GRAND REV!EW.

Yesterday at nottuslOw Heath a RevieW of
Cavalry took place before his Royal Highness the
ItEp-ENT, consisting of a complete brigade,
formed out of the Ist and 2d Regiments of Life
Guards and the Oxford Blueg. The road to
Hounslow (ruin Lo 1 11(M11 was, at a very early hoar,
crowded with vehicles of all ki'uds, and every horse
was put in requisition long prtv:ous to the day
'appointed for the review. Fortunately the
weather proved favourable, and rendered the
sight much more pleasing than it otherwise tvould
have been. The ground chosen for the re-
view on r.ie 11e.tth was allsoted to the
purpose, being very even and sulli.•iently
A detat.liment of the 13th Light
.Diagoous kept

the ground. At about half-past I I o'clock, thu
PHI NCH REGENT arrived at the Heath, from Hamp-
ton-court, where his Royal' Highness had break-
fasted, He • MIS apparently in excellent health,
dressed in a Field-Marshal's uniform, and accom-
panied by the Dukes of YottE. and CUMBERLAND,
the Marqui, of WoacesTEtt, and several General
Officers. The PRZNCE took his station in the
centre of the grown!, attended by the guard of
honour. Upon his first appearance, the troops,
which wcre directly in front of his Royal High-
Hess, filed off, and gave the usual soirue. The
whole brigade then fell back, and slowly marched.,
in divisions before the PRINCE, forming them- •
selves into squadrous at the farther end of the
field. The troops then fell into line, ranked off,
and marched before his Royal Highness, single file,
each regiment occupying the space of a quarter
of an hour in passing. A column was then
formed, the whole brigade fell into line, dis-
mounted, and marched on foot in troops before the
PRINCE, right and left. Having again mounted,
they passed his Royal Highness on full trot.—
These ceremonies having been concluded, the ma-
neetivres commenced ; and although few in num-
ber, they were executed with great neatness, re-
gularity, and. compactness. Having marched and
conntermarehed from one end of the ground to the
other, a line was formed on the aft squadron of
the Ist Regiment of the Guards, and the brigade
wheeled round tight and lett with great adroitness.
The whole body then retreated in squadrons, and
formed six completc lines, each regiment falling in-
, to two lines. The Ist Regiment of Life Guards then
advanced, and made an excellent charge with the

utmost velocity and regularity. The Oxford
.Blues, as soon as the Guards had filed otf in divi-
sion, also charged, and welc followed by the 2d
regiment of Guards. Each regiment made a se-
parate charge, and subsequently filed off, retreat-
ing to the farther end of the field. A complete
line was then formed, and the grand charge of the
whole brigade succeeded. This was certainly a
charge performed with much compactness, regu-
larity, and velocity, and proved the good order
and discipline of the troops. The brigade then
filed off, and fronted his Royal Highness, conclud-
ing with a salute.
The Officers of the Ist Regiment of Life
Guards, who are quartered in the barracks on
Hounslow Heath, had prepared a cold collation
for 300 persons. They laid out tables under
marquees for the purpose,.suflicient to entertai!4
that number. Tie officets of all the different
(!siments in the field were invited, together with
the Earl of Harrington,. General' Barton, and se-
veral other persons •of distinction, besides their
private friends. To this entertainment the parties
invited sat down between 4 and 5 o'clock, and
-were highly gratified. An excellent military baud
played during the repast.
The Review commented at about half-past
eleven, and terminated at about three o'clock.
,vhen his Royal Highness dismounted., and set off
it) his.carriage towards London. In passing he
was received with the loud acclamations of the
populace, and seemed in high spirits. His Royal
Highness expressed himself' extremely gratified
in witnessing the different evolutions of the troops,
and was highly pleased at their good discipline.
Neither the Duke of WELLINGTON nor the Mar-
quis of ANGLESEA were'present, the former being
at Faris, and the latter, we believe, at the Isle of
Wight. It was confidently expected that a sham
tight would have been exhibited, but no such
thing took place : none but the ordinary manceu-
vres were performed.
