On the arrival of his fitiyal Highnefs the Duke of
YORK, attended by Lord HARRINGTON, General
'BURRARD, and a numerous train of General and
other Staff Officers, the whole line prefented arms,
their colours waved on the ground, while their re-
rpeftive bands played " God fare the KING " Af-
ter palling in front, the Dues repaired to near the
centre of the Great Park, and faw the whole ad-
vance and retire in line, and individually make a
charge to the front, or a lint of mark compared of
ferjeants from the different corps. The St. James's,
being on the tight, came firft to the charge, and with
tolerable fuccefs gut through ; but the Prince of
Wales's, and St. Andrew's, awing to fome mifma-
nagiment, were ordered to try again, which they
did with much improvement. Colonel EasiciNEN
and Ln:cl DU ROAN won's Regiments were above tar.
The Ploornibury made their charge lap, and an a
veteran (kyle.

The Brigade now proceeded to Buckden bill, and
experienced, as they have chi former occafions, much
difficulty in getting fo many men in line over deep
ditches. The tile companies covered their advance,
and as loon as the Intl line was formed, they rallied
to the front with charge) bayonets, to cover the for-
mation of the zd line, who, on their being colleCted
together, preff.d forward as a referve to the (harp-
(hooters and front line, the former of which, having
the fuppofed worft fide of the battle, lay on their
hacks, while the infantry paled over them in line:—
This pref:nted a view very much like a real aftion,
for the regiments palling over and leaving the !harp-
fhooters lying on the ground, exhibited as near as
poifible, the field of laughter, they looking like fo
many fuldiers cut off as the Brigade advanced.
The regiments, after changing their front, paired
the Duke of YORK in open tit der, officers fainting, &c.
and marched out of the park at the different gates.
The ground was kept by a detachment of the
Guards, and every part of the park was crowded
with beauty and faihion. Among the Ladies of dif-
tinCtion we noticed the Counteffes of HARLINGTON,
C•RHAMPTON, and AsHBURINAM ; Ladies ELLEN-
Rnaut/Gl4; ANN STANHOPE TAYLuR, and A. S.
STANN^pI.

Rms. Fewest,Lits.—At about ten o'clock yeller-
day morning this excellent body of men, command-
ed by Commodore Lucas, took water at the Tower.
and were accompanied by the 7th battalion of Loyal
London Volunteers, under the command of Major
Power. The Fencibles were about boo in number,
and the Volunteers about 400. They advanced up
the River in the following order :—Six gun boats in
a line, in front, to protal the infantry in their ad-
vance and to cover their landing, two boats with a
brafs cannon each, and two boats with a band and
drums and fifes followed. Fifteen launches then ad-
vanced abreall, with the Volunteers on board and fe•
veral of the Fencibles. The rough and hardy lock
and the plain neatnefs of the chefs of the latter at-
traded particular notice. Each boat had fourteen
oars, or (weeps, which were all manned by the
Fencibles. Though the fmooth water of the Thames
is not well fuited for a difplay of nautical (kill, this
we may with confidence affect, that even in that con-
fined fituation they difplaycd fuch maniine(s and dex-
tetity as could not puffibly be equalled by any fel of
men in Europe but by the natives of thefe
The rapidity with which they darted along at each
Broke, the regular order in which they preferved
their two lines acrofs the River, and the correCt time
which each boat preferved within ;dell, in the fea-
thering of fourteen oars exactly at the fame intlant,
was elreedinsly pleating to every fpeClator, and
many were fern to enjoy a portion of fell vanity in
the perfo:mance, and fay, •• Where will you get
their Lilaws ?' They fired leveret Got at various
intervals, as they went up, arid when they came to
Chelfea, they fined a falute in honour 41 the veterans
they paged. When they came to the Eight Bell-,
near Putney, the Putney and Roehampton Volunteers
were diteovered lining the beach, and polling a de-
tachment upon a little bridge, which they would have
to pals if landed. The guns on hoard the boats
were exceedingly well ferved : they kept up a con-
Rant cannonade, and thole on the beach poured in
glacial midi complete volleys upon the boats. At
length, however, the fuperiority of numbers and the
heavy weight of metal prevailed, and filenced the
fire of the 'Mall arm.. The light infantry were firll
difembaravd, tome ikirmiPling then edited, and it
was not until the whole had landed that the Rue-
hampton and Putney fell back. The volunteers then
marched up to Wimbledon Common, where they had
a grand field day. After they had fume refrefhment
the teraiLlex again praelifed the working of their guns
wail the vi lunteers returned. The whole came
doss n (lie River in the fame order in which they went
up, wuh n.tilk playing and colours flying. They
the volunteers at Blacktriars about eight
o'i.l,,ck in the evening. The day was very favour-
able. The River above Bridge was literally covered
with boats, and, though it mull be very obvious that
it one of the heavy gun boats was to come athwart
any a.f the little fluff. that are generally feen upon
the River, it would be immediat:ly run dawn:yet fuch
WAi the regularity and (kill of thofe in the greater
boats, that ri,a a tingle accidtnt • ceurred.
