() R DER S.
THE operating force of the army having fuf
fered great dimunition by the number of
soldiers made use of as servants, by persons of dif
ferent denominations, not immediately connect
ed with the line.
The General, anxious to have the regiments in
the most collected state, and as refpe&able as
possible, at the opening of the ensuing campaign,
Orders, That in future no person belonging to
the civil ftaff, be permitted to take a Soldier as a
servant ; and that those gentlemen in that de
partment who now have such, return them to
their refpeCtive regiments or corps, on or before
the firft day of April next ; by which time he
hopes they will be able to provide themselves
otherwise, without inconvenience.
Officers commanding corps are desired to pay
particular attention to this order, and directed
immediately to recal such of their men, as are ab
sent without proper authority, especially those
with officers who have retired from the service.
The General is astonished to find by the re
turns, that some of the absentees are accounted
for in the manner last mentioned.

The ROYAL ADVENTURER.
PRINCE William of the Brunswick race
To witness George's fad disgrace
The royal Lad came over
Rebels to kill by Right divine ;---
Deriv'd from that illullrious line,
The beggars of Hanover.
So many chiefs got broken pates
In vanquishing the rebel States,
So many nobles fell,
That George the third in passion cry'd,
" Our royal blood shall now be try'd;
- 'Tis that mull break the spell;
To you (the fat pot-valiant SWINE
To Digby said) dear friend of mine.
To you I trust my boy.
The rebel tribes shall quake with fears,
Rebellion die when he appears;
My tories leap with joy."
So said, fd done—the boy was sent,
But never reach'd the continent
An island held him faft—
Yet there his friends danc'd rigadoons,
The Hessians sung in high Dutch tunes
" Prince William's come at last."
" Prince William comes I" —the Briton cry'd—
The glory of our empire wide
Shall now be soon reffor'd—
Our monarch is in William seen,
He is the image of our queen,
Let William be ador'd !
The tories came with long address,
With poems groan'd the Royal press
And all in William's praise—
The boy aftonifh'd look'd about
To find their vast dominions out,
Then anfwer'd in amaze,
" Where all your empire wide can be,
Friends for my foul I cannot fee :
It's but an empty name ;
Three wafted islands and a town
In rubbish bury'd—half burnt down,
Is all that we can claim :
I am of royal birth, 'tis true,
But what alas, can princes do,
No armies to command?
Cornwallis conquer'd and diftreft--
Sir Henry Clinton grown ajeft—
I curse—and leave the land."
