Ile ?dace Of-Stasis took leave of his op friend
lir. &melt this•day. The Petrie' was efeorted by
Capt. S A • its's fine troopof yeomanry until his Royal
Highnets reached the great North Road, when be io•
treated they would not give themfelvesfarther trouble,
eaprrfling hi. thanks for this mark of attention, and
the pleafure he had in obferving the excellent flats
of the corps.
His Royal Highnefs in field martini', uniform, at
tended by Major Ilsoosmiso, reviewed the Suu.
sham regiment of Yorkthire Welt Riding Volunteer
Cavalry. commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Fox-
yaws', atTembled at this place ; this fine corps went
through their various evolutions with a degree of se.
curses that .did ,credit to their seal, and brought
Milk the jirsifes of his Royal Highnefs, who, with

TO THE £1.1170R OF THE► STAR.

Sm—Yrier readinefs in infert in your Paper what-
titer tends to. promote the interells and Inn rights of
the defenders of your country, prompts me to flea
scorner fur the following, by which you *ill much
oblige a connant Reader and obedient Servant,
•a OLD SOLDIII.
TO THE RIGHT HON 'ME EARL OF MOTRA, MO.
,'TER GENERAL OF THE BOARD OF ORDNANCE.

Mr Loan—l have lately fees in the public papers
isetice of the diaribution of Pnze money for the late
capture of the Cape of Good Hope, and it gives
Me a fineere pleafure to find the prefent Government
Ps ready to appreciate and reward a ferrite, the re-
f,* of which will, I titta, prove a lolling benefit
to llititain.
Without derailing from the merits of the anion
jell now mentioned, I cannot help controlling it with
what land many others experienced in the difcharae
of our duty an a (civics cottony hazardous, and of
zeltreh longer duration, namely, the taking of Chat lel-
tOwn, in South Carolina, North Ameties, which
furrendered to his MajetlY's arms, under the Com-
mand of General Sir HtNRT CLINTON. on the tzth
s(up 1780* after a liege of about fix weeks.---That
there was prize-money for this ferrite is beyond a
doubt, but that it has never been paid is silo a truth ;
at lest none has ever buts received by that part of
the army to which I had the honour to belong, the
Royal Artillery.
Where the blame He e, is sot my province to fay,
sad I do not with to calumniate any individual, or
bring accufations again* the innocent.
Convincer:l_olk it is neither the willsof his Majefly,
nor the Sritifii Natiaii that tlie bard earned pittance
of the war-worn Soldier fbould be withheld from
binisl harm'* prefustsed to addrefs your Lorcifhip.
You, my Lord, witneffed and partook of the toils
of that army, whole Cervices have fq long been ne-
jeaerd. You have ever Room, yourfclf the Soldier's
riomf, and art now in that fituation•which enables
zoo to ermcife 'hors feelings congenial to your heart,
and honourable to humanity ; and, although this
fervice has yet beta unrewarded, I now flatter my.
Oaf that flit peeper enquiry will be made, convinced
that yen canoe treat with filent regket, the foli-
citation of, My Lord,
Your loordfifip's mat obedient humble Servant,
all OW SOLDIIL.
