To the great fatibfaitiun of the inhabitants of Win.
chefler, their old favourites the Q2een's Regiment,
have lately returned to them. At the fame time
they parted with the 7th and Bth German Regiments
with much regret.

That very fine corps the lath Light Dragoon,,
commanded by Colonel HAWKI.I., is on the march
to Dorchelier.

of Lieut. Colonel Dun., matched into ilighton, and
drew up on the Steyne, where they received their
Colonel, General Run, with three cheers. The ve-
nerable General feemed ,to fluke his years away, as
he approached his Regiment; he grafted his cane,
and appeared to affirrne a firmer pace than he was
wont ; as be palled along the ranks with the Colonel
be minutely infpeaed every officer and ((tidier. He
afterwards addreffed the Colonel and Officers in the
moll waltz) and expreffive manner, retutnedthem his
beft thanks for the uncommon fine order and appear-
ance of his Regiment—he declared that he never taw
fo fine a corps; that this was the happiell day be
bad expetienced for years.
The Regiment halted on the Steyne for two hours,
and the Band played feveral favourite Itifh airs with
infinite tafte and execution, which awaited the Wren-
lion all the fafhionables. The Steyne was more than
ccnimonly crowded.

The Officers, after partaking of a cold collation
with their Genetal, marched with the Regiment for
Shoreham, on their route to Portimvnth.

The veteran General appeared like Narroe, fur
rounded by his Officers; on parting he followed them
with his eyes, whila in view, and, on lofing fight of
them, heaved a figh, which timed to fay,., Wou!d
to GOD I were fifty fummers younger, that I might
accompany thole fine fellows on fervice, and (hate in
the glory and laurels they will earn." The Oencial,
who has jull completed his eighteenth lull? urn, being
go years old, ditched tbe parmaller to pay,•on his
account, reel. for vegetables and other comforts for
the men, on embat king. We underfland alfo, that
