A report has lately been very prevalent that the army were to have the benefit of an Increafe to their pay, a Meafurethis, which it adopted by our Govern meat; mutt be attended with the happieft advantage to indisiduils and the community at large. I ant' fo forcibly (truck with the jullice and neceffity of filch a ftep, that at this particu lar juncture I would will to he an hunible flapper to our refpefted Reprefenta tivei in the Senate.—After a fevere conteß Of ten years, during which period the army acquired that deferred praife and that diflinguifbed honour, which the courage; gallantry, and fortitude, dirolayed on Co many oceafioas and the refult of thei rental cam paigns fo fully entitled them to, they find themfelves again called on to defend their country, to gain fiefit conquells, and to add an increafed luflre to our be loved country; at the found of Invafion the heart of elicit tardier burns with a generous fire, and pants for the opportunity of trampling on the deluded enemy. If an expedition be in agitation, with what joy out army looks forward to the event, how eagerly they expel the time when they may once more leap on the hoftile fhore, carry deftrudion into the thick. eft ranks of their oppofers, and by affault or florin, gain another glorious eidery r nor is this the lan guage of Mon ;—ls Egypt forgotten Is Holland forgotten ? where, notwithftanding the numberlefs dill - 6116a which oppofed bur troops, to the greater part of whom the field:of battle was a novel fcene, and the great ruperimity In numbers of the enemy's veteran forces, viftory attended our arms in every. attack—is St. Lucia forgotten ?on the contrary, do riot there fcenes live npoh the memory, and does not the tecolledion of them gladden the heart of every Englifitman ? And what ftimulates our army to there heroic ads What invites our young men even in early infancy, to quit the lap of fond paternal care, and mix in fcenes of blood, and to offer themfelves a willing facrifice to their country, if Paovtozucs fhould fo appoint ? What induces many, on whom fortune may not &oils, to give the whole .of their little patrimony in the purchafe of a Commiffion, and others who can boaß no intereft but the welfare of their country, to mortgage at a heavy difadtan cage, their final! eftater, to procure themfelves a Rep of - rank, when it is confidered that no fituation in the army affords a provifion to an officer, and that it is impoffible for them to fupport themfelves on their pay, in the very profeffion they have purehafed at fo dear a rate ? My reply is their ooze twirls lasidawseve ismontfis erode, invites them to fuch great and glorious efts ; but fhould this be confidered •an adequate re• turn for their feivices, by thole who owe them fo much ? Should they be allowed to bear the limns and whips" of poverty, who ace at a moment ready (even as a matter of conrfe) to offer up their lives in defence of their country i rhe pay of the 'army has not been increafed, I believe; fume the,reign of Cumuli I. I need not fay how ample an income might have been efleemed then, which is now found to be inconfiderables many might have juftly •faid, a 8 Can Honour fet to a leg, or an at'm, or take away the grief of a wound."A- - -Yet too generous to utter a complaint, though they have fourtd Mars an un kind patron, they have continued to fcrve him faith. hlly the horizon, however, now feems to offer a more favourable afped, and our Goiernment appear to be of opinion, that the zealous, faithful fervices of the army, merit a more gracious return, than a fli pend infnfficient to procure them the bare necelTaats.• oralife. I Rrongly recommend them not to lore a moment in putting it in execution; if the officers of the army have acquitted themfelves nobly and ha nourably, when receiving fo fmafi an income, will they not perform wonders when they find themfelves poffelled of a comfortable fortune ? in every profer• lion but the army wealth may be acquired by zeal and fludious attention, and the fpring and rummer of life may lay up a fufficient lime for the autumn and winter : but, an individual not poffeffed of intereft, or money , may wade through the army for thirty or forty yeary end feel the revere preffure of want in the autumn of his days ; at this interefting period tits, when we may have fo long a battle to fight.— How neceffary is it to confider thole who play fo great a part? If the mere hint of fuch an event tak. tog place has already given fuch (pinks to the army, what may we not expect from its reality ? what gra titude, what joy, what conftancy and fervour would glow in every borone ! and is this too mach to ex pel? nay, have not their fervices a right to de mand it. Let Minitlets confider this, and I will venture to predia that the adoption of fuch a Rep will be at tended with the happieft cemfequences; that the na tion will hail it with delight; and that our . beloved Sovereign will never have reafon to repent his gra- Mons aequitfuence to a sneafure fo Wadable, which 1 has for its harp-7+116m • ~~ ...,.7111. ~~~ t
