06/30/1821 FORCE OF THE ARMY

The four regiments of Artillery --- Thirty - Six companies, of fifty non-commissioned officers, artificers, musicians, and privates, 1,980.

Enlisted men for ordnance duties, 53. The seven regiments of Infantry --- Seventy companies of fifty-one non-commissioned officers, musicians, and privates, 3,570.

And the non-commissioned staff, 36.

Making a total of 5,568

Head Quarters of Gen. Brown, at Washington; of the Eastern Department, under General Scott, at Governor's Island; of the Western, under Gen. Gaines, at Louisville, Kentucky. Officers not retained to be considered as disbanded on 1st June; all men released from arrest and proceedings of courts martial, and all deserters exempt from punishment.

The new ARMY LIST engrosses our colums to day almost as entirely as the subject has occupied public attention for some weeks past. This document is, indeed, of no little importance to many individuals and their friends in a personal sense, not to speak of the interests which, in a general view, the community has in the composition of the Army.---- We feel for the situation of those gentlemen among the dismissed officers who had considered themselves embarked for life in the military profession, and now find themselves stranded, at the mercy of the world, with whose tempestuous waves their education has not taught them to buffet. This fluctuating policy in regard to the army, fixing it at one session of Congress, reducing and reorganizing (and almost disorganizing) it at another; is calculated to render the army less useful, and is seriously prejudiced.

 
06/30/1821 ATTENTION!

CAPTAIN LEWIS'S Company, of the 4th Regt. Arkansas Militia, will meet on Wednesday next, 4th July, at 10 o'clock A.M. at the place of deposite of Public Arms, (Col. Brearley's store) to receive their muskets and accoutrements, and then parade at the public square, for exercise. June 30.
