It has also been ublicly stated, that the regular troops pos on the north-western frontier, have not received a dollar for the last fifteen months. Why these things, or either of them, are ao, is a very natural as well as an interesting enquiry; for the ublic interest is deeply concerned in the tide ity of the public nts, in a matter so delicately meeting the oh no reputation.

And, besides, if money were wanted, the resump tion is, that it might be easily rais to any amount required by the wants of the vern ment. W lay, then, have the militia of ennes see not been paid?
