His Majesty has been most graciously pleased to allow half the officers of the several regiments ordered abroad, for the relief of others doing duty in garrisons, to remain at home, and afterwards, at a time agreed on by the officers, they are to join their respective corps, and then those who came out with the battalion, are in their turn, to have leave of absence from the regiment. This arrangement evinces his Majesty's regard for the accomodation of his officers, renders the service much more delectable, and will prevent many a gallant Gentleman's retiring from it.
