on their refpeaive parades at an sally hour, with
every peceffary fir; taking the field, and am pro 1
tided °pith the Mane of recruiting their dr4f af-
ter the fatigue. of , their military excuifion. St.
James's Corps Were under the commend. o Major
DOVAIII, in the abfence of Lord AMHERST; and 1
Colonel Sir Illator VAVASOR commanded the Mary. 1
la-Bonne, Lord Dowcarion not being in town.—
The London and Wellminner Corps of Cavalry
were refpeaively led on by their Colonels Ammar°.
and ELtiorr, and Captain Cools headed his Corps
of Riflemen. The troops arrived at the point where •
their operationsivere to commence in good time, and
the exhibition was heightened by the pretence, of
;mil* military Gentlemen of high rank, and Con&
I'derable profeffional experience. •
The plan, as far is we can gather its outline from
'the creation, was founded on a fuppofition that our
. enemy was encamped on Wormwood Scrubs, whence
a confideralge force was advancing to the Metope-
lis. To defeat this force and to attack the camp, an
Enfidi army 'wis to advance, and thepreconcerted
1110vamenis by which the latter wai to beat back the
011411yoad fieady to get poilifficre of his camp, were
to eldlitate the operations of the day.
Coined Monett commanded the body that epees
tented the ...my, confiding of the grenadiers of the 1
Mary laßonne, the light infantry of the St. James's,
led one or two of the battalion coispeeies. Gene- 1
rid the earl of Basavar headed the Engliffi torte,
competed of the remaining crompanies.of thefe regi-
menu, to which the two corps of cavalry and the 1
riflemen belooged; whila Major Downes and Sir
HAUT VATEOIIOt commanded the infantry and their
refpedive commanding officers, the cavalry and rifle ,
corps under his Lora,. The due& army had alto
two field pieces attached to it, and Brigadier-General '
Lunces, ariofficer who has (creed- ineritoriouily
in Egypt) was in the Commander in Chief's fuite.

is remar favourable teen exhibition of Its kind.
Frote to Wormwood Scrnbet every itch
pally:
of graded, cover of the numerose Inclofares,
was ddpeed, and every bridge oft the Canal was
defended by the French in that orderly retreat. It
was not, however, until they arrived at the filth
bridge, adjacent to the Mitre Tavern, that the main
body of the English army was brought into 66600.-
1 le the neighbourhood, the whole oi the Britiffi were
diffiovered on the north fide of the Canal, advancing
in three columns ; the one &ourst the fields i—the
others, confining of infantry, cavalry, and artillery,
advanced along the lane to the gate approaching the
bridge, the paffage of which was obninately difputed
by LW enemy. the artillery, however, determined
the relhlt in favour of the Englifk ; and after a faint
effort on the bridge, the French were ditcerned haft-
ening to the Common, where, under cover of the
forte and broth wood, they were hill capable of an-
• ying the advancing army. In confequence of this
dextrous movement, the Eitel& were, for tome time,
prevented tram pat ing the bridge ; they therefore
commenced a cool and well direOed fire from the
northern built, until the foe asaiq retreated The
whole Corps, with the Artillery and Cavalry, were
then feen_paffing the bridge, and dekending into the
plaits. The principal duty now devolved upon the
Cavalry. A valley of about too acres, not interfea-
ed by any inclofures, prefented itfelf before them;—
It Was, however, covered with bates, and afforded
many favourable fitnations for an ambufcade. Be-
fore, therefore the main body was fuffered to pro-
ceed, hit Lorifhip commanded the Cavalry to recon-
noitre; and they rode at full gallop over the plain,
driving in the picquet guards in every direnion.
To explain the tepid of this conflia, it is necef
fary to fay a few words on the nature of the ground
now oceopied by the contending armies s Worm-
wood Scrubs is divided nearly into two parts, by a
portion of cultivated ground, of conliderable breadth,
on the fonthern fide, and terminating in an apex tor
wards the 'north. The diftrk to the can is an ex-
pansive vale; to the welt is a hill Isfahan too acres,
commanding an rxtenfive view of the woods of Hen.
torchlike to the north, and to the tooth the lofty ele-
vations of the county of Surrey. On this hill was

difpofed the French camp. In the intermediate in-
clofures juft adverted to, the enemy made his final
Rand. The conteß was long and obflinate ; the ca-
valry of the Englith were incapable of sifting in fuch a
fituation, and, notwithllanding the inequality of num-
bers, for a long time the refult remained doubtful.—
Unfortunate!), however, for the French, their Caval-
ry and Artillery had remained at the feventh bridge.
in the expeftation, that a party of the Englifh would
attempt their camp in that fituation. The Engliffi
Infantry, therefore. advanced en the inclufures with-
out any feria'', interruption, and the foe at laft retir-
ed to the verge of his encampment. It was not un-
til this moment, from the circumßances to which we
have alluded, that the cavalry and artillery of the
French were brought into anion. The whole forcehid
now approached within too yards of each other, and
when the French were advancing to cut their way
through the fuperior numbers of the Englilh. Co-
lonel Dln ie offered to capitulate. The propofal was
accepted, but the ceremonials were not attended to,
which ought to have been obferved on fuch an occa-
(inn. The refpative Commanders then exchanged
the &lute, in teker. of recenciliation, and the whole
furce, compofed of vifiors and vanquifbed, fat down
to refrefh themfelves, after the fatigues of the day.
It is impoffible to do jullice to the precifion with
which the various manccuvres were executed. Scarce-
ly any thing could exceed the gallant manner in which
the grand charge gas made. The infantry divifion
advanced with uncommon regularity and freed to
the charge, but there was fomething peculiarly com-
manding in the very fuperior flyle in which the ca-
valry were led on, and carried every thing before
them. General 1./14LIT. mounted on a beautiful
charger, advanced at fu!t gallop at their head, nearly
