ARMY BILL.

Having seen to-day in the National lntegencer of the
2lst inst communication headed The Military Bill,
signed by Brown and written by officer of the army,
mot y feel disposed to indulge in few remarks
upon it,
The report of the Secretary of War fully and completely
argues n plain sense all the points raised for OBJ

questions design, in noticing Browns
communication to refer almost entirely TO those particular
points OF the report of the Secretary.
la The Rrigadisrst is certainly an honest and plain
recommendation appoint five brgader generals to
mand the five military departments instead Of the colonies
acting brigadics and receiving the pay by virtue of
their breyets at present The quartormaser general s
already brgader and therefore that recommendation
makes change eSce, that he may he liable to be
