                      from the adjutant of the regiment

select corps will obtain ^ the necessary information.

       The ceremony heretofore established for receiving the colours, 

is to be observed whenever the number of troops collected is sufficient to form a battalion: But in no inferior instance is either of the standards to be displayed; and both of them only, when the regiment is assembled.

        The principal manoeuvre for the days of review, will be 

the evolutions of the column, formed on the fifth plattoon; to the principles of which, as laid down by Steuben, the attention of the officers is particularly and urgently recommended.

     In order to facilitate the inspection, and enlarge the 

time for discipline, the captains and commanding officers of companies will have their inspection-rolls completed, each column added up, the totals placed at the foot, and the whole signed by themselves, before the inspection begins.

     It will be desirable to have the battalion musters take 

place in such succession, that the Commanding-officer & Inspector, of the brigade, may attend at each; but if it should happen otherwise in any instance, the commandant of the regiment will, in such case, direct an inspection by his adjutant, and transmit the inspection-rolls, complete, to the brigade-major.

    As soon as the commandants of regiments shall have 

fixed on the time & place of the battalion parades, they will please to give information thereof to the brigade-major.
