GRAND REVIEW AND afilllf F.GH7

Yeflerday was appointed fors grand esercife and
di(play of the abilities of the following Corps of Vc •
lunteers :

The Hon. the Artillery Corps, Colonel Curtis.
The Chrift Church and Lambeth Loyal Volunteers, Caloric/
Slade.

The St john's Loyal Volunteers, Major King; and
The tit Surrey, Colnel GaitiltilL
This brigade was fuppofed to be the Englifh part v;
it was commanded by Colonel Curti., under the di•
ration of a Colonel from his. Majell y% regular fos crs.
The fuppofed French were corriman2ed in chief by
Col. Hardy : they confined of the following corps
The Wandlvrotth Light Horfe, Capt. Tritton.
The Clapham Volunteers, Col. Prefcott.
.fhe•Camberwell ditto, Col. Smith.
The Wandfworrh, Major Edwards.
The Tooting, Capt. Lord. •
The BenweU and Weymouth; Capt. Weymouth.
The Batterfea, Capt. Horncattle.
At a very early hour the lalt mentioned brigade
polled themfelves in a very flrong politis.n near the
fpot which had been at firlt determined on. Colonel
Cur:it and the attacking army muttered, at Cumber.
land Gardens, at tea o'clock, from whence they pro-
ceeded to Wandfworth. At twelve, they fell in with
the out-polls of the army, denominated French.—
They were boon diflodged from that potation, as.the
others had not the difficulty of difembarking as was
at fira propufed. In French Horn Fields,•the victory
appeared to he leverely concerted; the riflemen of
the oft Surrey, and the fharpfhooters attached to the
Honourable Artillery, fkirmithed in molt afire and
fatiguing ltruggles with the Clapham and Camber.
well Light Infantry. The latter, however, were
repeatedly beat back; and the main body, after va-
rious fhiftings of potation by the Elcbalon movement,
retreated up hill, through the church yard and town
of Wandfworth, the out polls being clofely engaged
almoll all the way. On Wandfworth Common Co-
lunel Hardy rallied Ms forces, and drew up in order
of battle to meet his purfuers. They advanced in
three columns, and then formed themfelves in differ-
ent lines, with the artillery field•picces on their right.
Culcnel Curtis fent forward the cavalry, which made
an excellent charge,, with a view to turn the right
wing of the advancing army, but was twice repulfed.
There was here fomething that could not be Paid very
clofely to refemble real action. The cavalry retreated
in a moderate pace in front of the enemy, palling
from one end to the other of the line, fo that if it
had been a real Isaac force, the whole mutt have
been cut to pieces. Howev:r, there was borne ex-
cellent manmuvring between the main bodies, and the
light troops on both fides difplayed the utmoft promp.
titude in all their motions. The retreating army after
borne heavy firing moved round into Nightingale-
lane, and feveral enclofures round it. They made
an excellent retreat under cover of their light com-
panies, who kept the out.poßs of the advancing army
conflantly on the alert. Hedges, ditches, and garden.
fences of all defcriptions, were made ufe of as the
means of retreat and cover. The tft Surrey Rifle
Corps was extremely alive in the purfuit. A bridge
in Nightingale lane was warmly contelted for by ftreet-
firing from the two main bodies, and by the mum&
ing Aftivity of the light troops near the handfome
Cottage of Surgeon Lynn, and round feveral neigh.
bowing gardens and demefnes. After the fuppofed
French were completely beaten out of the lane, they
drew up on Clapham Common, where they Inflained
a rnoll incredible continuance of round firing in
the manner of hedge firing. At length their ammu-
nition was fuppofed to be expended, and they ceafed
firing. The Britith force then beat a parley; this was
not anfwered from the other fide. The Staff Officers
then advanced, in order to have a conference with
thole of the other army, but the whole line advanced,
and the officers were under the necellity of falling
back on their own army. After tome conference
between the Generals on both fides, the conquered
marched forward with drums beating, colours flying,
&c. the oppofite force in return prefented arms, they
both played national airs, and then the corps that
belonged to the neighbourhood marched to their
quarters, whilft the Honourable Artillery and other
corps that went from town partook of a foldierly re-
paft upon the turf. The day was extremely fine, there
was a great number of people on the ground, but we
did not hear that any material accident occurred.

Saturday the Marquis of Burs and Suite arrived
at the Tontine Tavern, Greenock, on his way to
Mount Stewart.

Friday the Aberdeen Volunteers, commanded by
Lieutenant Colonel FINLASON, had a grand field day
there, in pretence of the Right Hon. Lord Jullice
CEBU, the Magiarates of that city, Colonel TINLING,
and feveral other officers, who expreffed themfelves
highly pleafed with their appearance and difcipline.
Great hopes are Gill entertained by Government,
that MUNGO Pm, the enterpriling Traveller, may
be living, and occupied in the purfnit of the im-
portant skied of his million to Africa.
A reprefentation has been humanely forwarded to
his Majefly's Miniflers, from Glagfow, in behalf of
Alexander Munroe, fentenced to death at the Old Bai-
ley. Before he left Glafgow he exhibited molt une-
quivocal fymptoms of mental derangement.
DAVEY LANs TNIATRI.—On Tuefday night, the
Tragedy of Pizarro attraled an overflowing Houle.
Mr. ELLISTON, we believe for the &It time at this
Theatre, perfonated Rolla : his performance was cor-
ral, and his fuccefs in this heroic, and noble charae•
ter, was greeted with merited plaudits through the
whcle of the Play. A Gentleman, named Portia's,
made his debut as Alonzo, and acquitted hirnfelf with
' confiderable drat : his figure, voice, and manner,
continually reminded us of Mr. H. Si rime s, to whom
Mr. Purmaa bears a flriking refemblance. Mrs.
Powfixt was a good Elvira. In the mufical enter-
tainment of The Poor Solder, Mifs DAPONTE made
her third appearance; her longs were well executed,
and The Friend and Pitcher was enthufiaflically ad-
mired. Her ailing is at prefent a little rearained.
COVENT GAIIDIOd THFATAII.Lati night the Pro.
ivied Hvjhand, and Lock and /Cry, were performed to
an exceedingly well filled Houle. The charafters
were filled as haft feafon, and the pieces reprefented
to the heft advantage.
About three o'clock cm Saturday afterna a ig le
broke out in a gentleman's houfe at the eaft end of
Greenock, which at one time bore rather an alarming
a -pea; but, by the immediate exertions of the ram'
and neighbourhood, it was got under with no other
material injury than burning a part of the roof.
