that a> similar 'success would attend the volunteer_

rience of the "encouragement and success which they had
met their applications to .the War. Department:of
the late and 4isting Government. The approval and.
condescension of hat. Majesty waz known to the nation

would have done-great injury to the mofethenf. They
knew perfectly well' that if the gentlemen.who issued
the Lord Chamberlain's 'mandates,' attempted to carry
out that which he would only speak of is an: attempt
at present, the result would be most lanientable to the
volunteer service. They had
„never set themselves-
up as equal with officers of the• line; that would be,
.preposterohs :They were -men of business, and obliged
to steal an hour er-so in the day to go. to drill; and'they
did not attempt. to he on an equality with &bile profes-
sional gentlerden, to whom they could LlPt render too
much honour ; but still there wai a position which was,.
understood to attach to their commissions, and that posi-
tion of honour must and should he maintained. He
warned the Lord Chamberlain to take heed to his acts. If
the Government were ignorant of what this official was
about, it would be well in them at once to heal the wound
he had opened. The .Yolunteers of England made great
sacrifices in the cause of their country, and would not
subniit to any of the entrage4 of Ourtkeyisrit. They
asked not hireling's pay, and would not tolerate the
treatment now endeavoured to be forced upon them.
They loved theft: goveteign, and in return for the services
cordially. and without price given to the country, they
demanded, at least, the honour justly attaching to their.
commissions., lJniess prompt reparation was made for
'the insult fie:complained of, the volunteer forces of Eng-
land Would at once lose all their
