Some of the Evening Papers of yesterday, I,oith_
out any authentic-information themselves,- blindly
copied a statement from a Morning Paper.; that; the
Ratification of the Definitive Treaty had been sent
off on Monday. There is another Statement re-
speaing it this morning, in the Paper alluded to,
which the same Evening Papers will no doubt copy
again, but which, we believe, is equally unauthen+
ticated and unfounded.

We have to caution the Public against.ill founded
Statements which they too often see in'the other
Evening Papers, of events in Sr. Domingo, as well
as other quarters of the •Globe. Every idle rumour
is caught at by them, and pompously detailed as a
faa. From this species of deception it shall ever
be our study to •guard the Public. -
By the proceedings. of • the, House of Comni9ns
last night, the learn the intentions of
Government in regard. (O theititure Establishment of
the Militia. The outline:of-I'lle present plan is to
augment the Militia of England to 6o,ooo—that of
Scotland to 12,000 men. His -MA J ESTY is to be
authorized to call out any proportion of this number
whenever it may be deemed expedient. They are to
be exercised twenty-one days in each year, and the
annual expence is not to exceed 240,0001. They
are to be enrolled in four distind classes—First,
young unmarried men—Secondly, married men with-
out children—Thirdly, married men who have only
one child ;—and Fourthly, elderly and married men
who have more than one child. They are to be di-
vided thus, in order that the Lieutenants of Coun-
ties may have a better opportunity of selection,
whenever the public emergency does not require the
whole of the Militia to be embodied.

Besides disbanding most of the Militia, as well
as the Fencibles, on the z4.►h of this month, the
Guards will likewise shortly be reduced to• their
original establishment, the Officers of which will be
placed on half-pay ; but those of the Militia and
Fencibles will not receive any pay beyond the time
they are disbanded, as was at first imagined.
A Battalion of the Guards yesterday marched for
Windsor, to relieve the Staffordshire Militia, about
to march for their own County for the purpose of
being disembodied-.
The Dorset Militia is ordered. to Dorchester, and
the North Hams to Winchester.
