TEE ARMY.

GENERAL ORDER.—HORSE-GUARDS, JULY 8, 1820.
The Commander in Chief has bad occasion to notice the
irregular practice adopted, in several instances, by the Offi-
cers of the Army, of wearing plain Clothes at their Regi-
mental Quarters; and this Irregularity having caused a
serious obstruction to
.Discipline upon a particular and recent
occasion in a Regiment. of Cavahy stationed in the North of,
England, His Royal Highness deems it essential to enjoin
Officers Commanding Districts and Regiments to take special
care, that no Officers under their Command shall ever appear
at their Quarters without their Uniform.

By Command of his Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief,
H. TORItENS,' Adjutant-General.

Query:—Does this Order extend to his Majesty's Life and
Foot Guards? Vertiuns set. We know that they are excep-

tions to general rules in many respects, and will) regard to
rank are substantially henefitted in more instances than one.
It has often been suggested by the author of a Military Work,
that the duty of the Palace should be done in rotation by the
whole Army—the KING would then be enabled to see all its
component parts; and the mischiefs arising from habitual
rebidunce would be prevented.
A CORRESPONDENT.

Yesterday morning the Ist and 2d Regiments
of Life Guards, and the Regiment of Royal
Horse-C uards Blue, were reviewed on Hounslow
Heath, by his Royal Highness the Commander-
in-Chili', attended by a numerous train of General
Officers. It was reported that his Majesty was
to have been present, but the weather and a slight
attack of the gout prevented it. A party of the
12th Lancers kept the ground : the remainder are
doing duty at the Horse-Guards.

tended by several Military Officers, inspected

TO W. WORDSWORTH, Ma:
With thee, divine Philosopher, I gazed
Upon the mighty bills at dying day:
-The prodigal dements around Ms lay
Rock'd like a babe to slumber ; the sky blazed,
Rich with vermilion fires, whose hue embraced
Woods, rucks,—the hike in its romantic pride,--
And then a flying sunbeam we descried
• Brightening up half the valley ; Night erased
Too iotin the' expressive picture, hut my heart
Locked it as in the casket of sweet thought,
Sacred to future fancy. Hast thou part
In the tine dream, Or is it all forgot?
Oft on the fairy Spettatle I brood,
The flowers, the hills retuiri—i.rale—water—woOd—
And thou—the beautiful Geoids of the spot.
