THE ARMY.

The Lanark(hire Militia. about t too hong, with
about 230 women and children, failed from ftamr-
gate for Scotland yeflerday. They are a hoe body
of men, and have left behind them an excellent cha-
radter for difcipline and good conduet. They were
all in high fpirits, and received three hearty cheers
from their countrymen, the Perthfhire Militia* ea
tome hundreds of fpeetators, who witnefred their de-
parture.

It is Paid, that by the abolition of the General
Hofpitals, a larger fum will yearly be fared to Go-
vernment than the amount of the late iacreafe of pay
to the Officers of the Army. We fincerely with that
this increafe had been larger, to a moil ufeful* as
well as honourable clefs of the community.
The Marquis CORNWALLIS is daily expelled IN re-
turn to Aberdeen to his regiment, where they have
been quartered for a confiderable time, and where
they are much efteemed by the inhabitants. •

By Tome omit ion, or fatal error, for the prefcnt, in
the Bill for the increafe of Pay to the Army, and of
Penfions to Widows, the widow of the full Colo-
nel has not been thought of, a rank not to be gained
by porchafe, but by a confiderable length of fervice,
and the penfion being confiderably under tool. ; this
falls extremely bard, in particular, on thofe highly
diftinguinied and mob truly ferviceable corps, the
Royal Artillery and Royal Marines ; as their full
Colonels, when enjoying the rank of Generals, are,
from the nature of their refpedtive liner, debarred
from elling the Staff-employments, whereby they
might be enab:ed to accumulate fornething for their
families, with the fame juftice and propriety as the
full Colonels of the Guards and of the line ; and the
widows of Colonels are but few in number, from the

rank being much contraaed.

snore formidable to the enemy.
