YORK MILITARY ASYLUM A laudable institution which has bee adopted in this country, through a particular recomendation of His Ro Highness the Duke of York, for in education of orphans, and of the c dren of meritorious soldiers. The lowing rules are directed to be dee ed:

The plan was accordingly adopted, and in addition to the supplementary militia, and volunteer corps that were formed in the different parishes, bodies of YESAWUL, Ind. A state m mounted yeomen were regularly assem- ger; a servant of parade, who car bled, and were headed by the princi-gold or silver staff; an aid-de-cam pal noblemen and gentlemen belonging to the several counties. Conspicuous, however, as the martial spirit of the country appeared at that time, it has been far surpassed in the exertions, to which Englishmen have been excited, || by the innate valour of their constitutions, at the present eventful period. Roused into action by the repeated menace of invasion, and knowing no other surrender of this last asylum of liberty, but that which is connected and interwoven with their lives, the inhabitants of these Islands have felt încreased animation in proportion to the repetition of the old Roman sentence (Delenda est Carthago,) which has so long been heard from Ushant to the Baltic, and which will again be renewed should the French succeed in Germany. Among other noble instances of disinterested patriotism, his Grace the Duke of Northumberland has raised among his tenantry, a corps of 1511 men, consisting of a body of 3d. To those who have lost ther horse artillery, commanded by a cap-mothers, and whose fathers are als tain, six troops of cavalry, and 17 com- on duty abroad, panies of infantry; the whole clothed, appointed, paid and maintained by himself, for government has only found arms and accoutrements. The captain of artillery and the staff receive a permanent pay. Such a command, and such a saving to the state, are proud circumstances to boast of, and worthy of a British nobleman. Advocates, as we most unquestionably profess ourselves to be, for a regular army, in the most extended sense of the expression, we cannot with-hold our tribute of applause to this effusion of native patriotism. It has proved the determined spirit of the land to resist invasion, and by so doing, it has shewn, that while the soldiers of general service are fighting their country's battles in all quarters of the globe, their native
