merous- Meeting was held on Monday, at the George
Inn, Sittingbourne; when the Lord. Lieutenant, in
a prefatory discourse, introduced. the subjed of
the Meeting, in which he was supported by the
Lord Watden with that force and energy of language
so peculiarly his own ; and a • long list of Resolu.
tions were unanimously adopted ; the principal of
which were, that the Volunteers for the County of
Kent and City anti County of Canterbury, should be
'increased to 3 5,090, and for the Cinque Ports and
their Members to 5000, in order to exempt the
County from the further operation of the Defence

the purpose of defraying Eh,: cxpenee. of clothing at

All the Bills drawn by the French Commanders in'
, . .

have been refused payment. This is nut all: the
French Government has declared that many of
those Bills are false, have been drawn WithOlft AU-

of London at present to the amount. of 300,0001.
which have been temitttl by British MerCiiants
from the West Indies.
,One Gentleman, • Mr.

by Mr. Lr NDO th'at Gen. RoctrAma EAU pUblialled
the notice which appealed in our Paper of Monday,
in dontradielii)n to an article which appeared in tne

with some heat, foreseein4 thy! which
the discredit thrown on the 11:1!;„ niight bring on
