dismissed, totally abolished, and thus is that ap.

For the Cloathing.—The advantages arising to
the Colonel in the cloathing department t6o have
Already noticed. To thew how the supplies of
those necessary articles have met the expellee, we
need but observe that, on 411 inspectiou by Gene.
ral !Ante, a few years back, there was scarcely
found one regimental waistcoat through the whole
tine.—Such a discovery was not very creditable
to the City of London.
In support of the freedom of London, it can
be proved, that several of the Officers have had
no manner of claim M hatever; nut being the sons
of freemen, but completely alien:, clerks In So.

With respect to the duties, and bow they are to
be performed when the Regiments are from Lun.

chiefly engaged in London in various occupations,
such as potrolev, watchmen, and other civil em.
ployments. True it is they hare been known to
exhibit on a Lord Mayor's day with the man in
armour, as a parade; but of their real military
services, the citizens of London I,ase nut yet seen

These facts, which can be proved, beinglikt.
publicly laid before the Committee, they are lic;

full, fair, and impartial examination ; and free
