Contains the Advertisethent proposing, by public-
sUbscriptioti, to testify the sense entertained .by
the People-I-Tnt REAL PEOri.t--;OT England, of
the unifOrtnly and eminently good conduct of that

body of mett--The brave fart-GuArths: The

public-sPirited Gentlemen in whore has ori-
ginated this truly benevolent and praiseworthy
measure, but will readily give ptiblicitY to the
expression of individtial feeling upon this inte-
resting and ithportant subjeCt. Th4 exemplary
Manner in Which these fine gallant fellows per-

mains of the. late QUEEN, the humane forbear-

on that lathentable occasion, they hore the bru-

Surely It is highly deSirtible that the general
approbation shall be marked by some more sub-
stantial testimony, that some More substantial
Compensation shall be afforded for their unme-•
rite(' sufferings, that some more substantial reward
;hall be bestowed upon their unexceptionable be-
haviour, Whensoever their services have been re
quired in aid of the Civil Power.. Not to trouble
you with a lengthy communication, I have only
further to expreSs a fervent hope that the publiC
bounty will be worthy of a liberal and generou4
people ; that this public tribute will be such
that the sentiment conveyed by it shall be un-
equivocally and decisively national ; and that it
will be such as to convince the dark 'con-•
spirators against the public peace, that, if
they will plot together for the . purpose •of
deterring publie(men from a faithful discharge
of their duty by inspiring terror, or wearying
them out by creating disgust, the loyal and re-
spectable are resolved to counteract that system
of intimidation and outrage by opposing to it the
cheering assurance that, henceforward, no man
Shall suffer by his zeal for the public service.—
To Mr. BLADES and his patriotic friends the
thanks of the community, for their honourable
exertions in this honourable cause, 'are justly
due. Consonant as those exertions are to the
general feeling, and anticipated, as their kind
and beneficent purpose was by the general wish,
it is to be hoped that they will not suffer it to be
defeated by the rascally threats of the very- .
scribblers whose incendiary stimulants stirred up
the populace to the excesses which have*render-
ed this subscription more than expedient—a
duty.

norary Secretary of the Committee of Gentlemen who have so
laudably come forward in support of an insulted and injured
class of our military defenders, who, in all respects, deserve
the est.sem and admiration cf their countrymen.
