Again, the law fay that 4 when the governor (lull review the milith it fhall be the duty of the adjutant general to attend,' but there is no fine impofed on the men for not attending the general reviews, fo that the governor has been obliged to order the reviews on the

days of the regimental mutters. Whenever

his majefty thought him better calculated to guard his own facred perfon, the gracious queen, and the peerlefs princeists, of his illuftrioushoufe, than to fend him to cut the throats of the Virginia whigs. I am truly forry that The Friend to Truth,' had not chofen a more appropriate fignature, as his prefent one fo illy agrees with his own chara&er, and that of his ef-

fay.
