PROM THE ST. JOHN'S CITY GAZETTE.
TO LIEUTENANT-COLONEL MEIN, AND THE OFFICERS,
NON-COSIMISSIONED OFFICERS, AND PRIVATES OF HIS

•
MAJESTY'S 74TH REGIMENT
ADDRESS OF THE MAYOR, ALDERMEN, AND COM-
MONALTY OF THE CITY OF ST. JOHN.

His Majesty's 74th Regiment, which has been stationed in this
Province for a period of five years, being about to take their de-
parture for Halifax, the Mayor, Aldermen, and Commonalty of the
City of St. John beg leave to express to Lieutenant-Colonel Maud,
at the Officers, Non-commissioned Officers, and Privates, the high
sense entertained-by them and the community at large of the exem-
plary good behaviour which has marked the conduct of that gallant
Regiment during its residence in the Province. The urbanity and
gentleman-like conduct of the Officers, and orderly and soldier-like
behaviour of the Non-commissioned Officers and Men justly merit
this tribute of respect. And when the cause of their country shall
again call them to face the enemy, fresh laurels will, no doubt,
adorn these Standards already rendered remarkable by the nutno•
roue emblems of victory, by the command of their Sovereign there
engraved.
Witness the Common Seal of the said City, the twenty-eighth
day of July, 1823.
