GENERAL OEDER OF 11ILITIA, MAY 27.

As it appears to me necessary, fur Many reasons, to regu-
late the Militia Establishment in conformity to the Laws in
force in this Praeince,—lt is ordered that there shall be only
one Regiment in each County, of which the Establishment
shall he, 1 Lientenant-Colonel, 2 Alajors, 10 Captains, 20
First and 20 Second Lieutenants, with the usual Staff, each
Company compwied of t Captain, 2 First and 2 Second Lieu-
tenants, I Clerk: 4 Serjeants, 2 Drummers, and 100 men.—
All Officers who may be reduced on breaking np the Regi-
ments, shall retain their commissions and rank. In consi-
deration of the population of the Town of Halifax, and the
extent of that Country, there shall be two Regiments in.
Town, one in Colchester, and one in Pietou. In order to
provide for the care of the Harbours and Batteries, there
shall be formed a Militia Company of Artillery.

We have a right to congratulate ourselves on
the direct, open, and consistent course of coo-
duct which we have adopted, respecting the great
Question which now agitates the Nation, and has
.
drawn the attention of all Europe upon the Pro-
ceedings of the British Government. We said,
frotu the first demand of the QUEEN to the House
of Commove, that -nothing but a compliance with
that demand would promote the ends ofJustice,and
satisfy mankind. Ministers, from a commendable
but false humanity, alter having laid their charges
opon the Table of Parliament, were induced to
listen to the proposal of an amicable nagociation,
in,
other words to hush up the matter, by which
they would have brought disgrace upon them•
selves and all Parties. The consequence of their,
liberal but weak compliance With that proposal
was the censure and ridicule of those very men
who objected to the opening of the -Green Bag,
the contents of which were said to be high-
ly injurious to public morals. Well, after
all the conflicts of Party', and all the anxious
proceedings of oar Legislators, the issue comes
to the point we originally suggested as inevitable,
viz.—a full examination of the Charges, and an
OPEN TRIAL. All the delays that were interposed
came from the Agents of THE QUEEN, and from
Parliament in adopting Mr. WieneaFoaca's hope-
less Motion. It is said that the contents of the
Green Bags, are gradually stealing into general
notice. Admitted—but not from the Green Bugs
themselves, but are the reports and rumours which
have long been current on the Continent respecting
the cotr!uct of the QUEEN, whether well or ill-
founded. These reports and rumours are certainly
of the most offensive and disgusting kind, and now
they are reduced into regular charges, and pre-
sented by the Government of the Country to the
judgment of Parliament, must undergo a full in-
vestigation. The honour of the QUEEN and of the
Throne demands it. The QueeN must enjoy her
honours if she comes clear out of the ordeal; and if
she is guilty to the extent imputed, the KING must
have justice done to him and be released from a person
who may be pronounced unwot thy of being a part-
'nvr of the Throne. This is the lapguage of common
sense, sound morality, and national justice. All
contrary opinions are founded in weakness, ar-
tifice, and sophis;ry. But it is said that recrimina-
tion is likely to take place. The idea is absurd.
The QUEEN is to be tried on the ground of
the conduct imputed to her abroad, and has
nothing to do with that of others at home.—For
instance, it is reported that she has preserved a
Letter from his MAJESTY, written at a former
period, and couched, in terms not suitable to the
Royal character. It is whispered that this Letter
will be opened as a son of toleration for the con-
duct of her MAJESTY abroad, if she should be
proved to be guilty of the imputed charges, Ad.

mitring for a rtiontent drat such a letter m)y
exist,. are the effusions of temporary vexation,
such as too often occur in matrimonial life, to be
dragged before the tribunal of the Nation, and
made the ground of Legislative Defence )—The
very presertration of such a letter, if it be of such
a character as described, does not operate its favour
of the Party who retained such a Document, to be
made use of on a future occasion. Even if ex-
posed, it would only she* the influence of mo-
mentary irritation on one side, but a deep
provident polity on the other. The Green
Bags must be opened, but it depends on• the
wisdom, df the Legislature to disclose the ge-
-1 neral substance of them, and not such particu-
lars as can only excite disgust without forward-
ing the ends of Justice. Before we conclude, we
will just observe, that we yesterday announced
the intention of Her MAJESTY to visit Drury-
Lane Theatre this evening. We made no com-
ment, because we did not wish to injure the
Theatre, but we must now say, that. with such
charges hanging over her head, she seems too
hastily to . have concluded that the clamour
of Party and the acclamations of &feet ,Rab-
hies conveyed the general opinion of the Country
at large. A tr.,dest retirement till her character
is cleared, would he more suitable to her situa-
tion, her rank, Aimd her sex. When her innocence
shall be fully manifested, let Ler openly appear,
and as ,an atonement for injuviee, oppression,
and pf-recutorr, reap' the full- reward of univer-
sal popularity.

QUEEN —As our Paper was putting to
Press, we bad the pleasure to learn, t hat she has
on this occasion listened to the advice of her
legal friend), and has relinquished her intention
to visit the Theatte this evening. Every proper
arrangement had previously been tnatle to preserve
the public peace, which happily a revrd to de-
corum and discretion has rendered unnecessary.
