The veterans, from 4o to go years of age, were, it was reported by the Newfpapers, to be difcharged: at this I was much furprized for I expeded thefe veteranswould have been feleded into one company of each regiment, and officered troth it, for the fer vice of the - Weft Indies, becaufe hot climates agree better with old than young men, nor are they fo fubjed to fevers. As a proof of the truth of this, I find by our re gifler very few old foldiers have died of fevers within the tropics, nor do the proportions to thole of young men bear a compa rifon. Warm weather invigorates old age ; but the blood of youth is eafily inflamed by great ex ercife or intemperance, and both produce thofe fe vers which are fo quickly fatal. Alcompany of each regiment of theft veterans being fent to the Weft Indies would be a formidable force, and might be eafily recruited by the oldeft foldiers each regiment, at little or no ezpence. to Govern. ment ; and a (mall additional pay might be al lowed thefe veteran companies, and which formerly was furnifhed by the Wands. But lhould complete regiments of young men be now fent to the Weft Indies, the recruiting fervice will go on finely at home, and very little advantage be derived from it, though attended with great expence. The young foldiercremaining at home will form a re petable force of aftive men for the defence and population of the kingdom.
