have received.youl obligin,„%7 letter of the 3d, hicks-
ing the very gratifying address of the General Meeting of the
Lieutenancy of Dumbartonshire: It was the zeal of the Lieu-
tenancy, generally considered, with their firmness and activity,
joined to the exertions of the Nlagistrates, and the willingness and.
vigour of the yeomanry and volunteers, which enabkd me to
carry into effect the suggestions of Government, with.regard to
increasing the armed force of the county, to support the civil au-
thorities. This salutary measure, every. rank in society must
perceive, and the Government must feel, has materially
tended to preserve the laws and the property of the -country at
large. I beg to state my obligations to .the gentlemen,.
yeomanry, and volunteers of the county of Dumbarton, who
stood forth with sa much creditable alacrity to defend the pre-
Scut order of things, which has afforded the greatest blessingS
('iny where known) to the inhabitants of this happy.country ;
and these sentiments, Sir, I will beg of you to have the goodness
to convey to the Lieutenancy, with my rospectful acknowledg-
ments to them for the support I have had on all occasions the
advantage of experiencing during the time I had the honour of
acting as his Majesty's Lieutenant.. •
• I remain, with great esteem, Sir, your obedient SerVant,
John Buchanan, E.F.q. of Ardoch, &c. MONTROSE.
