DURHAM, AUGUST IT:

mfemience of notices generally circulated, that
refpeEtable Gentlemen who were not prefent
meeting on Thurfday laff, for the relief and
of the defenders of the country who may fuf
by their exertions, merit, in the public fer-
td who wished to contribute to the relief of
intrynteri, were defirous of coming forward

oropoted to confine the fubfcription to the fa.

the enemy. According to this propeition, the
in entered into by the meeting on Thursday
to be fet aftde, alibiing!: it had been adver-
the public papas, and the fubfcribers had
themfelves to pay their refpellive turns ford
cral purpofes of dm fund at Lloyd's. This.

pt ;icy coaFining fubfcriptiona to provincial put- 1
pot.zs m:rely•,,raconsmended that the future fubfcrib-
ets
t . the fund Mould fignify whether their ftabfclip- '
lion, were for the general purpofes of the fund at
bloy,t',, or confined to the county, which &mid con-
011C and the fame plan :—thus, the ferns tranf-
tnitted to thecommittee at Llayd's will be a proof that
the county of Durham makes it a common carafe, and
it will therefore (hare in the general affiilasoce from
that fund : and thus altar it will have a claim in com-
mon with the other maritime counties on thofe in the
interior of the kingdom, whore situations do ant ex-
port them to fimilar danger. The film to be placed
tinder the managers in the county will be applied
with greater readinefs to the callsregoiring immediate
attention, and to the local circumitanccs of the county.
His Lorelfhip then brought forward a refolution
to that effetl, which was teceived with the greeted ap-
probation, and unanimoufly agreed to.
The Itrong expretlions ufed by his Lordfltip to im-
prefs the meeting with his fineere attachment to the
county were received with manifea fatisfaEtion, and
it was evidently the general fentiment, that that at-
tachment and his ardent concern for the comment
carafe, induced his objeition to a meafute which
merited the tulle! difcunion from the refpeilable
lituation of the.gentleman who propufed it.

On the loth inft. a meeting of the Inhabitants
Leeds was held in the yard of the White Cloth H
to confider of the bell mode for railing a corps of V
lunteers, agreeable to the AR of Parliament late; v
paired for the Defence of the Nation. The company
were addrelled by Mr. Hey the Chairman, and Mr.
Buck. The books were immediately opened for en-
rolling the names of Volunteers and for a fubfcrip
Lion to defray the incidental.expences. Upwards of
fix hundred names were entered in the condi of the
afternoon, and•this number might have been doubled
had the necelrary plans been pravioully arranged, and
a proper direaton given to the enthufiaftic fpirit that
animated the audience ; but this fervour was Inc.
seeded by a lamentable apathy, partly from a want
of plan for the information of the lower, arid partly
from a want of fpitit for the animation of the higher
claEes.

On the fame day, a general meeting of the inhabi-
tants cf Southampton was held at the Audit-hottfe,
in order to.open a fubfcription for the benefit of vo-
lunteering in the Army of Defence, Asa:. Scarf,
Eh. Mayor, in the chair, who, in the name of the
Corporation fubferibed too guineas, and to for him:
Pelf; Jima. Jacasoa, Efq. of Belle Vue. go gui.
fleas, and other Gentlemen Cubferibed various fums,
amounting altogether to 8:81. sos. It was then re-
folved, that Mr. jaccsos amid command a corps,
and that fuch as were willing to join him, Ittould
affemble in the Marlb next evening, at fix o'clock :
confequently at five the drums beat for moiler, Mr.
JACKSON attending, and near goo volunteers of the
t a and ad Oafs enrolled themfelves. Amongll the
molt forward was Mr. Joan Btu., of the George, who
appeared completely accoutred in the uniform of Licu.
tenant; Wroclaw TAYLOR, late of the Portfwood
Volunteers ; Mr. EDWARD LUCAS, hair dreffer, for-
merly a corporal in the Southampton Volunteers,
whom the Mayor publicly thanked for his great
zeal, and generous offer to inaruft his fellow-townf-
men in the manual ezercife, two hours each day.

In the account given in our paper of the Bth inn.
of the Volunteer -Ellablifinent of the Scot: Metro-
tort:, which was (laced to be on fo refpeßable a foot-
ing, it Mould have been mentioned, in jnnice to the
Highlander: of that city, that they formed themfelves
in tysiy, into a Volunteer Regiment of goo nrong,
which ferved with much and deferred approbation,
until the Volunteers of the kingdom were difbanded
after the peace. On the firft appearance of occa-
non for re-ellablithment of Volunteers, this corps
again flood forward with an offer of their fervices,
and, without trickling as to terms, on Poch an serner-
genay, at once refolved to embody themfelves on the
terms originally propofed by Government, which
were not nearly fo favourable as thole it was after-
wards thought expedient to bold but to Corps of this
derciiption. Though at this time the Supplemen-
tary Militia had not been called out, nor was fuch a '
nseafure as the Army of Referve known to be in ,1
contemplation, and individuals were not of cnnrfe
induced to enroll for the fake of exemption from
dick fervices, the ranks of the Highlanders were
filled up in a few dayx, and they paraded early in
May ; the members then enrolled being about yob, li
fo that many fopernumeraries were chfcharged, to
reduce the corps to goo, she number accepted by'
Government. The example of the Highlanders was
fame time afterwards followed by other Volunteer
Corps in Edinburgh, and different parts of the coun-
try, who cams forward upon the terms finally'
adopted by Government, and have, free they were
embodied, been very afriduous in acquiring a know-
ledge of military dikipline. • The other pay Corps
of Edinburgh, as we formerly mentioned, are in-
rolled to ferve ha any flan of Great Britain. The
Highlanders, as they did in lan war, have extended
their Cervices to Great Britain and Ireland. The
RATA Mid Lothian Artillery, a very ufeful Corps,
which was alto firmed dutiog laf war, were equally
forward with the Highland Regiment in their offer
of Ic.. ice arid completion. This corps is not, as we
firmerly mentioned, by roillale, •attached to any
particular infantry regiment ; but are, as we wider.
nand. to ferve in detachments as OeCilfioll may re-
quire. which they did moll generally LIB war with
the Highland Regiment. In addition to the ()creel
formerly mentioned to have been made in Edinburgh,
we have to notice that of the Students and Geode-
men connected with its Univerfity, that eminent
feat of learning, who have offered a corps of 500, to
ferve without any expence to Government, in the
fame manner as the Firll Edinburgh Regiment, whole
liberal and refpeitable eflablifhment is already known.
The College Corps, if accepted of, of which there
is little doubt, arc to a 3 as light troops, for which,
the members being young and-a/live, they are pecu-
liarly well qualified. An offer has likenife been
made by an Mitigation of refpeoffable Gentlemen, to
form a Rife Company of coo Nang, to be attached
to the Highland Regiment, but to be at no expose.
whatever to Government. Should Boas raiTs then
attempt to carry his frantic threats of irivafion into
cleft in the North. where in much zeal, loyalty, and
unanimity happiiy pervade all rank.. we have no
.I:.ubt, that rumps wiii meet will a fimilar reeep-
