CON GRF. S S having rcfolved to raise a Corps
consisting of Infantry and Cavalry, to be
commanded by General Count PULASKI. All those
who desire to di^inguilh themselves in the service of
/their Country, are invited to enlist in that corps,
which is established on the fame principles as the Ro
man Legions were. The frequent opportunities
which the nature of the service of that corps will offer
to the enterprizing, brave and vigilant soldiers who
shall serve in it, are motives which ought to influence
those who are qualified for Admission into it, to pre
fer it to other corps not so immediately defined to
harrafs the enemy; and the many captures which
will infallibly be made, must indemnify the legionary
soldiers for the hardships they mus t sustain, and the
inconsiderable sum given for bounty, the term for
their service being no longer than one year from the
time that the corps shall be completed. Their frefs
is calculated to give a martial appearance, and to se
cure the soldier against the inclemency of the weather
and season. The time for action approaching, those
who delire to have an opportunity of didinguifhing
themselves in that corps, are requeued to apply to
Col. Koiuatcb, at Eafton, to Major Julius, Count of
Mont-Fort, at head-quarters, or at Mafor Betken's
quarters at Trenton.
