A CRANtJ REVIEW IN HYDE PARK.
T.i d \hratt the King's Birth Day.
Sion after 5 o'clofk yffterday morning,
♦he different volunftr corps, in and about
London, hegan to affrmble in their refpeft
ive exercising grounds ; and by half pail
t the line was completely formed in Hyde
Par k ; the right of the line beginning close
to the Serpentine River, on the north lide,
and extending across' the upper part of the
Park, to the wall joining to the A&on Road
•—from thence along the lame wall to the
- New Gate facing Great Cumberlatid-ftreet ;
and from thence down Pari,, along the wal
nut trees, by the refei vior, to the corner
next to Lord Bothurft's house ; making, in
all, a line of nearly three miles ; the whole
amounting to about nin* thousand effedtive
inch.
The early part of the morning proved ex
tremely unfavorable, heavy fhoyeri of fain
having fallen between the hours of five anc 1
nine, by which means the troops appeared
certainly to disadVantage, but, the weather
f j runatdy about this period begantobright
en; and a more noble and gratifying fight
never was obfervcd on any one occauon be
fort.
Preeifeljf at nine o'clock, the approach oi
His Majesty was announced by the difchargc
of» gun ;-and a few miniites thereafter en
tered thr Park with an iminenfe suite, which
■was also announced to the furrotjnding
crowds by a royal salute of 21 guns.
His majesty having arrived at the centre
«f tlie line, a general salute begaji nearly
at the faint* moment, and all the bands of
muiic, with drums and fifes playing " God
save the King."
Immediately after this, His Majesty rode
flowlv along the whole line, which took up
nearly the (pace of an how. Having then
returned on the centre again, the firing be
gan from right to left, each corps firing a
volley, and this was repeated three different
times. The firing having then ceased, three
good old English cheer* were given by the
troops in >onor of the day, in which they
were motl cordially and heartily joined by at
lead 10,000 fpeftators.
The different Ccrps then palled his Ma.
jrfty in cpen columns, and marched •H" the
ground to their refpettive places of meeting,
inhere they were discharged. We are thus
particular in giving without any Exception
the grandest fight ever seen in Hyde Park,
and certainly the *oft gratifying to the fee
lings of his Majesty, who then witnefled
Ten Thousand Volunteers and effe&ivemen,
trained, armed and accoutred, at their own
expence, in fnpport of his Royal Petfon and
Government.—The fight was truly noble.
His Majesty was attended by the Prince
and all tjie Royal Dukes, together with all
trffieers of either rank or diftin&ion in the
metropolis ; and considering the number of
troops, ind the great inconvenience from the
crowd, the whole went off with the utmost
regularity and precision, which, is entirely
attributed to the Noble Field Marlhal, the
Duke of York, who commanded.
This grand review was concluded about
half pad twelve o'clock. The King *was
lrighly pleased with the Martial conduft of
the troops and the Loyalty of the Peop'.f.
Wherever His Majesty pafied he was receiv
ed with the loudest acclamations.
Her Majesty, on the King's Birth Day,
Was Magnificently attired in a white crape
petticoat, embroidrcd with real silver
spangles, in imitation of forked lighning,
ai rofs the coat, orer each earner of which
flowed blue crape draperies, richly spang
led with real silver, and drawn up in fef
toons with four diamond chain bands,
and four brilliant roses, at equal distances
on each band, terminated with large bril
liant rofeg* and tassels -of immense value.
The bands were edged with blue laurel
which £ r avc a fine csntraft and addition,
a lustre to thediamond«i blue laurel and
diamond bands also ran from the ton to the
bottom of both draperies, and which were
additionally ornamented with blne'laurel,
fattened with four brilliant stars. A full
floonct of double plated blue silver lace,
tdged with Spangles. Body and train of
rich blue and silver tiiTue, trimmed with
very broad-{ilverl»ce ai>d blue laurel: and
'excluiive ot' the diamond stomacher, ntck
lac~, ear-rings, and other i'uperb onm
merits, exhibited the honour of the day.
Her lijlaiefty wore on her cap a mo ft mag
nificient diamond bandeau of uncommon
splendor and immense value, composed ot
large collet with nine brilliants of matchleis
fizeand perfe&ion, surmounted with a di
amond crown in the centre. The tout en
semble of her Majjfty's dress, orithis joy
ful occasion, luipafTed every thing we
can remember to have seen, and did great
credit to the taste of Mrs. Bruce.
The fafhonable colours among the Ladies
were I Hie wAyelioiv in particular, and brown
and pale preen. A profufion of tall feathers
was worn in the head. Scarcely any I.ady
had less that! three ;but the head dress was
so flight that they would not ft and upright,
and they greatly embarrafied many Ladies.
Scarcely one Lady appeared in powder. Bo
quels were much worn. The hair wasdref
fed ninch as ufnal, in bows and bands, u) the
Grecian flile, the heads to look long and flat.
There was litt'e or no novelty' in the trim
mings. Some Ladies appeared, contrary to
the Court-etiquette, without ruffles, to dif
olay their -mbroidered sleeves which seemed
to be the principal part of their dress.
FROM THE FRENCH FAKERS.
Examination of the four Coachmen belong
ing to the Margrave of Baden, who were
to have driven the French plenipotentia
ries to Seltz.
In compliance with the demand of the
Sub-delegation of Baden, the undersigned
pfoc eded to the examination of the four
Coachmen who were yesterday evening to
have conducted the French Ministers by the
way of Plitterfdorff to Seltz.
Andrew Cafpard declares in hisdepofition
that he drove the carriage of the Minister
Jean Debry ; that at his departure he had
been ordered by the Minister Bonnier to an
swer, in cafe he lhould he flopped and afktil
whom he drove, that they were the French
Ministers j that he was in efll£t flopped by
fnme of the Royal Impeial Huflars, at the
entrance of the valley of Rlieinau ; that the
aforefaid question was put to him, to which
he the answer as direfled ; that being
aiked where Bonnier was» and the nam-' of
the person whom he drove he answered Bon
nier was in the feebnd carriage, and Jean
Debry was in his ; that on this information
a greater number of Huflars r«de up to the
carriage, and dragged out of it the Minister
Debry and the uadies with him, and imme
diately attack il the former with their sabres,
pulled the woman after them, and searched
them ; that he himfelf received a blow with
the flat of a sabre, on which he dropped down
between his horses, that he was then aiked
who he was, and having answered he was
"Coachman of the Margrave he was allured
no injury lhould be done to him.
2. Tames Ohnweiler deposes, that he saw
Jean Debry receive several blows with sabres
hut at the fame time some Huflars rode up to
his carriage, which was the third, and aiked
him who was in it, that having anlwered he
drove Bonnier, several Huliars rode up to the
doors on both fides of the carriage and cri
ed, " Alight, Bonnier I" They instantly
broke the windows, dragged the Minister
out, and maflacred him before his eyes'at the
lide of hi* saddle horfc ; that they afterwards
plundered the Minister, and the contents in
the carriage, that he also thought he heard
Bonnier make lamentations in French, and
pronounce the word " pardon."
3. James Weifs deposes, that he drove
the fourth carnage, in which was the Secre
tary of Legation, Rofeptiel jthat he Ciw-Jie"
bry and Bonnier dragged out of the carriages
which were before, the treatment experien
ced by the former happened at too great a
distance for him to make observations, but he
' diftin&ly heard the Huflars cry—" Where
is Bonnier ?" That he saw them drag Bon
nier out of the carriage, ftnke him at the
fame time with their sabres on the legs, and
cut him to pieces, when he fell on theground.
With refpett to Roberjot, the Huflars after
the massacre of Bonnier, galloped to his car
riage and cut him to Reberjot bath
ed as he was in his blood, given still some
signs of life, a Hussar on foot struck him fix
times with his fibre.
4* I*be fourth coachman deposes, that his
carriage was at the fame time attacked by the
Hit (Tars. He was asked the name of the
Minilter whom he drove, but as he did not
know, they applied to the servant on the
coach box, and having learned that it was
Roberjot, they said, "Ah ! it is he 1" They
opened the door, dragged out the Minifler,
and by the order of one of the under Officers,
who spoke Hungarian, ,they maflacred him
in a horrible manner, dripped him of his
cloaths, and renewed their attacks while
tl ere appeared the least sign of life. Ma
dame Roberjot was also torn out of tbe car
riage, and entreated them repeatedly, in bad
German, to put her to death with her hul
band.

NEW-YORK, Auguft'iz.
The letters under the fignacure of Made]
na, admit of fame remarks.
General -Jettef of the 14th
"JSiyTtays " The A uihriris c rolled .the Rh'uie
but were driven back with considerable lois."
In another letter of the 26th, without men
tioning that the AuftriariS had again crossed
• the Rhine, he fays they (the Auftrians) were
ifiembling treops 0:1 the River Thur, with
an intention of attacking hini."
A question here arises, how the Auftrians
' cau.e in po(R-fiion of this country ? Surely
' general Maflena inuft have been dreaming,
when, on the 24th, he wrote that he had
compelled the Audiiam to rcpafs the Rhine,
when at the fa ire time this fame Maflena
1 mult have retreated to that parj of the Thur,
1 which is a distance of about 40 miles from
1 the Rhine.
It does not appear by Maffena's letter of
the 26th May, that he had driven the At),
ftrians to the Right BaTik of the Rhine,
' though his letter of the 24th pofuively aJTerts
it.
Maflcna again, in his letter of the iSth,
fays the Ash Duke had rejoined his army
with a considerable reinforcement, and at
tacked him cn the lines of the Tliur, when
the a£lion, by his account, lulled about
liourd, during which time lie only made- 800
prisoners ! In this letter the modefi General
observes, that he advanced tor the purpose cf
concentrating his force more towards Zu
rich 1 Advanced ! here is a grand miftafce.
This is what may- be called,' in our plain,
simple language retreatinr, or (lying before
the enemy ! For, it is p'ain to every pne the
least acquainted with the Geography of that
country, that Zurich is confidently in tte
rear of the river Thur.
No doubt the Arch Dulce, while SfcflLci
.was thus Advancing made a proper use ot
his fituaticni, and rejaccd by killed, wounded
and pnfvliprt» the army-os the French Gene
ral, who appeared so anxious to concentrate
his troops at Zurich. We have rcafon to
believe, from Maffem's own letter, that,at
least, the Archduke was not idle;for the
French general candidly ccnfeffes, that the
efforts and obstinacy of the enemy, webe be
yond nil expreflion !
By letters of anterior dates, from near tMf
nrmy of the Aullrisn General Hotse, it aj>
pears vh.it he l.ad penetrated a ronfiderable
difiance into Switzerlrnd, by a different rout
from that of the Archduke, fc as to pufli his
