Yeller Jay a Meetleg was held agreeably to adver-
tifement. at the Manfion-Houte, of the Merchants,
&c. of the City of London, the Loco MAYOR its the
Chair, to confider of the heft means of conttibuting
to the prompt and expeditious Conveyance of Troops
fbr the Defence of the Country, in cafe of Invalion.
Sir 111001 C WATSON, the CnmmiAiry General,.
Rated that it being his duty to provide means in the
prefeot emergency, for tranfporting -troops to fuch
parts of the Country, where their felvices might be
more immediately requited, he had thought it in-
' combent on him to do fo, in a certain and determi-
nate manner, rather than leave fir effential a point to
the moment of neceffity, when nothing but confufion
could be ex peifted to enfue. The voluntary Wt
and voluntary force in arms, was great, but without
the means of tranfporting them to the fcene of aaion,
in the moment of necellity, they couldire of compa-
ratively little ufe. The febfcriptions of the trade
had been great, one had fubfcrthed 400 horfes and a
prrportionate number of; cart jages, and other indivi-
duals had fubfcribed tso, is°, and fo on, in propor-
tion to their 'Rock. 'Government, however, did not
I with for a part, but for the whole ; and in order that
they might be fatisfied with a part, as occafion lhould
require, it was necettery that they thiuld know where
the whole ;night be procured, by which means they
lifould be laved the neceffity, in curdle of the power
'allowed them by the Mil; tia Aft, of feizing promif-
aloofly, and on the fpur of the moment, of what they
might not require, betides what might be peccary for
'the public emergency. Notwithflanding all that bad,
been done by the Gentlemen of the Trade, Govern-,
ment wifhed to have a fill Wronger force of this kind
cia which to rely. They walled the certain an&
prompt means of conveyance to be fnmewhat corn-1
menfurate with their regular and voluntary force.
With this view different meetings had been called.
A Meeting of the Gentle Men of the Trade had been
held on Toefday, at which vet y lineral fubfcriptions
bad been entered into. A fimilar meeting was to be
held to-morrow of the Nobility and Gentry at the
weft end of the town ; and, at his requell, the Lord.
Mayor had been pleafed to call the prefent meeting.
H. was confident Mere was not a Gentleman in that
room who did not moil forcibly feel the necetlity of
leading their aid in fupport of a somfore fo impot-
mot to the fafety of the country. It would, there-
fore, be onnecefiary for him to dwell longer on a
fubjea, the neceffity of which mutt occur to all. He
concluded by Rating his plan, which was exaftly fimi-
lar to that already defctibed at the meeting of the
Coachmatters, namely, the fupply of 48 hours forage,
by the perfors who (omitted the bodes, &c. oa ac
count of the little inconvenience this could occafion
to individuals, and the great inconvenience refulting
from it to the (creams of Government, and indemd-
ty for any bodes which might be injured.
Mr. Alderman Pa lc t, in a fpeech in which he paid
many compliments to the Commiffary General, who
he was happy to think was a brother Alderman, and
on that account entitled to the peculiar regard of that
Meeting, propofed three Refolutrons, exaaly in terms
of his plan.
Mr. Alderman Clark feeonded the different Rota
lotions, which were unanimoufly agreed to.
An Addrefs from the Carmen of the City of Lon-
don was then read, is which they offer to lariat
three hundred waggons to convey ten men each, at a
rate to be agreed on.—A fpecimen of the machine
exhibited at the Horfe Guards was then examined;
was mounted by a Serjeant and la men of the Welt
Loudon Regiment of Volunteers, who proceeded in it
to. tome dittance with loch cafe and celerity as fuf
ficiently to demonftrate the utility of the invention.

The Duke of You has granted permiffinn to one-
font th of the Regular Infantry and Militia Rationed
in the SonthersDidria to act the farmers in getting
in the approaching harvefl.
Fi iday, the Glafgnw Volunteer Light Horfe, com-
manded by Captain Dimwitroue, were infpeBed in
the Green of Glafgow by Colonel BULKS.
Monday, the idl divi(ion of the Argylefhire Mi-
litia marched from Edinburgh for Dunbar.

The Argyltfhire regiment of militia, at prefent in
Edinburgh cattle, are ordered to Dunbar, atc. in
room of the Royal ltifh.

Dublin and Waterford mails arrived on Wednt fd ty
morning. " On Thurfday lall, (fay the Dublin
papers) Major Siaa and Jullice BILL apprehended
Mr. 11 of Thomas-court, brewer, charged
with rebellious prallices." The Waterford mail en-
ables us to contradict a rumour in circulation of the
death of- Lord GALDNER.

Fit I.—Laft night, about half pail eight a
fire of a very alarming nature broke out at Metres.
WmtVINO and Co' s, Grocers, at the coiner of Duck's-
Foot-lane, Tham:s.ftreet. The flames were firft
difeovercd to bortt out of the warehnufe window be-
hind the houfe, in Duck's-Foot-lane, and immedi-
ately to extend acrofs the ftreet, communicating to
the piemifes of Mefrrs. Hardeaftle and Cn. which
were threatened with deartsetien. The timely ar-
rival of an engine, however, prefervcd them by its
beginning to play ianantly, before the Haloes had
00 ' got to a great height. By this time, however, the
so, tire at Mars. Whiting and Co.'s premifes had gain-
-31 ed confiderably a-head,nntwithilanding the exertions
153 of the firemen, and the flames had made their way
through the roof of the wareboufe. Several engines,
which had now arrived, were judicioufly arranged,
-s not only to fubdue the exifting conflagration, but to
preferve the adjoining premifes, which confined p-
a, nerally of warehoufes docked with valuable rnercan-
a tile commodities. At the empofite corner of the
ar
tlreet arc the warehonfcs of Meer. Roxby and Co.
i 5 which were full of hops; they were with great
entry lived, as v. ell as others, which, had they taken
59' I fire, mutt have involved the whole neighbourhood in
is -
the conflagration. By judicious arrangement, and
great ere.' tinn, the 6-c, fortunately, was chiefly con-
ta I tined to the fpot where it commenced; and, in about
‘B“6 an hour, its fury appeared greatly checked. After
that time the flames progreflively decreafed, till the
IN/ - '
engmes entirely flibdited them. The lois is not ex-
paled to- be very confiderable. The Bridge Ward
44 and Dowgaie Voluireera, as well as fume other corps,
31 a•tended to keep off the rabble, su, prefervc tie r
36 neighb,uts' property from plunder, which they did
1.4 ee.satially, by natio sing a party at every avenue
" leading to the fire. 'Me plan all', prevented the sic-
iv) men trim bring interrupted in their duty.
