there are any means of obtaining Medical Assistance from a Military Staff Officer in the Vicinity; and it is only in cases when such Aid cannot be obtained, that they are justified in having recourse to the Practitioners of the Country, of which a special Report is immediately to be made to the Officer Commanding the Regiment, who will state the same to the Director General of the Army Medical Department.

Regulations

Regulations respecting Guards, and other Duties in Garrison.

The following Orders and Regulations are to be strictly attended to in all Garrisons.

The Reveillé is to sound, or beat, at Break of Day.

The Troop or Assembly is to sound or beat at o'clock in the Morning.

The Retreat is to sound or beat at Sun-set, after which no Trumpet is to sound, or Drum to beat, in the Garrison, except at Watch-setting and Tattoo, and in case of Fire or other Alarm.

The Trumpet is to sound for Watch-setting, and the Tattoo is to beat at o'clock, after which no

Soldier is to be out of his Quarters.

Each Troop or Company is to be sized and carefully inspected by an Officer, before it is marched to the Regimental or General Parade.

The Men for Duty of each Regiment are to march under the direction of the Adjutant or other Commissioned Officer, from their Regimental to the General Parade.

An Adjutant of the Day is to be furnished from the Regiment which gives the Town Guard, or the Commander in Chief's Guard; the same Regiment is to furnish the Drum-Major, and Drummers, who are to beat the Assembly through the different quarters of the Garrison, as they may be ordered.

It is the Duty of the Town-Major to tell off the Guards, in which he will be assisted by the Adjutant of the Day*.

The Field Officer of the Day is always to be present at Guard Mounting; no other Officer under the rank of a General Officer, except the Adjutant-General, and the Deputý Adjutant-General, has any right to interfere, or to give any orders on the Parade to the Town-Major. The Governor, or Commandant, whatever his rank may be, is of course an exception to this order.

The following is the Regulation to be observed in Mounting Guards:

All Guards are to parade with shouldered Arms, and unfixed Bayonets, without any intervals between them, the Ranks open, and the Serjeants with Pikes carried. The Officers with their Swords drawn, and Non-Commissioned Officers commanding Guards, to be formed about forty paces in front of the Centre, in two Ranks, facing the Line, where they are to receive the old Parole, and such orders as may be given them.

The Major or Commanding Officer will give the Word of Command

The several Officers and Non-Commissioned Officers will then inspect their Guards. When there is a Captain's Guard, each Officer is to take a Rank, the Serjeants accompanying them.

As soon as the Inspection is over, the Officers and Non-Commissioned Officers return to their Posts, and the Adjutant will go down the line, and receive the report of each Guard; the Commanding Officer will then order

The Troop;

Drummer's call on the right:

On which the Captain will face inwards, and the Lieutenant and Eusign will face to the Right, and march in quick time, to the head of the Grenadiers. The Captain goes to the head of the right of his remaining wen. The Field-Officer then orders the Grenadiers

Grenadiers to close their Ranks, and to march off in quick time, the Lieutenant being three paces advanced in front of his Men, and the Ensign one. The Colours will be delivered as usual. And the Grenadiers on the left flank of the Guards will file at the ordinary time, through the ranks; the Lieutenant, and the Colours, in front of the front rank. The Guards are to march off at the ordinary time, and by Divisions, taking care that when they open their ranks, the front rank of each keeps its exact distance from the front rank preceding it. When there are more Officers than one belonging to the same Guard, the second in rank is to take post, and to march past the Commanding Officer on the Parade, at the head of the last division, instead of being in the rear of it. When there is an Officer senior to the Field Officer of the Day, on the Parade, the Guards are to march by and salute him: the Field-Officer of the Day, in that case, marching at their head.

B

The foregoing Regulations, respecting mounting Guards, are drawn up with a reference to a single Battalion. With certain necessary and obvious alterations, they are equally applicable to a Garrison; in the latter instance, the Commandant will give the Word of Command, the Town-Major or BrigadeMajor will collect the Reports.

All Officers not in the Ranks are to place themselves in the Rear of the Commanding Officer of the Parade.

The Field-Officers and Adjutants of Regiments of Infantry are required to be mounted, when on Duty : Brevet Field-Officers, when doing Duty as Field-Officers in Garrison or in Camp, are also to be mounted.
