COMMANDED BY COLONEL ROBERTSON.

It having been generally known that this was the
day on which the Royal Regiment of Waminffer
Volunteers were to hear a Sermon, and receive their
Colours, an amazing croud of fpatators of all fixes
and denominationvwas collated in the Rreets through
which the regiment was to pars to St. Clement's
Church, appointed for that ceremony ; St. Ann's,
Soho, being at prefent under repair.

Ezaaly at ten o'clock, the Regiment paraded in
the King's Mews ; and at half after r I marched, in
grand military array, along the Strand; the windows
on each fide of which were Med with beautiful and well
dreffed women, waving their handkerchiefs in appro-
bation of the conduit of thofe who, with loyal promp-
titnde, thus Rand forth in defence of their King and
Conßitution at the prefent eventful period.

In their way to St. Clement's Church, the Regi-
ment formed on both fides of Norfolk.fireet ; whence
they marched into Church, the body of which they
completely occupied. The galleries were refereed
for the accommodation of filch perfons as were for-
tunate enough to obtain tickets of achniffion ; and
never on any former occafion were they fo elegantly.
or numeronfly attended.
After the Volunteers were all feated in the church,
the Colours, which are thofe that belonged to the
former Corps of Royal Weßnaineer Volunteers, were
unfurled on each fide of the Altar. Prayers were
then read by the Rev. Dr. Lswasncs ; in the inter-
vals of which. Anthems from the 46th Pfalm.-.-" 7/0
Leapit ear deems and aide" and from the Oratorio of
Judas Maccabees—" Swiste4 Am/ ens alarm." were
fang, at which Come proferional Gentlemen, not
in uniform. and feveral Gentlemen belonging to the
Corps. afSfled ; after which a very appropriate and
impreffive Sermon was preached by the Rev. Joann
Curate of St. Ann's, Soho, and Chap-
lain to the Corps, from the ilth chapter of the fc-
cond book of Samuel and toth verfe, " Be of rat
corr.'s : play the am* ow talk awl for the cifie, of
err Loeb; aid the Law do that which to him famed
tred l!"'

When the fervice was over, the letters of the Mar-
quis of Tiros/tamp, Lord Lieutenant of the County,
and that of the Srisast of the Houfe of Commons,
together with the Thanks of the Houfe of Commons
to the Volunteer and Yeomanry Corps, were read.—
After which Colonel ROISIVIIOII delivered the Co-
lours to Mr. Jameson, who returned them to the
Enfigns of the Regiment. This ceremony over, the
regiment again paraded in Norfolk.fireet, with the
exception of the grenadier company, who efeorted
the Colours to the left and right with the music and
drums, the regiment prefenting arms. They then
marched, with colours flying, to the King's Mews :
thence, after halting half an hour, they repaired to
Hyde Park, where they went through their mama-
ores, preparatory to the infpation of the regiment by
the Earl of HARRINGTON. which will take place as
foon as the remainder of the arms, for which an or-
der has been given by the Marquis of Ts IT rt are
delivered from the Tower.

This fine Regiment is complete one thoufand and
forty-three, and does infinite credit to the military
talents, patriotic zeal, and aSduity of Colonel Ro-
BIRTION, by whom it has been brought to loch a
high Rate of diicipliae ar renders it fit for any fervice
whatever.

The day being uncommonly fine, awaited a pro-
digious concourfe of fpedators to the Park ; and, we
are happy to add. that no accident whatever hap-
pened to detrad from the fplenclour of a (nee at all
times exhilirating. but molt fupremely to at the Kt-
fent period. when all that malignity, cruelty, and
violation of every honell and honourable prisciPler
which marked the beginning of the French Revolu-
tion, fills the breatt of one tyrant at this advanced
Rage of it, and is direded by him againa the peace
and profperity of this country
