This gentleman has propui'O to rane and clothe a regiment of volunteers (to confift oF fix hundred men) at his own individual expend, tot the orote&ion of Liverpool and heigh- bourhood, an ottef whicnv nas oeen acceoted by his Majefty in the mofl gracious manner. This loyal and fp'irited effort in defence of our Na tionaip Independence it is not doubted, will excite other gentle men of fortune to follow fo diftin- guimed an example, not only in this neighbourhood, but in various parts of the k nedbm." " ifhe K.ing having been pleafed to appiove and accept Mr. B ItonS cfrsrj to taife and clothe, at rus own ec pence, a Regiment of Volunteers, confiding of ten Companies, for tht Droteftion and defence of the town oT Liverodol. and i s neiehbour. hood, TueTdav and Wednelday laft were appointed for enrolment. Nothing could be more gratifying to the inhabitants than the zeal and loval'y difplayed oh the occafion. The Mayor and many of the mer chants, attended t6 give it then finttion and fupport, Mr; Bolton. i'n a fhort addrefs, explained the mo tives wh-ch, at this critical period, had induced him, thus particularly, to give lupport to Ljoyernmeni, ana to contribute to the defence of the country-; and, in two hours, the wr.oie numocr or trc ten vompa- nies was more than cornplete. The enrolment Was continued on yefler day, and fdrrie hurtdVed names were added. From the t pint difplayed on the occafion, thtrc Can be no doubt that the Regiment , of Royal Volunteers-, will be moil highly ef hcient and refpccublc.
