SKEEN & STUART, of man, had no motive but to avoid punishment, and cared nothing as to tho parties and causes for ond against which ho fought. “Such,” says Mr. Greene, * waa the traning of tha men who wero hired to fight apainst the Deciaration of Independence.” Mr. G. thon brings his sketch to bear upon American hiatory, aa follows : St soon became evident to tho English Gov- croment that it must either give up the contest with America, or atrengthes its armies. The population of the Colonies was geveralty exti- miated at 4,000,000. To reduce these 3,000,000 to obedience, England had only 15,000 moo in arms between Nova Scotia and Floridn. Allowing all that could be claimed for the difference between well-armed and well-diseiplined mon and an un- disciplined and imperfectly, armed mititia, it was atitl easy to aco that in a protracted contest euch au this was sure tobe, uuribers muat. prevail, Her own subjects England could not fully count upon for filling the ranuke, for by many of thom the war_ waa disliked fromthe beginning. Vbe City of London itself war notoriously onpored to it, It wan necensary, thorefore, for the Ministry to cast about them for A MAN-MARRET from whence to draw their xupplics. ‘Cho firet that prosonted itscif to their minds was Russia, The two rovereigns wero on friendly terms, England bad virtually consented to the partition of Poland, in 1772, ‘The treaty of Kutschuk- Kainarke; in 1774, had left Rusws with a power- fularmy, What moro proiitaile use could she make or it than Dy xelliug it to England for so many gitineas a head? Gunning, the English Minister at tho Russian Court, was instructed to begin negotiations for 20,00 men; for it was not mere auziliaries, but an army, that England sought to bring into the Held, thus crushing the insurrection by a well-directed blow. In an in- terviow with Count Panin, Cstherine’a Prime Miniater. the British Envoy asked, ay if in a casnal conyvereation, whether, if the prosont meacures for the suppression of the insurrec- tion aboutd fail, and hiv master should find him self under the neccasity of calling tu torei troops, he could count ujion s body of Tussiso infantry? The treinod diplonat made wo an- awor, but reforred the quoetion to the Empreus, who, replying in terms of general politeness, professed to feol herself under great obligaticns to Georgo, which she would gladly re- pay iu tho manner most sgrecable to bim. Without waiting to weigh thees words, which in diplomacy might meav much or might mean nothing, Gunuing wrote to his Court, in all haste, that the Emprews would furnish the 20,000 infantry, The important tidings woro received by the British Court with great di light. ‘Tho commanders serving in “Amcrice were. toid on what powerful succor thoy might rely, and the King iu his rapture wrote with his owa band A LETTER OF THANKS to hie ropa) sister. Gunning wan ordered to push on tho uogotiations, aud, aa if he had never known before how little faith can bo placed in the language of diplomacy, was over- whelined with astoniehment when he was coolly told that tho words of the Emprous wore but tho genorol expression of a Irlondly feclug, and that she bad asid nothing of the Russian in- inntry. Groat was the indignation of the En- ghsl King, not that the negotiation bad faitod, troops in Germany known, than officers of all rrades, wha had been thrown ont of service by the clone of the Seven Yeara’ War, and tho con- aeqnent reduction of the armies for which it ad found employment, came crowding with propose al» to open recruiting ofices and raine men. How Inen wore raised has already been toll. George. in_apite of his Royal convictions, felt a homane reruple. ‘To give German ofticora authority to raino recruits for me Is, in plain English, noither moro nor lews than to hecome a man-stealer, which I cannot Inok upon aga very bonorahla uccupation,” But Roval scruples soldom go fat in the interest of fuimanity.

If the carpaign of 1776 was to open with vigor, reinforeeunente inurt be speedily on their way, Sir Joneph Yorke, an experienced diplomatist familiar with the ground, was instructed in the summer of 1775 to arcertain un what torma and in what numbers meu could be oLtained. In September he rephed that Hesse-Casael, Hersa-Darmatudt, Wurtemborg, 8axe-Ciotha, and Baden wero ready to furnish any nambor of’ troops at a given time and for s fair price. The Crown Isince of flense-Caskel, in particular, was very oarnent to strike a bargain, and close upon bis Leela came tho Prince of Waldeck. ‘('beir own letters, mout- ly iu Lad French, romain to this day in the En- glish archives, to bear witness to their degrada tied, 2 will give a specimen of their Enztish, which is every way worthy of their French: “My Lord” Ayaios the Hereditary Driuca of Herne to Lord Suffolk), “the luck £ have bad to Lo able to show in some manner my utmost rerpect and ratitnde to the best of Kinga, by offering iy troop to His Majeaty’s service, gives me a very xerecable opportuvity of thanking Mate may Lord, tor all your kindness and friendship to me upou that occasion, and bogging your pardon for all the trouble I may bave provided you in this regard. “My only wishes are that ail the ollicers aud soldiers of my rosiment now to His Majesty's or- dera may ve animated of the same reupectful at- tuchmoat and utmost zeal I shall over bear for the King, my generons protector and macnaui- Mone aupport, May the end they aball fight for answer tothe King'aupper contuutment, and your laudable endeavors, my Lord, be grauted by the moat happy iswuc. | ‘Lhe continuation of ‘your fricudship to me, air, which I desire very much, aasures your goodness and protection’ to my troops, “Tank, in thoir namo, this fuvor from you, xnd hope they will doserve it. wExcuso me, sir, if I am not strong enough . in the’ English language fcr 10 explain as I should the utmomt courider- ation and sincero esteem with which I um for. ever, my Lord, your most humble and vers obe- dieut Hervant.
