Colonel Henry Pulteney

This morning at half an hour after nine o'clock, his majesty and the Duke of Cumberland, on horseback, and the four princesses in their coaches, attended by several of the ministers of state and general officers of the army, came to Hyde-park, when his majesty rode up to the right of the first regiment, then came down the front of the three regiments, they went through their exercise, by a signal given by col. Pulteney, from the top of a caravan fix'd in the front; after which they pass'd in review before his majesty, and coming to their former ground, they fir'd in platoons' &c. They made a very good appearance, being all clean and well powder'd; and though the action lasted about two and a half hours, and notwithstanding the fire was the hottest that most of them had ever seen, yet not a man gave ground. About one o'clock his majesty, the duke and the princesses return'd to Kensington.

Baron Stanberg and his lady, madam Valmoute, and several nobility and gentry in their coaches were present.
