the general the same night, and he was in
town the next morning.
An express was dispatched to the govern
or by tie associated officers, acting in CON
cert with the major general aud brigadiers
general of this district.
Mean time, at meeting of the officers.
to which the general was invited, the ten
ders OF service and the views of the gov
eminent were reciprocally given the ac-
tual state OF the means OF the public de-
fence inspected; and more. to guard "a
gainst things which may not be foreseen,
and to place the public mind in a state of
perfect security, regulations are adopted,
by which the volunteer corps may, in such
numbers as the case may require, be called
into the public service-in suitable detach-
nents, and for such periods of time as may
unite the objects of the least inconvenience
with the greatest diffusion of practical BILE
discipline.
The number of volunteers who have ten
dered their services in this district alone,
independent OF the legion and the regiments
OF artillery and cavalry, amount to about
1000 and the greatest difficulty which the
general OF the district appears likely tomeet,
is that OF gratifying the generous temper of
iHanv, because the whole do not seem like
ly to be called for, and those who are not
called forth may consider themselves as
sighted, One company of volunteer artil
lery which FIRST opened its enrolment on
Thursday evening, mustered 90 men on

Miftin detachment from the legion is
also to enter upon duty at the same time.
! 1t is contemplated, by short tours of duty,
and by as strict police and discipline as
| in state OF siege, to use the occasion to
diiiuse correct knowledge and the practice
or duty; and to prevent the important &C
casion from being lost, by prohibiting a
promiscuous Intercourse of citizens who
arc not on duty; and excluding every spe-
cies OF irregularty. The citizens at large
will therefore, while assured of protection
and grateful for the generous ardor of
those who devote themselves to the public
service, see the propriety of RETAINING
from visiting the garrisons, where the ne
cessity of strict discipline will forbid ad
mission.
