preflre of Bulinct4, there his not been yet time
thoussgltly to examine and confider and being at
the fame time folicitous to prevent any anxiety or
diffatisfattion which might arife among the perfons
whore zeal and loyalty have induced them to come
forward upon the prefect OCCA (inn ; !have the honour
to Nequaint your Lord(hip, that Hi.; Majefty is gra.
ciouGy difpofed to accept all the offers which have
been recommended by your Lordthip, provided the
total number of rank and file to he railed under them,
together with that of the Corps and Companies here-
tofore accepted and eftabliflied, does not in the
whole exceed the proportion of the county, as limited
by Lord lionatv's Letter of the tilth infant, and
that each offers do not militate againft the regula-
firms of the Defence Ads, and the general rules
which it has been or may be found expedient to adopt.

" As loon as I (hall be en" led to examine with
more particularity the offers which have been tranf-
mitted by your Lord(hip, I (hall have the honour of
communicating His M.tjelly's (pedal dir-Elions on the
fubjse. In the mean time, I cannot omit this op-
portunity of informing your Lordlhip that it is clearly
to be underlined that, under the genuine confirudion
and meaning of the late Ails of PArlisment, all Vo-
lunteer Corps and Companies to be accepted Cubic-
quent to their paffing, (hould be formed with refe-
rence to the general Militia Syflem. It follows that
noCoraparty ought to corfill of lets than Sixty Pri-
vatesrand that no Body of Infantry can be confidered
as a Corps which coat a. ales than three fetch Com-
panies ; and that all fmaller affernblages of Volun-
teers, under the above mentioned Ads, within any
County, rtrifb. or Diflriti, (hall be thrown into le-
tirpordext Cemporier of not lefs than Sixty nor more than
oar banked end twenty rnrates. The Ellablifisment of
Field and Company Officers, as well as of Serjeants,
Corporals and Drummers, is to be Lied by the time
Role.

" In the Yeomanry Cavalry. however, a differetit
arrangement will enntione to prevail I tingle Troops
may ba accepted as Corps; not being lefs than Forty.
Rank and Pile, though it is much to be wished that
in aU cafes they Stolid be carried, if poflible, to fixty
twcighty effeSives pc Troop t and that two or more
'hoops, wherever local eirennsfianees 'will permit,
lbould be joined together for the purpofes of difci
pline, and interior arrangements.
" I take leave to make it my earneff requell to
your Lordfhip that yow will favour me, at your ear.
lien convenienee,-with an eras return of the different
Corps heretofore accepted, or which ire now tranf-
mitted for coofideration, or which you may hereafter
think proper to recommend for acceptance, fpecifying
the parfreulart of theft eflablifhment according to a
form which inn will receive herewith. I tanned fuf
fieiently impacts upon you the neeeffity of furnifbing
me whit thii atiiiiisest. with the leafi poffible delay,
as great embarrarment is found to arifelkom a want
of fufficient peecifion upon theft points.
Should it have happened that the number of
perfons who have offered themf..lves, op to this pe.
rind, to ferve in Volunteer Carps or Companies, has
exceeded the proportion Unshed, in tie firft ;seance,
by Lord Hosacr's Circular Latter of the illte init.
for the County of , and Should your Lord.
Chip be of opinion that it would contribute to the fa.
tisfattion of thofe who might by fuch limitation be
prevented from manifelling their seal for the public
fervice, I have the honour to inform your Lortithip.
that there will be no obje&on to a certain number of
fuch perfons, properly Melted, being attached to the
accepted and efiablithed Corps. as Sup-rnumeraries,
in firth a proportion per Troop or Company as than
be hereafter fixed upon.
" It is, however, important, that it lhould be clearly
onderifood. that no expence is to be incurred by the
Public no account of the arms, pay. or clothing of
fiseh Sup.- innerraries ; and that they will not be con.
fidered as entitled to any exemptions from the Militia
or other Ballots.

.' I think it proper to take this opportunity of
communicating His Majety's cOmmands to your
Lewd(hip, that meafures flionld he taken without de-
lay in communication with the General officer corn-
mending in the Markt, for fixing npnn fuch general
place or places of affembly, for the different Volun-
teer Corps and ellablithed companies of men within
tl.e County of . as may be deemed moll ex-
pedient in car: of invation, or the appearanie of the
enemy in force up,* the coati ;---and I am further
commanded by His Majefly to defi►e your Lordfhip,
in communication with the General of the Dißrift,
to difiribute fuch provifional orders to fuch Volunteer
Corps and etiablithed companies of men as aforefaid,
with refpret td their affembling together and moving
upon the general place• of affembly, fo to be fixed
upon in the events above alluded to, as the nature of
the cafe may appear to require.

" Your Ifordfhip Kill likewife he pleafed, in cont.
munication alfo with the Gene'ral Officer corn-,
manding, to make fuch arrangenients, if not already
done, relpelling Beacons, and nther indications of
alarm as may be thought welter, within the County
