But his Royal Highnefs and fuite did not arrive till
a quarter part eight. He came on the ground from
the right, and a Royal feline was fired, commenc-
ing with the twelve pieces of Artillery on the right,
and taken up again on the left, till the whole was
completed. The Review then took place in the fol-
lowing order, viz, on his Royal Highnefs coming to
his poll in the centre, the line took open order;
officers faluting and dropping colours. The Line
(bouldered by battalions ; and his Royal Highnefs
gaffed along the front, and afterwards in the rear ;
where the recruits of the different regiments and Ar-
my of Referve, were drawn up in a lecond line to re-1
ceive him.—He came round by the right of the bri-
gade, when the line broke into open column and palT:d
firft in flow time, officers fainting, and afterwards in
quick time with doled ranks.—The line was then
again formed for the manoeuvres, but owing to the
extreme wetnefs of the day, and the troops having
loaded prior to marching round ; there was hardly
•ne firelock in the battalion that went off.—Some ra-
pid movements were exhibited by the Cavalry and
Horfe artillery, while the regiments were advancing
in line, and forming open columns in the rear of the
grenadiers of the Eaff Norfolk, from which they de-
ployed into line by the Echeltrn movement, which
was very corretaly perfoimed : feveral of the manoeu-
vres were neceffarily omitted from the cattle already
affigned, and after the line had performed the general
falute at open order, his Royal Highnefs, accom-
panied by hi+ brother the Duke of CAMBRIDGE, Sir
Jamas Ca•ta, and fuite, fet off from the Heath in
their carriages for Chelmsford, to review the Guards,
&c. and the regiments then returned to their quarters.
His Royal Highnefs expreffed in warm terms his fa-
tisfallion both with refped to the appearance and
manoeuvres of the troops, to the Hon. General LUD-
LOW, commanding the brigade, and netwithftanding
the badnefs of the day, a very large concourfe of
people attended.—Exclufive of the officers already
named to be prefent, we obferved Generals Mar-
it Las ; Hon. J. Hors ; Colonels CaLverr,
Lsrrar-
Dt HL, and BIRCH ; and a great number of other
officers from the different encampments.

CH ILMSVOIID, Auo. 3o.—This day H. R. Highaefs
the Duke of YOR It, as Commander in Chief, accompa-
nied by his Royal Brother, the Duke of CARIBRIDGII,
reviewed feveral Corps of Urea Yeomanry Cavalry,
the Brigade of Guards, and the three battalions of
Royal Laneafhire Militia. The ground marked out
for the review of the whole. was on Galleywood Com-
mon, about a mile from the old Barracks ; but the
unfavourablenefs of the morning induced his High-
nets to difpenfe with the march of the Guards out of
Chelmsford, and therefore he infpefted this Brigade,
drawn up in the main Ilreet of this town. During
this time, the Yeomanry Corps had formed in line, in
fourteen dirifions. on the lower part of the Race
Ground, in the following order, from the right (the
three battalions of the Royal Lancafhire Militia being
drawn up more centrically, and in advance), viz.

The whole forming a fine regular body of woo ca.
' valry, well mounted, armed, and accoutred, and com •
poled of the principal Gentry and Yeomanry of the
county. At half• pall' one o'clock the Commander
in Chief's arrival on the ground was announced by a
treble difcharge of the battalion guns attached to the
infantry, on which a general falute wok place of pre-
fenced arms, colours, martial mulic, &c. His Royal

and received from their Commanders returns of

ed his Highnefs of the names of the principal Offi-
cers as be approached them. Having alto infpated
them in flank and rear, the Commanding Officen
were ordered into the centre, where they generally
received, through their Lord Lieutenant, the high
approbation of the Dula, and his thanks for the
very military and the uniform appearance of their
feveral troops. His Royal Highnefs now proceeded
to the left of the Royal Laneafhire regiments, and
pared their line, compofed of goon effeaive men, ia'
a fimilar manner. He then took poll at a convenient
(poi, when the whole wheeled by grand diviSous,
and pared him, the officers and colours fainting. He
expreffed great fatiJaelion at the fteady slifcipline of
this fine body of men, and returned them, through
their Colonels, his war melt acknowledgments. Dur-
ing thefe evolutions of the infantry, the cavalry filed
off homewatds, by their feveral columns, and gaining
the heights, in various diretlions, afforded a proud
fpeitaele, hononrable to thole who comp fed it, and
to the Country in whole defence they are fo pliantly
arrayed :—lt wanted only a fine day, to nuke the
triumph of a Britilh maul complete. Unfortunately

it rained feverely throughout the whole Review
Many of the principal farmers, and numerous other
tocaators were affembled. The Royal Brothers, re•
gardlefs of weather, continued in uniform frocks,
to bide
"The pelting of ilte pitylefs fto'm."
On the troops being diiMifted, their Royal High.
neties rode re view the firong chain of redoubts and
batteries, formed on the north-well heights of the
common, and then getting into the Duke of Yoan's
chaife, prOceeded direely to town. They intended to
have honoured Lord Peres with their company to
dinner at Thorndon Hall, had not the immediate
pretence of the Duke of Yoa s been required in Council.
