tance in the Bay. They announced the arrival of the
Prince of WALES and the Duke of CAMBRIDGE, at
Gloucester Lodge, haviag. that morning reviewed,
near Warden Cade, on the Dorchester Downs, the
German Legion, the King's Own, and part of the
10th Dragoons, with the 2tl Sonr.rset Militia, and
one of the Devon.-.:The troors were on the Downs
early in the morning, with, a large concourse of spec-
tators but the Royal Brothers and suite did not ar-
rive till nearly' three o'clock, when the review com-
menced, and a'auperb spectacle it was; the cavalry
going through a variety of evolutions w:th rapidity
and cJrrectness, and the infantry equally as exist:rt.—

ov.:n regiment, with gold spars and stirrups; his
Royal Highness never looked better. His favourite

ingly daring and eager while on duty. He.has been
upwards of 70 years in the service. During the re-
view a messenger arrived to the PRINCE with an ac-
count of 12,000 Spaniards having revoltelefrom the
French, and declaring for their brethren in arms, w'io
had put themselves under the protection of the Brit sh
fleet. An evident appearance of good news was lien
by the surrounding concourse, and shortly after the
whole of the Legion joined in singing a German.
song. .General Liastaciest and his Officers gave a
most superb dinner at Scriven's boardinghouse to the
Royal Brothers and their suite. Upwards of thirty
persons sat down to the grand military treat. In the
evening there were fire-works let off fram a boat sta.
