CUIRASSIERS OF THE ROYAL GUARD,

WHO “lock't up in steel”——in a body present a fine appearance.

The regiment is seen in the *Champ de Mars*,—ground in front of the Military School,— appropriated to exercises and reviews,—and of an extent sufficient for the manoeuvring of many thousand men.

In the mode of treatment of their horses, appearance is wisely sacrificed to utility;—
by which, though their coats appear rough and dull, they are rendered hardy and fit for
service.
