they matched and formed a line on the Woodbridge

brigade of gulls commanded by Capt. FRY RR, of the
royal Refinery, was Rationed at about fixty yards dif
tance in front, and the whole was under the immediate
command of Lieutenant-General Lord FerzieoT, af-
filled by Major• General Roarresom. The line, con-
filing of nearly sOOO men, when thus formed on an
eminence, had a very grand and intereiling appearance.
About half paR ten, the reviewing General Sir Janes
Puvrsetir. arrived on the ground. attended by
Major-General SHIREROOKR, and a numerous fuite
of Ralf officers, together with at large portion of the
officers belonging to the garrifon of Colcheßer. The
Genet al's appearance was announced by a difcharge
from the brigade of artillery, and on his approach-
' ing the centre the whole line prefented arms, mufic
playing and Officers fainting. On taking clofe or-
der, two rounds were fired by half companies from
centre to flanks, after which the line was thrown back
into open columns of companies, left in front, and on
the march formed two feparate lines, the one advan-
cing in front, and the other in referee; a line of co-
lumns was next formed, from which the feveral bat-
tPlions deployed into line on the grenadiers of the
Shropfhire regiment, and immediately afterwards the
Shropfhire, commanded by Lord BRADFORD, the
Hertford, Lord BALIIIIURY, and the Well Suffolk by
Lord EUSTON, paffed files to the front in quick time
from the right of companies, and lined the oppofite
hedge in extended files, and kept up an independent
fire in a moll capital (Lyle, without a moment's inter.
million for upwards of a quarter of an hour,when they
retired, and were fucceeded by the EMI Middlefex,
Colonel WooD, and the Berkfhire, Colonel RATEN•

from centre to flanks. After a variety of evolutions,
the line was again formed, when it advanced in open
order, and concluded by a general falute ; after
which the feveral vestments marched pall the Gene-
ral in ordinary time to the barracks.
The weather was remarkably fine, and the ground
crowded with carriages and fpetlators of every de
fcription. Sir Janes Ptrursasy expreffed himfelf
highly pleated with the appearance and Readinefs of
the men, as well as the celerity and precilion with
which all the movements were carried into execution.
It is the opinion of Tome high military charaElers in
this diftria, that an expediuon to the Continent will
frailly take place.
