Many French military men.have already -obtained
advantageous appointments. This measure is ge-
nerally approved of ; because it was particularly
ascribed to the want of good officers in the militia,
that, in the late war, the enemy was able to attenipt
landings, which werewery mortifying to the Ame-
rican national pride. 'Experience, has also taught,
that in the United States, in a period of common
danger, it is easy to increase the regular army,
which in peace is very small, by voluntary levies
to almost any amount, thought it is not so easy to
find in this country officers to lead. them."
