NEVIETP'ON WYMBLBDOIV CO3fMON.

Yeflerday morning, little after Re o'clock, the
two Regiments of Life Guards marched from their
barracks, the firll at Knightlbridge, and the frond
near Portman-I-gime, followed by upwards of two
hundred carriages of every dekription, and the roads
filled with horfemen, chiefly Volunteers, with feveral
thousand pedefirians ; the whole enveloped in a cloud
of dull. They marched down Sloane4Lreet along
Putney-bridge, and reached Wimbledon Common
about nine o'clock, where they met the Oxford Blues,
who came from Croydon. On arriving at the Com-
anon all the men, difmounted.—The 13th Light Dra-
goons went and marked out the ground, which they
encircled. The Life Guards and Oxford Blues
mounted and entered the ground, where they formed
int., line. and remained in that pofition in expe&a-
tion of the arrival of his MAJESTY. The number of
carriages on the ground was fo great that they form-
ed a circle of three and four deep, for two miles
round. The ladies alighted from their carriages,
landaus, and fociables, and formed a line at the hot-
tom of the ground nest to the village of. Wimble-
don. The number of horfemen exceeded all cal•
culation. At this time the whole Common, and every
road leading to it, were crowded with Ipetlamrs.—
His MAJESTY. efcorted by a party of the t 3th Light
Dragoons, accompanied by General GWYNN E. and
Earl MACAR TN sr, in his carriage, arrived about ten
o'clo:k.—His MAjtars. immediately mounted his
horfe, and rode up to the front, where he was re•
reived by the three regiments with a general falutc.
The Oxford Blues were in the centre, and a regiment
of the Guards on each fide. His MAJIESTY was ac-
companied by their Royal Flighnelfes the Paiute of
WALES, and the Dukes of GLOUCIISITIR,YORIC, KENT,
and CAMBRIDGE, who formed together a molt bri-
liant affemblage. His MAJE ST r feemed in hilth fpirits
and looked remarkably well. He was received with
the warmeß and moll loyal marks of love and alle-
giance ; he flood whilll they palled him ie review
with his hat in his hand, the Royal Dukes being alto
uncovered. _ _

After the urnal formalities, the troops proceeded
to mike the following Evolutions :
Firfl—They advanced quick from the halt..
Second—The flank marched by the left; head of
the column changed its dircaion to the tight ; halt-
ed, And the rear of the column moved into the new

afignonent
Third—Marched in link and conntersnarebed. ea
vered firil by one, and foccavely by the other (qua-
dron.
Fourth—Marched in line • formed column of half
fquadrons right in front ; the column countermarch-
ed through its centre. and wheeled to the tight into
line _ _

Fifth—Changed their pofition by flask march ;
entered a newafigneweitt,interfeaing and footing from
the old one. The line broke inwards by divifiOns to
a moveable point near the centre, and moved in
double column on a given direction, where it entered,
and prolonged a new alitneownt in which it halted, and
expeditiotifly formed to the left—it was now in the
rear 01, and fronting the original pofition.
The fuppofed enemy was on the fide of Richmond
Park ; the line then broke to the front by direct eche-
lons of fquadrons, behind a named and directing fqua-
dron towards the centre ; on the fuppofed appearance
of the enemy in the lanes leading by the ravines f.. om
the Bald-faced Stag and Coombe, the ochelote: halted
and wheeled to the left ; the echelons to the left of the
fquadrons of direftion, advanced rapidly and formed
to their leading echelon. The echelon: of the right wing
moved up in that direction, and formed a line to, and
on the left of what was the fqnadron of direaion ;
the brigade was then in two lines, the fecond out-
flanking the fira, on the fide of the enemy, by one
fquadron.—N. B. The fquadrons of the firft line were
then in their original order, the order of the fecond
line being inverted.
Tne progrefs of the enemy being flopped on the
left, the brigade refumed the former direction of its
march; for that purpofe the fecond line counter-
marched in fquadrons, and changed its front on the
left half fquadron, by the oblique march of half
fquadrons, the right thrown forward. This line then
prolonged its alignment to the right, to fecure its flank,
by Lnrd SPIIIC cm is park-wall. At the fame time the
Ern line retired by fquadrons in direct echelon, from
its right, when the other line halted and fronted i the
(Aeons of the firfl line alfo halted, fronted, and wheel
ed to the right ; and the whole purfued its march to-
wards the Obtlifk. The line then halted,;. and the
erhecat formed up to the front, the whole being in
one line.

The brigade next retired in two lino of alternate
fquadrons, each flank being covered by a fquadron ;
each fquadron by its own rear guard and flanker,;
the rear guard and flan ken of the halted fquadron
fucceffively relieving chore of the retiring ones.
The line then changed its pofition to the rear, ana
formed with its rear to Lord Suites's's wall, from
which pofition a general attack was made upon the
enemy, who were fuppofcd to be come round and
forming in force, at the mouth of the ravines near
the Gravel Pit.
The Honk Guards then attacked in front ; and the
Regiments of Life Guards attacked on each front.
Tile Regiments now retit ed by their right from the
pofition which they had formed after the attack, and
entered the original Within at the point, where the
1::ft of each halted. They wheeled into line, opened
tanks, and advanced in parade and fainted.
The whole being now over, his Maissry left the
ground at two o'clock, after expreifing his entio e ap-
Propation of the martial appearance and ditcipline of
the Regiments.
Lord CATHCART was fo well pleaded with the per.
fr.: mance of his Regiment, that he made them a pre-
lent of so guineas.
The number of different Volunteers who were on
liorfeback, and in uniform, was above 3000, and
very midi retarded the charge of the Life Guards,
by being in their way. From the fines& of the
iy and the mi:itary appearance of the men, the
ti.:nber of carriages and bodes, and uncommon con-
lc fpeetators. it was one of the fineft fpeefcles
‘..ittleii'ed for a confiderable time pail, and the whole
faild have given unfpeakable pleafure, had it not
lic,n damped by the number of accidents t on the lag
harge made, the ground being. too confinid and
and, owing to the drynefs of :he turf. being
v.:r) ilippery, one of the Blues happened to fall, to-
t,: with his hork by which dam or four others

were pitched over him 1, he had his leg broke above
the ancles and one of his thighs very mach bruited ;
ode of the others had his (boulder pit out of joint,
and two others very much bruited. Nearly aft milar
accident befel the Goads, one of whom had his leg
broke, and another received a dreadful bruife in his
thigh by his horfe falling on him ; the horfe having
one fide of his cheek laid open. There was one Gen-
tleman received a dreadful fall, and was nearly run
over by the carriages; his hoffe gallopped off, and
afforded fome (port before he was taken. After the
Review was over, every road leading to town was
completely filled. The River Thames, in like man-
ner, had to boaß of its !hare of the amufements of the
day, being crowded with boats of different parties
who went by water as far as Wandfwnrth. When
the Guards arrived at Knightlbridge, the firft regi-
ment went up to thebarracks ; thefecond went through
Hyde Park to their ftables: in the vicinity of Portman-
fquare. When they reached Lord CATHCART'S, in
Grofvenor Place, they drew up in front of the houfe,
the band played GOD Ave the KING.

General PICHEGRU was in Lord HARRINGTON'S
carriage with his Lordfhip, and Lady Holum-
Hoaktworom, a molt charming gill. The General
teemed to admire much the manoeuvres and appear-
ance of the men. He is a man whore feature are
fin ngly marked : he is flout-made, and of a fwarthy
complexion.
After the review, the whole of the Officers of the
Brigade dined at the Thatched-houfe Tavern, St.
James's area.

This morning at eight o'clock, Lord HARRIIIGTON
reviewed the ad Regiment of Tower Hamlets and
the Weft London Militia, in London Field, Hackney.
Yefterday the 3d Regiment of Royal Eafi India
Volunteers had a parade, when they praftifed the
feveral rnanceuvres to be performed before the Earl
of HAstiworom, in Hyde Park, by the Brigade on
Thurfday next.—On the conclufion, the regiment
was formed-into a circle ; when, by order of Col.
&Atari, the•Tbanks of the Houfe of Commons,
and Mr. Susaini►w's motion, were read to the batta-
lion by the Adjutant, Capt. B
The general fubfcription in Kent, towards the ex-
pences of the Volunteer Corps in that County,
amounts to so:61. tp. At a meeting of the Com-
mittee of Lieutenancy, held on Monday, an uni
form was adopted for thefe Corps who (hall claim
alliflanee from the general fubfcription, the whole
tkpente of which amounts to IL iss. 6d.
Yefterday morning the adjourned Tea Sale was
held at the Eall India Houfe, Sir Liossi. DIRILL
took the Chair, attended by the Hon. WILLIAM EL-
PHINSTONS and Mr. Gsoaos SMITH.

After the lel minutes had been read, a long conver.
fation enfued, when the Trade prelfed it upon the
Chairman, whether, if the Recife would give up the
pound draft, the Court would alto relinquifh their
claim ?
To this demand a written anfwer was fent from
Mr. Bosawcarre, Rating, that the buyers might de.
pend upon that liberality from the Court, which had
ever uniformly been its practice.
This not fatisfying the buyers, an adjournment was
propofed as on former inflances, till the opinion of the,
Avroawsr and Sosictrot GarriaeLs thould have
been received, whicb, it was Rated, might be received
by Monday next. •
The Refolutioo of Court, inferted in our Paper
of yefterday, was read by Mr. SIAIONDI Affillant
Clerleto the Committee of Warehoufes, When, after
a confiderable interval of conference from behind the
Bar, it was fuggefled by the Chairman (Sir LtowiL
DAR ALL) that as the buyers teemed to differ in opi.
nion, the molt proper mode of proceeding would be
for a Committee of them to prepare a flatement, in
writing, of their wifhes.
They accordingly withdrew for that purprife, and
after the Lige of near half an hour, Mr. Twinitio„
junior, Chairman of the Committee, read in his place
the following Refolution It is fubmitted on the
part of the Tea Trade, to the Court of Direebrs of
the Eaft India Company, as the Hon. Court are at
full liberty to make whatever allowances feem reafon.
able to them on goods fold by them at their talcs,
that they do continue tc the Trade the fame allow.
antes of diaft and fuper tare, as heretofore on Teas
fold by them."
Sir LIONEL DARILL Paid, he could with to know
if the Refolution now read was the unanimous fenti.
ment of the trade, as it comprehended a van deal
more than had beet; originally eked from various
quarters of the room.
The queßion being put from the Chair, paired
unanimoufly.
The CHAIRMAN then declared, that a Refalutionof
the Court had already pallid which completely deter-
mined the quellion, viz.--44 That the Court will
make the fame allowance on weighable goods, as the
Boards of Revenue, and no other."

Mr. ELPHINSTONII was of a fimilar opinion, and
hated. that all further adjournment would be vain.
as the Court. he was confident, would not recede
from their determination; he for one would not.

The Trade appearing generally anxious for an ad..
journmenr, in order that their Refolution might be
I fubmitted to the Court, which was fhortly expelled
to fit, an adjournment took place for that purpofe.
On the Meeting being returned, a Refaution of
the Court was read, Bating, that it was their firm
determination to abide by their former one.
The Sa!e then proceeded pro forma, molt of the re-
gular buyers quitting the r.om.
The Emile of this fufpenfion of the Sale has arifen
from an Al of Pailiamcm, lately pallid, containing
a claufe which prohibits the allowance of a pound
dtah, a cotton.' which has prevailed in trade time
immemorial. This claufe is made for regulating the
Cullom:. The Board of Excite has thought proper
to act under the diration of this claufe, and has or.
dered the difccontinnanee of the potted draft. as well
as the callous, although there is DO dimities to, or
mention of, the Excite to the Paid dance.

The Eaa India Company has alfo Oven notice
to .he Trade of its intention; to difcontinue the al.
lowence. This has occafioncd much diffatisfaajon
in the Trade ; as they conceive this coadua of the
Company does not accord with the liberality which
the Court of Direams molds to cxercife : and that
it is an indirea way of impaling an aderiiiiked duty
upon an article already barthraed with an impoll
of 951. per cent.
