LOYAL NORTH BRITONS.

A General 'Meeting of the Gentlemen of *this
Corps of Volunteer's was held on Monday evening
at the Crown and Anchot Tavetn, in the Strand.

The purposes of the Meeting were, to consider ►
of the propriety of Address from the Corps to
His Majesty, and to receive and decide upon cer-
tain reeopmendations from the Committee, relative
to the nomination of Officers, anti to several other
matters of necessary atrangement.
JAMES MACINTOSH, Esq. of Lincoln's Inn, WAS
ailed to. the Chair. He opened the business of the
Meeting in a speech of the. most impressive and ani.
mating eloquence. He handsomely give his thanks
to his loyal fellow.countrymen for the distinlion
with which they honoured him, in calling him to
the Chair.' He reminded them, that to sacrifice
every other interest to the Defence of the IndepentL
ence of their Country had been, for ages, the-most
eminent charaeleristic of the spirits of North Bri..
tons. Their Patriotism hadr from the memory, he
said, of their remotest forefathers, been supported
by a native courage, by a dautoless.rnagnanitnity of
valour, to which not another 'nation-on earth had
refused to do -homage. The generous zeal with
which the Gentlemen who were, present now stood
forth, devostng their lives to the defence and, glory
of their COuntry, in chit grand crisis of her danger,
approved them the worthy heirs of those Liberties,
'and of that high reputation of intrepidity and pa-
triotiLm,. which so many of their heroic Ancestors
had bled 'to sustain." Proud of his alliance to the
ancient glory of Scotchmen, he Was, if possible,
yet more proud to rank himself as she Comrade in.
arms of the generous high•minded Band whom he
saw around him. They awaited no compulsive call.
They came forward to offer nocold.blooded indiffe_
rent service. They claimed, with impatience, the
honour—to stand the foremost in the imminent
deadly breach.,-to oppose th-e,ir, breasts, for a wall
of defence, before all that was dear to the social
and domestic affeftions of Britons-s---to press their
indignant steps against the first steps that an in.
vading Enemy should dare to tread,on tl;e British
Shores. They were warmed with all the zeal .of
the Religion of Patriotism. 'Taking the engage.
ments of the Corps, they gave an inviolable sacra.
mental pledge to their Country, , that they would
shed their last blood' in her defence. It was 'not to
be imagined that there could be a man among them
who did .not enter the Corps with an ambition, the
darling pission of his soul, actually to die for his
Country. By the hlnod of .the'' Heroes who died
and triumphed with WA L I. AC E 'aha with BRUCE-7-
by 'those whose resistance mastered the attempts of
the French on Ireland—by those who fell, and those
who conquered, on the Plains of Alexandria, and
amid the ruins of Acre—never should a Gallic Fue
prevail, where there existed a North Briton to
meet his ann. Irishmen, Englishmen, and Scotch-
men rose up, with united' hearts, as with equal
trepidity of soul, to vow to prove, that no French.
man should approach these shores in hostile enter.
prise, but to find a dishonourable grave. That
Union, sealed where an Irish and an -English Ge-
neral seconded,c,while• a ScottLlt one, Sir RALPH
AntKCItOMBY, glorion,ly led and fell sealed
where a Dow:LAS and an, OLDF E fought under
the command of Sir SIDNEY SMlTH—that Uni,ll
was a pledge to the Inhabitants of these Isles, that
they never should he subdued.--s-After art effusion.
of a series of other highly impassioned and patriotic,
sentiments, • Mr. Miss: J sro,ll_, saggeSted, that it,
might be proper, for the present, to
'postpone Itie
Address which ithad been proposed to be presented
to His Majesty : and. he concluded with intros using
to the attention of the Company, a -young Gentle,
man, Mr. THOMAS CAM P LL, who had prepared
an Ode, which he had composed to excite the lolta.'
•bitants of this Country to its Defence against Inva.

sion. It is itnpoAble to describe the
applause, of 'patriotism,. and -of heroic emotio•
which burst often out among the hearers while 1\11:
MACINTOSH was speaking.
Mr. Cismez ELL% Qde was heard with testimonies
of extraordipiry approbation.
The Meeting then approve, the nomination 0
W. ADAM, Esq. and of JAMES MACINTOSH, .li" q.
to be Captains' in the Corps; and of -some othvi
Gentlemen to be Lieutenants. g'opi matters ot
arrangement were decided upon, and the ,Meeting
broke' up. • ,

Sunday morning the z4.th ult. two sons, one- •
aged nine, the other eleven, of Mr. MILES, a re-.
speaable farmer at Ashbruitler Somerset, were.
drowned in a pond near the house. It is SUN
posed one fell in, and the other in attempting to
save him was dtowned himself. They were found
within a few. yards of each other, and one of them
standing uprrght, with the water just over his head;
though they were missed but a very little time,, all
means of restoration proved in .vain.
The zeal anti patriotism of this Country were
never more displayed than at the present. Moment.
The Subscription at LLOYD'S; and the various
public spirited Addresses, excite our
admiration
and gratitude : but individual exertion no less
claims our recommendation ; among these we have
to rate Messrs. 'LANE, NEWMAN, and Co. Minei'var
Office, Leadenhall-street, who„ with true British
ardour, have been indefatigable in circulating a little
Work intitled, the " Soldier's Companion," at the
moderate price of Sixpence ; and so universally 11.1 s
it been distributed, that nor a Volunteer Corps in
the Kirigti3M is without this useful military rale
Mecum.
