At a recent meeting of the New York Historical So.
ciety, Frederick kapp, Esq, gave au interesting sketch
OF the history of the custom of employing mercenary
troops, which he traced from an early day, and gave an
account of the engaging of foreign troops by England,
during the war Of the Revolution.
At the commencement Of the revolution En- Gland
stood in great need Of troops, and contemplated the
hiring of 1000 men from Russia. But it was decided
before long to abandon this plan, and supply again to
their old men purveyors, the small princes of Germany,
and soon the necessary treaties were made With the
Duke Of Brunswick, Landgrave Of Hesse Cassel, and
the Court of Hanau. tv{ ss .psNrs.-7
The Duke of Brunswick, whose dominions comprised
at that time 1900 square miles, With 100, 1000 inhabi-
tants, undertook to furnish 43 900 men, Of whom S66
were cavalry and the rest infantry. For these the Duke
received, under the name of levy money! 80 crowns,
(S35,5O) for each man, the same sum for every one
killed, or for three wounded, who we're to be accounted
equal to one killed and besides this, for the expenses
of equipment, two months extrs pay. The subsidies
received by the Duke, az long asthe troops received the
pay Of England, amounted to ii 800 crowns . year.
and double that sum for the time their pay ceased nm,
til two years after their return into brunswick. g.,
10 The Landgrave of Jesse, the infamous Frederick H.,
although be possessed but $500 square miles, with about
2SO, 900 INHABITANTS, had an army of nearly 2 10000 ex.
perienced troops. He undertook to I furnish within four
weeks three 8 enadier battalions, six infantry regiments,
and a company Of Notwithstanding in al to IL, lO4
men. The Landgrave received not only the levy money
Of thirty crowns a head, but there was paid him also q
subsidy Of $4,000 crowns per year, in addition to the
regular pay Of the troops.
The Landgrave's son, also, then reigniug Count of
Hanau, sold a regiment of sos men to the English for
1000 crowns per year, besides the regular levy money.
Even the Prince Of Little Waldeck, whose vast domin-
ions consisted of some sterile hills of 400 square miles,
with about 10000 inhabitants, left, attracted by the
prospects Of larger profits, the regular trade With the
Dutch, aud instead Of sending his soldiers, as usual, to
the Cape of Good Hope or Batavia, sold an infantry
regiment of 607 men to England on the same good
terms to the Count Of Haaau.
In the beginning Of Iii, The Margrave Of Anspetch
Brandenburg and the Prince Of Anhalt Zerbst joined
these princeiy dealers in human flesh and contributed,
the former 1855, and the latter tlG0 men. The Mar.
grave received, besides the levy money, an annual sub
sidy Of ~ 900 crowns; the Prince 4 similar sum. Most
OF the soldiers were forcibly enlisted, aud Of course de.
sertions were frequent. Of the Anhalt regiment, l40

shinxiing q House,

James H was a young man who commenced life
with very Aattering prospects, and q wife and lovely
children soon blessed him. Unhappily by slow degrees
he became-to make q long matter short-a drunkard.
One evening he left bis wife in tears, as was too COM
mon, and repaired to the house Of a man who sold him
the deadly poison, and drank 50 much that he sank
down in a kind Of stupefaction easily mistaken for sleep.
All bis companions had deserted him. Near midnight
the landlords wife came into the bar-room, and said
I wish that man could 60 home, if he's got one to
go to- ~
Hush = said the landlord, she will call for some
thing else directly
s l wish he would be quick about it, then, for it is
time that every honest man was in bed,' said his wife.
He's taking the shingles off his house and putting
them on ours said the landlord.
At this James began to come to his senses, and COM
menced rubbing his eyes and stretching himself, as
though be had just awoke, saying
Il believe I'll co.
Don't be in a hurry, James, replied the landlord.
%, yes, l must co. said James, so good night to
YOU and of he started.
After an absence of some time, the landlord one day
met and accosted him -
'Halloo, Jim, why havn't you been up to see us?'
why said james, Il had taken shingles enough
of my house, and it began to j leak, 50 l thought it was
time to stop the leak, and l have done it.
The landlord, astonished, went home to tell his wife
about it, and James has ever since let rum alone, and
attended to his own business. He is now a happy man,
and his wife and children are happier than ever.

The following important information to our citizens
will set at rest, we know, every feeling Of doubt aud
distrust as to the course Mr.. John Niuinger intends to
pursue with the forfeited lots, SO much talked about
lately. We have refrsined from all opinions on the
subject, and left it to his personal friends to attend to.
very vel. knowing that the most ample satisfaction would
would BE- given to all interested in the matter. Instead
of taking upon themselves the authority to deny the
slauderous imputatious cast against the honorable gen
tleman while absent at the East, his friends have sought
and obtained direct from him his intentions in relation
to the forfeited lots, as the best and most direct mode Of
overwhelming his d~etractors, and removing any inju-
rious influence they may have exercised. This is pef-
done in the following communications - 2
