On the appearances Of the Sovereigns
the whole Army presented arms, and the
artillery fred general salute, the in
fantry formed i'll close columns by bat
talon on the first company, and the caval-
ny IN columns by regiment on the list SQua-
dron.
The whole army next formed square,
of which three sides were formed by all
the infantry in columns ofbattalion & the
fourth by all the cavalry in columns OF
regiments. II was in this order that
the sovereigns passed it in review after
having gone round the square, they took
post 10 front ofthe cavalry, when the ar

der:
The Infantry in columns by regiment, of
two battahons in front, each formed on the
first company. The foot artillery followed
the respective corps.
The Cavalry in close columns by re-
giments, each formed on the first squad

Ten batteries of horse artillery, form
ms total of one hundred and tw entv pie
ces, closed the march.
According IS it dedied, the army rest
med its position of order OF battle. Tne
Sovereisns returned to Mount Anne,
there to see it deploy and present arms, aft
ter which it commenced general ire,
which had very imposing effect, and
which was also supported by the ar,illc-
ry.
All the evolutions were executed with
astonishing precision. The soiderly-hke
appearance of the troops. the uniformity

The materiei, were such that no fault
could be found by the most experienced
Judges.
The 30th Of August 9th of Septcm
ber) was the Emperor AleXan6cr's name
day. This day was set apart TO return
thanks to God, for having put an end TO
all the ca!amities that have ravaged Eu-
rope.
On the decvity of Monte Dormant. at a
little distance from the spot where the
troops had unanswered the preceding day,
were erected seven affairs that where the
SoVereigns were, was more elevated than
the others, which stood nearer to the pian
Of Etrechy. The army was formed in Sc
ven squares, one side of which was open,
the infantry without arms, the cavalry on
foot, and with the feelings and lock of hui
miiIty BETTING men when they approach the
Almighty. at given signal ali the squares
put themselves in motion, and marched in
| the order in which they were formed, each
towards its respective altar, which, when
the troops halted, was on the open side of
the square. Divine service began, and
ended at the same moment at all the al
tars.
IF the spectacle of the preceding day
excited war.ikc ideas, a.. present were af-
fected by that which foilowed it.
Of all the professions in life which have
most need 10 be supported BY the senti-
ments and practices of religion, that CT
arms is unquestionably the first. IN army
| is always surrounded by circumstances
which tend to corrupt and destroy it no o.
ther moral force Can better fortify men a.
gainst so many seductions and dangers than
that which is derived from religious ideas
it is true that Herent principles Of acton
may operate, and that an army in an ex-
traordinary and passing crisis may fight,
vanqusn, make conquess, and ravaee the
earth, even while protesting impiety ard
regarding religion as weakness but are
the duties Of the true soldier exclusively IL
mited 10 the field of battle ? Ought he net
to be moderate in success-ought he not,
50 to sps ak, to ground his arms before the
weak and the innocent
Connected with his sovereign and his
country, as subject, as citizen, and as de-
fender, his Obligations T.ultiply with the
engagements he contracts towards the state
If religion and true honor 90 not direct
his conduct, what other pledges of security
can lie offer against the abuse Of force and
the violence OF armed passion? At all
times these maXms have been deemed in
dispensab c to the conservation Of empires:
but at present, when Europe is covered,
so to spea wv tn is own soldiers, If the law
OF oaths became only derided formalty.
all civil authority would soon be DESTROYED,
and justice, liberty and peace be forever
ban;shed from the earth.
The Russian army g.ories in avowing not
only these sentiments, bat in placing t,em
in the first rank ofthose by which it is ami
mated; and it will unite at all times 10 the
true homer inseparabe from the profession
Of arms, confidence in God, and the love OF
its sovereign and its country.
