Event Details
the thirty third Regiment, commanded by the Earl of Cornwallis, who had been reviewed last Week by his Majesty upon Blackheath, were again, at his particular Request, assembled in Hyde Park on their March to Portsmouth, where they again exhibited all their new Manoeuvres as light Infantry. Their Quickness of Motion and marching, and various Order of Firing, is really astonishing; and their whole Exercise, and Discipline, beyond Parallel and Example in any Troops in the Army. They passed the Pales, Ditches, and Detiles, quite up to Kensington Gardens, and back again through the Grove, by the Powder Magazine, with as much Agility and Alertness as if they had been unencumbered with Arms, upon a regular March, in open Campaign Country, where they formed in an Instant the Indian File, and fired in Ambush.
