When the two Regiments of Life Guards and the Royal Re-
lenient df Dorse Guards, or any two of these Regiments or De-
tathtnents fmm any of the three Regiments above named, or
any two of them shall be together on the same duty, they shall•
be considered as one Corps, or Brigade.
These Regiments, or any of them, on the Kisn's duty in
London, or where the Court is held, will receive the Orders of,
anti report to, the Sovaattou, through the Gold Stick in Walt-
lag, or in such manner as his Majesty may please to appoint.

When it may be judged expedient to dispense with the pre-
sence of the whole Brigade, one Regiment, in rotation, will be
stationed in country qua, tors.
The Regiment so detached from the Brigade will follow the
Orders of the COUMANDER4N•CHIET, or of such Gent tal or other
Officer as may cam:sand upon the station, or in the quarter, or
or camp; and may be brigaded with his M.ssarre's other Regi-
ments of Cavalry, and take their share of any duty, in the same
manner as has been the case of the Royal Regiment of Horse
. Guards, when not on the Kuna's duty in the Metropolis.
'The detached Regiment will be liable to be reviewed and
inspected by General t Scars appointed for that service, in like
manner with his Niaaarres other Cavalry.
Nothing in this Order is to affect any existing privilege or re-
gulation which has been given, or made, to or for any of these
Regiments, in regard to their Colonels receiving the orders of
the Soveasunc, touching the succession and promotion of Offi-
cers, Finance, Clothing and Equipment. Recruiting and Re-
saount, Discharging Men, and casting Horses, or otherwise.

At a dinner at Earl G***.'s, on Wednetday se'n-
v;ght, a Gentleman stated that he had witnessed an
extraordinary circumstance of a carp eating turkey ;
upon which Lord Eas****, who was present, replied,
he saw nothing wonderful in the thing, as he had all
his life known a Turkey carp-ate.
When FOUCHE was made a Minister of Lows the
Eighteenth, and CA nxor was banished, the following
Llcanic notes passed between them. CAnNOT wrote,
" Whither am I to go, traitor?" FOUCHE replied,
" Where you will, idiot!"
The violent animosity against the English nation,
at the tertninatitm of the American war, was nowhere
more remarkable than at Philadelphia. After the
articles of peace had been signed, and while a British
man of war was at anchor in the roads, it happened
that a poor puppet-show keeper was exercising his
rotation on the Quay.--" Here," said he, " you may
see General Washington and the King of France
riding on horseback, and George th'e Third on font."
Avast there!" exclaimed a British tar, who was
swaggering about on shore with a pipe in his mouth,
" what's that you ate jabbering about King George?"
-" Here," reiterated the man of wires, " is General
Washington and the King of France on horseback,
and the King of England on foot, all to be seen for
_j
one penny!"—" D-6 your eyes, then," thundered I
Jack, " now you shall see them all swim togethere
and with ene kick sent the box and the puppets into
the briny flood beneath. The unfortunate Yaakey
made vieleat remonstrances against the destruction
of his inoperry, shrewdly guessing that there must
be some treason in the .rind against-Congress. The'
populace, which had assembled, as usual, on hearing
the uproar, were highly exasperated, and poor Jack
would have paiLi dearly for his loyal principles and
ill-OmA joke, had he not suddenly leaped into the sea,
(lived under a boat, and concealed himself on the
other side till the storm which he raised had subsided.

The Chief Magistl ate of a small but loyal seaport
and borcargh town lately threatened to commit " a
%Ipr
common fellow," as the police reports have it, to jail,
for a seditious asseiti.ar, lA. that "the KINO was
born without a shirt l"
A Gentleman in a stage-coach passing through the
city of B—, and observing a handsome edifice, in-
quired of the driver what building it was? the driver
" It is the Unitarian Church."—" Unitarian!"
said the Gentleman, " and what is that?"—" I don't
know," said Jehu, " but I believe it is in the opposi-
lion line 1'

The officiating Clergyman at Astley Chapel can-
not restore due subordination among the auxiliaries
since a late dispute. Last Sunday afternoon, the re-
fractory singers were informed that other singers had
been appointed, and that they must quit the pew.
They resisted the mandate, claiming a right to their
teat; but said, that if a little singing was all that was
required, it should be performed. They accordingly
struck up the
.119th Psalm, and actually sang the
whole of that long composition, consisting of 176
verses, which lasted till seven o'clock. in the evening.

A couple having, during the week, given notice to
the clerk of one of the Chapels in Whitehaven, that
the banns of their marriage were to be put up, and un-
derstanding that their names must be placed for three
successive Sundays on the Chapel doors, requested
.that, in that case, they might be fixed behind the
door, as the Act did not forbid it. This is not unlike
Lord RCCHESTER'S evasion of the Lamp Act, who, as
elirected by that Act, had a lamp placed before his
door, but never lit it, as the .Act did not specify that
it was necessary to do so.
A few days age, a young Lady, in the neighbour
-
hod of Carlow, trying an experiment on her neck
with a silk handkeschief, to ascertain the nature of
flanging, stopped the circulation of blood, so that she
fell senseless ; and were it not for the timely assist-
ance of a Gentleman who was present, might have
paid dearly .for nher extraordinary curiosity.
• The following whimsical epitaph was inscribed on
the tomb of a Dancing-master at Brynylls, in Breck-
nockshire:
Man's life is a vapour, and full of woes;
Be cuts a caper, and down he goes!
BOROUGH INTCHEST.—The late Lord SANDWICH
having the privilege of appointing a chorister in Tri-
nity College, Cambridge, sent them one not only ig-
rlrnant musk, but who croaked like an old raven,
bee4use he had a vote for Huntingdon. This gave rise
to the following epigram:
Ais singing man, and cannot sing,
'Front whence *rise your patron's bounty ?
(;:ve us a song Excuse me, Sir,
•• My yoke is in soother County I." •
