gave notice of a motion on Monday, for anew Vote
of Credit to the amount of two millions and a half.
The Bill for calling forth sind difciplining the
people of this country, palled the Rotifer of Com-
mons ern. tea. There was not much novelty in the
debate, only fame infilled that more fhould be done
towards increafing the regular force. Perhaps this
ought to be fo, but in the mean time, we cahoot but
congratulate our fellow-citizens on a meafure of fo
much importance as the general arming of the coun-

ed towards completion. As to increafing our re-
gular force, we fee but little diffictilty in ,doing it 'to
aloof( any extent, and fpeedily too, if proper ince-
isms be only Teemed to.
' Now that the 'Public mind is awakened to the
danger with which out-Common count ryis threatened,

art gemresis, brave, or loyal, let the ROYAL
