Malrii paper, of Apri! Is, says :-ssPeo-
pie arc entertaining themselves very much with
the levy of quitas: this military CONSUMPTION is
the sllrest method to fill up tao skeletons of our
rc5i;n ,nts, and to have, i'll short lime, a res
pcctablc army, which is SO necessary to u.s.
not only in this king,!o:n but in order to reco-
Yer our transnarinc possessions. For some

thoriscj such of these ouccrs as have net Com
rnittei any personal offence, to present memo
rials for the purpose of obtaining such pensions
or fayours, as may be due to them for their ser.
vices before the revolutions.
The regulation of the royaiist militia has been
partly doae away, by the suppression of the
three obnoxious articles, by which no one could
retain his arms in his house; none could be mi
Iftia'nen without possessing TO certain amount
