It will promote, for Mining pursuits, a perfect organization of indeperident emigrants, who, being generally unacquainted w.th such Occupations, will derive; from an efficient direction, having at com mend. an requisite machinery and supplies, benefits not otherwise attainable. 2. It will facilitate the emigration of persons associated with this Company for Mining purposes, more especially by procuring, at the earnest available moment, the grand desideratum of cheap steam "nveYance; and the arrannements of this Company preclude all risk of loss in respect of any abandonment of engagements on the part of the emigrants. 3. The Company is free to select its grouid of operations wherever the direction of labour may lead to the most beneficial results. 4. The Peen:tar Inducements to Emigrants in joining this under taking, will b e the large remuneration to the working parties (that being fixed at not less than 75 per ce nt. of the net p roduce of their labour), and the mutual security, protection, and economy of the systematic co-operation contemplated by the project. 5. To Shareholders, besides the large anticpated returns on their "Pits], the special and acknowledged advanta;es of the Cost-book are also secured, viz. Exemption from the Joint-Stock Companies' Registration Act, and from the ordinary law of partnership. Direct and constant control, at the bi-monthly meetings, over the Company's affairs. lie personal responsibility of Shareholders for any act but their own. 6. An appiication will be made for a Royal Charter to extend the flowers of the Association on its being constituted ; and the great public utility of the design, leaves no doubt that the favour of the Government will be evinced by the Incorporation of the Company. The Prospectus may be obtained at the offices; and applications for shares in the subjoined form, with a respectable reference, to be addressed to the Committee. (By order) W. F. G.

In no part of the British Empire can land be obtained on such easy terms, and with such present and prospective advantages. At no former period has so favourable an opportunity been pre sented for making eligible land investments in Ireland. It is a strange but unquestionatle truth, that at the present mo ment several hundred thousand acres of good reclaimable land may be bought in Ireland at prices scarcely higher than emigrants are compelled to pay for cleared land in our colonial back settlements. Owing to the legal difficulties that existed until lately to prevent the transfer of landed property in Ireland, and the exaggerated value generally placed upon it by its nominal owners, it was deemed hope less by English capitalists to seek permanent investments there, especially as the number of pauper tenants, in many instances, was so great as to make the Estates almost valueless, and to prevent all attempts at the introduction of an improved system of agri culture. The successful operation of the Encumbered Estates' Court, the remarkable decrease of the labouring classes of the Irish population exhibited by the late Census, and the universal desire to emigrate that now exists amongst the peasantry, solve the chief difficulty in the problem of Ireland's physical and social regeneration, and re move the most formidable obstacle to English enterprise la that quarter ; the only one where it has hitherto been conquered by the mere force of circumstances. The province of Connaught has been chosen because it offers un questionably a preeminently suitable field for the purposes of the Company, and still more because of the uniformly peaceful, loyal, and tractable character of its inhabitants. Practical :agriculturists, Travellers, and Tourists cf all Nations have concurred in bearing testimony to tae unparalleled scope for remunerative investment, which the counties of Galway, Mayo, Sligo, Roscommon, a-d Leitrim, present to parties possessing ade quate means and ability to reclaim and cultivate the soil, and deve lope the various industrial resources in which this highly favoured district abounds. The principal reason why a larger number of English and Scotch farmers have not been induced to take advantage of this splendid opening for the profitable employment of their skill and money, has been their reluctance to become isolated settlers in a country where their individual efforts coup effect little in improving the cultivation of the sell, or in the diminution of the poor -rates ; whilst they en tertain considerable apprehension for the safety of their persons and property, without the co-operation and protection of men possessing like habits and syMpathits, and engaged in the pursuit of similar objects. The Directors confidently hope that the project now laid before the public will effect the enlarged realization of the celebrated pro position of Sir Robert l'eel for the improvement alai colonization of Co. naught. The absence of Markets has hitherto done much to deter persons from becoming settlers, or engaging in any industrial enterprise in the West, this has been mainly attributable to the want of sufficient internal communication and means of intercourse with the metro polis ; the latter impediment to progress has already been removed in a great measure by the recent improvements in the navigation of the Shannon and the Western Lakes, and by the opening of a line of Railway teem Galway to Dublin ; while the now probable realize eion of the long-desired steam communication with America is another obvious source of a hitherto unknown prosperity. The most effectual mode of promoting a better system of Agricul ture is to bring it into immediate connexion with the manulacture of its own productions; the Company will therefore encourage the growth of such Commercial Plants, as may form the basis of exten sive and highly remunerative Manufactures. It was the original intention of its promoters, that the Company should itself undertake these manufactures, but upon more mature deliberation, it has been deemed prudent to limit its objects, and de vote its attention to the reclaiming, improvement, and reselling of land alone; at the same time that it is prepared to promote by all the means in its power the cultivation of root and textile plants so peculiarly suited to the soil and climate of Western Ireland, as Sugar-beet, Flax, Chicory, &c., &c. It is needless to insist upon the great advantages of a Royal Charter, by which the liability of a shareholder is limited to the amount of his shares, but even were this out of the question, it would be difficult to obtaln a better security for the outlay of capital than improvable land at its present prices in Western Ireland. A clause in the Charter provides for the allocation of ono-fourth of the subscribed capital as an " Improvement Fund," to be ex pended in effecting surface and arterial drainage, reclaiming, and generally improving and rendering marketable the estates of the Company. It is further provided, than on the sale of any of the lands of the Company, the produce is to be either divided rateably among the shareholders, or re-invested in further purchases. The Diractors feel that it does not become them to speak of the amount of anxiety and deliberation which they have bestowed in framing a plait at este° practicable in its details, and worthy of public conddenee, but they think that, it ought to be known as a fact caleelated to encourage those who embark their capital in this un dertaking, that the present is the only scheme out of many which have been submitted to the Board of Trade, whose professed objects and proposed operations have met the approbation of her Majesty's Government, as testified by the grant of a Royal Charter and the ap pointment of a Government Auditor. In a review of Mr. Digby Seymour's recent work* on Western Ireland, the " Bankers' Magazine" (Jan. 1e.52), after stating that the Reviewer's intention was to treat the question " simply as a financial one," thus emphatically pronounces its opinion upon the present scheme. " We believe it has a claim en the attention of capitalists that wit ensure its success." Other authorities abound in expressions, of a similar confidence, but the Directors feel that a simple statement of the views they entertrin, and the objects of the present undertaking, will not require the aid of authority, or any argument on their parts to ensure its favourable reception with a discerning public. They would, in conclusion, adopt the language of Mr. Seymour who thus sums up his argument in favour a Land Company, connexion with Western Ireland:— " A Land Company, possessing a large tract of country, lestabish ing the best system of Agriculture, working its 3lines and Fisheries if such there were—introducing new and important manufactures — its whole economy administered by men of skill, rectitude, and per severance—promoting habits of industry most effectually by insur ing permanence. of employment—opening frtsh markets in conse quence of the large operations which it alone, possessing an ample capital, could effect —hicumbered by no poor-rates, because employ ing the poor—too powerful for the attempts of petty prejudices -too self-reliant to be deterred from its path by intimidation —uninflu enced itselt by sectarianism, in politics or religion, and offering no impersonation of hostility, but approving itself to the good feeling of all by its practical patriotism—possessing the advantage of united counsels and associated energies—attracting to itself the hopes of all good men, and the confidence of the community—able in its collective capacity to approach the Government with such claims to a favourable attention as no private individual could advance — contemporaneously developing all the resources, agricultural, geolo gical, and manufacturing, of its possessions—l say that such a Com pany can alone undertake, with just hopes of success, a project at once so formidable in its difficulties—so 'veritable as a int•de of In vesc tnent—so full of immediate blessings, and of future hopes—in its conception, peradventure, weak and unimposing—in its execu tion, I trust, spirited and energetic - in its consummation, I would pray, the harbinger ef a nobler and happier deviny for reclaimed and regenerated Ireland!" * " How to Employ Capital in Western Ireland."

LtvEaroor., FEB. 14.—At yesterday's market the business was again limited in every article of the grain trade. Tuesday's quotations were continued, as holders were indisposed to make any concession of consequence, nor is there the least change to-day. MANCHESTER, FEB. 14.—N0 material change has occurred in the state of the trade during the week, a very inactive feeling having continued to prevail, but without any disposition nn the part of holders to relax in prices. Increased supplies of oats and oatmeal from Ireland have been received at Liverpool and Runcorn, but of other articles thence, or of any other produce coastwise, the imports are very light. From abroad not a single entry of wheat has been reported, the only arrivals con sisting of about 1,009 sacks of French and 400 barrels of Ame rican flour, and 4,000 quarters of Indian corn. At our market this morning, with a very limited amount of business passing, there was much disinclination manifested to give way in prices ; still where sales occurred in either wheat or four the turn must be noted slightly in favour of buyers. Oats and oatmeal firmly supported the currency of this day se'nnight. NOTTINGHAM, FEB. 14.—The supply et wheat at our market to-day was less than on last Saturday, and the trade was firm at the prices of that day. The supply of barley was not large, but the maltsters got the price down Is per quarter. Of oats there was a good show, without change in value. New beans were rather dearer. _ _ At Woodbridge ' wheat;asfirm, but barley was reduced ls. At Bury both wheat and barley maintained their rates; clover-reed was cheaper. • At Stowmarket good wheat sold quite as dear ; inferior samples were dull, but not cheaper. On Thursday, at the great barley-market of Herts, Bishop's Stortford, barley was Gd per quarter cheaper. DUBLIN, FEB. 13 —We continue to have a small supply of farmer's wheat with scarcely any prime quality, and we make a reduction of 6d per barrel in our extreme quotations of Tuesday. Superior samples of barley and oats• maintained their prices, but ether descriptions met a dull sale, and lower rates were submitted to.' Very little doing in foreign wheat, and Indian corn dull without change in price. DA LICBITH, FEB. 12.—The relative weight per four bushels of the three prices of wheat were 18st 51b, 18st 01b, and 16st 111 b. Oats, 12st 131 b, 12st 41b, and lOst 81b.

CORK, FEE. 13. The supplies of native grain are small and continue to be taken at full prices. Oats indeed are eagerly purchased at a further advance of 4d per barrel on black—the receipts for the week consist of 530 barrels of wheat, 808 of barley, and 4,883 of oats. The operations in the prepared and foreign market have been very limited, prices, however, rule about the same. We quote Mariano')le wheat 25s 6d to 26i ; Ghirka, 25s to 25s 64; Polish Odessa, .23s 6d to 24s 6d per barrel. The flour trade is dull, but quotations are not lowered. Bakers are in good stock, and unit their requirements again bring them forward, we do not look for much animation in this article. Indian corn has receded about 2s 6d per ton on the week, and the active demand which hitherto began in this month has not as yet manifested itself. Coarse and inferior flour seems gra dually being substituted for it. We write Gala'z, 71 ss; Ibrail, 71; and Ancona, 6/ 15s per ton, with a small demand. Barrels. Currency.

The Prome Governor was expected to reach Rangoon by the sth, when matters would most probably be settled satisfac torily. The necessity for the appointment of a consular agent at Rangoon to protect our interests, or rather those of the British residents, at that town, was urged on Commodore Lambert by the residents, and there is no doubt of their recommendation being attended to.

It is to be hoped that all necessity Lambert. for a resort to hostilities has been put an en d t o , f or no good end could be gained f r om fighting by e i t h er p arty; if we get everything we demand witho u t expense and bloodshed so much the better. A corresp on d ent o f t h e the • gv's gives the letter followingt 0 Commodor e accoun of the presentation o Calcutta E ngl f isitma i n c. i on board the Fox frigate:— " The scene on shorn at the wharf opposite the fri gate' when the letters w ere b rought down, was well worth seeing, but requires a better pen than mine to describe with full effect. There were armed men sta tioned on both sides of the road, as far as the eye could reach, in the most grotesque and mixed uniforms. A discharge of heavy guns was heard in the distance, which we knew to be at the Governor's house, from the position of the smoke, and also that they were intended as a salute to the letter, moat probably at the moment of its departure. It about 25 minutes after, three splendid elephants wore observed coming towards the wharf, with two or three people on each howdah, and eight golden umbrellas. All the other wharfs along the river were crowded with spectators. The elephants were brought close to the wharf ewhen they knelt down and the riders dismounted; after a short delay, three boats were seen approaching the frigate in line, and in them officers of different ranks, several of whom came on board, while their boats shoved off to make room for the fourth boat, bearing the letters, which were placed in the bows, to prevent any one being in front of them, and shaded from the sun by three golden umbrellas.' " The forces ordered to assemble, at Roree, in Upper Scinde, are all on their way. What the object of its as semblage can be is matter of conjecture. Ali Moored, of Khyrpore, has not the least intention of opposing us, and is encamped at Bores, awaiting the arrival of the Commissioner to learn what it is all about, offering to bring his contingent to operate with us, as be imagines we aro bent on something. Mr. Frere left Kurachee on the 29th of December, and Kotree for Rocco on the 10th. General Manson, on whom the command of the force has devolved, left Hyderabad on the same day for the same destination. The Kurachee troops, under Brigadier Stopford, 64th Foot, were encamped at Hyderabad, awaiting orders to move upwards. The Meehan brigade moved out of that city on the 3d, under Brigadier Hewitt, and was to move down on Khyrpore, vid Baba wulpore and the Indus. The ruler of Herat is said to have solicited our aid to prevent himself from being de posed by Dust Mabomed of Cebul, and that this is the cause of the assemblage of troops in Upper Scinde, whence they will proceed to Herat. This is extremely improba ble; we had enough of such folly in 1839 42, to prevent eur embroiling ourselves again in Central Asia, un less ' destiny' is again at work urging ui on. The force which will shortly be congregated at Rocco will be as follows:—Iler Majesty's 64th Foot, Ist troop of Bom bay Horse Artillery, Ist company of Sappers and Miners, Brett's Battery of Bombay Artillery, a company of Bengal European Artillery, the 21 Scinde Horse, the sth Bengal Irregular Cavalry, the Ist and 15th Bombay and 12th and , 11 . t Bengal N at i ve I nfa ntry--in in all pro bably full 6,500 en The sioge train is also in prep:- ration at Sukkur, which certainly gives some colouring to the idea that we are about to proceed somewhere and do something, but where and what are profound secrets. Tho invalids of her Majesty's regiments from the Pon' jsub and north-west reached Ilydera,bad by the Indus on the Bth and 9th, and left on the 1011 for Kurachee, where the Berenice and Auckland steamers await their arrival to bring them on to Bombay.

Cerrup- ' " A party of a score of Moplabs, on the sth or 6th, entered the house of a wealthy native near Cannanore, and murdered him and his family, in all 15 persons; the cause being that the man had, a short while before, been at law with some of their friends and gained his cause. A company of her Majesty's 94th, and two of the 16th Madras Native Infantry, under Captain Hodgson, of the latter corps, had gone oat from Cannanore after the mur derers. " You will, it is believed, shortly have a visit from the ex-Rajah of Coorg, 'who intends going to England, accompanied by Major Drummond, of the 3d Bengal Cavalry. " The new steamer of 2,000 tons and 800-horse power, the building of which has lately been ordered by the Court of Directors, is being rapidly proceeded with; she will be one of the finest vessels afloat. A fellow to her is to be constructed at home. They will ouch cost 12 lacs of rupees, or 120,0001. sterling. The American steam-frigate Susquehanna, 3,000 tons, reached Pont de Galle on Christmas-day, on her way to China. " The weather at Bombay is now delightfully cold, and Europeans enjoy it much; but it is causing the death of numbers of the poorer class of natives, who are badly clothed and worse housed, cholera being very prevalent, caused by bad food and exposure to the cold. " Trade has been languid during the fortnight, and prices of manufactured goods very low and unremunera ting. Freights are low, and there is a large amount of tonnage in harbour. At Calcutta, however, matters in this respect aro much worse than at Bombay. • " Colonel Rich, 6th Bengal Native Infantry, has suc ceeded General Whish on the divisional staff. Major E wart, 55th; Captain Stokes, 59th; and Ensign Battine, 43d Bengal Native Infantry, have obtained furloughs to England.

CHINA. The following is our correspondent's letter, dated Hong-Kong, December 30, 1851 : " Ad vices from England to the 24th of October reached us on the 15th inst. The chief matter of importance ,hat we have to record this month is the totardestruc- Lion of nearly the whole of the Chinese part of this town, 470 Lb 500 houses having been totally destroyed by fire on the night of the 28th. It is understood to have arisen from the firing off of crackers. Had it not been for a slight breeze springing up from the east, and the blow ing up by the engineers and artillery of several houses to stop the flames from extending, a great proportion of the European part of the town would also have been de stroyed, more particularly as there are grounds for be lieving that much gunpowder is stowed away in ware houses, notwithstanding the law to the contrary, and the punishment thst may be inflicted for so doing. Ordi nances, however, have been found here, as must every where be the case, of no use in the absence of an efficient police " The Governor has ordered mat sheds to be erected, and food to be distributed among the needy. A good number of Chinese have, it is said, lost their lives. " We have now, however, to mention the most melan choly result of the fire—the deaths of Colonel Tom kyns and Lieutenant Sngg, of the Royal Artillery. Two privates of the same corps lie seriously wounded, and Lieutenant Wilson, of the Royal Engineers, in a pre carious state. The party were employed in blowing' up a house. The gunpowder from some cause exploded sooner than was expected, and while 'they were inside the building. Colonel Tomkyn3 was talrea up sensible, but expired four hours afterwards. Lieutenant Sugg's body was entirely consumel by the fire; nothing but his sword was left. Tho death of men not only justly and highly esteemed in their profession; but beloved end re spected by all, has cast a gloom over the community, as it, no doubt, will over a vast number of friends at home. " The Kwangsi rebellion continues, and the reports re specting it are, as hitherto, numerous eni contradictory. The rich men of Canton have been called upon by Seu, the Viceroy, to subscribe large sums towards the ex penses of the war. `• The Canton market for imports has been rather in. active. " Tea both at Shanghai and Canton has declined, and in both markets a considerable business in blacks has been done. The excess of export this year to Great Britain to this date is about 3,300,0001 b. In silk there is no alteration.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. REPORT ON THE STATE OF THE BOMBAY MARKETS, FROM THE 3D Ti) THE 16TH OF JANUARY INCLUSIVE. MONEY-MARKET. The money-market continues in the same easy state as fur some time past, and we have to report what is very unusual indeed at this season of the business year, a reduction in the rates of interest at the Bank of Bom bay. The directors of that institution were only able to divide at the rate of !i per cent, per annum fur the half year just ended, and, as they had 60 lacs of rupees lying idle in their coffers, the present measure had doubtless been adopted with a view to bringing these funds into use, and, if possible, raising the rate of dividend on the current half-year's operations.

GENERAL SIR CHAR S NAPIER NATIONAL 11EFENCE. .18 moss distinguished an d experienced offic et ha s 30 come before the world in the shape of a pamp nleteer OD the national defences. He thus concludes his t cern .mon-zonee brochure:— " I have not, ;in this pamphlet,' entered much in t 3 the question of improving arms, became writers in abur dance, with names and without names, have said enoug h to make our troops lose confidence i n the queen. of weapons,'—viz., the musket and bayonet, which, as far as I can judge, is the best. However, m en w i th as much experience, and who aro better soldiers than I am, bold contrary opinions. Still I maintain that before th e musket and bayonet are condemned, these gentlem en ought, in common fairness, to do that which they have not yet done—viz., have a musket made which costa as much money as the minie rifle, to compare with the latter weapon. They produce a highly•tinished, beau tiful minie rifle, costing a large sum of money, and they try it on Woolwich practice-ground. Now, 1 have not any confidence in such a trial, where a musket, which Costs about a pound, is pined against a minie riff.) that cost:. probably t•ii or fifteen guineas. Lot the musk:q cost fif.e:n guineas, en] then try it. Let the powder used with both bet the very worst that can he made (fur on such the !'ate of a campaign may, by the accidents of war, depend). Take two hardy, uncouth, stupid soldiers •; give one the simple hut well-finished musket, costing ex:zotly the t 3 ti ,) price as the minie rifle, with which arm the other soldi er . Let ach fire sixty roun d s , an d t h en change arms, and fire sixty snore, the whole with bad powder; and it the min: a beats the musket in rapid firing, in range, and in hitting the target, which should be six Fa ds loug by 5-ix feet in height, and that the mitre has exactly the musket bore, and the ammunition nut ereavier, then I think the rainie rifle should lint tried by two whole regiments as a further experiment, and those regiments should fire Go rounds of ball cartridge every day, alternately, for one year; and let two more regiments, with muskets as costly and well-finished as the mime rifles, be tried in like manner. Then the results, noted accurately in all their details, would be in some degree decisive; but both w eapons mast always bo used with the worst description of po w d er, and by two --robing regiments, commanded by men who will suffer a to be played off, and to be unde r t h e command .riot general officer. I laugh at battle powder, een-guinea rifle, used by a dead shot, and alt humbug,' with champagne luncheons at Woolwich, to the great damage of officers' pockets, and 'distinguished foreign travellers' iv_ pleading. This is no trial of weapons fit for war. Firing in a dark night, rainy weather, tired soldiers, clumsy fingers, made snore stiff by cold, empty bellies, not a drop of champagee to wash the experiment down, but . ts stern will to shoot all foreigners' the moment they become distinguished' is the gloom of the night or dawning -of the day! 'We do not want fire-arms in the infantry for individual combat, but for combat in masses, where the nice aim of the deerstalker is not wanted, and human nature will not take it till men grow old in war . and. become more calm in danger than those who are'less practised; and even then the veteran cannot see through the dense smoke of battle; he knows well that to level low and to lead quick is his game. If the minie rifle be really an improved musket, I have not another word to say against it; but this is not yet proved; and before the nation arms its 100,000 men with such weapons, the fact should be very clearly demonstrated. For my part, I don't think the old distich holds good as regards ' Brown Bess'— 'Tis good to be off with the old love Before you are on with the new.' I would by no means ' be off with my old love,' till the new one's temper bas been bettor tried. However, you gentlemen, whose chief work would be distant shots, avoiding a close encounter with the enemy, unless a good opportunity offers for skivering him,' as the soldiers say; you racy have battle powder' and champagne too, if you please; you may try the minis rifle. The weapon that best pleases you who are dead shots is the best for you, always provided that it carries a musket ball; for there must not be two sizes of ball for the small arms of an army. This is imperative. " One subject more, and I have done, for my pamphlet is already too long. It is on railroads, to which the public appears to me to attach an undue importance. I do not much like to say anything about this, because the subject fo railroads b ears on t h e grand gene ral plans of defence which the Duke has no doubt formed in his own mind, and will execute, if you gentlemen give him the means of execution; and on these any suggestions from a humble individual like myself would be presumptuous and im pertinent in the extreme. But I am free to say that I cannot see any great military advantage in the rail ways. The trains may perhaps be used with advantage in bringing troops together rapidly at first —say the first two or three days. They may also possibly be useful in bringing provisions together. But beyond the first days I see no advantage. The movements of contending ar mies could not be regulated by railways for one moment. I imagine they would embarrass a commander, for they would force him to make movements to cover them or to take them up. I confess that I have not much faith in railways as regards war, except in India. In the foregoing pages I have carefully abstained from politics. Ido nut pretend to conjecture whether the President of France will invade England, or whether he will first quarrel with other powers, or maintain peace. I neither know his character nor his intentions nor what be may be forced to do by circumstances. He may endeavour to make the Rhine ;the French frontier. He may attack Egype He may attack Malta. He may invade Etiglate , . lie may take the Channel islands. He may invac,. Ireland. Ile may ploy the part of Wash ington. 11 - -, easy do a'l these things. Ho has the courage, the utilities, the strength, and the secrecy nrocssary ; but I have entered into no discussion of such matters, beeauie it is not risc2saiy to my object, nor would it be becoming in one who neither hes, nor seeks to have any public employ ment, but who his nine of that want of moral courage which fears to be ridiculed as 'an alarmist.' I laugh when I see men begin with lam no alarmist,' and go on to show that they are. I think that, when every one believes-the country to be in danger we should prepare to meet it I Ido not believe that there is any danger if we are bold and prepared to meet it; but I believe we are in great danger it we arc not prepared. I shall not be listened to. How can an humble individual like myself expect to be listened to, when by the Duke of Wellington you have born forewarned' and are not fore-armed?' The greatest and the bravest men in England have sounded the alarm, and aro not listened toI But if invasion takes place I shall have the satis faction of knowing that, in my own small sphere, I did my best to avert danger by preaching preparation, show ing that without great expense we can, by a few hours of drill in the week, place England in such a posture that to invade her would be an enterprise, if not beyond the power of France, at least demanding her whole fere°. and even then prove fruitless I As recollect number of ou r regular troops is small you should India you could recal your 30 , 000 r o a l i d se so E ld u i r e o r p s ea a n t troops once and let the East India Companyfor itself. It ties ohemery six turopean battalions of its own, which are as good as ours. "Finally, I. bold that the militia and vol unteers, neither of which oan leave England, era the proper forces to prepare for danger in time of peace. Confined to the single object of defence, the arming of such a force can give no cause of um b rage to other nations. Tee whole world know that no government can or d e r a s in gle i man cemposing suc h a force to leave our saores. It depends on you, gentle men, to organise such a force, and, dour, I should say that England when once this is is safe, because she would then have a force of such power that she could not be attacked without those great preparations on the part of an enemy th at would i . ,ive time to make more ex tended arragetneuts on ours. Th e sma ll i ncrease of re gular troop s now orders (' is a plain proof that there is some appiehension on the part of our government. "As to our naval defence I knew nothing.
