BRIGHTON, NOVEMBER S.

Yesterday the military stationed here had a field-
day, and various explosions rattled into the town from
the westward. These occasioned extraordinary emo-
tions, " the Royal squadron !" were spontaneous ex-
clamations, and the Cliff, for a short interval, became
the rallying point. There, however, disappointment
awaited expectation—the Channel presented a sterile
appearance, and the homes of the spectators were re-
turned to with dispositions much more inclined to
dulness than those in which they had been abandoned.
Mr WATIER, the KING'S House Steward, still re-
mains at the Palace, which is kept in a state of readi-
ness for Royal occupancy.

CEIATHAM, Nov. IL—This morning, a report having been Very
generally circulated in the neighbourhood of Chatham and its
Vicinity, that his ;Mammy would pass through on his way to
London, after returning from his Continental tour, the military
were on the alert, anxious to pay those honours to their beloved
&mallow that he so well merits; all, however, was uncertainty
until about a quarter before two o'clock, when a Courier an-
nounced his Maar-err to be near at hand. In an instant the
garrison, composed of the following corps, viz. the Royal Engi-
neers, under the command of Colonel PASLYT 34 Foot Guards,
under Lieutenant-Colonel KrATE ; the 2d, or Queen's, under
Lieutenant-Colonel Dr Busse; the 55th Regiment, under the
command of Captain NrcuotsoN ; the 71st light Infantry, under
JONIEs; and the Royal Nlarines, under Colo-
nel CauPSZLL, were under arms; the whole under the orders
of that distinguished veteran Officer, Colonel Sir AECIIIIIALU
Criarsrut, It. I. accompanied by his Staff. Notwithstanding
the very short notice given, the 55th and 71st Regiments were
formed, at open order, on the new road, Chatham, to receive
his Nlaaesyr (a distance of nearly one mile), in ten minutes
after leaving their regimental parade, and had the honour of
saluting his MAJESTY, with bands playing and colours lowered
as he passed by, exactly at half-past two o'clock. The itoyal
Marine Artillery fired a Royal salute from the guns on the Chat-
ham Lincs. The day was uncommonly fine. His Mansrr
appeared to be highly pleased with the very fine appearance of
the troops. The Royal standards were hoisted at forts Pitt and
Amherst; a Guard of Honour, composed of one hundred of th;
3d Guards, received Isis Ala./eery at Rochester Bridge. His
Maar.stv changed horses on the new road, Chatham, where he
was recognised and greeted by hearty cheers from those who
had the honour and pleasure of being on the road.

GENERAL ORDER.
"°VIZ Gi'Aerd, Nov. 11121.
" The Commander-in-Chief has observed that the King's
Regulation Is generally neglected and evaded, which enjoins
Colonels and Commanding Officers of Corps to limit their Re.
gimental Rands to one Serjrant for a Master, and one Musician
for each Troop or Company; and that a number of men are
now taken front the ranks and employed as Musicians, to an
extent that is equally injurious to the efficiency of the service,
as it is a hardship upon those who are subjected to the expense
attending this unauthorised irregularity.
" It is always painful to the Commander-in-Chief to observe
a neglect of his Majesty's Regulations ; and his Royal Highness
feels it the more necessary to put a stop to this abuse, under the
present reduced state of the Regimental Establishments, which
calls for the efficiency of every man, as far as it is possible to
effect it. But although the estahlishlent of Troops and Com-
panies in each Regiment is reduced, yet it is not the wish or in-
tention of his Royal I lighness to place the Bands upon, a scale
below what has been hitherto thought essential for the due per-
formance of the duty required of them; and they may accord-
ingly be still maintained to the regulated extent of a Serjcaht-
Master and ten Musicians. But Colonels and Commanding
Officers of Corps are enjoined, and commanded, and held re-
sponsible, that this number shall not be exceeded uhder any cir-
cumstances, excuse, or arrangement whatever; and such men
as are now, in contradiction to the King's Regulations, clothed
and Maintained as Musicians beyond this number must bc imme-
diately replaced in the ranks.
" General Officers are called upon, at their periodical inspec-
tions, to see that the !ems and spirit of this Order arc strictly
complied with.
" By command of his Royal Highness the. Commander-ir-
Chief. " 11. TOR it ENS, Adjutant-General."
