ROYAL REVIEW ON HOUNSLOW HEATH.

The grand military spectacle, which has been an-
ncer.ced for several days past. took place yesterday
on Hounslow Heath. The regimants fixed upon as
objects at royal inspection, were those which had so
eminently distinguished themselves at the ever memo.
table battle of Waterloo. There were the Ist and
2d regiments of Life Guards, and t.l;e Oxford Blues.
The other Waterloo heroes, who did the atistilrary
duty were, the Scots Greys, and the 13th Dragoons.
During the preceding week the privates of the 2d
Life Guards, the Banes, and some of the 13th, were
quartered iss the different inns and public•honses of
Brentlotd, Hounslow, and the adjacent villages, pre-
paratory to the intended review. The hrst Lite
Guards have been sta'inned in the barracks at Hotin-
low •Heath. At nine o'clock yesterday morning, these
fine regiments were stationed in the great plain on the
eastern side of Hounslow Heath ; each being about
half a male distant from the other. About ten o'clock,
the Scots Greys came upon the wound from their
quarters at Richmond, and the adjacent villages.
Tl.e duty assigned to these and the 13th Dragoons,
was to keep the ground, which was marked out by
aud comprised a space of two miles in length
an one mile in breadth. The two regiments of Life
Guards amid 'he Blues are perhaps the finest in point
of _appearance and military discipline that ever existed
is any country. Their uniforms, treed from the ab-
surdities by which they were lately encumbered, are
commodious, and their helmet; are classically formed
upon ancient models; the men are youthful and strong-
bodied; and the horses are marked by beautiful pros.
pnrtiun, agility, and Wiwi'. These were the troops
which the Ptitacat Rumor, duly appreciating their
eminent services, came to honour by his notice and
inspection; and the Waterloo medals, those emblems
of victory and glory, which most of the men carried
on their bosoms, made no small addition to the in-
terest ilf the scene, which was about to take place.
About eleven o'clock, the three famed regiments
were statioutd near each other in open columns. At
half-past eleven the approach of the Putsce RecaNT
was announced, and the order was given for the.
troops to form in line. This operation was performed
in an admirable manner; it was almost instanta-
neous; in less than one minute, a line of one mile in
extent was formed ; and the front and rear ranks were
separated from each other by an interval of several
yards. The Persrs,. dressed in a General's uniform,
accompanied by the Duke of Yoax, diessed as a
Field Marshal ; the Duke of CUSIBSIKLAND, as a
Hussar Officer ; and a suite of Officers, came upon
the ground, and proceeded slowly along the line from
right to lett, saluting the different squadrons as he
passed along. When lie reached the end of the line,
his Royal Highness and suite turned to the kit, and
proceeded along between the front and rear rank,
until be came to the point from which he had set out.
His Royal Highness then went forward and took his
station in front of the line, surrounded by the Staff
and a detachment of the Scots Greys. The troops
passed along by half squadrons, marching abreast;
they afterwards marched along, each man separate—
an operation which took up more than an hour. The
troops then drew up in lines, were dismounted, and
manoeuvred in the manner of infantry by being made
to perform various evolutions of marching in line,
column., Sec. Afterwards they were ordered to
mount their horses, apd they marched round the field
in quiet time. The neat operation was that of wheel-
ing in by squadrons from right to left, and from left
to right; in this there was annie mismanagement,
owing probably to.the fatigue and inexperience of the
horses. The regiments then made a rapid movement
from left to right, shifted their original position and
took up a new line, in which they continued for some.
time. The troops then resumed their original line,
retreated considerably to the rear, and formed them-
selves into three divisions. The first division ad.
vanced, and made a grand charge f the second next
advanced, and made a similar charge; the third made
another charge with equal precision. All the troops
then retreated and formed into one grand line, rank
aod filet by this time all the regiments were ordered
to make one general charge in front of their line.
this was performed in a manner that at once de-
lighted and astonished the beholders. The rapidity
and violence with which the troops advanced, and the
momentary terror which their approach created, made
one suppose that a formidable enemy was advancing,
until the word halt" was shouted forth, and then
tarry thing was tranquil. The general charge left
an impression upon the mind t f every body which is
not to be,dcsc..,,, J. After one of the charges, a horse
was discuse ...t1 without a rider prancing over the
nth!, as if a 111UUS to resume its proper station. The
Palace observaid the animal, aud remarked *4lll

much concern. that a nsan had been dismoumed.
The unfortunate soildier had, in the third 'chargr, been
precipitated over the head of his horse, and subse-
quently trampled upon by his comrades. 'l'hough
severely hurt, he was able, with some assistance, to
walk off the Heath towards the Barracks.
After three o'clock the Review concluded, when
the PltiliCE itzorter, after complimenting the Officers
on the martial appearance and exemplary steadiness
of the soldiers under their command, took leave of
them, entered his cirriage amidst the shouts of the
surrounding spectators, and immediately left the
ground.
The visitors on the field to behold the review were
numerous beyond description; they consisted chiefly
of pedestrians from London, and Gentlemen in their
carriages from the neighbouring districts. Among
the equipages from London we obserVed the Lunn
hlnvoit, the LADY MAYORICAS and family, in a landau
drawn by tour grey horses.
