In case of its being difficult to ascertain imme-

In the present most important and critical con.

therein recommended, His Royal flightless the
Commander in Chief has authorized the Generals
commanding Distrias, to defray the exrence of
numbering the Waggons, and of 'providing the
Seats to be slung upon them in case of emergency.

As the expence also of such Carriages as may be
thought necessary for the use of the Volunteer force
will be defrayed by the Public, it 13 presumed that
the Lieutenancy will, find no difficulty in allotting
such as are most fit for the purpose, especially as it.
is not intended, when the allotment shall
,have been
made, that either Carts or Waggons sh(iUld be di-
verted from their ordinary use, until the exigency
of affairs shall require it.
In order the more of eetually to insure the regu.
far attendance of the Members of Volunteer Culp
at InspeEtions, I am to inform your Lordship that
