tage to the right,
Or left, or round about
To either angle, or where you doubt
Your enemie will first oppose you;
And therefore unto their Foot close you.
Divisionall wheeling I have seen
In sundrie places practis'd been,
To alter either form or figure,
By wheeling severall wayes together.
And, had I time to stand upon 't,
I'de wheele my wings into the front.
By wheeling flanks into the reare,
They'll soon reduce them as they were.
Besides, it seems a pretty thing
To wheel, front, and reare to either wing:
Wheele both wings to the reare and front;
Face to the reare, and having done 't,
Close your divisions; even your ranks,
Wheel front and reare into both flanks:
And thus much know, cause, note I'll smother,
To one wheeling doth reduce the other.

_Conversion and Inversion._

One thing more and I have done;
Let files rank by conversion:
To th' right, or th' left, to both, and then
Ranks by conversion fill again:
Troop for the colours, march, prepare for fight,
Behave yourselves like men, and so good night.

The summe of all that hath been spoken may be comprised thus:

Open, close, face, double, countermarch, wheel, charge, retire;
Invert, convert, reduce, trope, march, make readie, fire."

ANON.

LEADING ARTICLES OF FOREIGN NEWSPAPERS.

The foreign correspondence of the English press is an invaluable feature of
that mighty engine of civilisation and progress, for which the world cannot
be too thankful; but as the agents in it at Paris, Berlin, Vienna, &c., are
more or less imbued with the insular views and prejudices which they carry
with them from England, Scotland, or Ireland, it were well if the daily
journals devoted more attention than they do to the _leading articles_ of
the Continental press, which is frequently distinguished by great ability
and interest, and would {219} enable Englishmen, not versed in foreign
languages, to judge, from another point of view, of Continental
affairs--now becoming of surpassing interest and importance. Translations
or abstracts of the leading articles of _The Times_, _Morning Chronicle_,
_Morning Post_, &c., are constantly to be met with in the best foreign
papers. Why should not our great London papers more frequently gratify
their readers with articles from the pens of their Continental brotherhood?
This would afford an opportunity also of correcting th
