 A J O R Cenenl James Vv^olfe, fon of lien- 
 tenant-gcneral EJward Wolfe, torn at 
 Wcilciham in Kent iith January 1726. 
 I'y nature formed for military greatncfs ; liis n-ic- 
 niory retentive, his judgment ikcp, his comprehen- 
 iion amazingly quick and clear, his conflitutional 
 courage not only uniform and daring, perhaps to an 
 extreme, but he poireffed that higher -fpecies of it, 
 Ihength, fleadinefs, and activity of mind, which 
 no ulthculties could oblh-ui!! nor dangers deter. 
 AVith an unufual Uvelinefs, ahnoit to an impetuo- 
 fjty of temper, not fubje6l to pafTion; with the 
 greatefl independence of fpirit, free from pride. 
 Generous almod to profufion, he contemned every 
 little art for the acquifition of wealth, whilll 
 he fearched after objefls for his benevolence : 
 the defervinjT foldier never went unrewarded. In- 
 ferior officers experienced his friendly generofity. 
 Conflant and dUlinguifliing in his attachments, 
 manly and unreferved, yet gentle, kind, and con- 
 ciliating in his uimners, he enjoyed a large fliare of 
 the fiiendihip, and almofl the univerfal good-will 
 of mankind; and, ro crown all, fincerity.and can- 
 dour, a true fenfe of honour, juAice, and public 
 fpirit feemed the inherent principles of his nature, 
 and the uniform tenor of his condu<5t. 
 
 He

 He betook himfclf very early to the profclTion of 
 arms, and with (u:h tilcnts, joined to the mull un- 
 wearied afllvltiity, no wonder he was fin^^.Ied out as 
 a moil ridiig military genius ; even fo early as the 
 battle of i.a-feldt, when fcarce twenty, he exerted 
 himielf in fo maAvMly a manner at a very critiea! 
 juncture, thai he was promoted to be a major of 
 brieade, and not the hiLrhiil: encomiums frc^m the 
 jj^reat officer tlvm at the head of ti^e army. — Du linci: 
 the whole war he went on witliout interruption 
 forming the military ehnr.uT-cr, was prefent at every 
 tnragemenr, and never pallid undiAini'r/ilhed. Even 
 after the peace, whiUl others lolled in pleafure'a 
 downy hip, he euhivatcd the arts of w^ar, and in- 
 troduced (without one a6t of inhiim.anity) fneh re- 
 gularity and exacftnefs of difcipline into his corps, 
 that as long as the fix llritidi battalions on the 
 pliiins of IMinden are recorded in the annals of Eu- 
 rope, fo long will KingPey's Hand amongfl ihv fore- 
 moll of that day. Of tliat rer-iment he conilnued 
 lieutenant-colonel, till the great m'nider who rouicd 
 the fieeping genius of his country called him into 
 higher fpheres of aftion. He was early in the molt 
 fecret confultations for the attacdc of Rochfort ; and 
 what he would have done there, and wh';t he 
 afterwards did at Louiibourg, are recent in c/ery 
 memory. 
 
 He no fooner returned from thence than he was 
 appointed to command the important expedition 
 againft: Quebec : there his abilities fnone in their 
 brighteil: luftre; in defiance of numberlefs unfore- 
 feen difficulties from the nature of the fituation, 
 from the great fuperiority of numbers, the ftrength 
 of the place, and his bad flate of health, he per!e- 
 vered with unwearied diligence, pra(rtirmg every 
 ftratagem of war to elfe(5f his grand purpofes : at lafl', 
 alone in opinion, he formed and executed that great, 
 that dangerous, yet neceffary plan, which drew

 victory, he firll received a ball throupji his wrill, 
 wliich immediately wrapping up, he went on wiili 
 the fame alacrity, animating his troops by precept 
 and example ; but, in a few minutes after, a ItconJ 
 fatal ball through liis body obliged him to be car- 
 lied ofi'to a fmall diftance in the rear, where rouled 
 from fainting in his lafl agonies by the found of,

 Sunday Nov.i /ih, at feven h\ the morning, his Ma- 
 jefty's Hiip Royal William (in which this hero's corpfe 
 was brought from Quebec to Portfmouth) fired two 
 i'lgnal guns for the removal of his remains : at eight 
 the body was lowered into a twelve-oar*d barge, 
 trAvcd by two twelve-oar'd barges, and attended by 
 twelve twelve-oar'd barges to the Point, in a train 
 of gloomy filent pomp, fuitable to the melancholy 
 occafion, grief clofing the lips of the barges crews, 
 rniiuitc guns firing from the Ihips at Spithead to the 
 time of landing at Portfmouth Point, the ceremony 
 continuing one hour. The 4 ifl regiment of foot was 
 ordered underarms before eight, and being joined by 
 a company of the royal regiment of artillery, march- 
 ed from the parade to the bottom of the Point to 
 leceive his remains. At nine the body was land- 
 ed and put into a hearfe, attended by a mourning 
 coach, and proceeded through the garrifon. The co- 
 lours on the forts were flruck half flag-ftafF, the 
 bells muffled, rung in folemn concert with the 
 march, minute guns were fired on the platform from 
 the entrance of the corpfe to the end of the pro- 
 cefilon ; the company of royal artillery led the van,

 mo:hs, or night-butterfies, having mealy wings, which 
 may be lubb'd off with the fingers, fliould be pinned 
 when caught, and give the body a pinch to put it out 
 of pain.

 Inilru^lions for young Officf.rs. 
 By COLONEL WOLFE. 
 
 WHEN a yonng gentleman betnkcs blinfelf to 
 the protefiion oF mm?, (he fl\oiild fcrioufly 
 reflect upon the nature and duties of the wn\ of life 
 he has entered into, and confider, that it is not as the 
 generality of people vainly imnginc, learning a litde 
 of the exercife, fainting gracefully, firing his pla- 
 toon in his turn, mounting a few guards (carelcfsly 
 enough) and finally, expofing his perfon bravely 
 in the day of battle ; which u ill defervcdly, and ia 
 the opinion of judges, acquire him the char.:6tcr of 
 a good officer: no, he mud: learn chcarfiiUy to 
 obey his fuperiors, and that their orders and his 
 own be pun^lually executed. 
 
 As there mufl of neceffity be In a new battr.Iioii 
 many young and uninformed officers, I Hiall, as 
 brieily as I am capable, inform them what I think 
 'heir duty, and what confequently is expcacd from 
 them. 
 
 They are, without lofs of time, to m:!;e them- 
 fclves perfect mailers of the exercife of the firelock, 
 that they may be able to afiift in training the young 
 ioldiers in arms. 
 
 They are conftaatly to be prefcnt at roll-calling ; 
 imd fo foon as they cm make thernfelves acquainted 
 with the names and perfons of the men of the com- * 
 panics they belong to ; and fo foon as poffible with 
 their charadlers, that they may know the proper 
 fub)e(Jts to encourage, ay.d point out as examples,

 They arc to obftrve that the men are drcfred in 
 a foldier-like manner, and tonformablc to the orders 
 of the regiment. 
 
 They are to get exact lifts of the mens necefTarics, 
 and as well as the captains, of the arms, accoutre- 
 ments, and (lores. 
 
 They under the captains are to be anfwerable 
 ihat the proportion of the foldiers pay, ordered by 
 «he commanding officer {viz.) two fhillings and 
 four pence per week, be laid out io good and whol- 
 Ibme prGviiions. 
 
 They are to vifit their companies quarters at leaff 
 thrice a week, fee that they are kept clean, well 
 iiircd, and beds made ; and that if the landlords 
 have any juft caufc of complaint againft the foldiers, 
 or the foldiers againft the landlords, the aggrieved 
 jr»ay, by application through the proper channel^ 
 iind redrefs. 
 
 Tliey fliould frequently chufe the hour of the 
 foldiers dining for their vifitation, that they may 
 judge whether their victuals are comfortably cooked ; 
 they fliould particularly at that hour infpedt the 
 quarters of thoft men who are billeted upon houfes 
 of ihc lowelt dafs, as they ai-e moft likely to be 
 prevailed upon, by the difobedient foldier, to give 
 him liquor for his meat. 
 
 They mull: now-and-then occafionally go round 
 t}ie quarters between nine and eleven at night, to 
 fee that the men keep regular hours, conformable 
 to orders, not always truUing to the reports of 
 fcrjeants. 
 
 A young officer fliould never think he does too 
 iiiuch ; they are to attend the looks of the men, and 
 if any are thinner or paler than ufual, the reafons of 
 their falling off may be enquired into, and proper 
 jtneans ufcd to reflore them to their former vi^^our.

 to be by him committed to the nearcft fecure piifun, 
 in order to their being puniihed as the law diiedts. 
 
 As thcfpirit of jucobiiifm and diraiFectlon is kept 
 alive bypopilh prielts and nonjuring miniOers, and 
 as thcfe people are originally and principally the 
 caufe of all the evil proceeding therefrom, you are 
 to be very alert on enquiring them out, and when 
 you fliall ever find any of them aflbciating to more

 immediately feize them, procure proof of their hav-

 But that the wearing and ufe of fiich parts thereof

 thefe particulars the law takes place from that day. 
 His grace the duke of Newcadlc has therefore

 In obedience to thefe his majefty's commands, 
 you arc to feize all fuch perfons as fhall be found'

 No recruits to be fent, and the aukward men are 
 not to go unlefs they happen to be of the trades

 ic£i health. 
 
 June I. — It has been obferved, that foldiers have 
 been feen in the ftreets in the night, and that they

 reveille : any man who fliall prefume to difobey this 
 order, and Ihall be difcovered, to be put the next 
 morning into the dungeon, and confined theie for 
 four days upon bread and water. 
 
 The officers are defired to feize and confine any 
 foldier they meet in the ftreets contrary to this order, 
 that hereafter there may be no complaints of difor- 
 ders committed in the night. 
 
 The officer of the guard (hall be anfvverable for 
 the men on duty with him. The major defires 
 none of the officers will oblige him by their beha- 
 viour to give out any orders that may relate particu- 
 larly to them ; and hopes they will avoid all quarrels 
 and difputcs with the inhabtrants, which muft ne- 
 cefTarily tend to their difcredit and create mifchief ; 
 as may plainly be perceived from what has already 
 happened. 
 
 Subfiftence to be fent for the detachment to the 
 24th of June. 
 
 The lifts of each company to be given in both to 
 the major and officer commanding the party, with 
 each man's particular trade mentioned. — It is hoped 
 that the order in relation to paviours, carpenters, 
 &c. has been as much as poffible obeyed. In the 
 clioice of thefe men for this duty, what camp nc- 
 ceiTaries every man receives to be carefully marked 
 down by the ferjeant or corpor.il of his company, that 
 the fame may be returned to the flores when they 
 come back, or others paid for, if any lliould be 
 loff. 
 
 The captain who commands the detachment for 
 the roads, and the other officers, will take care that 
 the men be not impofed upon by the fu tiers, and 
 punifli thofe feverely that are found guilty of any 
 frauds.

 June 5. — The major obferves the unroldier-like 
 praftice of not coming to the places of p^.rade and 
 exercife ftill continues, notwithftanding the orck-rs 
 he has already given to the contrary ; he therefore 
 defires the officers to imprifon the fivfk who fliall 
 dare to difobey, that a necefTary example may be 
 made. 
 
 Some foldiers of the mod infamous chara^lers 
 have lately deferled from the regiment, and proper 
 meafures are taken to difcover and apprehend them ; 
 the major gives notice that the firfl: deferter that is 
 catched will be tried by a general court-martial, 
 and may expe^l: no pardon.

 ponds or lochs without permi/fion, nor are they to 
 go above two miles into the country withoiu leav^ 
 in writing from the officer commanding the com- 
 pany. Any fbldier who ihall take his firelock out

 The «v.V|ntant to mention the ofHccr who is the 
 next for duty in the publick orders, and that offi- 
 cer is not to go from the head quarters. 
 
 The officers are dcfired to obferve the orders tlint 
 have been given for frequently vifiting the foldicrs 
 quarters, that they may be informed of their beha- 
 viour, and know in what manner they diet, and if 
 the quarters are kept clean. 
 
 The ferjeants and corporals are to give in an ac- 
 count in writing to the commanding officers of com- 
 panies of the manner in which the different fquaJs 
 mefs, the number that eats Together, the houfts 
 where they diet, whether in their quarters or out, 
 fpecifyi'ng the perfons names that entertain fuch fol- 
 diers as do not eat in their quarters. 
 
 If any woman in the regiment has a venereal dif- 
 order, and does not immediately make it known to 
 the furgeon, flie fliall upon the firfi: difcovcry be 
 drummed out of the regiment, and be imprifoncd in 
 the Tolbooth if ever flie returns to the corps. 
 
 All foldiers that have the care of horfes are to be 
 provided with frocks. 
 
 The officer of the day is to underfland himfelf 
 upon duty in every refpe6l relating to the fervice, 
 and is very narrowly to overlook the guard and cen- 
 trics, and give orders for the patroles. The letting 
 a prifoner efcape is a reproach to the difcipline ot 
 the regiment, and implies a remiffiiefs that cannot 
 be too foon corrected. 
 
 When a prifoner is confined for theft he is to be 
 put in irons. 
 
 The major obferves, that the worfl and idlefl 
 foldiers are thofe that are moft frequently in ve* .real 
 diforders, by which they are incapable of ferving, 
 and their duty is done by better men ; he therefore 
 thinks they fhould fuffer for their intemperance ; and 
 Orders that 6 s. be paid for the cure of the pox, and 
 4$. for the dap j which fum of money is to be em-

 man cured, the money is immediately to be paid 
 him by the company in order to its being J;iiJ out 
 for the common benciit of Tick foldicrs. 
 
 Jan. I, 1750. — The foldicrs may undcrftand from 
 the fevcrity of the punifhmeiit of lall mjiulay and 
 today, that a want of honefty and fidelity will be 
 attended with theworft confequenccs to themfclves, 
 and that whoever a6ls the part of a villain mufl 
 expect all the rigour of the ftri6lcfl julVice. 
 
 A lift to be given to-morrow at orderly time of 
 the number of women in the regiment that ftll li- 
 r^uor of any kind, with the ftrcets ihey live in, and 
 by whofe permi/Tion it is they fell fuch liquors, that 
 proper meafures may be taken to prevent their co'> 
 tributing to the uncommon villainies that have uf 
 late brought a renroach upon the regiment. 
 
 No foldier's wite is to fuitle or fell liquor without 
 the major*s leave, on pain of imprifonment ; and leave 
 will only be obtained for fuch as are particularly re- 
 commended by the captain or commanding officers 
 of companies. 
 
 A ferjeant or corporal who brings a foldier drunk 
 to the parade for duty, knowing him to be fo, is 
 iirmediately to be imprifoned together vvidi the 
 drunken foldier, in order to their being both pu- 
 niOied as fo fcandalous and unfoldier-like practice 
 defer ves. 
 
 The recovering men of each company to be 
 brought every monday morning to the do6lor, that 
 he may judge whether they are fit to do duty or 
 not. 
 
 No non-commiflioned officer is to prefume to ex- 
 cufe any man from the review, exercife, or other 
 duty, with or without arms, or take upon himfelf 
 aa authority that does not belong to him.

 May 30.— No inhabitant of a town or other pcr- 
 {on, not ferving in the army or navy, is ever to be 
 received as a prifoner upon any guard, except when 
 coaimitted by the civil power, or confined for a c;i- 
 piial crime as a prcfent feenrity ; tlie oiliccr or non- 
 ccmmifTuuied officer commanding a guard is to be 
 anfuerabie for any difubedicnce of this order. 
 
 The fliameful driinkennefs obferved amonn: tl^e 
 men, on pay-days in partierda.r, is thought in a great 
 nicafnre to proceed from their not putting m a pro- 
 portion of their pay regularly into their meiTes : the 
 officers are to remember they have been more than 
 once required to be very exaiTI: in this part of their 
 duty, and that there is a landing order in the re- 
 giment for frequently viilting {he quarters and 
 mefTes ; they arc likewife defned to confider that 
 any negle(5l on their part brings the men to difor- 
 ders and crimes, and confeciuently to puniflimenr, 
 which would be avoided by a proper care of them, 
 and watch upon their condu(ft.

 with the utmoll care : they are to be quartered with 
 good and honefl foldiers, and by no ncans fuffered 
 to ailbciate with fuch as are oi a different character, 
 and known to be infiimous. 
 
 If any man of the party for the roadi prcfumes 
 on any occafion, or for any caufe whatever, to (hew 
 the fame fort of difpofition to mutiny and difobedi- 
 ence, as was obfervcd in fome (l)ldicrs of the laft 
 year's detachment, particularly in the caAle of Stir- 
 ling, captain Trapaud, and the ofFicers ordered to 
 command them, are to make an immediate and fe- 
 vcre example of the offenders; and when any man 
 of the detachment commits crimes of a high nature, 
 or is remarkably idle, he is to be fent prifoner to 
 the regiment, with his profecutlon in writing ligned 
 by the commanding officer. — It is recommended to 
 the oificers to be very diftinft in all their reports, and 
 to keep all their accounts with the utmoft regularity, 
 that the difficulty and confufion of li\ii year may be 
 avoided. 
 
 The officers, or non-commiiTioned officers com- 
 manding detachments are always to pay the ferries

 As the foldiers when accufed of theft often allege 
 in their defence that they find the things by acci- 
 dent, which they are charged of having ftolen; to 
 prevent for the future all excufe of this kind, it is 
 pofitively ordered, that a foldler who finds goods, 
 money, or any thing elfe of even the moft inconfi- 
 fiderable value, do immediately (hew the fame to 
 one of the ferjeants of the company, whofe duty it 
 is to acquaint the officer, in order to its being re- 
 Aored to the owner ; any man who difobeys this 
 order will be punifiied as a thief.

 If" any officer of this regiment fees a non-com- 
 mlffioiied olHeer, drunnner, or private man of* any 
 corps, in or near the c]iiaiters of the rep,imenr, ilic 
 oilleers is to examine the paffporr, and fend that

 if any non-comir,illioned oHicer or private man of 
 this regiment fees any man of another coVps in or 
 near the quarters, he is to condu^ft fuch perfon to 
 the then commanding officer. 
 
 A!l ferjeants, corporals, drummers, and private 
 men, wiicrher upon duty or furlough, are always to 
 addrefs thcmfelves to the commanding oflficer, ac- 
 quainting him with the bufinefs they are fcnt upon, 
 and fliewing him their pafTport or furlough. 
 
 No recruit is to be excufed from mounting guard, 
 nor ailoN^ed then to work in the intervals of duty, 
 till he has been a twelvemonth in the regiment, and 
 is thoroughly acquainted with the fervicc. 
 
 i^ a ferjeant or corporal of a guard allows any 
 thing to be carried into the black hole, befides the 
 bread and water as the order direcHis, the firfl: who 
 dares to connive at a practice fo pofitively forbid, 
 will be infbntly broke; and any foldier who at- 
 tempts to carry in provifions to the prifoners fliall 
 be put into the dungeon in irons. 
 
 No man that has ever been convi(fled of theft Is 
 to be ftnt to work at lord Glenorchy's, nor any that 
 have been often tried by courts-martial, unlcfs there 
 be a vifible reform, left tbcir behaviour bring a

 it has been obferved that the foMi.rs have of late

 their credit, and the credit ol the rcniiiicnt, abfb- 
 lutely forbids all kind of dirty woik whatfjcver, 
 and he will punidi any offender with fLverity. 
 
 The colonel is very well pleafed with the ap- 
 pearance of the men that aic come from work, and 
 with their peifoiniance this fumincr at the roads, 
 nnd thanks the officers for the care they have tnkcii 
 of them, their diligence and activity ; the fobrieiy 
 and indiifl-ry of the loldiers of that detachment arc 
 very much tor the crcJit of the regiment, and mufl 
 meet with general approbation. The colonel re- 
 commends to the captains and commanding officers 
 of companies, to furnifli their loldiers with every 
 iiecefliuy that is wanting, and to advance fuchfnms 
 of money for them or their families as they judge 
 proper.

 0(ff. 4, T750. — A Gentry having been knocked 
 down and wounded, the officers of the regiment of- 
 fer a rewiird oi^ ten guineas lo difcovcr the pcrfon 
 concerned. The cuflom of flceping upon theii* 
 pofls, which fome of the men have fo Aiamefully 
 pra^iifed of late, will encourage thefe attempts. 
 The colonel takes this opportunity to tell the fol- 
 diers, that he looks upon fleeping, or any want of 
 vigilance in the centry, to be :he highefl breach of 
 military difcipline, and of the moft fatal and dan- 
 gerous confeqiience ; he therefore warns ihem all, 
 that he is determined to make a dreadful example

 reveille he is to challenge all that paffes ; but at no 
 time of night is a centry to fulicr himfeli to be 
 aiHiultcd with impunity, or furprized upon his pofh 
 
 The recruits and every young foldier are, whea 
 centry, to be placed neareft the protedlion of the 
 main guard. 
 
 It is to be a fixed order in the regiment, that no 
 fcrjeant of a company is to take upon him the debts 
 of that company, nor olherwife to pay the com- 
 pany than by ifTuing the money as he receives it 
 from the captain or commanding ofTicer. At every 
 payment of arrears an officer of a company to be 
 prefent to fee the accounts fettled, and the ballance 
 due paid. 
 
 In cafe of tumult or difturbance the officer of 
 the day is immediately to take upon himfelf the com- 
 mand of the guard. 
 
 The colonel is extremely well pleafed with the 
 behaviour of the five companies fince they came to 
 town, and hopes they will continue the fame regu- 
 larity and fobriety, which they mufi: be fure is of 
 advantage to themfelves, creditable to the regiment, 
 and fo ufeful to his majefty's fervice. As the offi- 
 cers are determined to difcourage and punifli every 
 thing that is villainous and bad, fo they are likewiie 
 refolved* to countenance and reward fuch as diflin- 
 guifti themfelves by a contrary behaviour. 
 
 The colonel being informed that the foldiers have 
 got into a habit of gaming, infifh on the ftrjtanrs 
 and corporals doing that efFctftual pare of their duty, 
 fo as to find them out, and put a flop to that very 
 bad pradlice ; the firft that they difcover they are to 
 confine, and they fhall be brought to a court mar- 
 tial, and very feverely punhhed.

 moment he joins the regiment. 
 
 The recruiting officers are to acquaint tlic lieute- 
 nant colonel in what manner the parties who were 
 fent with them upon thatfervice behaved. 
 
 When the orderly corporal of any company 
 knows that any foldier of that company is taken 
 ill, he is to report him to the furgeon immediately, 
 and not wait till fuch fick foldier chufes to be rc- 
 ported, which is fometimes the cafe ; thefe delays 
 give time for the diftemper to cncreafe before a re- 
 medy can be applied, and endangers the man's life ; 
 a corporal who difobeys this order will be broke. 
 
 •By lord Bury*s regulation, a foldier that works 
 in his quarters, with his officer's leave, pays fix- 
 pence per week ; but as thofe who work at gcntle- 
 mens houfes and upon roads, at the rcquefl of par- 
 ticular people, have more labour, and wear out more 
 neceflTaries than the others, they arc only to pay 
 three pence per week. 
 
 The money arifing from this floppage, after pay- 
 ing the ferjeant-major and quarter-mailer fjrjeaiu, 
 is to be applied for the relief of the fick, in necelTai y 
 expences for the hofpital, Sec. 
 
 Whatever duty the foldiers are ordered upon, It 
 is to be done with alacrity and diligence. — The of- 
 ficers are not to fuffer any ncgle(5l or diCbbediencc 
 cither in the non-commiirit:)ncd officers or private 
 men to go unpunilhed. — The magiflrates of Aber- 
 deen made a complaint of a robbery, that is fup- 
 pofcd to have been committed by two foldiers ot 
 this regiment ; the colonel was iii hopes that thele 
 practices were at an end, and that the number of 
 villains he has been forced to whip out of the regi- 
 ment, had given fufficient warning,' and removed 
 the evil ; but fmce there are fome llill left, l;c dc- 
 llres they may be affiircd, that he will cf>ntribute

 1 750. — The colonel thinks thefoldiers cannot bet- 
 ter employ themfelves in the intervals of duty than in 
 fome fort of work, and w^ould by all means encou- 
 ja^:^e labour and indullry, as the beft way to pre- 
 ferve their healths, and enable them to undergo 
 fatigue whenever they fliall be called upon ; but he 
 \vili not allow the men to be engaged in any kind 
 of dirty work, that may fpoil or dirty their cloaths; 
 nor will he, upon any account whatfoever, fufPer a 
 ibldier to undertake work of any fort, without the 
 ie.ivc and approbation of the ofHccr commanding 
 the company. — The ofFiccis are very ready to grant 
 any thing that is reafonable, and confident with the 
 «iifcipline of the regiment, and therefore are to be 
 confultcd as the proper judges in this cafe. — If it 
 appears at any time that a foldier neglects his duty 
 undsr arms, or otherwife, or fcems to have forgot 
 any part of his military duty from conftant attention 
 to his trade or work, fuch foldier is to be kept clofe 
 to his duty till he is again ptTfc<^l:ly acquainted with 
 \\ hat he ought never to be ignorant of. 
 
 No recruit at extrcife to be flopped more than

 'I'he non-cotumilfioned officers upon dut;y arc to

 1752. — The court-martial has judged the crime 
 of Rigby the grenadier to be of fo pernicious a nature 
 that they have fentenced him to receive 600 ladies. 
 His youth and former good behaviour are the only 
 confiderations that could induce the lieutenant- colo- 
 nel to pardon him : but if hereafter any ferjeant or 
 corporal is known to receive a bribe from a high- 
 Jander, or from any perfon whatever, found or 
 known to tranfgrefs the laws, and does not feize

 ther to the officer from whom he is detached, or tO' 
 the commander of the regiment, a non-com miifion- 
 ed officer fo offending will certainly be broke. 
 
 It is with great faiisfaflion that the lieutenant- 
 colonel has received reports from the captains and 
 officers commanding in the different cantonments of 
 the general good behaviour of the companies under 
 their orders, of which he will not fail to acquaint 
 lord Bury when his lord (hip joins the regiment; 
 nor will he forget to mention how much reafon he 
 has to be pleafcd with the companies at Invernefs. 
 The foldiers muft obferve, that this fort of conduct" 
 is for their credit and advantage, and they may be 
 afllired it is highly agreeable to his majcfly, and 
 quite confident with the nature of his government ; 
 ^'"hereas violence, robberies, thefts, and illegal ac- 
 tions in the troops of the army, are dire(5fly contrary 
 to the king's juft intentions, and are a didionour to' 
 his reign. 
 
 The lieutenant-colonel and officers do plainly 
 jTeFceive that gaming is the fource of a great deal of 
 mifchief ; and therefore they are defirous to put an- 
 effectual flop to it : the centries are once more or- 
 dered not to fuffer it near their pods, and the fer- 
 jeants and corporals are required to vifit and examine 
 fuch houfes and places of refort as are mod to be- 
 fufpedled, ac any hour of the day or night that they 
 judge convenient, and to look through the quar- 
 ters of the foldiers that they believe to be addi(fted' 
 to play.

 foldiers have bceu married ia this town in a ckin-

 to all order and difcipline, and deferves an exem- 
 plary piinidiment, as well from the civil magiftrates 
 as from the military; the firft foldier who (hall dif-

 this fubje^t, and Hiall prefumc to marry in this in- 
 lamous manner, and withonthis officer's knowledge, 
 mnfl: expeft to be proceeded againfl with the utmofl 
 rigour. — The lieutenant-colonel further recommends 
 to the foldieis not to marry at all ; the long march, 
 aiid embarkation that will foon follow, mufl con- 
 vince them that many women in the regiment are 
 very inconvenient, efpecially as fome of them are 
 not foinduftrious, nor fo ufeful to their hulbands, 
 as a foldier's wife ought to be.

 Dec. 23. 1753. — ^^^ lieutenant-colonel has had 
 complaints from the people in the neighbourhood 
 of this caflie again If fome women of loofe dif- 
 orderly coi:du6t, fuppofcd to belong to the garri- 
 fon ; wiiich however is not true. — The colonel is 
 likewiie informed that the foldiers have in an open, 
 indecent, and fcandalous manner frequented thcfe 
 fariie women, to the great diihonour not only of 
 the corps they belong to, but to mankind in gene- 
 ral r he therefore defires they may be informed, that 
 he con/iders this fort of commerce with the fcx as 
 r!ie lalf and mofl dangerous degree of brutality, 
 ignominy, and vice; and that he cannot but enter- 
 tain an exceeding contemptible opinion of thofe who 
 have been concerned in it. Thefe women, encou- 
 raged by the foldiers, have done mifchief here- 
 abouts to the farmers : the foldiers will therefore 
 for the future be looked upon as the abettors of 
 thefe abandoned, infamous perfons, aad will be ac-

 countable In fome meafure for their ill deeds, anxl 
 puniQied accordingly. 
 
 Hazle, oFcapt.Maxwell's company, is not hereafter 
 to befuffered togo without the caftle gates ; the lieut. 
 colonel docs not mean by this to prevent his de- 
 ferting, but to puniih him for his Lnfolence : but he 
 defires that Hazle, and Findafs the grenadier, who 
 has already been condemned for trcafon, may know, 
 as well as all thofe who have been in the fcrvice of 
 France, or defire to be there, that he fcts no fort 
 ot value or eftimation upon them, and that he had 
 much rather they were in the Iri(h brigades than in 
 the army of Great Britain ; but if ever he hears 
 that any deferter ihall dare hereafter to threaten to 
 defcrt, he'll be immediately whipped out of the icgi- 
 ment, with every mark of infamy, contempt, and 
 difgrace, as unworthy to continue in it, and as a. 
 fit recruit for the rebel battalions, hired by the 
 French to fcrve againfl: their country. 
 
 As there is reafon to believe that recruits are em- 
 barked at Dover Callle for the French army, and 
 that deferters from our troops efcape in the fame 
 veffels, any foidier of the regiment who can make 
 difcovery of fuch recruits, or apprehend any of 
 thcfe deferters, fliall be rewarded over and above tha 
 allowance granted by aiSt of parliament : the fol- 
 diers that lie in town have the finefl opportunity for 
 thefe fort of difcovcries; and the lieutenant colonel, 
 defires they may be informed, that diligence and 
 prudence in this matter will be very agreeble to him,, 
 aiid advanta:>cous to themfelves. 
 
 His Royal Highnefs the Duke when he reviewed 
 the regiment at Reading was pleafed to exprefs his. 
 approbation of feveral parts of the difcipline of 
 it ; fuch as the manner of carrying the arms, of 
 levelling, of marching, and of wheeling, and ia. 
 particular of the filence and obedience that he ob-

 iV\e confufion fometimes perceived in the execution 
 of things that feem new; but his Royal Highnefs 
 thought that general Pulteney's Regiment fired their 
 platoons and fubdivifions quicker than we did, 
 wherefore lord Bury has commanded that we prac- 
 tife the fame platoon exercile that they do ; for to 
 the difference between their plaroon exeicife and 
 curs, his lordfliip afcribes their fnperiority in this 
 point ; and as his lordHiip is very de(irous that no re- 
 giment ihould exceed his own in the performance of 
 every part of ti\eir duty, and in matters of difci- 
 pline, he defircs we may begin to pradlife this platoon 
 exercife as early as poffible. 
 
 1 754. — It is obferved that fome of the men make 
 it a conftant pra6lice to get drunk every day, pay- 
 day, or whenever they have any money, and that 
 quarrels and riots are the ordinary confequences of 
 this fhnmeful and brutal excefs ; thcfe men are 
 therefore to be informed, that fome moderation in 
 their drink would be more becoming, and that 
 they may entertain themfdves without proceeding to 
 fuch extravagant lengths, by which the number of 
 prifoners are every day augmented, their healths 
 impaired, and their clothes fpoiled, befides violence 
 and infolence, the infeparable companions of drunk- 
 enncfs : they may be further told, that no truft or 
 confidence can be put in men that have fo little 
 command of themfelves ; becaufe it is believed if 
 duty and brandy were put into compofition, the li- 
 cfiior would be likely to prevail : feveral examples 
 of men that have left their guards and polls to 
 drink, but too plainly confirms this opinion : here- 
 after thofe profeft drunkards are to expert no man- 
 ner of favour or indulgence, nor will they be con- 
 fidered as perfons to be depended upon in times of 
 danger and fervice ; and of courfe recommendations

 that concern them, without which it is to no pur- 
 pofe to give them. 
 
 The lieutenant-colonel hopes that what the men 
 have heard and feen upon the occalion (ot the exe- 
 cution of a deferter) will r^ ..e fuch impreflions upon 
 ihem as it ought to do ; and that they will be pre- 
 vailed upon by the melancholy example before them, 
 and by the excellent difcourfe and exJiortation of 
 the minifter, both yellerday and this day, to fet 
 fome bounds to their exceffes and debauchery, and 
 thereby avoid the caufe of every crime, and the pu- 
 niHiment that muA necelTarily follow. 
 
 It has been obferved, that fome foldiers go out of 
 thefe barracks with a full refolution to get drunk^ 
 and have even the impudence to declare their in« 
 tentions, and that fuch foldiers ufe infolent and 
 difrefpe^lful language to the ferjemts and corporals, 
 pleading drunkennefs and flupidlty in. excufe; thefe 
 men may therefore be informed, that the fiiH of , 
 them who fhall take upon him, whether drunk or 
 fober, to infult anon-commilTioned officer, cither in 
 the barracks or upon duty, fliall be put into the 
 dungeon in irons till he be fufiiciently convinced that 
 modefly, fobriety, and obedience become the cha- 
 ra£ler of a foldier. 
 
 Jan. 3 1 , 1755. — As it is highly probable, by the 
 preparations actually making in France and in Eng- 
 land, that a war is at hand, and as it is likely that 
 the earl of Albemarle's regiment may be employed 
 this fummer on board the fleet, the lieutenant-colo- 
 nel therefore defires that the foldiers (particularly 
 the young ones) may be acquainted-, that whoever 
 fliall defcrt for the time to come, will be confidered 
 by him, and by all the officers of the regiment, as 
 a coward and a traitor, and will, if taken, be pro- 
 ceeded againfl as fuch, and condemned without

 in different fituations ; to be fully inftru<51ed in the

 ranks till they are compkat in the material cxer- 
 cife of a foldier. The oihiicrs u'ill like'.vife take par- 
 ticular care that the recruiis be leg'.darly ted, and 
 properly provided with necelLu'les, ftrivtly obferv- 
 i.ng former orders relating to the floppage.s ; and 
 they are to look to their behaviour and manner of 
 living, and to the company they keep, that a pro- 
 per remedy may be applied in time when any thing 
 is found aniifs. 
 
 One of the fubaltern officers to he conflantly with 
 tiie recruits when they exercife, to fee they are pro- 
 perly inftru(5led ; and he is to make his report to 
 the commanding officer in town every day after it 
 is over. 
 
 Whatever the fize of the recruit may be, he is to 
 fire, kneeling and ftanding, to the front, to the rear, 
 and obliquely, and from one rank to fix deep ; but 
 this is not to be done till they are acquainted with 
 the ordinary parts of their exercife, and either by 
 an officer, the adjutant, or ferjeant-major.

 may come the nearer to their buliuefs, and be uiui c

 or divifion?, or by companies, is the mvdf flmple, 
 plain, and eafy, and ufed by the befl difciplined 
 troops in Europe, we are at all times to imiiate

 The commanding officer obferves with concern, 
 that feveral foldiers have lately been confined for 
 quitting their guard without leave ; and from his 
 having accidentally made fome difcoveries himfelf, 
 he concludes it is a crime that is often committed, 
 to the great prejudice of the good order and difci- 
 piine for which the regiment is remarkable. — He 
 therefore orders that th.e prifoner Roulikm be put 
 in irons and confined in the dungeon ; and the ler- 
 jeaut of the guard is dellred to call the roll more 
 frequently, and not at fet time?, as is commonly

 WINCHESTER. 
 
 The duke of Richmond's company marches to 
 Tiverton to-morrow morning ; the lieutenant-colo- 
 nel defires the fokliers of that company may know, 
 that he is highly pleafcd with the report made him 
 by the commanding officer of thtir behaviour at 
 Tiverton, and he has particular rcafon to be fatif- 
 fied with their appearance and performance under 
 arms, and the rert of their condu«^t fince they came 
 to Exeter ; all which he (hall take pleafure to make 
 known to rhc duke of Richmond their captain, snd 
 to lord Bury ; and he recommends to them to go 
 on fViU in the nght way, and they may be fure of 
 the friendfliip and prote6lion of their officers: rmd 
 the lieutenant-colonel takes this opportunity to thank 
 the officers and foldiers of the companies here for 
 their extreme hatidfome behaviour under arms, the 
 knowledge and diligence of the officers, and the 
 obedience and attention of the foldiers was very 
 confpicuous; and Sir John Mordaunt, who reviewed 
 the regiment, expreflfed his fatisfadlion in the llrong- 
 eft terms, and will make a proper report to his Ma- 
 jerty and the Duke of what he faw. 
 
 The lieutenant-colonel hopes that every part of 
 the conduct of the foldiers will correfpond with their 
 appearance under arms, and that they will behave 
 themfelves in fuch a manner during, their ftav here, 
 that thofe who would be glad to complain again fl 
 them may be difappointcd, and the quiet honeit 
 fabje<n: freed from the danger of infult or abufe ; 
 for there is nothing that the king is fo particularly

 upon the whole corps. 
 
 It mnft neceflaiily happen that dlfputes will fomc- 
 times arife between the loldicrs that arc quartered in 
 town and the inhabitants oFa place, and between fjl- 
 diersoF the fameandof ditfercnt regiments ; it is there- 
 fore the immediate duty oF the fubaltcrn oflicers oFthc 
 companies to which fnch foldiers belong, who are en- 
 gaged in thcfe difputcs, to go to the place and pc(>pjj 
 where, and with whom fuch quarrels have happened, 
 to enquire dire(5Hy into the caufcs, and report it to 
 their captain and to the commanding ofliceroF the re-

 the offence, that they may make clear and proper 
 reports to iheir comm mding officer, ihat juflice may 
 he done upon the offender, as well as to ihofc who 
 have been injured. The officers, and particularly 
 the young ones, aie de fired to read ihe ordeis with

 (orders that the companies of his regiment fhould be 
 levelled forthwith. 
 
 By the major's report, and by the accounts of 
 the captains and officers who were prefent at the 
 draught that was made from the five companies at 
 Briflol, it appears that the foldiers did behave thcm- 
 lelves upon that occafion with all ihefteadinefs,chear- 
 lulnefs, and obedience that may be expe<^ed from 
 brave men and good fubje6"ts; not a man declined 
 the fervice, and all marched off with a rcfolution 
 never to diflionour the corps they ferved in, and to 
 ilo their utmofl: for his Majerty's fervice and the 
 good of their country ; fuch troops as thefe, men 
 that may be depended upon in all changes and cir- 
 cumftances, deferve to be confidered as real foldiers, 
 and to be valued and efteemed accordingly. 
 
 Several indecencies have been committed by the 
 foldiers, and the rudeft and mofl provoking affronts 
 have been offered to women, even in the publick 
 ftrects ; the men are to be told that the pra6lice of 
 affronting and Infulting the fex is unmanly and bru- 
 tal to the highefl degree, and leaves an impreflion 
 very hurtful to the reputation of the regiment. The 
 officers are to have exa6l accounts of the private ha- 
 bitation of every foldier who does not lie at his bil-

 i^nd he recommends to all the officers of the regi- 
 incnt to confider of what importance it is to have 
 the arms and ammunition of the regiment at all 
 times in the mofl: exad: order. 
 
 If any foldier of the regiment is fcen to make life 
 of his bnvonct to turn the cock fere w of his fire- 
 lock, or othcrwife abufing that weapon, fiich fol- 
 dier will be iiillantly imprifoned. It is neceffary 
 that every foldier in the regiment (liould be taught 
 to pin a fiint into his piece, fo as to procure the moil: 
 certain fire, and not to cut the barrel ; and it is like- 
 wise of great importance that every foldier fliouLi be 
 taught to make up his own ammuijition. Thefe are 
 t.-iini^s that are not to be neglected without detri- 
 ment to the feivice, and therefore the lieutenant- 
 colonel recommends them to the captaiui) and ofli- 
 cers as objccfts worthy their attention. 
 
 I'here are particulars in relation to fire arms 
 thiU the foldicrs (hould know; one is, the quantity 
 cf p>^/A'dcr tliat throws a ball cut of a mnna^t in tl.e 
 t: uell dircOion to tlje mark, and to the rrreatefl dif- 
 t.;ncc ; a matter that experience aiid praiflitewlll bell 
 d'ifco\er; fuldieis are apt to im;inine that a rrc;it 
 quantity cf powder has the befl elfccft, which i- a 
 capital error. The frze of the cartridge with ball is 
 another material confideration, becaufe when the 
 muffcrt grvow^s foul with repeated firing, a ball too 
 rear the caliber of the mufket will not go down with- 
 out great force, and the danger of firing the piece 
 when the ball is not rammed well home is well 
 known : the foldiers fliould be informed that no 
 oil:er force in ramming down a charge is neceffary 
 than to colle(5l the powder and place the ball clofe 
 upon it. If the ball is rammed too hard upon the 
 po.v'der, a great part of it will not take fire, and con- 
 Icquently the Qioc will be of fo much the lefs force.

 The lieutenant-colonel has been t<dcl thnt fomc

 nary exercife ; how unfit fuch men as thefe are for 
 war may be eafily imagined, and how well they 
 merit contempt and puniihment: foidiers are to 
 underflancl that conflant and regular exercife is as 
 necelFary for their heakh as it is for ih-Av inftrue- 
 tion ; and that an army of men, undiilipllned, un- 
 taught, and unufed to any tati^nie, is an eafy prey 
 to people trained in arms, and brought up in all 
 the cxercifes of war. If ever the lieutenant colonel 
 hears, or is infonned, thac a foldier exprefles him- 
 felf to be difliitisficd with exercife, or work, or

 or tliat he droj3S words tendinis to dlfcourare the

 is tl.c dillinguiilicd character of a good foldicr to 
 go through every part of his duty with chcarfulnefs, 
 itfoliuiun, and obedience. . • 
 
 The commanders, in their refpc^ftive quarters, 
 will fee that the foldiers are regular in their attend- 
 ance on divine fervice; and it is hoped they do all 
 in their power to abollfh drunkcnnefs and fwearing 
 (\i.es peculiar to the Britifh troops) from amongft 
 them ; at leall-, that they will rcprefent the infamy 
 and brutality of fuch vices, and punilh the ofTend- 
 
 crr. Several foldiers have taken upon them to 
 
 man y without the confcnt or approbation of their 
 captains : the lieutenant-colonel will have a lift fcnt 
 cf thcfc mens names with the firft orderly man. 
 
 He has been informed that fome mean rafcals 
 have agreed with the magiftrates, or civil officers, 
 in their quarters to marry proftitutes and common 
 whores for pecuniary confiderations, to the great 
 dillionour and difcredit of the troops. — If ever any 
 thing of this fort comes to his knowledge, he will 
 never forgive the offender, nor confider him in any 
 o'.her light than as the laft and moft contemptible of 
 fcoundrels, and will order him to be treated as fuch 
 upon all occafions. 
 
 When the companies are reviewed in fa-r weather, 
 the men arc to do the platoon exercife with their 
 knapflicks on, to accuftom them to ufe their arms 
 under this difadvantage ; becaufe itoften happens

 therefjre great care fliould be taken to place them in

 It is his majefly's pleafure that bat and baggage 
 hrrfes be forthwith provided for the twentieth re-

 to provide themfelves as cxpeditioufly as pofTible, 
 either before they march, or upon the march, iii 
 confec]uence of the king's commands. 
 
 If, in this fituation of things, a foldier (hould 
 be wanting in his duty, maligner, or quit his divifion,

 he (hall be punilhed with double feverity ; and the

 dience. When the men are crouded in their quar- 
 ters they mufl content themfelves with flraw, with- 
 out murmur or complaint. 
 
 If the enemy lands (as they feem to intend) the 
 lieutenant-colonel does not doubt but that the of-

 fires the foldiers may be afTiired, that they fliiill al-

 The lieutenant-colonel is perfnaded that the of- 
 ficers will in all refpects maintain and keep up rhe 
 difcipline of the regimeni in its full force, and he 
 hopes the foldiers will behave them^^lves in fuch a 
 manner as not to oblige thtir officers to ufe fcverity 
 and corredllon. 
 
 A corps of well trained foldiers, ought at all times' 
 to value theiTjielves upon an exa^t and regular per- 
 formance of every part of their duty, biu particu- 
 larly at this time, when they may be moil ufeful and 
 ferviceabie. 
 
 If the battidion changes their quarter?, they will 
 carry every thing with them ; b'.u if the French at- 
 tempt to invade the country, and we march in or- 
 der to oppoie them, the foldiers are not to be biu*- 
 thcncd with too many neceilaries in their knapfacks. 
 Three (liirts, two pair of good flioes, three pair of 
 ftrong worfled ftockings, and one pair of foals, is 
 all that will be wanted ; the reO mull bejeft behind, 
 and direfVions will be given for the fecurity of ail 
 the fupcrfluous baggage of the regiment. 
 
 Aii the centries are to wear watch- coats from re-

 they have no box nor cover to Ihelter them from the

 The next time the regiment is under arms it is to 
 be formed in the following order of battle by com- 
 panies. Captain Beckwith's company upon the 
 ri.>ln of the battalion, with the coloncrs company 
 upon its left, makes the right grand divifion under 
 captain Beckwith's comiPfiiid ; captain Wilkin fon's 
 company upon the left of the battalion, Mith the 
 lieu tenant-colonel's upon its right, makes the left 
 grand divi/ion of the reo* nent under captain Wil- 
 kinfon's command ca^- '•! Maxwell's .. Tipany 
 upon the left of rhe coloners, with the major's upon 
 its left, makes the fecond grand divifion of the right 
 wing of tlie battalion under captain Maxwell's com- 
 mand ; the duke of Richmond's company upon the 
 right of the lieutenant-coloners, with captain M* 
 Duwall's upon its right, makes the fecond grand 
 divifion of the left wing of the battalion under the 
 duke of Richmond's command, or in his abfence 
 under captain M'Dowail's command. — Thefe eight 
 companies are each to be tjld off into two platoons 
 for the picfent ; but they upon other occafions may 
 only be confidcred as one platoon, if their numbers 
 or other circumdances require it. 
 
 The company of grenadiers is to be drawn up 
 together upon the right of the battalion, and cap- 
 tain Grey's company as a piquet upon the left, each 
 at a little diilance fiom the battalion, and told off 
 into two platoons. 
 
 The ofiiccrs are to be with their own companies. 
 Where there "are two captains in a grand divifion, 
 one of them is to be in the rear, and one lieutenant 
 is to be placed in the rear of each of the other grand 
 divifions. - ■

 or «n younger man of unexceptionable charatTlcr, for 
 whole behaviour the captain will be anlwerablc ; 
 thefc men are to be fuch as have never been punilh- 
 cd for any crime, or even under fcntence. 
 
 This little platoon, with two ferjcants, two cor- 
 porals, fupported by the hatchet-men, are to guard 
 and defend the colours, and a proper officer will be 
 appointed to command them. 
 
 If the battalion fhould be ordered to attack the 
 enemv in this or any other order of battle, a captain 
 or ofiicer commanding a company or platoon Ihall 
 be at liberty to except againfl any particular man, 
 recruit, or young foldier, who appears timid, and 
 inrn fuch foldier out of the ranks, that his fears may 
 Juvc no influence upon the reit. 
 
 The regiment is not to be formed in this manner 
 but when it is particularly ordered.

 any other caufe whatfoever, muft expert to be tried 
 by a general court-martial for the crime.

 or abandon the colours for a flight wound ; while 
 a man is able to do his duty, and can (land and hold 
 his arms, it is infamous to retire. 
 
 The battalion is not to halloo or cry out upon 
 any account whatfoever, although the reft of the 
 troops ihould do it, until they are ordered tochnrge 
 with their bayonets; in that cafe, and when they 
 are upon a point of rulliing upon the enemy, the 
 battalion may give a war-like flioiit and run in. 
 
 Before a battle begins, and while a battalion is 
 inarching towards the enemy, the officer command- 
 ing a platoon is to be at the head of his men, look- 
 ing frequently back upon them to fee that they are 
 in order, the ftrjcant in the mean while taking his 
 place in the interval, and the officers arc not to go 
 to the flanks of the platoons till they have orders, 
 or a flgnal (o to do from the officer commanding the 
 battalion, and this will only be given a little before 
 the aflion begins. 
 
 If the battalion (liould be crowded at any time, or 
 confined in their ground, the captain or officer com- 
 manding a grand divifion may order his center pla- 
 toon to fall back till the battalion can extend itfelf 
 again, fo as to take up its ufual ground. 
 
 All the officers upon the left of the colours are 
 to be upon the left of their platoons; the captain of 
 the piquet is to be on the left of his piquet, and 
 the enfign in the center. 
 
 Every grand divifion confifling of two companies, 
 as they now are, is to be told off in three platoons, 
 to be commanded by a captain, a lieutenant, and an 
 enfign, with a ferjeant to each ; the rcfl: of the offi- 
 cers and non-commiflioned officers are to be diflri- 
 buted in the rear to compleat the files, to keep the 
 men in their duty, and to fupply the places of the 
 officers or the ferjeants that may be killed or dan- 
 geroully wounded.

 Every mudcetccr is to have a con pie of fpnrc ball^, 
 an excellent flint in his piece, another or two in his 
 pouch, and as much ammunition as he can carry. 
 
 A foldier that takes his mufkct off his Ihoulder, 
 and pretends to begin the battle without order, will 
 ijc put to death that inflant : the cowardice or ir- 
 regular proceedings of one man is not to put the whole 
 in danger. 
 
 A foldier that quits his rank, or offers to fly, is 
 to be infiantly put to death by the officer that com- 
 mands that platoon, or by the ofiicer or ferjeant in 
 the rear of that platoon ; a foldier does not deferve 
 to live who won't fight for his king and country. 
 
 If a non-commiffioned officer or private man is 
 mifling after an a(5lion, and joins his company af- 
 terwards unhurt, he will be reputed a coward and 
 a fugitive, and will be tried for his life. 
 
 The drummers are to flay with their refpe6livc 
 companies to alfifl the wounded men. 
 
 Every officer, and every con commlfTioned officer, 
 is to keep ftri(fily to his poft and platoon, from the 
 beginning to the end of an a(Slion, and to prcfervc 
 all poffible order and obedience ; the confufion oc- 
 cafioned by the lofs of men, and the noife of aitil- 
 lery and mufketry, will require every officer's ilridlefl: 
 attention to his duty. 
 
 When the files of a platoon are difordered by the 
 lofs of men, they are to be completed afrcfh with the 
 utmofl expedition, in which the officers and non^ 
 commiflioned otficers in the rear are to be aiding 
 and affifling. 
 
 Officers are never to go from one part of the

 If intrenchments or redoubts are to be defended

 If the battalion is to attack another battalion of 
 equal force, and of like nunilx r f i ranks, and the 
 country qiiite open, it is l.i,;r'ly probable, that, 
 after hiii;!; a few rounds, they \\\\] be commanded 
 to chnri'c' liuni with tlicir b:uoJ,etr, for which tl.e 
 o/lictrs axl !T)en flionld be prepared. 
 
 If the cciitcr of tliC battalion is ratacked by a co- 
 lirwn. the wings mull be cxiKnicly cnjeful to fire 
 cibliqiiely. That part of the b.ittalion againfl whh h 
 the column marches, mud refer ve their Hre, and if 
 tlicy have time to put two or ihrce bnllers in their 
 pieces, it muft be done. When the column is with- 
 in about twenty vards they muft fire with a good 
 aim, which will nccellaiily Aop them a little. 
 This body may then open from the center, and re- 
 tire by files towards the win?;s of the regiment, 
 while the neigi.bouring phitoons wheel to the right 
 and left, and cither fire, if they are loaded, or clofe 
 up and charge with their bayonets. 
 
 If a body of foot is pciUd behind a hedge, 
 ditch, or wall, and being attacked by a fuperior 
 force i& ordered to retire, tlie body fliould move off 
 by files, in one or more lines, as perpendicular as 
 pofTiblc, to the poft they leave, that when the ene- 
 my extend themfelves to nre through the hedges, 
 the objeft to fire at may be as fmall as pofTible, and 
 the inarch of the retiring body as ouick as pofTible.

 The death of an officer commanding a compfiny 
 or platoon (hall be no excufe for the confufion c^r 
 mifbehaviour of that phfoon ; for while there is an 
 officer or non-commi/fioned officer left alive to com- 
 mand, no man is to abandon his colours and becray 
 his country. 
 
 The lofs of the field officers will be fupplied (if 
 it (liould fo happen) by the captains, who will exe- 
 cute the plan of the regiment with honour. 
 
 If the battalion fliould have the misfortune to be 
 invefled in their quarters (or In a pofl which they 
 are not Cv.mmaudcd to defend) by a great fuperio- 
 rity, they have but one remedy, which is, to pierce 
 the enemy's line or lines in the night and get off'. 
 In this cafe the battalion attacks with their ranks 
 and files clofcd, with tl"!eir bayonets HxGd, and 
 without firing a (liot. They will be foi-med in an 
 orJer of attack fuited to the place they are in. All 
 pofhble means will be ufcJ, no doubt, to fiirprize 
 tjiem ; but ii they are found in arms they are to be 
 vigoroufly attacked w^ith tlie bayonets. — It is need- 
 leis to think ot iiiing in tlic night, becaufe of the 
 confufion it creates, and tlie uncertaintv ofhittinL^" 
 any objecl: in the dark. — A column that receives the 
 enemy's fire, and fills imm.ediatly in aniungi^ ihcfii 
 mufl neccirarilv defeat them, and create a very vii.At 
 diforder in their armv. 
 
 All the voun£T ofiicers of the reoi:r.er.t are to be-

 When the guard does the platoon exercife, the

 and another to the lift of the guard, and they are 
 to give the words of command loud and diftin^,

 Lieutenant — is publickly reprimanded for

 When any officer omits to vifit his guard fre- 
 quently, to fend out his patroles conflantly, and to 
 receive their reports, and when fuch officers go to- 
 bed at eleven at night, robberies and other lawlefs 
 Icandalous adlions may be committed with impu- 
 nity. 
 
 The young officers are to be informed that vigi- 
 lance and an exa6t attention to their duty upon 
 guard is expeded from them in the f\ri6lcfl man- 
 ner, and that nothing like what has already hap- 
 pened will be overlooked for the futuie. 
 
 The lieutenant-colonel is extremely well plcafed 
 to find that the foldiers of colonel Honywood's re- 
 giment were not concerned in the robberies that 
 have been of late comn/ilteJ, and he is willing to 
 ])i)pe that the far great,.!- part of them have a jufl

 Order of Exerci'fe for the Regiment of Dra- 
 goons and the two Regiments of Foot 
 quartered at Canterbury. 
 
 The enemy is fuppofed to have four battalions 
 in one line, whofe flanks cannot be turned: this 
 fuppofed line fliall be marked out by flakes of five 
 feet feven inches above the ground, to regulate the 
 movement of the troops, and to guide their levelling 
 well ; the two regiments fhall conform to the prac- 
 tice of the army in their firings, and in their telling 
 orT the battalion. 
 
 At a proper didance from the enemy the three 
 regiments (liall form in order of battle j the infan- 
 try in the center in one line, one- third of the ca-- 
 valry on each wing, and the remaining third as a 
 referve behind the center of the line. The cannon 
 fliall begin firing How, and allowing time to take 
 good aim as with round fliot, the enemy being at 
 a confiderablc diflance ; but when they approach 
 within rench of grape fhot, their firings fhall quicken. 
 The firing of the infantry fliall begin by platoons 
 followed by that of fub-divifions, then by grand- 
 divifions, as they approach nearer and nearer the 
 enemy, fo that this la(l firing may ceafe when they 
 come within a few paces of his line, who being 
 broke in his center, and attempting to form twa

 Gur infantry in flank ; the king's regiment Ihall wheel 
 to the right on the center of each grand-divifion, 
 and the twentieth regiment in like manner to the 
 left ; during the wheel the grenadiers on the flanks 
 of the infantry charge with their bayonets any fmall 
 parties of the enemy that may be nigh, but muft be 
 returned to their ports when the wheel is ended, 
 that the grand divifions now fronting the enemy 
 may without delay begin firing by platoons as a fe- 
 parate body, and fliall march a (low oblique ftep ; 
 the king's reoimcnt to their right, and th« twentieth 
 regiment to their left, while the three grand divi- 
 fions and grenadiers in rear fliall form the battalion 
 alfo by an oblique ftep, thofe of the king's to the 
 left, and thofe of the twentieth to the right ; but as 
 briikly as good order can admit of, and firing by 
 platoons as foon as doubled up, tliat each body of 
 the enemy may receive the firint^ of the troops, as 
 they form a lour, eight, t^\'tlve, and fixteen pla- 
 toons fucceillvely ; and our battalions then formed 
 fhall be back to back, covering each other, and the 
 enemy's firfl: fituation crofTinp; by our colours : the 
 cavalry on the wings fliall be on ground to the flanks 
 of the line, while the inlantry wheel and move from 
 the center, and till the enemy's confu/ion fliall give 
 them an opportunity to charge; this movement of 
 the cavalry to be obierved as much as the ground 
 "will admit. 
 
 The referve without lofs of time fliall march 
 through the interval made by the wheeling of the 
 battalion, to prevent the enemy's center from raily- 
 iflg, or to take his wings in flank or rear, fliould his 
 confuflon or movement offer an opportunity.

 they begin to wIjCcI, at which time they ihall rrot 
 brilkly, and in good order, through the inter>als as

 not approach nearer the enemy ihiin 200 yards .ill 
 they begin their charge, which (hall be when the 
 battalions are foimcd in their fecond pofi^on ; they 
 Ihall then charge on a briik rrot and in [^ood order. 
 
 The lieutenant colonel defues that the captains 
 will acquaint their men that H. R. li. the duke has 
 cxprcfled his approbation of their appearance and 
 bv-haviour under arms; in very flrong terms; and he 
 iias been pk a fed ro fliy, b.e has conceived a good 
 opinion of the corps, and does not doubt but ihey 
 will take the firll opportunity to Uifllnguilli thcn[i- 
 fclvcs. 
 
 As the regiment has been particularly diAinguifhed 
 in the late promotions, and a number of officers of 
 great merit taken out of the corps, it is hoped it 
 will be tbe confiant endeavours of their fucccflbrs 
 to promote the difcipline and confequently the ho- 
 nour of the regiment. The captains are defired to 
 omit nothing that will tend to the inftruftion and 
 improvement of the young fubaltern ofhcers who 
 are lately come amongft us, each in hi? own com- 
 pany, and to that end they may have a platoon or 
 the whole company under arms as often as they 
 pleafe, giving notice to the comn^nding officer of 
 the regiment. 
 
 Seveial captains having reprefented to the com- 
 manding officer of the regiment the remiffiiefs, ncg- 
 ledl, and ignorance of fome non-commiffioned offi-

 Whenever the regiments fend for draw or any thing

 Four days provifions will be landed this day for 
 tie troops; the Rangers will receive for fix. 
 
 All detachments and out-guards that are placed 
 for the feeurity of the camp are to fortify thcmltlves 
 iii he bcft manner they can^ either by intrenching, 
 planting paliflidoe?, or by cutting down trees, and 
 making a breair-worJv of the trunks, with the 
 branches thrown forwards ; in this fjtuation a fmall

 in a woody country derachments muft never halt

 with ali imaginable varc and prec.ation. Next to \a-

 There nnift be no filing of mufkets, but in a fol- 
 dicr-like miviiner, by order of the commander of tlie 
 corps, in the middle of the day. 
 
 Major Scott will give directions to the body of 
 rangers upon this head ; becaufe this practice is 
 more common among them : as the inulkets are fo 
 foon loaded on any alarm, the regiments arc to avoid 
 the waife of ammunition, and frequenc mifchief that 
 happens by their being loaded in the bell-tents ; 
 cales for the hammers of the muikets mull be pro* 
 vided, that the arms may not go oif and do liarm.

 ORDERS and REGU" ATIONS. 
 
 The objeiH: of the campaign is to compleat the 
 conquefl of Canada, and to finifli tlie wav in Ame- 
 rica ; the army under the commander in cliieF will, 
 enter into the eoloii\- on the fide of Montreal, while 
 the fleet and army attack the governor general and' 
 
 his r< 
 
 orcci 
 
 Great fufficiency of provifions, and a numerous 
 artillery is provided, and from the known valour of 
 t]ie tioop=5 the nation cxpe(ffs fuccefs. Thefe bat- 
 talions have acquired reputation the h(\ campaign, 
 and it is not doubted but they will be careful to 
 preferve it ; from this confidence,, the general has 
 aflured the fecretr.ry of ffate in liis letters, that 
 whatever may be the event of this campaign, his 
 majeily and the country will have rcafon to be [d' 
 tisficd with t!ie army under his command* 
 
 The general means to carry the bufineH through 
 with as little l(;fs as poflible, and with the hightfl 
 regard to the fafety and prefervation of the ti oops : 
 to that end he expe^fs that the men work chear- 
 fully and diligently, without the lead unfoldicr-like-

 fary orders fhould be flriftly obeyed. 
 
 The general propofes tortifying his camp in fuch 
 a manner as to put it intirely out of the enemy's 
 power to attempt any thing by furprize, and that 
 the troops may reft in fecurity after then* fatigues. 
 
 As the fafety of an army depends in a great mca- 
 fure upon the vigilance of the out-polb, any officer' 
 or non-commiflioned officer who (hall riiffer himfelf 
 to be furprized, muft not expeft to be forgiven. ; ' 
 
 When any alarm is given, or when the enemj is 
 perceived to be in motion', and that it be neceflary 
 to put the troops under arms, it is to be done with- 
 out noife or confufion. * • ' . , 
 
 The brigades are to be ranged in order of battle 
 by the biigadier generals at the head of the camp, 
 in readlnv'^fs to obey the orders they (hall receive. 
 
 Faife alarms are hurtful to an army, and dif-' 
 honourable to thofc that occafion them ; the out* 
 pofh are to be fure the enemy is in motion, before 
 they fend their inteiligcnce. Soldiers are not to go 
 beyond the out guards, the advanced ccniinels will' 
 lire upon thofe who attempt to pafs beyond the pro- 
 f er bounds. . . ■ 
 
 It may be proper to apprize the corps, that the 
 general may perhaps think it nccediiry to order fome 
 of the light troops to retire before the enemy at 
 times, fj as to draw them nearer the army, with a 
 view either to engage them to fight at a difadvan- 
 tage, or to cut off their retreat. ' ' '* 
 
 The light infantry of this army are to have their 
 bayonets, as the want of ammunition may at fome 
 times be fupplied by that weapon, and becaufe no 
 man (lioald leave his poft, under pretence that all 
 his cartridges were fired. 
 
 In mofl attacks of the night it muft be remem- 
 bered that bavoncts are preferable to fire.

 The commanders of regiments are anfwerable that 
 no rum or fpirits of any kind be fold in or near the 
 tamp, when the foldiers are fatigued with work or

 The general will order fuch refrefhments as he 
 knows will be of fervice to them, but is determined 
 to allow no drunkennefs or licentioufaefs in the army. 
 
 If any futler has the prefumption to bring rum on 
 fliore, in contempt of the general's regulations, fuch 
 fiulcr (liall be fcnt to the provofl's in irons, and his

 The general will make it his bufinefs, as far as

 In order to preferve the health of the troops, each 
 regiment and corps are to make new necefFary- 
 houfcs, at leafl every third day, and throw fomc 
 earth in them daily. They are to be made by the. 
 front line as far advanced as they convcnienly can, 
 and thofe of the fecond line as far in the rear of the 
 whole encampment. 
 
 The quarter- guards of the front line arc to ad- 
 vance at leaft loo yards, and if ntccflary are to throw 
 lip fome little work to defend them. Bragg's gre- 
 nadiers to mount as a guard in the new redoubt to 
 night, and to remain there till break of day. 
 
 As the enemy has been obferved to work on a 
 battery on the other fide of the water, to cannonade the 
 camp, it is neceflary to extend to the right to avoid 
 their fire; the light infantry is therefore lo take 
 pofl: in the wood, Bragg's and Monckton's are to 
 decamp, and go to the ground affigned them by 
 the quarter-mafter general ; Otway's are to occupy 
 the houfes where the light infantry now are; a 
 company of grenadiers to encamp in the redoubt ; 
 the artillery to be brought clofc under the hill ; two 
 polls to be fortified, one before Monckton's and one 
 before Bragg's. A battery of fix pieces of cannon to 
 be marked out immediately to oppofe the enemy *^s 
 fire ; and, as foon as it can conveniently be done, 
 another battery of four guns fhall be ereifled upon 
 the fummit of the hill overlooking the Fall, and com- 
 manding the ground on the other fide. 
 
 In cafes when the fecurity of the camp muft be 
 immediately attended to, the troops mud expccH: to 
 meet with extraordinary fatigues ; and as they go 
 through them with alacrity and fpirit, the general 
 will not be fparing of fuch refrefhm.ent as he thinks

 The troops having loft provifions when they 
 landed here, and having gone through fome fatigue,

 arms when the water begins to ebb, in readinfs to 
 crofs the ford, if there fhould be abfolutc neceifity 
 for fo doing ; In the mean time they will continue 
 their work with all pofTible diligence and alTiduity. 
 — If iliips can be brought near enough to operate, 
 and the wind is fiir, an attack will be made upon 
 one of the enemy's moft detached works, in aid of 
 which attack the artillery from hence mufl be cm- 
 ployed. Brigadier general Townfliend will be pieaf- 
 ed to give fuch directions as he thinks moil for fer- 
 vice upon this head. 
 
 In general the cannon can't be fired, nor even 
 be brought np to fire, till it is vifible that the attack 
 will be made. 
 
 If the day is over hot, and no wind, this opera.- 
 tion can't take place. 
 
 If the battalions fliould march, colonel Howe 
 mud return to his camp in the moft fecret manner. 
 The marines miift be brought into the two redoubts 
 where Lafcelles's regiment takes port ; the remaining 
 part of the Americans into the great redoubt, Hef- 
 fen's company into the fortified houfc ; Anfiruther's 
 and the light infantry will be ready to join the 
 army. 
 
 When captain Cowart's detachment is not w^anted 
 by the artillery, forty of his men are to be put into 
 the little redoubt near his camp, the reft into the 
 great redoubt on the hill. 
 
 Major Guilliam is appointed to 3(51 as aid-de- 
 camp to the commander in chief till further orders. 
 
 The check which the grenadiers met with yefler- 
 day will, ic is hoped, be a leflbn to them for the 
 future. They ought to kiiow that fuch impetuous, 
 irregular, and unfoldier-likc procccdiiig defiroys all

 out of the general's power to execute his plan. 
 The grenadiers could not fuppofe that they alone 
 could beat the French army, and therefore it was 
 neceffary that, the corps under bngadiers Monckton 
 and Townfhend (hould have time to join, that the 
 attack might be general. The very firfl: fire of the 
 enemy was fufficient to repulfe men who had lofl all 
 fenfe of order and military difcipline. Amherft's 
 and the Highland regiment alone, by the foldier- 
 like and cool manner in which they formed, would 
 undoubtedly have beat back the whole Canadian 
 army, if they had ventured "to attack them : the 
 lofs however is inconfiderable; and may, if the men 
 fhew a proper attention to their officers, be eaiily 
 repaired when a favourable opportunity offers. 
 
 The grenadiers of Louilbourg are to remain in 
 the Ifle of Orleans till further orders ; lieutenant- 
 colonel Murray 1s to command in that ifland. 
 
 The companies of grenadiers, of the battalion in 
 camp at Montmorenci, are to join their refpeftive 
 regiments ; and thofe belonging to general Monck- 
 ton's corps are likewife to join their regiments ; the 
 Highlanders are to go over to their camp at Mont- 
 morenci.

 and not permit him to be examined, or any quef- 
 tions aOccd him, by any pcrfon whatfoevcr, till he is 
 prei'ented to the commander in chief. 
 
 A fubaltern and twenty men of the company of 
 marines on the right, is to relieve the pofl: of ma- 
 rines at the lower battery this evening ; the two 
 companies are to take this duty alternately ; the com- 
 pany on the left is always to give the ferjeant and 
 nine for the Point. In cafe of an alarm the oiTicers 
 CO nmanding the party of t\v ^nty, is to retire lo the

 them ; this detachment to return with the flood. 
 
 A detachment of light infantry and Bragg's regi^* 
 ment to march early to-morrow morning three or four 
 miles into the woods in the fame order that Anftrii- 
 ther's marched ;. this corps is to keep fomething 
 more to the left, and then fall down into the open 
 country, fupply themfelves with peafe and other 
 greens, and then return to camp. 
 
 10.— When any detachment fees or hears of the 
 enemy, the commander mufl fend immediate notice 
 to the general. 
 
 When the efcort that covers the working parties 
 sre polled, they are to receive the enemy in that 
 
 fituation 
 
>1 
 
 [ 95 1 
 fituation till the commander thinks proper to reinforce 
 them, or call themolT; in the meau time the work- 
 ing men are to get under arms, and wait for fuch 
 orders as the commanding officer thinks proper to 
 give. 
 
 The general \vas extremely furprized to fee the 
 diforders that itemed to run through the woriving 
 parties this morning, and forefees, that if a ftop is 
 not immediately put to fuch unfoldier-like proceed- 
 ings, the confequences mud be very dangerous. The 
 men fired this day upon one another, fired upon 
 the light infantry, and werefcattered in fuch a man- 
 ner, that a few refohrc people would have eafily 
 defeated them ; it is thefore ordered and command- 
 ed, that when there is an alarm of this kind, every 
 foldier remains at his poft till ordered to march by 
 his proper officer. 
 
 If any man prefumes to detach himfelf, and leave 
 his platoon, the officer will make an immediate ex- 
 ample of him. 
 
 The general has ordered five guineas to be givett 
 to the centinels of Otway's, for taking an Indian 
 alive, whofe bufinefs it was to furprize fome negli- 
 gent centinels, and affafrmate them. 
 
 When a fmall party of volunteers propofes thcm- 
 felves to lie in wait during the night, for the re- 
 connoitring parties which the enemies may pu(h 
 towards the camp, the general will give them leave 
 to try it ; and if any foldier kills an Indian, or takes 
 him aiive (which is flill more difficult) he fhall be 
 handfomeiy rewarded. 
 
 The parties fhall not confifl of more than fourteen 
 or fixtecn men, unlefs when a fubaltcrn commands, 
 and in that cafe they may be of twenty or twenty-five 
 men. 
 
 When the foldiers are not employed in work, 
 they are to drefs and clean themfelves, fo as to ap- 
 pear 
 
 i 
 
[ 9<5 ] 
 
 pear under arms and upon all occafions la the mofl 
 foldier-likc manner. 
 
 Each regiment and corps are to parade a man of

 the five piquets of the line which is not upon im- 
 mediate duty; the whole to be commanded by major 
 Morris.

 tain Ifleback's company of marines, are to hold them- 
 felves in rcadinefs to pafs over to the Ille of Orleans, , 
 and relieve the grenadiers of Louifbourg in their 
 duty there. 
 
 As the enemy's light troops are continually hover- . 
 ing about the camp, in hopes of furprizing fome fmall 
 guard, or fome of the centinels, it is necefTary to be ' 
 very vigilant on duty; the out-pofts and guards in 
 the redoubts are not to have lefs than a third of 
 their men under arms ; and for an hour before day, ' 
 and for at le.iii half an hour after broad day-light, 
 the whole are to be under arms.

 vages, greatly fuperior in number, the general has 
 ordered, that the firfl vacant commiflion in the army 
 be given to Mr. Cameron, as an ackowkdgemcnt of 
 his good conducfb and very gullant beh?.viour. A 
 fcalping party of general Bragg's regiment, com-

 When a brigade or battalion is in order of battle 
 in the neighbourhood of any houfe, coppice, or

 The general is too well acquamtcd with the va-

 their behaviour. They know the enemy they have 
 to deal with to be irregular, cowardly, and cor- 
 rupt, a little vigilance however is ncceffary to pre- 
 vent furprizcs ; the corps muft keep together, muft 
 not difperfe, nor wander about the country. - •

 THE king, juftly exafperated againft France^ 
 has fet on foot a confiderable armament by 
 land and fea, to bring down the haughtinefsof that 
 crown. His aim is to deftroy the moft confidtrable: 
 fettlements of the French in North America : it is 
 not agaiaft thcinduftrious peafants, their wives and' 
 children, nor againft the minifters of religion, that 
 he deilgns making war. He laments the misfor- 
 tunes to which this quarrel expofes them, and pro- 
 mifes them his protection, offers to maintain them 
 in their pofleffions, and permits them to follow the 
 worftiip of their religion, provided that they do not 
 take any part in the difference between the two 
 crowns, direflly or indire^ly. 
 
 . > ... . , The 
 
[ io6 ] 
 
 The Canadians cannot be ignorant of their fitua- 
 tlon : the Engliih are mailers of the river, and 
 blocking np the paflage to all fuccours from Europe. 
 7'hey have be fides a powerful army on the conti- 
 nent under the command of Genera! Amherfh 
 
 The refolution the Ca uidians ouglit to take, is by 
 no means doubtful: tht utmoft exertion of their 
 valour will be intircly uHLfs, and will only ferve 
 to deprive them of the :u'vant:iges that they might 
 enjoy by their neutral" t;/. The ciucliies of the 
 French againft the fubjc(':ts of Great Britain in Ame* 
 rica. would excufe the moil i'tverc reprifds ; but 
 Englilhmen are too geneious to follow barbarous 
 examples. They ofltr to the Can:.dians the fweets 
 of peace, amidil the horrors of war. It is left to 
 them to determine their fate by their condu(5l. If 
 their prefumption, and a wrong-placed, as well as 
 fruitlefs courage, fhould make them take the moft 
 dangerous part, they only will be blamed, when they 
 (hall groan under the weight of that mifery to which 
 they expofe themfelves. 
 
 General Wolfe flatters himfelf tliat the \yhole 
 world will do him juftice, if the inhabitants of Ca- 
 nada force him, by their refufal, to have recourfe 
 to violent methods. He concludes, in laying before 
 them the ftrength and power of England, which 
 generoufly flretches out her hand to them : a hand 
 ready to aflifl them on all occafions, and even at 
 a time when France, by its weaknefs, is incapable 
 of afliAing them, and abandons them in the mofl^ 
 critical moment.. , -^ . •
