RUIEW OF THE SCOTCH wars.

Yenerday morning being uncommonly fine,
there was a great concourfe of people affembled
on Athford Common by eight o'clock, to witnefs
the Review orthe Scotch Greys. At a quarter
pail nine o'clock, this renowned Corps, ht num•
ber about Soo, entered the ground. A finer fet
of men we have never feen. Their horfes were
well matched and beautiful. About too of the
irh Light Dragoons kept the ground. The
crowd of falbionable Company that attended was
uncommonly numerous. There were upwards of
fifty Gentlemen's carriage:, and gigs, &c. beyond
number.
At a quarter pail ten his MajzsTv entered the
ground on horfeback, accompanied by General
GARTH, and efcorted by a party of the t Ith Light
Horfe. The King" was received by his Royal
flighnefs the Panics of W* Las, the Dukes of
You and CUMEIRLANDo and Lord CA THCALIT.
Colonel BOTHWILL gave the word of command,
and the manoeuvres were as follow r--

His MAJISTS, with much condefeenfion, re-
turned the bat falute, and exprefed hintfelf highly
fatisfied with the dexterous manner in which the
various evolutions were performed. During the
Review, the Ktao converfed.very often with his
Royal nghnefs the Duke of You, Lord ern,-
csar, and General GARTH. The Palace Of
Waits was on the right of the field, in company_
with Tome Officers. Nib MAJISTIr rode a feta
brown bode, and looked uncommonly well. The
Duke of You rode a grey horfe. The Sword er-
ereife kited nearly an hour, and gave unirerfal
fatisfaaion. The effea of the funleams en the
bright arms of the Scotch Greys was fo effulgent,
that it quite dazzled the beholders.
.The t nth Light Dragoons marched aaively
round to keep the ground- clear. Another party
ferved as an efeort to his Majeßy. With the ex-
ception of a dangerous fall by one of the Scotch
Greys, when the boric tumbled with him, and his
foot got entangled in the airrup, when fortunately
his boot came off, no accident worthy of notice
happened.
As Coon as his Msiarry returned the Corps his
thanks on the occafion, his carriage was drawn up,
tehenihe entered, attended by Gen. Guru and
Lord CATRCART. The Royal Carriage drove off,
a few minutes paR twelve, to Windfor.
The number of fruit and ether Rails, which ens

tended along ate fide of the Common was at no
time furpareel by any fair. 'There were alto fe-
veral carts, loaded with porter and Other liquors.
The crowd would have . been much more name.'

Skew was to be on Wimbledon Common, whither
vat numbers flocked. Among the company on
