The report of the Royal Standard being about to
be railed in the Weitern departments of France, wi-
der the French Princes or their Officerr, gains
ground. It is laid that PICIISOIttI, as well as Du•
MOORtilt, have been eonfulted by the Princes of
France. Whether •he time be yet come for loch an
enterprize, may admit of very confiderable doubt.
Monday the Doke of CLARFNCI dined with the
neighbouring Gentlemen, who aiciate at the Bufh,
'at Staines. TheCuke was lo gratified with his re-

Oa Friday evening laft, the whole of the Regiment
of Royal Brian' Volunteers, were reviewed by his
Royal Highnefs the Duke of CUM aaaaa Ntr. He
was received amid the Ihouts of the populace,
whofe enthufiaftic loyalty would have warmed the
heart of every Briton. His Royal Highnefs exprefred
his entire approbation of the handfome and foldier like
appearance of the Regiment. He then direded the
officers to inform each Company, that the noble
mannar in which they had volunteered their fervices
on the preceding evening, to march td any part
of the diftriet where his Royal Highnefs commanded,
afforded him the higheft gratification ; yet he
pledged his honour that nothing but the greateft
danger and emergency thould remove them from
their prefent fituatinn.

Entrenching tools for 15.000 men have been fent

At a time like the prefent when fo :noels depends
on the introduCtion of difcipiline and appropriate habits
into thole military corps that are formed upon the
volunteer fyitern, it is painful to perceive any relaxa-
tion in the obfervance of fuch regulations as have
been cheerfully adopted, and uniformly adhered to ;
perhaps none among them are more falutary, better
calculated to coned habits of indolence and ditfipa-
tion, thole formidable enemies of order and rrgula.

avocations, than an early attendance at the morning-

that a ',cry refpeltable corps have been direeted to
meet at feven, inflead of half pat fix o'clock in the
morning ; and at a time when many of the members
lamented that they did not at this favourable feafon
affemble at fix o'clock. It is to be hoped, that the

dation' againit the contagion of a bad Freedom, rather
than to examine the motives that aauate this corps,
which might be deemed invidious, we think it only
neceffary to call the attention of the public to the
confideration of the labia/, which will be fitflicient
to retrain the mere influence of exatOple, and to pre-
vent the excellent effeas that arift from an early
attendance on military exercife being broken in upon

Seafons.

A new regulation bas taken place among the let-
ter-carriers belonging to the Poit-Office, which ren-
ders more fecure the conveyance of money-letters
to different parts of the kingdom ; and prevents the
poffibility of fraud being ptaltifed. Each man now
carries a bor, which is locked up, and the key de-
tfitteed at the Poll-Office ; the top of the fame is con-
ed to flip the letters through, as they are re-
ceived ; and they mull remain within, until delivered
Into the hands of the forters, who unl.,ek till box,
and forward the contents to the places c fJeflination.
This falutary plan will render communications cer-
tain. and prevent letters from being farmed by the
carriers.
