Captain Camraect. (son of Lord CAwDoit), were
lately called out, agreeable to the Peace Regula-
tion, upon their
,five days muster and inspection,
in the neighbourhood of Pembroke. - The truly
respectable and military appearance of tids corps
is certainly highly creditable to themselves and
Officers; and their efficiency as a volunteer body
must always lank high, from the circumstance of
their marching tint, in conjunction w;th the Pem-
broke Infantry Volunteers, against the French
troops, about 1400 in, tnimh4, who, it will be
remembered, landed in Fisgard Bay in 1797. On
this occasion the whole of the French troops
surrendered themselves prisoners, and the two
frigates that egoveyed diem to France were both
eaptured'upon their return by some of our
mixers.
