EFrEcTs OF A REVIEW OF THE Household
TRooPs ON THE PERSIAN PRINcEs.-One of the
first acts of attention on the part of Sir G. O. was TO
introduce them 10 Mrs. w. L., n lady of the world
Of fashion, who, on the anniversary of the battle Of
Waterloo, gave, at her house in Grosvenor gate an
elegant dejeune, and who was kind enough to invite
the princes 10 view the grand review gwen that
day IN hyde Park, from that commanding situation.
Nothing coald have been happily arranged.
From the top OF Mrs w. LIS house the whole field
visible, and every evolution Of the troops might
be seen; WHILE after the review over, we had a
brilliant show of the officers in their gay costumes,
who came in succession TO pay their compliments to
the numerous assemblage of ladies' who filled the
rooms above. There were as | understood nearly
five thousand men of the Guard and household troops
on the field such men, IN point OF figure, dress, and
appointments, horses included, as, probably, Eur pc
could not equal, certainly not surpass and the rapid
precision with which every movement and man1uvre
were performed was admirably calculated to srika
and astonlsh the Perslans who, though accustomed
TO military displays of very different description,
could yet appreciate the perfection which they wit
messed here What Sungersr (fortfied stockades
or bulwarks) said they, when the infantry formed
celye cavalry. zone would say that each sungerls
a solid mass; not foot nor an arm is out of place.
See! il is white line and a red line, with the stce ell
gliterns above All, look they kneel, they fire
6arucillah, barikaiGh! admirable!" As for Timour,
he was quite unable to contain himself He stood
with flushed cheek, flashing eye and outstretched
neck like bird on the wing, following every move
as # he would have den himself dsTa
exclaimed he as the Horse Guards made splendid
charge, " these fellows will do the business But
what do they stop for p continued he looking blank,
the whole drew up at the proper place, quite for
getting that it was not charge in earnest. "Ahi
look at these horses, said he again. two or three
horses with empty saddles, ran across the plain in
very buslness-lke style their riders have got shot,
took TO skirmshng with the retreatng artillery, and
harrassing them, scion les regles without closing, he
lost all patience. All namerdha All, cowards!''
exclaimed he, "why don't you charge again like
men Charge ye!-and the guns are taken" In
little while the whole body of flying artillery swept
by at speed, splendid sight "What do you think
of that \" said one of the bystanders "Ah, Pider
ish be suzund" returned he, with shake of the
head, "may their fathers be roasted we know too
much OF these concerns, 10 our cost These were the
things that Lindsay (Sr Henry Bethune Lindsay
had when he met near Komalshah; and when we
| were gaoping up with our horsemen and thought
we were carrying every thing before US, he stopped
short all at once, and blew to the devil
The elder prince was more collected and confined
himself for the mos Dart, to moderate exclama-
tons Of praises or if ques' as 10 nus opln'Sn
of the beauty of such or suc.S an eVeiuuon, ne
would say, cit was perfection; Nohld not De pet

oeh Of artillery and infantry, with bea. uu :usshe
tanned display Of file firing from the latter, the sol
blew away disclosing one long and perfect lin. v
troops, as steady rock anked by the terrible bate
res that had just been laundering he was our te surpr
sed out OF al! his moderation; and after few most
expressive CALCULATIONS, he turned to me and said,
Wullah Saheb Frazer, the horsemen of Iran are
the best in the world, you know well; but il
there were hundred thousand of them here on
the spot they could not touch that lne-tha, line!
| what could touch II I" The review was over the
show at an end yet still he he stood gazing, hll
al length the movement Of those around him woke
HIM from SORT Of trance, which doubt had as
much TO do with the past as the present He heay-
| ed deep sigh, and said, as we passed on to de-
scend, what are hundred balls operas to this ~
THE FLcRIpA FRoSrIEs.-On the night Of Tues
day, the 9th February, the Indians made an attack
upon the dwelling of Mr.. Chatletts, about miles

patiently until he distinctly saw the Indian, when he
discharged double barreled gun at the opening, tho
contents Of which had such effect that the marauders
took TO fight, carrying off their companion no doubt
mertay wounded. The trail was followed the next
day by small party under Major Scott McGhee, un-
I'll they dispersed in thick hammock. But for the

was attacked and plundercd by the same patty the
family being absent at the time.
