Orders' have been received at the Head-quarter!! •
of the Portimouth Division of Royal Marines, to
send out Recruiting Parties in different dircaiOni
to enlist men for thu: Corps ; ano twelve full parr
ties weje appointed to go On that service as soun:as
possible. Similar orders were also sent to the Coat.
mantling Officers of the Chatham and Plymouth
Divisions, and a bounty of five guineas is to be
given to every recruit.
There is no truth in the report mentioned in
some of the Papers, that Mr. LLOYD is to succeed
Mr. BENJAFIELD as Lord Worrwottnes Private
Secretary at Paris. Mr. BENIAIIIILD, now Si
Bath for the recovery of his health has already ex-
perienced so much benefit from the waters, that beg
fore the lapse of two months he will resume hie
Official situation in Paris, at this very time kept opal
for him.

them
had not been paid for the last half year 01 1791'
and the first half year of 4798, for which they
had received debentures upon the produce of the
taxes ; that some of them had not .even receive
the fourth part of specie which they wed to We
had in the 4rst half year of 1797; that none',
except Land-holders, or 'persons who were other*
wise liable to a considerable amount of taxe3t
could derive any advantage from the law of the
first of Oftober, 1798, einpovetring the Annei,7
tants to apply to the Dahentures for the arrears
due to them in payment of Contributions. The
Petition conchides with requesting that these PC'
hentures may be. funded in the same manner as the
other desctiptions of debt which are pot in a train
of liquidation, should the state of Oil Finances not
admit of Government paying them in specie.",
The only redress which the Petitioners received,
was to have their representation referred to th 6
Government.
