BEAD QUARTERS, Vincknnks, 8th September 1808. General Orders THE fir ft Regiment of Knoxcounty Militia will parade for review by the commander in thief on Saturday the firft of October at 1 1 o'clock in the town of Vmcennes, its right on the firft ftreet in front If the Seminaiy difplayed towards the river. The Light Infantry formed on the right at thirty paces from the Battalion ai.u YVilfbris Rifle company at tht fmie diftance from the left, both thefe companies at opm order. The -Ile-giment will then be divided into wingi cf two divilions and four plattoons each ; the oldeft field officer prt fr nt will command ihe right wing and the 2nd tht left; Ihould only one fit Id officer attend the old-
ft captain will take command ot tne Iclt
wing. The Battalion will then, face to the
-ght and tiling on irom the ngnt or ujc wo wings it will form two parellel coU
umns in nies. uapt one s L.ifiriii iman-
y will be divided into two plattoons one
-t which will form the Iiout guard and
the other a corps of observation on the
nsiht nanlt undt-r lieut. smith. L.-ptam
Wilions company will be alio divided and
rm a rear guard and a corps ot oblerva-
tion on the left flank. The front and rear
uards and the Rankers will he formed at
he diftance of one hundred and fifty yards
rom the line, the latter viz. the fl inkers,
n lincir fal and at open oider in a nine
parallel to the columns, the front and rear
guard alfo at op n order, but formed at
eight angles to the columns.
la this order the R-giment will proceed
to the race ground ; (hould an attack be made on the fiont, the front guard will re-
ift as long as polflble to givo time for the
me of battle to be tormed, it will then
retire, keeping up a retreating fire, and paffing through the intervals of the line
will proceed to ioin the other detachment
of the Light Infantry on the right flank
Whilft this manouvre is prr formed the
rear goard will form a juncVton with the e'etachment of Riftemen on the left flank
The mode of forming to leceive the enemy in front is by each divifion wheeling on its
center, in other words ; the lit. 3d. 5th
Sc 7h, plattoons will face to the right
nd wheel to the right ; the 2d. 4th 6th, Sc
h8th, plattoons will fce to the left and
wheel to the riht. The Recinent will
then be in -two lines with the liht corps n the fiaHks of the front line, (hould the front fine be thrown intt difoider ar.d fo hirrl preffed as to, make a retieat nectfiary. he 2nd line will be ordered tn r.dvance to its fupport, and the 1ft line will retire in fi!s by platoons through the intervals of the 2nd, and form in its rear, when it will
rither fupport the 2nd line, or form on the
flanks, asth commander in chief fh; Il di rea. If in the firft inftance it fhould appear to the commander in chief that tho lft line can fuftain the charge of the enemy and that by extending his front the enemy may be out flanked, the 2nd line will then be brought up and formed on the flanks of the 1ft. This is to be done by the 3d & 4th platoons marching by files to to the right, and the 7th h 8th to the left of the front line; the Light Infantry and Rifle corps inclining, the one to the right and the other to the left, to give room to thefe troops to form. The evolution to receive the enemy in the rear is precifcly the fame as receiving them in front, excepting that in the latter cafe, both lines face to the rear. To receive the enemy in front and rear, the front line faces to the front and the rear line to the rear. To receive the enemy in either flank, when the troops are on the line of march, the cofumns faco to the right or left as the cafe maybe. To receive the enemy in front, flanks and rear.the hollow Iquareis formed, in which cafe the four guards which were in the front.' rear and flanks will form acrofs the angles, or retire within the fquarc as they may be direaed ; and in all cafes, when the line is engaged, thefe two corps, via. the Light Infantry and Riflemen will make ince flint and brifk attac ks on the enemy, conftantly endeavouring to turn his flank. The commmder in chief expeas that all the oflicers, particularly thofe of the high. rr prades, will exert themfelves on this occafion and endeavor to underftand the evolutions herein direaed He will take pleai fure in giving inflruaions to all that fhall call upon him for that pu'pofe.
