The South Gloueefter regiment were drawn up
this morning on Marlborough Steyne, for the purpofe
of giving the men an opportunity of volunteering for
regular fervice. The number required, was about
250 ; but as the men generally withed to exchange
their lituations for the purpole of ferving in the ma•
rifles or artillery, and in which they could not be.
accommodated, only an individual. for this purpofe
of government could be obtained.

To heav'nly feats the onward way ;
And waft me to that peaceful (bore,
Where (miles an ever-verdant day! a. S.
