the County Corps, who came to
keep the Lines, that the Commander of the Forces
would inspeft them : they accordingly formed in
the following order :
CAVALRY. Rathdown, Rathiarnham, S. Fingal.
li*/FANTRY.—Rathdown, Dundrum, Laughlinstown,Rane-
lagh, Donnybrook, Palmerstown, 'l3aggotratn, Sandy-
' mount.

Having saluted the Commander of the Forces,
they passed him in column to quick time ; and
about seven o'clock in the evening marched off the
field.

The number of Yeomanry present we suppose,
to have been about soon.

The following General Orders to the Yeomanry
were issued on Monday evening last :

G. 0.

Dublin, May 21, 1804.

" The Commander of the Forces,.requests Nlajer- Gen. Sir
CHARLES ASG IL L, to convey his Tha.iks to the Yeomanry
of Dublin, and of its immediate vicinity, ter the gratification
he has nad in seeing so numerous au assembl..ge of their re-
spcdive Corps this morning in the Phoenix Park.
It is but justice to the Yeomnry, in expressing his en-
the approbation of the appearance and pertbrmance of their
Corps ( which exceeded his nr,st. sanguine expectations), to
declare eye contd.:rice which he has always felt, but in"
which he is still more cuntirined by every opportunity he has
of s:eing them,. that their intrepidity and good service iii the
hour of danger, will be equal to their appearance and to the
character of loyalty and zeal they have so justly acquired.
" That danger, and the serious events of War must he ex-
cannot he denied ; but nothing will tend more to
preserve Ireland. from the mischiefs of Invasion or Insurrec-
tion, than the constant and unremitting vigilance and alert-
ness of its Yeomen."
