The REvIEw.-It will be seen by the
following circular Of the committee, that
invitations have already been sent to all
the field, staff officers and commands ants
of companies nthe State 10 be present
ut the review next Saturday. AS the
residences of some then are not known,
i, is very possible that some of the invita-
tions did moi reach their destination. lpI
such case, the officers and comrnandants
are requested 10 direct their answers to-
the committee, in the same way as tho
they had received them. The line will
be formed on Benefit street, and wiIl
proceed 10 The Dexter Training ground,
where il will be again formed and re-
viewed. During the day an interesting
ceremony will take place. Immediately
after the events Of the 18th Of May, the
ladies' of Providence determined To pre-
sent swords to the three chartered com
panies Of this city, and flags to the four
chartered companies from other parts oi
the State, who came to the defence of
the city. The swords have already been
prescribed the flags will be presented
on Saturday to the Newport ArIllery,
the ken,ish Guards, the Bristol Artlle-
~, and the Warren Artillery. The
flags are of rich silk and very beautiful );
they bear the arms Of the State, with the
date OF the charter Of the company, and
n suitable inscription, stating that they
are presented by the ladies' oi Providence
for their gallant conduct on the occasion
referred to. We have not learned whom
the ladies will depute to make the pre-
sentation. We regret to learn that some
difficulty has arisen on account Of rank :;
this, we understand, will be obviatedt
and every company will receive the pos,
to which it is entitled, and it is not be-
heved that any dissatisfaction will be
caused on this account.
Every thing promises an occ aston Of un-
usual interest, aud we presume that the ai-
tendance will be very large, both Of the
military and Of citizens TO witness the
show. Two companies Of cavalry are
expected To be present, eight companies
Of artillery, and large number OF COM
panies OF infantry.
Il Letters Of invitation have been for
warded by the Committee of Arrange
ments 10 all the Companies and Field
ard Staff Officers that compose the
